19 Solution

Lord Gulian-"I'm far too old for a duel"

He bellowed across the Camp with his gruff voice while scratching his Auburn beard

Ryker-"well you are allowed to choose a stand in"

Lord Gulian paused for a moment then turned to his son who looked back at his father with a frown

Lord Gulian-"I choose my son Donnel Swann as my stand in"

The attention of the army turned to his son Donnel

Donnel is a man of average height with a Gorilla chest and heavily muscled arms

He looked at Ryker's swords and armor then turned his attention to the crowd and lastly his father

Sweat rolled down his face and he shook his head

Donnel-"I don't know"

Ryker-"it's ok take 100 of your men and march on castle Darry to soften them up for our main force"

Gulian took a hard swallow of spit and spoke again

Gulian-"we'll be outnumbered 1 to almost 300"

Ryker replied with smile

Ryker-"So it should be easy"

Gulian turned to his men

Gulian "Gather your horses"

Ryker-"keep the horses with the main force, walk"

Most of Gulian's men walked off and only the loyalists of them ,including his son,stayed by his side which must've been only 16 or 20 guys
