Jabel's Nobles (Part-2)

Jamider (Earl) Nibbar's imposing speech gave the nobles pause.

"..." And thus they stood around the door in flux, not knowing what to do next.

Some consider taking their chances.

While some believed it might be better to stick together.

And as they looked at each in askance, finally, being unable to bear the stifling air, one of the nobles turned around and picked up the courage to ask, "Then what does Your Lord propose? Fight?"

His question was laced with fear and apprehension, meaning if Jamider (Earl) Nibbar made the mistake of saying yes, he would be the first one to bolt.

He very well knew the number of his own men and they were not enough.

"Fight? Without horses? That's what peasants are for!" Jamider (Earl) Nibbar had an incredulous tone to his voice as he pronounced this, as if finding the very concept beyond absurd.

After all, it was common knowledge among nobles that a noble who does not fight on a horse was not a noble, but just common rabble.
