A Cunning Foe - Part 3

"Notice, Jericho, only out front three ranks at most are engaged in this combat. That's a mere fifty men, on both sides, that are engaged in this fight," Amion told him. "Such a small-scale battle for so many men. We can continue this fight near infinitely, if it were to come down to it. The same is not true for the enemy. They arrived weary, you can tell by the look of them. General Khan did not let them get away lightly."

"Hah…" Jericho said, breathing a sigh of admiration. "So it's over before it's even begun?"

"Well," Amion said, "at least until they bring forward their General. It will be then that the battle shifts. But in leading with their General, they have already lost. They will not have the might to take the top of the mountain in such a condition. But by then, our job will already be done."
