An Attack

"Interesting," Doaf muttered, "alright I'll spread the news to boys. I bet they'll be much excited about moving up their muscles for a bit after all this march."

He laughed while waving towards a nearby giant and told him about the orders. The eyes of the giant shone brightly as he nodded and went to deliver the news.

The next hours more of the giants went missing until there were only a handful of a hundred securing the caravan. "The trap is laid young master," Doaf said, "all that's left now is for the prey to take the bait."

Arthur nodded, yet the wait lasted for two more days. The time when the giant numbers decreased, everyone here noticed this and became a bit worried.

As time went by, and nothing happened, they all started to get used to this. They thought others were scattered around protecting them, and so no danger ever occurred to them so far.
