But the strategy of the army of Vergan had been different from the initial plan of Ifa-ile. And if the army of Ifa-ile had known, they would have asked their deity of wisdom for the direction of the war that comes to them.
And verily, the king, the army, the council of Ifa-ile had gone by the river and waited for their arrival. In this sense were each of them ready for battle and this trait can be seen in their fashion.
Not only in their fashion was the evidence of their already prepared self for the battle. It was also in their expression of the faces. For no one among them had worn a smile on his face. That their faces were filled with anger and daggers as they awaited the coming of the Vergan whom they had hoped to massacre at once.
