Misdirect...?

"M'lord means to say misdirect to Attlel, yes?" the Captain inquired uncertainly. "Just as we have been misdirecting back to Akanos in the hopes of cutting down the Ohnarian forces in Larodais?"

"No Mathias. We attack. They will not see us coming until it is too late. By then, we will have destroyed their militia in the region."

"But M'lord! They will have us surrounded, if we should strike into Attlel!"

"Well, I surely hope so, good captain! I tire of waiting around. At least now we can finally have a decent bit of exercise and fun! Let them come and surround us! We shall cut through their soft ranks easily."

The Duke guffawed and walked away from the sighing captain, who was beginning to think that his lord loved battle a bit too much for his own good and safety. Attacking the militia in Attlel while enemy forces are within half a day's march from three regions to reinforce? Sheer madness!

Grinning widely to himself as he strode away from the disbelieving captain, Xarnelf muttered, "Heh, wait 'til Tharion hears about this... I would love to see the expression on his face, hahah!"
