Sorweel: „Then how can we hope to resist him?"
Harweel: „With our swords and our shields. And when those fail us, with spit and curses."
But the spit and the curses, Sorweel would learn, always came first, accompanied by bold gestures and grand demonstrations. War was an extension of argument, and swords were simply words honed to a blood-letting edge. Only the Sranc began with blood. For Men, it was always the conclusion.
