Fallen Ward (Deepwoods Saga Book 3) - Plot & Excerpts
Once there, Rune noticed that the shoreline dipped just enough to provide some cover, if one was hunched low enough. It would drop their speed in half, but it increased their chances of getting to the back unseen. It was a unanimous vote to use that way instead, at least as far as they could. They’d eventually have to come out of the beachy area and back onto solid ground, but they could cover most of the distance towards the rear of the army, and that was what mattered. Three thousand men all packed onto one road took up quite a stretch of distance. It took a solid half-hour of jogging in that hunched way before they saw the end in sight. No wonder there had been no reaction from the leaders in the rear when Alexander had stood on top of the wall—they couldn’t have possibly seen or heard him from there. Alexander ran part of the way on his own legs, as he wanted, but he soon tired. He didn’t have the stamina to run for an hour straight. Rune ended up carrying him after a while, and running stooped over with a child on his back was not comfortable.
