Hosker, G [Sword Of Cartimandua 10] Roman Hawk - Plot & Excerpts
The palisade which they found was to keep their animals enclosed rather than intruders out. The extended family of the grandmother, son, wife and five children made a good living close to the river. The regular flooding of their river side field fertilised the earth and it yielded a healthy crop. They had managed to keep alive many of their animals through the harsh winter and the farmer was already anticipating an increase in their numbers. Sadly all that ended when the hungry and tired warriors exploded into the quiet of their hut. Trygg left his men to it and he wandered to view the land to the west. Inside the females, regardless of age were all ravaged and then killed. The males all died mercifully quickly. Even as Trygg watched the sunset and the river snaking along westward to its source high in the hills, vaguely visible in the distance, the animals were being slaughtered to provide sustenance for the victorious easterners.Gurt joined Trygg, “We have had a successful day. Are all your raids as successful?”“I think that in all my visits to this land I have lost but ten warriors. I plan well and my men know what they are doing.”
