Morgarten (Book 2 Of The Forest Knights) - Plot & Excerpts
A light skiff covered the still frozen ground, but with hundreds of men churning it up, Thomas knew it would be a field of mud before the end of the day. He watched the men come through the gates in groups of five or ten with their training swords in hand; fathers, sons, brothers, friends, and more than a few wives and mothers leading the way with packs of provisions to see the men through the day. One minute the courtyard was empty, the next filled to overflowing. Was it his imagination, or were many of them newcomers, men not yet on any of his lists? They took up places on the ground, forming a semi-circle around the center of the yard, in front of Thomas and Noll. Behind the two men stood Ruedi, Max, Urs, and Anton. The murmurs of the group began to grow louder, until Thomas stepped forward and held up his hand. He waited patiently for silence. He looked out over the crowd and felt curious eyes on him and his men. He saw many grin and sit back, exchanging nods with their neighbors. They expected a show, like the Venetians had put on.
