Ranger's Apprentice 10: The Emperor Of Nihon-Ja - Plot & Excerpts
‘So far, we only have equipment for ten men. The others have to take it in turn to train and practise.’ ‘Practise what?’ Evanlyn asked but Halt signalled her to wait. They stopped at a point where a grove of trees screened a smaller gully. Will and Selethen ushered them forward and they came to a flat section of land, forty metres by twenty. Horace pointed to a line of fascines – bundles of light branches tied together, each about the size of a man – standing at the far end of the gully. ‘What are they?’ Will grinned at him. ‘They’re the enemy.’ He looked at Selethen. ‘Do you want to take over?’ The Arridi warrior shrugged deferentially. ‘It was your idea. I’m just an assistant.’ Will nodded, gathered his thoughts for a second, then proceeded. ‘I got the inklings of this idea when we first arrived here and I saw the Kikori at work. Their group discipline was excellent.’ Shigeru nodded. ‘It has to be. Timber cutting is a dangerous business.’ ‘Exactly,’ Will said.
