Summa Elvetica: A Casuistry Of The Elvish Controversy And Other Stories - Plot & Excerpts
His thighs were chafed raw, his entire body ached, and he had neither slept nor eaten much in the last three days. Nevertheless, he held his head high and sat erect on his horse despite what the effort cost him. General Varus was determined to bring the Merethaimi army to battle, and every man in his three legions knew he would march them straight into hell itself before he’d give up the pursuit. Miserable as he was, Quintus couldn’t feel sorry for himself. At least he was on horseback. Varus was driving the men mercilessly; yesterday, Quintus heard they’d marched almost twenty-two miles overland. That was nothing special for a legion travelling along a well-constructed road, but here, in the hilly roadless wilds of the Ippolese borderlands, it was a brutal pace. And yet, Varus had little choice. The elf king’s army was half cavalry, and its infantry consisted mostly of long-legged archers. For the last month, the cursed elves had marched circles around Varus’s three legions, maddening the general with their tantalizing proximity.
