You decided to speak with Isnott but since he seemed sleepy you preferred to talk to one of your men on the road. You saw Cop drinking some mead through his flask and wiping his mustache after having finished. You told him.
-Nothing better than to drink after an evening of drinking !
It made him laugh and he answered.
-Of course my lord, we can drink to celebrate.
-Have you been to Pleasantville before, dear Cop ?
-Yes, yes, I was my lord. A long time ago, the half-brother of my wife lives there. Nice town but I prefer Local. I grew up here, everything is familiar.
You nodded, he was a good man who was attached to the land where he lived. Seeing that one of his sons, the first one, travelled too, you asked.
-First time that you brought your son ?
-Yes, he never saw it he must see it's cousins I thought and he mounts better than me.
The son, a young blond lad who was called Fed if you remembered well, while the youngest one was called Swat, reddened and told that he trained hard. These men were good soldiers, even if they did not fight in a war they distinguished themselves in all your skirmishes and you could count on them to not flee. Sensing that you were thinking Cop stayed silent so you had to ask.
-Are you not afraid of the Kobold slavers that everybody talks about ?
The man laughed and told.
-Kobolds are pesky little shits my lord, I had to kill some of them in the times of lord Random, but now... Heh... With you my lord we got more practice, I served twenty years and I have maybe seen more than a third of my fights in the months of your reign.
-Really ? You were there against the Ghibellines, against the wolf men too and against the assassin in the inn. You fought when we defended the castle too...
-Yes my lord, this is true service. Far too long we have let adventurers do all the work while we only guarded the area. I mean, if we can't kill things why joining the guard ? And you did well by banning all these women from the force, women are worth nothing in battle or in the guard... And I saw that you haven't taken one of those evil races too...
-Evil races ?
-Yes, yes, Orcs, Centaurs, Minotaurs... Some lords take them into their guards, I tell they bring only troubles. The guard is there to keep them in check not to be infiltrated my lord. There are still the shorties and the knife ears in the guard but they are more tolerable.
-You mean short Scotsmen and guelphs ?
-Yes... As you call them. My father always told me my lord that "Around elves, watch yourselves" especially dark elves and I know by experience that everything small is treacherous.
