The royal host had massed about the walls of Lauretia, and marched southwards to surprise Fulviac at St. Gore1. Half the chivalry2 of the land had gathered under the standard of the King. Sir Simon of Imbrecour had come in from the west with ten thousand spears and five thousand bowmen. The Northerners under Morolt boasted themselves twoscore thousand men, and there were the loyal levies3 of the midland provinces to march under "The Golden Sun" upon the south. Never had such panoply4 of war glittered through the listening woods. Their march was as the onrush of a rippling5 sea; the noise of their trumpets6 as the cry of a tempest over towering trees.
Chivalry, golden champion of beauty, had much to avenge7, much to expurgate. The peasant folk had plunged8 the land into ruin and red war. Castles smoked under the summer sky; the noble dead lay unburied in the high places of pride. To the wolf cry of the people there could be no answer save the hiss9 of the sword. Before the high altar at Lauretia, the King had sworn on relics10 and the Scriptures11, to deal such vengeance12 as should leave the land cowering13 for centuries in terror of his name.
