Gwydion smiled.
"Okay, well until tomorrow then. I only want 500 men with me. That will be my division. I am going to go talk with them."
Gwydion turned and picked out a group of men which equaled 500 and led them out to the courtyard. Rain was pouring down everywhere but the men stood in their rows and stood at attention. Gwydion liked these men, they were diligent and did what you said without question.
"Listen to me. I will lead you into battle, but before we do that I want you to each have your own horse, bow and twenty arrows, at least! You will have a sword, spear, and two daggers. There is no such thing as having too many weapons in battle, unless you can't walk with all of them. Go and make ready, you are my elite and I will have you elite by tomorrow!"

Ragoth looked upon the mna talking to the troops. He would have been down there if he did not have to plan for this battle. 15,000 orcs is a lot.
" HEY! They wont need horses! None of you will! The gate is to small for you to pour through and plow them down! Besides! There isnt enough room down there!" yelled Ragoth

Gwydion grew a annoyed, sarcastic look on his face as he turned.
"Hmmm...these troops were given to me to command right? Yes! I am in command of these troops therefore I can order them as I like right? Yes! If I believe that there are going to be a need of horses, I may say so, right? YES!"
Gwydion turned back to his troops with a puzzled look on his face. He was about to speak when he stopped...a few seconds later he decided to talk in almost a whisper.
"Okay boys, no horses, but we will still run through there as if we WERE on horses right?"
His last word was echoed through his troops like a mantra of some sort, making Gwydion smile.

"No thank you, we shall be quite fine. These men prefer ground to horsback, but thank you for offering!"

"I am!" Gwy replied, he then began to train his troops and give them various orders and commands that he might use in battle.

Gwydion walked into the inn that night, he was tired and was completely ready for good night's sleep. War was fun...but for a while, sleep was very nice and Gwydion believed that with his whole heart.
"Sir, I believe you were serving in the Ristop army so there is no charge for your stay." the innkeeper said.
"Good...at least there is some bonus to workin' with these guys." Gwydion chuckled to himself as he trudged up the stairs. He found the room in which he had stayed in the night before and collapsed onto the bed. Kicking off his shoes, taking off his jacket and yawning all at the same time had almost became a tradition for Gwydion when he was preparing for sleep. Then, in less than a minute Gwydion had fallen fast asleep.

Ragoth, returning to his palace, gave one final order to his men just before he fell asleep.
" Go find Gwy in the morning and tell him I want to see him about 5 o clockl in the inn. " he said as he fell asleep.
