บท 185: Servant of the Axe, 85 - Siege of the Great Hall, part 1

"More arrows!  More bandages!"  Always more.

"Focus.  What are we doing, right now?"

"Fixing arrows."

"Which are the only things between that mass of idiots and our lives.  Which has priority?"

"Ending the siege by any means available." I said.

"Fix arrows, Rhishi!  Just fix arrows."
