The chronicles of Mittland Part 02 Time of the dragons

[Vauban]

Unarmed and in view of the supremacy of the soldiers the three men let themselves be exhausted without resistance. TESSMA, LILIAN and HADOR followed them in a hurry. On the small village square a group of soldiers already stood. They had together-driven all men of the village. These had to set up themselves next to each other in a row.

One after the other the commander of the soldiers paced down the men. When he came to JURAS, he shouted to his soldiers, „are you blind, you boobies? This one has only one leg! What can I do with him?“ Then he pointed to JON, „and here the one is too old! “

[Vauban]

Two of the soldiers pushed JURAS and JON to the women and turned then again to their comrades. Finally the commander came to TURAS. „So, so - a pilgrim. “The commander looked to TURAS in his face, then he tore him with a rapid hand movement the robe from the body. „A young man, largely and with strong arms, as I see. And you want to be a pilgrim? You probably hoped to flee masked as pilgrim before the military service? Captain, respect this one here particularly well! “

The commander terminated his examination. „Men “, he cried over the place, „from now on you have the honour to serve as soldiers our good-natured highestlord ARTRAC! Captain, we go!“ On this command the dragon soldiers set themselves  in motion and drove the young men ago before themselves. After few minutes they had left the village.

The women and the left men looked to their brothers, sons and husbands after. Some of the women cried. They tried to console mutually. „Where do they take the men? “ JURAS wanted to know from JON. „Probable after Talsend. In the town are barracks of the dragons“, this one answered after short considering. „We must follow to them, we won't leave the boy alone “, threw HADOR in.

[Vauban]

„The barracks are well guarded. You can't do something for him “, TESSMA answered. „Nevertheless, we're going immediately after Talsend“, HADOR persisted. JON answered, „take the horses, and follow the boy. But I must warn queen SELLINA before the new attack.“ LILIAN, HADOR and JURAS nodded. Without losing many words, the three went away of TESSMA and JON. They said good-bye and rode after the soldier afterwards Talsend.
