"There are six large villages in Hanrahan Barony," Ashlynn said as she looked from Commander Savis to Commander Tausau and back again. "Some of them sent their knights along with their tithes to Hanrahan town, but others are still defended by capable soldiers and their knights."
"Commander Savis," Ashlynn said after taking a deep breath before she gave the order she was certain the powerful warrior would object to. "Leave the elite soldiers of the second army with Dame Sybyll. She'll need them for the assault on Hanrahan Town. I want you to join with Commander Tausau and his third army of irregulars to seize the villages of Hanrahan Barony."
"All six villages?" Ollie asked before either commander could reply to her. "What about Raek Village? Sir Carwyn is already our prisoner, along with most of the soldiers from his village. It's only defended by his aging father and a few old soldiers who are keeping the watch while he was supposed to be taking their harvest to market."
