Yes, any common man would think that defending behind a wall is easier, see Joric, look around you! Don't you realise the walls are built for the men to defend, not dwarves! We have trouble even trying to climb the humongous steps that lead up the wall because it's made for human not dwarves. Besides, we have never trained or fought together with the white knights that much before. The reality is we are not an army like the ones in Keldagrim, we are just guards. There's only forty of us, I need more of our people.
I'll gladly take them on if it's in the mine!
said Captain as he pounced his hand on the wooden table in the inn.
Captain saw Joric hopped off his chair and made his way to the door, saying he will go to Ice Mountain, probably ask Sir Amik too,
Where are you going? It's suicide. The black knights have the vantage point in Ice Mountain, you are waiting to be slaughtered if you attack them head on from the bottom of the hill. It's the basic military law, that's why I'm the Captain. I know Sir Amik, he will not sacrifice his knights to go anywhere with you, he has a lot to defend here. By the way, he doesn't care what his people think and say of him, as long as he has control, and having his knights with him in the castle is the best way to maintain that. I thought you'd have already known that by now. Besides, defending behind the walls are better, why are you going to the Ice Mountain?
Captain Hovrec Brewborn tried to pull Joric back, he respected him a lot, for they had known each other for a long time.
Alright brother, come back here. I don't have to go just yet. For you, I will get an audience with Sir Amik now. Come with me. Let's head to the city square and demand him. We will see together what he will say.
Captain Hovrec Brewborn led two of his guards and left to Rising Sun Inn with Joric to walk towards the castle.
