The Lore Savant
Dennis accepted the handkerchief gratefully and began dabbing at the blood-stained holes in his robes, "Dantalion's suggestion is definitely appealing. I would concur with a slight alteration. We evacuate all the civilians but keep a standing army here to fend off the demons. The castle and its walls are very defensible, especially given that the enemy are only attacking from one direction. I would suggest that Dantalion and some commanding lieutenants see to the escape of the kingdom's residents whilst the north garrison forms up with the south and whatever mercenaries we can muster to aid us in the battle. Of course I will be there to battle Silith again should she decide to lead the fight again." Once he had finished with the handkerchief, he placed it on a nearby torch windowsill as he continued, "If the demons are not defeated here, they will ransack the kingdom for its stores, buildings and armouries, not to mention the royal treasury. I believe our defensive fortress in the mountains was designed for the temporary storage of many people or the indefinite defence of a small army. We would not sustain our people there whilst we rebuilt here in the kingdom." Dennis finished, still in thought over his adaptation of the Djinn's plan. His book had returned to his side and the bloody sword was still in his hand, for he refused to release it and concede the damage he had dealt to Silith. He glanced back up to the King, "Is that acceptable?"
