Hail, Swernmel's men, an Algarvian called in what might have beeneither Forthwegian or Unkerlanter. Even if the local garrison beatback the first Yaninan assault, what then? Mat then? had another significance for Femao, too. MoreAlgarvians pushed forward against its crumbling front, too. You know we have con_cluded a truce with Arpad of Gyongyos, Swernmel.

Pekka blinked, then grinned. Pity we didn't have something like this to protect us whenwe were moving forward against the Algarvians. Like a lot of Forthwegians - maybe even most Forthwegians - he'ddespised them long before the Algarvians overran Forthweg. Half an hour later, he said, Listen to this.
