39 Chapter 39. (1/2)
That same night, in the military camp of Adrinû.
”Kâin, inform!” - Adrinû ordered his second in command.
”Yes, my lord”. - The servant, who had previously received the report of the captains in the front after the battle, answered quickly. - ”According to the report delivered by the captains Yakûl, Ilak and Uikurt the enemy defenses are not something that we can overcome with numbers. In addition, they indicate that the enemy troops are all elites, so this makes it even more difficult. Only today, of the six thousand soldiers you sent, two thousand have died; of the four thousand survivors, about a thousand will no longer be able to fight because of the severity of their injuries; and most of the rest have minor injuries”.
By the time Kâin finished speaking, Adrinû was already very angry. His hands were holding, with all his strength, the armrests of his chair, as if they were the claw of an eagle, and his face was red with rage contained.
”Those captains are incompetent, although I win the battle, if I run out of men, how could I continue my conquests?” - Angry, Adrinû began to babble his thoughts.
”What should we do then, my lord?” - Wanting to distract Adrinû, because if not, he knew that his master could end up paying her with him, Kâin sought new orders from Adrinû.
Even being very intelligent and a great warrior, Adrinû also had a very bad temper, and Kâin who had been following him for many years knew him very well. Therefore, he knew how he had to act in front of Adrinû and what he had to say at every moment to control him.

You could say that Kâin was the best insurance for Adrinû, because if there was no one to control him when Adrinû was in a bad mood, the tribal chief could ruin everything.
”Kâin, send those three incompetents to my store. We will discuss the plan for tomorrow. ” - Already, more relaxed, Adrinû began to order Kâin.
”Yes my lord”. - The servant answered submissively, while making a slight inclination with the head and retired of the store.
...
The sun was beginning to appear on the horizon when the soldiers were beginning to wake up. There was still time until the battle was renewed, so the soldiers devoted themselves to breakfast and to chatting among themselves.
When Aldarion left his shop to observe how his men were doing, he realized how serious his faces were, but this did not worry him, because he also realized that, even though they were very serious, their moral was very high.
The results of the battle of the previous day made them think that it was a victory. And, even true, Aldarion did not want them to trust each other, but when he saw the serious face of his men he realized that this had not happened, so Aldarion relaxed a bit. This showed that they were a true elite.
After having breakfast with his men and seeing that all was well, Aldarion approached the palisade along with Duihir to see the conditions of the battlefield, as well as to watch the enemy camp.
”Dwarf workers are awesome”. - When Aldarion saw the battlefield, he was impressed, because the only traces, that the day before there was a battle, were the piles of corpses that formed dwarves during the night.
