"You should have accepted peace while you could. Now you will face the wrath of a god."
Once I said that and saw that nobody was moving I turned around and started walking towards the wall of the city. However I hadn't taken twenty steps back toward Kaeron when I heard a sound.
And that sound was not the usual murmur of a nervous army or the metallic coughing of soldiers readjusting their armor. It was something much louder and more distinct. Like a rhythmic roar or a wave. I could also feel the ground shaking.
I looked over my shoulder and saw what I feared: the cavalry had charged.
At the front, I saw Leontes, his blue cape fluttering behind him, leading the charge. At his sides and behind him, dozens of horsemen followed, their spears at the ready and war cries breaking the air. Behind them, the ranks of infantry began to move as well. Slow at first, like a newly formed avalanche, but gaining speed with every second.
