Boris turned around on his horse to see the people behind him, pulling his binoculars to his eyes. It was just as they had rehearsed in a meeting they had a month ago after the council members decided to touch on how to welcome the prince back.
Behind him about 19 dozen people were spread out, one group of 4 following Boris only a 1 mile behind him, and behind them, about 2 miles behind them was one person mounted on a hill, setting off their flares. The pattern repeated in that order, behind the person on the hill was another group of four following them only a mile behind them and 2 miles behind the person on the hill would be another person, mounted on a hill.
Another flare goes off.
