Someone could explain all of this.
And that was Westley Hader!
Luther Carden and the other two would definitely believe him.
Westley did not show himself. He hid in the dark and shot out a paper ball.
Cole Colbie listened to the wind to determine his position. He raised his left hand, his fingers catching the ball of paper, and opened it to see two lines of small characters.
"Return to Preston, the third of next month, the hundred-general meeting, the start of war, the islands of Ludwig, to be recovered!"
The signature was Westley's!
Cole silently finished reading it and handed it to Luther.
Yuri Qualls also saw the contents of the note. His expression was calm as he raised his left hand slightly.
It was a simple gesture but with great impact.
All the soldiers of the third legion of the northern army sheathed their sword in unison.
This action seemed to have been practiced countless times.
