Ruby says "So, the plan now is to ambush smaller groups?"
"Yeah, when Mericel catches up we will know what they are doing and plan accordingly."
Ruby says "We are just buying time until morning right?"
"Well, I also want to kill as many soldiers as I can. Weakening the king's forces is a bonus, besides it is good experience for us."
Mericel says "Master! I'm back."
"Welcome back, Mericel, what are they up to?"
Mericel says "They split into groups of one hundred and moved into the grass after you."
"Alright, lead us to the southernmost group."
Ruby says "Why the southernmost?"
"Because, that will draw the rest of them further away from the girls."
Ruby says "Oh, I see. Smart!"
"Thank you."
Mericel says "Okay, this way."
