Nikto drove up to the porch, looking down happily at the stunned friends.
“Does anyone want?” He stretched out his hand towards them, as if inviting to join, the horse continued to dance under him.
“You are mad!” Lis shouted to him. “Get off already! What a show is it?”
But Nikto just laughed in response, and suddenly, striking the steep black sides with all his might, he reared up and, seeing how the servants rushed to the door, involuntarily closing their heads, and dashed in different directions Lis, Karina and Arel, he shouted on unclean some team, the horse galloped down the hill along the marching soldiers, carts and following the host of curious peasants from other villages. The unclean warriors, seeing Nikto galloping towards them, raised their arms with weapons and began to sharply and abruptly raise and lower their swords, shouting a greeting to their white-haired master, and their cry was like a rockfall, sharp and booming.
“I'm not sure if it was worth placing the Unclean right in the house,” Lis said doubtfully, pouring wine for everyone. “We managed to build enough barracks, and they have tents.”
“This is the command staff,” Nikto objected, “my colonels cannot live in barracks with soldiers, these are noble Unclean. They are very cool commanders, Lis. And they came here for you!”
“All right,” Lis humbly raised the goblet. “For your soldiers, Nik!”
“For our soldiers, Lis!” Nikto corrected him. “For good luck!”
They clinked glasses happily, drinking sweet fresh wine from the Arel vineyards.
From the courtyard, the sounds of musical instruments were heard, there, right under the open sky, tables were laid and the newly arrived soldiers were already feasting with might and main and getting to know the local militias and peasant women.
“Will you go to them?” Arel asked Nikto with a little jealousy in his voice.
“No, I wasn't going to. But if you want, we can go and have some fun.”
“We clearly miss Tol,” Lis laughed, “and Vil, these lovers of folk holidays.”
“Well, yes,” Nikto said. “I actually still need to resolve many issues with Ver.”
