Description
Talia stepped forward onto the low rock. She laid out her plan for the battle. Her voice calm and steady. She trusted each of her soldiers deeply. Syda and Noellia would climb the inner monoliths. Noellia on the right near her commander and Syda on the left. Lying flat to conceal their position, they would have their bows at the ready. The moment the Spartans move into the range, they would leap up and take down as many as possible. They were to aim for the unarmored soldiers. The Spartan breastplates could turn an arrow. The moment before the Spartans close to spear length, they will jump down and join the battle. Talia and Calla would stand behind the front rock of the monolith as the Spartans approached. Zythia would appear alone in the center between the rocks. A single Amazon was formidable. A squad of nine Spartans would still be complacent. They would relax, thinking that taking a lone warrior would be easy. Talia continued, "Noellia and Syda. Much depends on your accuracy. They will move fast enough that you will only be able to hit twice. Make those shafts count. Zythia, your penchant for enraging your enemy with your tongue is well known. Today, you must reign your voice. Stand neither haughty nor afraid. Let them approach confident and slow so that your sisters will have enough time to stand and shoot. After that, you may color the air with your insults. Noellia will learn much today, including many new words." The squad laughed. "This is not the greatest challenge Amazons have ever faced. But these Spartans are well trained and strong. They are dangerous. Take nothing for granted. Trust your training and your sisters. Tonight we sing together."
