We wasted no time in talk as we knew that the warriors would surely return as soon as they had gained control of their mounts. Hastening to his damaged machine we were bending every effort to finish the needed repairs and had almost completed them when we saw the two green monsters returning at top speed from opposite sides of us.
Wingrove was still alive: the wretch Su-wa-nee must be near? "Carajo!" again yelled the savage. "What promised you the Red-Hand? To cut the living flesh from your bones? But no that would be merciful. The Arapahoes have contrived a sweeter vengeance one that will appease the spirits of our slain warriors. We shall combine sport with the sacrifice of the pale-faced dogs ha, ha, ha!"
"Stop him!" cried King Gos, running after. But the goat was now so wild and excited that it was not safe for anyone to stand in his way. None of the men were armed and when one or two tried to head off the goat, Bilbil sent them sprawling upon the ground.

Returning His Majesty sailed down the river having all the mountains and deserts in his hand. His Majesty went forth against Neharina, where he found that the wretched enemy had set his warriors in battle array.

We can only suppose them to have been rude fortifications, constructed in the centre of the woods, and designed to secure the women, children, and cattle, whilst the warriors of the tribe marched out to repel a sudden invasion.
SOCRATES: And when we had given to each one that single employment and particular art which was suited to his nature, we spoke of those who were intended to be our warriors, and said that they were to be guardians of the city against attacks from within as well as from without, and to have no other employment; they were to be merciful in judging their subjects, of whom they were by nature friends, but fierce to their enemies, when they came across them in battle.
I don't think our rock fortress can now be more than ten miles away and we can't afford to bring the warriors down on it." Shif'less Sol nodded. They kept very near to the creek and he noticed suddenly that the current was shallowing, and had grown much swifter. He inferred that rapids were ahead, but this was surely the place to cross, and he called Henry's attention to it.
But Lu-don could still use him and so he let him live and sent word to him to come to A-lur with all his warriors, for it was rumored that Ja-don was raising a great army in the north and might soon march upon the City of Light. Obergatz thoroughly enjoyed being a god.
