"If you don't, I'll just have to give the job to someone else. You hear?" "I hear," said Basom. The war dragged on. In the spring of the following year, over a hundred thousand Invader troops landed on the seacoast a hundred miles from Chromdin and began a march on the capital.
Basom had a tendency to do a sloppy job, and if it had showed up as bruised or poorly planted seedlings, Anketam would have seen to it that Basom got what was coming to him. But the section looked as good as anyone else's, so Anketam said nothing to Basom. Russat had come back after twenty days and reported that there was an awful lot of fuss in Chromdin, but nothing was really developing.
"Madam," he said, "it would be useless for me to apologize for the destructions of war. Apologies are mere words." "They are," said Lady Samas. "None the less, I accept them." "Thank you. I have come to inform you that the Xedii armies formally surrendered near Chromdin early this morning. The war is over." "I'm glad," said Lady Samas. "So am I," said the colonel. "It has not been a pleasant war.
Even so, Anketam's faith in the power of Xedii remained constant. The invading armies were still being held off from Chromdin, weren't they? The capital would not fall, of that he was sure. What Anketam did not and could not know was the fact that the Invaders were growing tired of pussy-footing around. Instead of fighting Xedii on Xedii's terms, the Invaders decided to fight it on their own.
The boy might just take it in his head to do something silly. Russat laughed and shook his head. "No, no. I'm not crazy, and I'm not stupid at least, I think not. No; I got to go up to Chromdin. My Chief is sending word that he's ready to supply goods for the war." Anketam frowned. He'd heard that there might be war, of course.
But somebody had forgotten to tell the Invader general that it rained in that area in the spring and that the mud was like glue. The Invader army bogged down, and, floundering their way toward Chromdin, they found themselves opposed by an army of nearly a hundred thousand Xedii troops under General Jojon, and the invasion came to a standstill at that point.
But war? Why? "How'd it happen?" he asked. Russat sipped at his hot drink before answering. Behind him, Memi moved slowly around the cooker, pretending to be finishing the meal, pretending not to be listening. "Well, I don't have all the information," Russat said, pinching his little short beard between thumb and forefinger. "But I do know that the Chiefs didn't want the embassy in Chromdin."
