Chapter 22: The Line Inside the Gate
The second rank came out of the smoke with their shields already locked.
They had walked in behind the crew while everyone watched the road, and now they stood between Durn's inner line and the gate stone.
The young forge defender at the end of Pluto's line checked Voss again before he moved.
Aquas saw it. He did not call it out.
Durn was shouting at the crew to hold, and her axe was up, and she had not seen the seam.
Aquas caught the haft of her axe and turned the head of it toward the gap opening beside the locked shields.
Durn stopped shouting. She followed the axe head with her eyes.
'There,' Aquas said.
'That's a shield wall,' Durn said.
'It's a shield wall with a bend in it,' Aquas said. 'The man on the left keeps waiting for a nod.'
