On a dirt path the sound of hooves hitting the ground can be heard as 4 Men on horseback ride down the path, leading from the front is a young and tall man who looks to be 187 cm he had slight facial hair on his young face to his side is a man looking in his early 20s with a small beard most likely 23 looking to be 172 cm which is average for his culture, to his left his a very young man looking in his teen between 14-18 who stood at 170 smaller than most men but taller than his lot his age, and in the back is a man looking to be in his mid 20s he stood at 174 cm taller than the average. "Commander' said one of these men which the leader looked at him "Yes?" said the tall man. 

"We are almost there! 2 mins and we will see a clearing a small village and then a Stronghold" the leader nodded to this "What will we do when we meet the chieftain?" said the very young man, the leader spoke up "We will greet him and sees if his King needs Mercs" the young man looked up at him "That's smart Commander" the young man was always a undying follower of the leader Wulfwald, the 4 men came upon an opening, which had a village and a small Hill fort 

The Men of Wulfwald, rode into the Village which had small houses and behind them small farms, the villagers looked unfazed at Wulfwald and his men, some men with spears rushed out of a small barracks outside of the Hill fort one of the men shouted a odd language at him, "Huh" said Wulfwald as he looked confused at his men, "Do you speak that Barbaric shet?" said Wulfwald one of his men the one who goes by Eadberht spoke up "I do my father taught me" Eadberht looked at the Spear man and said "Beth" the man spoke up again.

"Pwy wyt ti?" said the guard, "What did he say?" asked Wulfwald, Eadberht looked at him and said "Who are you?' Wulfwald nodded and said "Tell him we're sell swords" Eadberht nodded and said " Rydym yn gwerthu cleddyfau" the guard put his spear down by him, he yelled something in his native tongue and the guards in the Hill Fort opened the gate which Wulfwald and his men rode into.
