The city of Varrock was running smoothly, and King Roald was looking over it. He was with his chief of arms, Aragon, discussing how they would get more men recruited into the army, and get it stronger.
"We should post signs across the kingdom, and accept all who come." Aragon said.
"Too easy, how about we send scouts around the kingdom and see how some people fight and have them bring who they think is the best back." King Roald said.
"Good idea. Let's send them as soon as possible." Aragon said.
"Ok, but let's send some of our army with them, we can't take any chances, you know, with all the creatures, monsters, bandits, and other things out there."
"Aye sir. I'll rouse a third of the army and 500 scouts."
Aragon walked toward the soldiers quarters to tell them their mission. King Roald kept watch over the city. The market was running smoothly, children were coming out of there homes to play with the stray dogs, the hunters were coming back for their noon meal, and farmers were coming with their crops.
"Looks like we won't be having any famine soon." King Roald muttered to himself.
He waited about half an hour before Aragon came.
"Sir, they are ready."
"I shall see them off."
He walked with Aragon toward the town square.
"Men," King roald started "you are to set off with these scouts. Three will go with each scout. You will scout out all Misthalin for people to join our army. Good luck."
King Roald and Aragon walked off, as the scouts and the soldiers ran off. None of them noticed the two kids that were spying on them from the alley.
"Do you think they know, Mark?" One of them asked.
"I don't think so, Will" Mark said.
Mark has long, brown hair that looked like it hadn't been combed in years. He wore an iron sword by his side, and had on a torn short sleeved shirt and some long pants. Will has light brown hair, a bronze sword, and a torn tank top and torn shorts.
"Should we tell them?" Will asked.
"Not yet. We have to bring everybody else." Mark said.
They walked off as King Roald and Aragon went into the castle.
