Martin's Legacy - Chapter 4
I do not own Redwall.
It was a beatiful autumn morning at Redwall, but it was all wasted on Verdagre and his army. The trail was packed full of vermin, trained to slay at a moment's notice. Verdagre's army went in front of Redwall Abbey.
"Give us the Abbey, or we'll kill you all!"
Martin's reply issued forth through the fog. "I don't listen to idle threats, cat. I've killed one and I can kill you too!" Martin then dissappeared into the Abbey. That started the war. Skipper and Lady Amber issued commands urgently.
"Slings away!"
"Archers, fire!" They said their commands with timing so that they could give each other time to reload. Verdagre's army was also smart, getting out of range, then using weapons that would go farther to gain an advantage.
Soon the Redwallers were giving as good as they got. The vermin had grown tired of their slow attack method and had come back up to the front, which let the Redwallers attack and mow the forces down with slingstones and arrows. At noon both of the forces were extremely weary and running out of supplies. Skipper bellowed out to his granddaughters, Mayberry and Catkin. "Hey, mateys, we need more slingstones and arrows now!"
"Wetnose, get us more supplies now."
"Er, er, y-yes Chief!"
Wetnose later returned with nothing but a lot of prickles.
"Er, er, Ch-Chief, I c-c-couldn't find anythin'..."
Verdagre grabbed Wetnose by the ear and threw him on the ground.
"You insolent scum, I'll have you demoted if there's one more mistake! Now get out of here!"
Amber yelled down to Martin from the walltops of Redwall.
"We need assistance, now!"
Martin had an idea. "Dinny, can't you and your team dig a hole out onto the road?"
"Hurr, oi surrpintly can, Marthen."
"Good. Dig a hole into the road out of the range of the enemy fire. All of the mice can use it to ambush them."
"That be's a good oidea, Marthen."
When it was done, they all went through the hole. Verdagre noticed them dissapear from the walls. "I think they surrendered." she said.
Suddenly out of nowhere Martin's forces ambushed them. Verdagre's army was forced to retreat.
"Ha, that showed 'em, matey." said Gonff.
"Hurr, it did!"said Dinny.
"We drove them off this time, but it'll be harder to do that the next time..."
Meanwhile, at Verdagre's campsite, the vermin were licking their wounds, and Verdagre was making a mad scheme to take over Redwall...
Trubbs, Wother, and Ffring were traveling at a nice steady lope.
"I say, chaps, I feel like someone's jolly well following us in this forest, wot?" said Trubbs.
"I second that, old bean." the other two chorused together.
Suddenly they were netted up and pulled into the trees by what looked like tree rats covered in plants and vegetable dye.
"Yeeheehee, dis one good!"
"I should've known! The Painted Ones!"
"Yaharr, dis make a good supper. Heehee!"
