          “Sire! The Theiyr"reian hoards have attacked the village of Peasantry. The Peasants, they fight back, Sire, but they will surely be overwhelmed. We expect a death toll in the millions, Sire.”

          “Dispatch ten knights to se- wait, ‘millions’? There’s only a few thousand people in that village.”

          “Yes, Sire, we included the Theiyr"reians in our estimates… there’s a lot of them but they fight with wooden swords, Sire.”

          “…”

          “They are an inefficient peoples, Sire.”
