Thirty Men

"History is not like some individual person, which uses men to achieve its ends. History is nothing but the actions of men in pursuit of their ends."

    -    Karl Marx

"Okay! We have rested enough! Let's get moving!" 

The thirty plus men got up carrying their blades and axes in hand clumsily with the support of one another, and carefully prowled out of the battlements heading right towards the tower in the Eastern side of the fortress, where they speculated earlier on that it contains the mechanism to activate the gates. They need to make sure that they have the advantage of surprise at least going after a larger and superior equipped target.
