"Excellent," Belboz said. "Then we have won a victory, even if only a
small one. Now that our enemy's morale may have been reduced a little,
this would therefore be the best time for Joan to fight her counterpart.
Since the other me probably will probably have wards in place to counter
any attempt at magic transportation into their camp, Ecstasy had better
fly her in."
"But surely that would be suicidal," Embron objected. "Their archers will just shoot Joan and Ecstasy down even before they land." "No. It will be obvious to them that Joan is our Champion. Arthema won't dare to order her warriors to harm her. That would suggest that she was not confident of the outcome of the battle between her Champion and ours, and her troops would revolt." "But wearing that armour, won't Joan be too heavy for Ecstasy to carry?" Jastina asked. "It seems remarkably light," Joan observed. "And so it should," Belboz replied. "It's not just any old armour, but has been bespelled to reduce its weight. Of course, their Champion is likely to have something very similar." "Even assuming that Arthema and her followers will abide by the 'rules', can we rely on the other Belboz to do so?" Uxton asked.
