20 And he did send his vessels of war also, which were useful things and ready for the fray. And of men that did fly in the air, he sent also of these, an eager band and valiant.
21 Neither was he backward in the matter of food, making due provision in all things. And he did set him about it for to build him an army, a mighty host such as never before was seen. And he rested him not, neither in the day nor in the night did he rest him, doing always those things that were requisite for the undertaking.
22 And when word was brought unto Willi that Wudro, he had taken the coat from off his back, and that he was labouring without any respite, he grew sore afraid, and he did shake all over with the violence of the tremble of his knees.
23 And when he was recovered by a potion of strong drink, he did call the Ministers of State unto his chamber, and he spake unto them, saying, Is there no one now amongst the men of peace that will raise his voice against this bloody war?
24 And, lo, straightway, there was a voice, and it spake concerning peace. And it was blown along by the wind, even unto the land of Amer was it blown.
25 And when it was come unto the ears of Wudro, that was the son of Wyl, he made answer unto it, and he did say, Verily, it hath a goodly sound. Nevertheless, this peace, it shall not come to pass, for the king of Hu, he hath a lying tongue, and his plighted word, hath he not broken it before?
26 And because he is what he is, therefore shall the compact of peace be made only with that man which he is not.
27 And the words of Wudro, they were blown along by the wind, even back from the land of Amer were they blown on the wings of the wind.
