Perhaps they had sought to arrange an attack there, hoping to duplicate the attack, so fearsomely successful, on the first encampment. - (Rebels of Gor, Chapter 6, Sentence #10)

In the center of the dais, rather toward the back, like a large, patient stone, sat Lord Temmu. I had not seen him since the meeting at which the site of the new encampment had been specified, a specification which I had ignored. I had little doubt that some on the dais, or about, other than those of my command, realized the camp was not at the assigned site. Perhaps they had sought to arrange an attack there, hoping to duplicate the attack, so fearsomely successful, on the first encampment. On the other hand, if they were to draw this to the attention of Lord Temmu, or Lords Nishida and Okimoto, that the new camp was situated other than in its prescribed location, it would be natural to inquire how they had obtained this information, as the specified location was supposedly secret. How had they come to know that the designated site was not occupied? What would have prompted their curiosity? What would have been their motivation in conducting such an inquiry? It was my understanding that, better than two years ago, the forces of Lord Yamada had encroached upon, and intruded into, the regions commonly controlled by Lord Temmu. A defensive war had ensued in which the forces of Lord Temmu, considerably outnumbered and, I fear, poorly generaled, had fared badly. - (Rebels of Gor)
