18 50 "Fifty guardsmen will see to that".

18 121 I knew that when I entered the palace my presence would be inexplicable to the guardsmen and that I would not long be able to pass myself off as a herald of Pa-Kur, certainly not when it became clear that it was my intention to depart with Marlenus.
Details
10
18 124 Surely I was now beneath the Central Cylinder, and the embattled Marlenus and his men were somewhere above me, sealed off by the guardsmen of Ar.
Details
10
18 146 There was another shout from within, and several more guardsmen rushed to the opening.
Details
10
18 153 Some fifteen tarns were feeding on the remains of a dozen or so guardsmen, detaching and devouring limbs.
Details
10
18 155 There were no living guardsmen in sight.
Details
10
18 158 When I reached that portion of the stairwell adjoining the upper floors, devoted to the private use of the Ubar, I saw some twenty or thirty guardsmen, behind them a barricade of tile and tarn wire which they had erected.
Details
10
18 161 Some of the guardsmen had undoubtedly fought below with the tarns.
Details
10
18 176 Slowly I climbed the remainder of the stairs until I came to the barricade which had been erected by the guardsmen.

19 38 Armed only with ore and the picks that chip the ore from the walls we stormed into the quarters of Whip Slaves and guardsmen, who had scarcely time to seize their weapons.
Details
10
19 54 No! We climbed to the second mine! How terrible those moments for the guards and Whip Slaves, to suddenly see, unchained and irresistible, the avalanche of wrath and vengeance that broke in upon them! Dice and cards and game boards and drinking goblets scattered to the rocky floors of the guard cham...
Details
10
19 55 Cell after cell was emptied of its wretched chained occupants, only to be refilled with shackled guardsmen and Whip Slaves, men who knew that the least sign of resistance would bring only a swift and bloody death.
Details
10
19 83 We will be sought by all the soldiers and guardsmen Tharna can set upon our trail.

10
20 1 The Invisible Barrier In my hand I held a sword, taken from one of the guardsmen in the mines.
Details
10
21 9 One or two guardsmen eyed me curiously.
Details
10
21 18 "Tal," I said to two guardsmen who crouched at the side of a fire, playing Stones, a guessing game in which one person must guess whether the number of stones held in the fist of another is odd or even.
Details
10
21 173 "Shall I call the guardsmen?" he asked.
Details
10
21 175 "Don't call the guardsmen," said Targo, who was now sweating.
Details
10
23 105 Not only slaves of the city raised the banner of defiance but men of low caste, whose brothers or friends had been sent to the mines or used in the Amusements, now dared at last to seize the instruments of their trade and turn on guardsmen and soldiers.
Details
10
23 179 "Guardsmen," I said, drawing my sword.
Details
10
23 188 On the other hand I did not believe the guardsmen would cast their weapons from the wall.
Details
10
24 100 "The soldiers and guardsmen of Tharna are pledged to the Tatrix, but the Tatrix they defend is a traitress.
Details
10
24 110 "The soldiers of Tharna and her guardsmen will forsake the false Tatrix and serve the true Tatrix," I said.
Details
10
25 63 There were three men on the roof, two guardsmen and the man with the wrist straps, who had served as the master of the dungeons of Tharna.
Details
10
25 65 The two guardsmen were fixing a carrying basket to the harness of a large brown-plumaged tarn.
Details
10
25 94 Her voice spoke to the two guardsmen.
Details
10
25 138 Then as if with one voice soldiers, guardsmen and rebels lifted their weapons and saluted Lara as true Tatrix of Tharna.
Details
10
25 142 She looked once more at the rebels and soldiers and guardsmen and Lara with a loathing I could sense behind the impassive mask, and then that metal image turned once more upon me.
Details
10
26 131 The beacon fires are set upon her walls, and I can hear the cry of distant guardsmen that all is well in Tharna.

18 89 The remaining two guardsmen, who had no crossbows, simultaneously whipped out their swords.

19 9 "The streets will be searched," puffed Harold, "—immediately—by all the guardsmen and men-at-arms in the city".
Details
10
20 1 The Keep "By now," said Harold, "guardsmen will have searched the roofs, so it should be safe to proceed across them to our destination".
Details
10
20 61 Now I could see several more guardsmen rushing toward the bridge.
Details
10
20 73 Then there was a horrified cry as one rope was cut and the flooring of the bridge suddenly pitched, throwing several of the guardsmen to the ground below.
Details
10
20 75 I struck again and the other rope burst from my stroke and the bridge swung rapidly back against the wall of the building opposite with a clatter of sticks and cries, knocking the remaining, clinging guardsmen from it, dropping them like wood senseless to the foot of the wall.
Details
10
21 153 Dina and myself attracted little attention from guardsmen or men-at-arms.
Details
10
21 156 Once two guardsmen came to the shop, searching it as I expect most other structures in the city were searched.
Details
10
21 276 "My name," he said, "is Harold—of the Tuchuks!" There was now screaming on the walls, the rushing of guardsmen toward the wagon.
Details
10
22 8 The city was largely without leadership, though here and there brave Turians had gathered guardsmen and men-at-arms and determined civilians and sealed off streets, forming fortresses within the city against the invaders.
Details
10
22 9 The compound of the House of Saphrar, however, had not fallen, protected by its numerous guardsmen and its high walls, nor had the tower elsewhere that sheltered the tarn cots and warriors of Ha-Keel, the mercenary from Port Kar.
Details
10
24 66 Ha-Keel had, we estimated, most of a thousand tarnsmen still with him, plus many Turian guardsmen.

10 1 To the Pens We had soon passed through the two doors, the first being locked behind us by one of the white-gowned women, the second by the two guardsmen.
Details
10
13 5 It seemed she had vanished from the central cylinder, in those portions of it devoted to the private quarters of the Administrator and his family and closer associates, almost under the very noses of Taurentian guardsmen.
Details
10
13 221 And, instead of racing, many were discussing the case of the daughter of the Hinrabian Administrator, speculating on her whereabouts, arguing about how the abduction, if abduction it was, could possibly have taken place within earshot of dozens of Taurentian guardsmen.
Details
10
23 72 The door burst open and five men entered, Cernus, wild-eyed, suddenly haggard, and behind him Philemon, of the Caste of Scribes, the man who had commanded the fifty tarnsmen who had ridden against me in the Stadium of Tarns, and two Taurentian guardsmen.
Details
10
23 75 "Kill him!" cried Cernus to the man who had ridden against me, a Taurentian, and to the other two Taurentians, guardsmen.

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
12 832 Perhaps, discovering she was free, unbranded, her captor would angrily rectify that omission and soon return her, stripped, bound and helpless, to the very bridge from which she had been captured, that guardsmen might find her there and remand her into custody, that she might become then a despised ...
Details
10
18 110 She was free only a few hours, however, for, as an unescorted free woman, guardsmen swiftly went to her protection, prepared to help her safely home.
Details
10
18 114 The free woman, then, as the guardsmen looked away, tore down her robes to the shoulder, revealing the collar, which bore, of course, the name of her master.
Details
10
18 126 Once, when a tarnsman snapped by, pursued by guardsmen, mounted, too, on tarns, she had torn the veils from her face and, boldly, supplicatingly, had lifted her robes, revealing her left thigh to the hip.
Details
10
20 8 Four guardsmen, too, were there.
Details
10
20 10 They were handsome guardsmen, and I was a slave girl.

2 67 The girl tried to step forward but the shafts of two spears, wielded by her flanking guardsmen, barred her way.

2 176 The girl watched, horrified, as one of the guardsmen took the clothing and, piece by piece, threw it into a wide copper bowl of burning coals.
Details
10
3 244 Behind him were two guardsmen, with whips.

10
3 1328 She had been the slave who had followed me earlier in the day, who had bitten at my sleeve near the puppet theater, whom I had saved from a beating by the guardsmen under the aegis of the officer of the fair's merchant staff.

10
4 313 "Kill him! Kill him!" Guardsmen at the stage's edge, with shields, buffeted back a man who, with drawn knife, had tried to climb to the level where sat the table of the game.
Details
10
4 329 Guardsmen, with spear butts and cruel shield rims, forced back two more men from the stage's edge.

5 125 Other guardsmen appeared.

5 140 "Yes," said one of the guardsmen.
Details
10
5 145 "He will not get past us," said one of the guardsmen.
Details
10
6 436 "A girl, and four guardsmen?" I asked.
Details
10
6 468 "She will summon her guardsmen," I said, "and you will be finished".
Details
10
6 471 She will pull away from her guardsmen to be first to the quarry".
Details
10
6 573 In the distance I could see the four guardsmen, moving swiftly, trying to catch up with the girl who had broken away from them in the rash vanity of her hunt, desiring to be first upon the prize.
Details
10
6 578 In a few moments the four guardsmen, distraught, reined up beside my furs.

10
9 135 That it had been accomplished by men, with simple tools, said much for the determination of the Kurii, and the rigors imposed upon its laborers by their guardsmen.
Details
10
9 140 Some four guardsmen came to her, running.
Details
10
9 323 Then she said to guardsmen who stood about.
Details
10
10 307 "You are pinned with the wall on one side, the guardsmen who may be swiftly marshaled on the other".
Details
10
10 348 Hurrying toward us we could now see some forty or fifty guardsmen, weapons at the ready.
Details
10
10 372 "Kill him!" I heard the chief of those guardsmen say.
Details
10
10 383 The guardsmen broke and fled.
Details
10
11 5 Several guardsmen, too, their discipline broken, had sought supplies and fled south.
Details
10
11 47 The men and guardsmen who had been at the wall's center, in the buildings there, and west along the wall, including the hunters at that termination of the structure, learning the breaking of the wall and the freeing and arming of many laborers, had for the most part fled.

3 65 I was more alert to the fact that, moments before, two guardsmen had passed.
Details
10
3 66 The rounds of guardsmen are generally randomized, usually by the tossing of coins, different combinations corresponding to different schedulings.
Details
10
3 67 One of the most practical strategies for those who would avoid guardsmen, of course, is to follow them in their rounds.
Details
10
3 155 They would wait, thus, for the guardsmen.

10
4 123 One of the guardsmen opened her mouth, not gently, and retrieved the coin, a rather large one, a tarsk bit.
Details
10
4 196 The praetor turned to two guardsmen.
Details
10
4 199 Two guardsmen left immediately.

4 236 Then two guardsmen held the fellow by the arms.

4 237 "He is strong," said one of the guardsmen.

10
4 256 "Is the binding fiber on their wrists from their original bonds, as you found them?" asked the praetor of one of the guardsmen.
Details
10
4 354 Guardsmen, I was certain, would examine such possibilities systematically.

22 11 "Where are the guardsmen of Ar's Station?" There were several guardsmen, from each of these towns, in Victoria.
Details
10
5 20 Rather guardsmen had encouraged me to leave the town with alacrity.
Details

6 9 Outside the barnlike structure I was stopped by two guardsmen.
Details
10
6 15 This had not been the first time, incidentally, that guardsmen had suggested that I leave a town.

8 10 In Victoria I was confident I would encounter no guardsmen who, at the behest of honest folk, might encourage me to take my leave at an early convenience.

15 9 The sleen, I had little doubt, had been able to detect my approach, and had led the guardsmen to my vicinity.
Details
10
30 145 I could not leave the city and, if I remained within it, it seemed obvious that I must be apprehended, if not by the sleen then by free citizens, probably guardsmen.
Details
10
30 153 By morning guardsmen would be alerted to be on the lookout for me.

30 156 This is supposedly to make it easier for them to flee from guardsmen.
