27	44	"They will return to their villages?" I said.	10
27	57	"Too," said Haruki, "villages are sources of wealth.	10
27	85	"You will need a guide, someone to introduce you into villages, someone to speak for you," he said.	10
27	125	We will sometimes rest in selected villages, known to me, where we will be sheltered.	10
30	28	Such images were not infrequently encountered in the islands, but, more commonly, one encountered images of a gentler, more tranquil nature, snow-capped mountains, forests, winding streams, placid villages, and such.	10
30	47	Our practice, until recently, had been to house ourselves in selected villages, some known to Haruki, and some scouted by him, in the daylight Ahn, and then move, again, at night.	10
30	48	To be sure, we had been unable to obtain much intelligence from the villages.	10
30	49	We had finally, after avoiding villages for three days, approached this inn.	10
30	56	* * * "That is a field slave, is it not?" had growled a stout peasant, seemingly a high man in one of the villages at which we had taken shelter.	10
30	110	For example, a daimyo's taxation levied on his subject villages, as noted earlier, was usually done in terms of rice, or, if the village was a fishing village, in terms of dried fish, or such.	10
30	251	* * * After leaving the village in which we feared we had provoked suspicion, and having ample rice, we avoided villages for a time.	10
30	677	There would be less to sell, particularly items of value, in the fortresses, villages, and towns of local daimyos if the daimyos, and most of their officers and Ashigaru, might be absent, not to mention that the approaches to such places would become more hazardous.	10
30	705	Some are likely to be unwilling recruits, in effect, impressed from their villages for various terms of service.	10
31	32	"The villages will be pleased," said another.	10
31	81	"Rice is scarce in the villages?" said Tajima.	10

34	17	"Thus," said Kazumitsu, "the alerting of the villages".	10
37	70	On the other hand, given the intensity and extensiveness of searchings, the broadcast alertings of villages, and such, which would presumably be anticipated, it would be quite possible that he would be captured, and, if captured, would be brought to Lord Yamada, not back at the palace, but here, whe...	10
38	38	"There is much selfishness, and much suspicion, amongst villages.	10
38	77	I wished, of course, to free as many men as possible, both for my own sake, to confuse matters, and make pursuit more difficult, and for theirs, as well, that at least some might make their way back to their villages.	10
38	151	How did you manage it, peasants, and peasants from different villages, suspicious, grasping fellows, wary of men of quality, working together, joining in such a common effort?" "I told them, noble one," said Haruki, "that they were the ox on which the Home Stone rests".	10
40	166	"Because there was no mad sleen at hand?" "Arashi," said Tajima, "is a bandit, a brigand, a villain, and such, but he is also a leader, a firebrand, a hero amongst many in the villages".	10
44	36	"Why should he not fear the cavalry? It lifted the siege, it ruined camps, it shocked troops into disarray, it disrupted supply lines, it burned storehouses, it spread havoc throughout villages, towns, and fortresses of Lord Yamada, it forced the withdrawal of his army, to protect the core of his ho...	10
44	52	"Our villages could be burned or accept the exactions of Lord Yamada.	10
45	209	Certainly Haruki, who has been about, inquiring unobtrusively, diligently, after strangers, after unfamiliar warriors, after any new, unknown master swordsman in local towns and villages, has little word on the matter".	10
45	240	"Is there anything of note, gardener san," asked Tajima, "in the towns and villages?" "I do not think so, noble one," he said.	10
46	305	"And word like fire has swept the roads and fields, the towns and villages, that it has flown".	10
46	355	"For what you have done," said Eito, "slaying Izo, the scourge of a dozen villages, the village itself would not suffice".	10
46	462	"And then, in the end," said Haruki, who had long been silent, "men die, and villages are burned".	10
47	16	Was it not amazing that an allegedly remarkable swordsman should approach through the villages and towns at just such a time? Is that not an astonishing coincidence? And accompanied, as well! Yes, three or four must be available to assure matters.	10
47	245	He reminded me of the professional wrestlers who, with their troops, handlers, and drummers, sometimes visited the local villages and towns.	10
48	67	"You see, great lord," said Tajima, "your villages and towns, your fortresses, your storehouses, even your palace, all these remain in jeopardy".	10
53	67	I would fly relatively low, and relatively slowly for a time, even, now and then, deviating from a direct route, that the nearby towns and villages might note our flight.	10
57	71	This might, of course, be supplemented by deserters from the house of Yamada, new recruitings of Ashigaru from the northern villages, and, possibly, the pledges of hitherto uncommitted daimyos, and even, possibly, those of daimyos who, in the light of recent developments, might withdraw their suppor...	10
59	40	Ashigaru have returned to villages".	10
60	400	Villages will burn, fields will be harvested and drained, our flocks and herds will be taken, our women will be carried away".	10
60	428	"Your crimes are no more," said the shogun, "but now return to your villages".	10
60	437	Return to your villages, and hope that you may be spared".	10
61	40	Peasants returned to their villages; goods and wives returned to their houses and holdings; ornaments and coins were unearthed; fields were tended; palisades were rebuilt; gates were repaired; traders sought customers; and warriors, hungry and barefoot, weary, weapons in their sashes, drifted back t...	10
61	193	The holdings, the palaces and fortresses, the houses and villages, were vulnerable from the air.	10
61	289	The whereabouts of Arashi were not known, but it was rumored he, with a handful of armed fellows, haunted the towns, roads, and villages of the north.	10
61	601	But there are vendors from the local villages, at the end of the wharf, and I wish to purchase small articles".	10

11	15	It seems that the Rencers adopted the peasant bow, a weapon used in peasant villages on the continent to maintain and defend the freedom and sovereignty of the villages.	10
8	556	You can see the villages on the shore.	10
8	684	"And, even if we were willing to risk villages of rapacious peasants, armed with the great bow, we could not reach the shore".	10
10	242	Peasantry north and south of the Vosk, I have been told, their villages divided only by the river, may have accents almost unintelligible to one another.	10
11	9	In the marshes of the delta may be found the scattered, floating villages of the Rencers.	10
11	10	These villages are formed from the interwoven stalks of the rence plant, from which a common form of cheap paper is made.	10
11	11	Fresh rence is added to the surface of the villages, as older, submerged layers deteriorate, break apart, and rot.	10
11	18	Also, it is difficult to attack or retaliate against such villages, as they can be easily moved, being towed to new locations.	10
11	19	Furthermore, these villages are now loosely confederated, a political development traced to a man named Ho-Hak, sometimes referred to as the Ubar of the Marshes.	10

17	430	"And even headmen and high peasants may attend, from dozens of villages, mostly the larger, richer villages".	10
19	200	"Where is he, what has he been doing?" "Contacting peasants, from many villages," I said, "and particularly, as far as possible, headmen, pleading for an end to apathy, for an awareness of the threat they face, particularly the coastal villages".	10
35	64	Currently corsairs are reluctant to strike villages, and, soon, even should they lose their apprehension of a lurking Peasant army, they would, with the likelihood of only modest loot, be likely to face warned, dangerous fighters, recruited perhaps from several adjacent villages.	10
35	135	"We have speculated on the oddity of the corsairs' concern with villages, even prosperous villages," he said, "so large an expenditure of effort for so little gain".	10
35	167	"I had hoped," I said, "that with communication and cooperation amongst the villages, the building and manning of watch towers, the arming of peasants with an effective weapon, that the land would be closed to the raiders, this protecting both villages and towns".	10
48	15	Who could be safe? Who could be sure the storm would not fall upon them? Doubtless probabilities suggested that one's own village would be spared, but what if it were not?

1	158	On the continent, there are thousands of villages, sovereign and proud, prosperous and free, too costly to attack, defended by flights of the birds of death".	10

8	6	The Cove of Harpalos was not heavily trafficked, but it was, in effect, the port by means of which several inland villages, bartering the produce of their gardens and orchards, could reach the sea.	10

9	24	"There are hundreds of villages on the Farther Islands," said Thurnock.	10
9	31	Thus we must think of villages on or near the coast".	10
9	32	"How many such villages are there?" asked Thurnock.	10
9	36	"Many villages," said Clitus, "are situated on or near the coast, or on rivers leading to the coast".	10
9	43	"So," said Thurnock, "if we put aside Thera, how many plausible villages are left, on Chios and Daphna?" "Something like a hundred and twenty," I said.	10
9	51	"How many villages do we now speak of?" asked Clitus.	10
9	52	"By my count, given the map, and limiting myself to villages within ten pasangs of the coast," I said, "sixty-three".	10

23	3	"Cos lulls the villages into a false sense of security," said Thurnock.	10
23	4	"In the towns," said Clitus, "more is known from refugees than in the isolated villages themselves.	10

35	39	"Thanks to Xanthos, and his fellows," said Aktis, "emissaries are contacting and enleaguing villages, carrying messages of pride and resolution, urging vigilance, preparedness, and a common defense".	10

35	62	"The cooperation of such islands with the corsairs, surely enemies, had always been founded on fear, that if they refused to cooperate, their villages would be destroyed.	10
35	166	"Local markets," said Aktis, "but most villages are remote from towns and are substantially independent".	10
36	46	It seems that raids on villages will be suspended, at least for a time".	10
36	135	"If these mercenaries are not mariners and are not intended to be risked against villages, one wonders as to the purpose of their recruitment," I said.	10
36	226	And, I suspected, given the currently limited success of the unified corsair fleet, which could no more scour the seas for victims than could a single ship, and the risks of now attacking villages, that it might be soon.	10

41	77	This overture was refused by Thrasymedes and his council, apparently on two grounds, first, their terror of the supposed Bosk of Port Kar and their awareness of the merciless depredations inflicted in his name on several villages, such as Nicosia on Chios itself, and, second, the accounts of the har...	10

48	22	Too, by this time, the great bow, if only in stealth, was becoming known in the villages.	10
48	23	Had such a weapon not proved its formidable worth at Zeuxis? Might not it do so again?" "Yet," I said, "villages are proud, muchly autonomous, and seldom do they see beyond their own fields".	10
59	32	"Due to the valor and skill of the noble Nicomachos, Admiral of the Fleet of the Farther Islands, all hail to the sublime Lurius of Jad, Ubar of Cos, the fleet of the notorious pirate, Bosk of Port Kar, predator to shipping, burner of villages, ravager of towns and cities, has but recently been surp...	10

63	94	"Villages, united and armed, would give pause not only to raiders but even to the predatory regulars of Cos," said Sakim.	10
