　She'd ordered them to stop, once, as they approached. Beata Ugg Boots Clearance knew who they were, because Captain Tolbert had instructed her and her squad about the special Ander guard troops, and told them to let the men pass at will if they came by. She'd only wanted to ask them, being fellow soldiers and all, if they needed anything.

　These people who approached, though, were not guard troops. Beata didn't UGG boots clearance know what to make of them, except they had .the look of a serious threat. She could make out hundreds of mounted soldiers in dark uniforms spreading out as they halted.
　Even from a distance, it was a formidable sight.
　Beata glanced to her side, and saw Carine drawing back the striker. Annette seized the shaft to help strike the Dominie Dirtch.
　Beata sprang toward them and caught the shaft of the striker before they could swing it.
　"No order was given! What's UGG Boots Clearance the matter with you? Stand down."

　"But, Sergeant Beata," Annette whined, "they aren't our people. They've no business-"

　"You're both going to stand an extra duty tonight and for .the next week for not following orders. Do you understand?"
　Annette hung her head. Carine saluted, not knowing how she was supposed to react to such discipline. Beata would have been angry at any of her squad trying to wrongly ring the Dominie Dirtch, but deep down inside, she was glad it was the two Haken women, and not one of the Anders.
　On the horizon, UGG Boots Clearance a person on horseback waved a white flag on the end of a pole, or lance. Beata didn't know the distance the Dominie Dutch could kill. Maybe if Carine and Annette had rung it, it wouldn't have harmed the people out there, but after what happened to Turner, she hoped never to see the weapon rung while people were in front of it- unless they clearly were attacking.
