→The Battle of Narak
|
The parshendi try to immobilize Adolin by lassoing him with ropes but he manages to cut through them and fend them off. The parshendi are engaging Adolin in teams to keep him out of the battle where he’d be the most deadly. When [[Perel]], the man he placed as field commander, calls for the flank’s retreat Adolin guards it in case the Parshendi pursue. Perel tells him neither side is making headway and that he is worried about the singing Parshendi reserves up against a rock formation in the middle of the plateau. Adolin can no longer feel the Thrill which he passes off as just being tired. Adolin remembers what Shallan said about the rock formations being hollow and devises a plan to go through the formation with a battalion. {{book ref|wor|82}}
Adolin and a thousand men go through the crem encrusted building to the wall the Parshendi singers are hiding against. He cuts two holes into the wall for his men to exit through, the first one going unnoticed because of all the chanting and rain but the second was. He charges into the Parshendi and starts cutting them down. He likens it to killing sleeping men and reflects on how attacking ordinary soldiers with shards was doing dirty work. The Parshendi’s expressions of horror haunt him as he cuts them down, feeling nauseated. Though he’s caught unawares by Eshonai and her attack he mentally thanks her for her arrival, glad to have an honest fight on his hands. {{book ref|wor|83}}
