Redwall Abbey is gearing up with Salamandastron to destroy Sampetra. They will have help from Ruddaring. Think how we can defeat them. Maybe build some secret tunnel? But you have to be quick! They will arrive in two weeks time if the weather stays good.

The vixen was not happy. She had just lost a son to one of the rival house's daughters. Of course, the FoxLaws decreed that she should leave her son to settle down with his new family. On top of that, she had a horribly dangerous mission to complete for Ublaz, mad that he was. All she needed was seven ships and the 'Goodbeast' (As they so laughingly called themselves,) fleet would stand no chance. She had simple plans. They would complicate those of an entire fleet indefinitely.

The Goodbeast fleet was at sail, and clusters of ships kept joining the armada. It was easy to slip in unnoticed while the fleet was greeting the clusters of ships. There were only three or four crewmen per vessel, along with twice the regulation amount of slaves, and all would be needed. Slowly but surely, Bloodrock's vessels were proceeding to the front of the Armada, and got there just as the first gleeful, anticipating shout of 'Land Ahoy!' was heard. They waited until all ships had the order to proceed at ramming speed, then stopped. The slaveloads produce useful, as all seven ships slewed to a halt, side-on to the armada, end-to-end to each other. The ships of the armada tried to stop, but never had the power. As soon as the first hull of one of the seven was craked, colossal explosions rocked the night air and sent huge fireballs blossoming up into the sky. Those ships had been on a suicide mission, and it had worked. Half the armada was burning, the other half hd not been able to stop before hitting the rest. The whole, burning lattice of masts and decks was slowly sinking. Two ships broke free and turned back. From her glass capsule under the keel of Suicide ship three, Crymsone Bloodrock laughed and jettisoned her capsule free. As she drifted along, she saw the name of the ship she was lashed to and her other suicide ships, and they were not those of the Emperors. The killing that had happened on the shores of Salamandastron for these ships! She laughed again.
