A LITTLE before two o’clock Trumpkin and the Badger sat with the rest of the creatures at the woods edge looking across at the gleaming line of Miraz’s army which was about two arrow-shots away．In between，a square space of level grass had been staked for the combat．At the two far corners stood Glozelle and Sopespian with drawn swords．At the near corners were Giant Wimbleweather and the Bulgy Bear，who in spite of all their warnings was sucking his paws and looking，to tell the truth，uncommonly silly．To make up for this，Glenstorm on the right of the lists，stock-still except when he stamped a hind hoof occasionally on the turf，looked much more imposing than the Telmarine baron who faced him on the left．Peter had just shaken hands with Edmund and the Doctor，and was now walking down to the combat．It was like the moment before the pistol goes at an important race，but very much worse．
“I wish Aslan had turned up before it came to this，”said Caspian Trumpkin．
“So do I，”said Trufflehunter．“But look behind you．”
“Crows and crockery！”muttered the Dwarf as soon as he had done so．“What are they？ Huge people—beautiful people—like gods and goddesses and giants．Hundreds and thousands of them，closing in behind us．What are they？”
“It’s the Dryads and Hamadryads and Silvans，”said Trufflehunter．“Aslan has waked them．”
“Humph！”said the Dwarf．“That’ll be very useful if the enemy try any treachery．But it won’t help the High King very much if Miraz proves handier with his sword．”
The Badger said nothing，for now Peter and Miraz were entering the lists from opposite ends，both on foot，both in chain shirts，with helmets and shields．They advanced till they were close together．Both bowed and seemed to speak，but it was impossible to hear what they said．Next moment，the two swords flashed in the sunlight．For a second the clash could be heard but it was immediately drowned because both armies began shouting like crowds at a football match．
“Well done，Peter，oh，well done！”shouted Edmund as he saw Miraz reel back a whole pace and a half．“Follow it up，quick！”And Peter did，and for a few seconds it looked as if the fight might be won．But then Miraz pulled himself together—began to make real use of his height and weight“Miraz！ Miraz！ The King！ The King！”came the roar of the Telmarines．Caspian and Edmund grew white with sickening anxiety．
“Peter is taking some dreadful knocks，”said Edmund．
“Hullo！”said Caspian．“What’s happening now？”
