PART TWO

Omnēs discipulī hās fābulās laudant. Aestāte eī in silvā sunt et mīlitēs sunt. In duās partēs dīvīsī sunt. Ūna pars agmen facit et ad flūmen prōcēdit. Sub colle quīdam ex discipulīs castra pōnunt. Locus nōn est inīquus. Reliquī multās rēs faciunt. Aliī sunt nūntiī, aliī sunt vigilēs. Alia pars discipulōrum est exercitus hostium. Signum datur et hostēs appropinquant. Tēla iaciunt et nūntiōs in omnēs partēs mittunt. Carolus et eius comitēs vāllum celeriter aedificant quod impetūs hostium timent. Post hoc vāllum sē cēlant.
