Draiss gave her a sour look, and switched to his lecturing tone. "Remember why we are here? To get the elves to help against an ARMY of orcs, ogres, and dragons. We are going to need every freaking body we can throw into that mess, and the undead will fight until they are destroyed. I am not going to let them exist any longer than that battle, but throwing them away before that is letting your prejudices get in the way of survival. There will be farmers, city boys, scholars, and who knows who else on those walls, and if the wall gets breached, even once, that city will fall, and every male will be killed, and the females will, at best, be killed as well. At worst, they will spend the rest of their shortened lives being raped to produce MORE fodder for the next conquest."<br/><br/>He politely stopped, and then nodded. "Fine, I accept your proposal."
