The army in all consisted of 182,000 men and 5,000 amazons. The
amazons were dressed similar to the priests of Egyplosis--that is, in
pale brown soft-leather tights, high boots emblazoned with scales of
white metal, heavy spider-silk tunics, ornamented with beautiful
embroidery and held close to the figure by a belt. The knapsack held
the magnic cell, dynamo and wings, and also furnished the current for
their spears.
As each wayleal required ample space for the movement of his or her
wings, it will be seen that each living globe was of immense size, and
the entire army became of enormous proportions as it lay stretched
upon the air. I assumed supreme command as commander-in-chief, with
Flathootly as special aide-de-camp, and gave orders for each globe to
double up its wayleals, so that in each case there would be two
globes, the outer or fighting force and the interior or reserve force.
In the centre of each living shell was placed the commissariat
department and the medical, musical and commanding staffs.
The death of Lyone had been kept a secret. The bands of each army
began to play the "March of Lyone," and at the word of command the
vast-flying mass of armed men moved grandly forward to Calnogor.
