A very good plotline, TG, well worth being proud of. This could use a bit of touch up, is all.

First, run a spell and grammar check...this should catch the glaring stuff (like "Clothe," that's the verb. You just want cloth). Otherwise, just read over bits and see what flows; a couple places (particularly when you first mentioned the cheiftains on a hill) the action flows faster than the words and it becomes confusing who is doing what, and what's already been done.

Finally, I'd suggest you rework some of the story to shift the action from after-battle summary to real-time desciption: show those boys defending their mothers and Ant. running back to the stable just in time, don't just sum it up after you give away the ending. Make the reader wonder for a bit, and look forward to the conclusion!
