"Lord Manstein's army has breached five vanguard camps at Wendland, and has engaged the Wendland heavy cavalry, and is now retreating northward, and according to intelligence, Wendland has sent a regiment of heavy cavalry of about 100 men in pursuit, with the main force following closely behind.

The reporting soldier pulled the piece of paper from the letter attached to the owl's talon and retold the battle report from the front.

This is the traditional method of communication of the northern rangers, and the owl of this breed can fly from one place to another with precision without any navigation or signage, and until now, it has not been explained by the cause of this phenomenon, but there is no doubt that the soldiers of the northern border of Astel have been using this method to transmit information for hundreds of years.

"About a hundred...... It seems that Wendland is still mainly tempting, and does not use too many troops easily. ”

Viscount Wellington nodded, their original plan did not hope to fish out Wendland's main force with just a few, even if there were only a hundred people, as long as they could attract Wendland's attention, they would have achieved their goal.

"Heavy cavalry of 100 men...... Which force will it be? ”

When Shiloh heard the news, he fell into deep thought.

He knew that the Wendland Eastern Front Regiment was in addition to Horace. In addition to Count Ekrio, there are five viscounts above silver, as for those barons who have just broken through to silver, even Shiloh can't remember the specific number, it can be said that there are many talents, if Shiloh is the commander of Wendland, then he should assign a slightly stronger baron or viscount to lead the army in pursuit.

Lord Manstein has the strength of the silver position, and is good at this kind of high-speed movement in combat, even if he encounters opponents of the same level, he can easily win, Wendland must have seen this, so Shiloh prefers that the bull will send a viscount.

But in the end, it's that reckless Mula. Eric is still quite familiar with Astelle's Galio. Crassus and Shiloh were a little hesitant, their fighting styles were completely different, and the countermeasures that Astel had to take were completely opposite, and Shiloh did not dare to jump to conclusions until there was more information.

"Any more information? As I understand it, Horace. Several of Ekrio's men have different fighting styles, and if they send out a Viscount-level force, then we need to think about countermeasures."

Shiloh asked, thinking about Wendland's train of thought, but he didn't have much of a clue.

"I think it could be that Asterton Gario. Crassus, if Wendland takes a prudent approach, it would be better to choose someone who is familiar with Astelle. ”

Viscount Wellington said that he and Horace. The viscounts under Ekrio didn't fight much, but from the information he received from various rumors, he believed that the most threatening of them was Galio. Crassus, followed by the master tactician, Ize. Vlamy, the rest, he thinks, are reckless and not worth paying too much attention to.

"I think if that Galio. Crassus was really so familiar with Aster, so Wendran would not send him to charge on the front line, after all, this kind of tentative combat has great risks, and the effect of his knowledge on Wendlan should be greater than the benefit of killing enemies on the front line. ”

Princess Ellifils's opinion is different from that of Viscount Wellington, although she did not directly fight against the Eastern Front Army of Wendland, but in the past few days, she has also gained a general understanding of the composition of the enemy's combat strength in the discussions of the viscounts.

“...... Her Royal Highness the Princess has some truth in what she said, so let's take a look at it again. ”

Viscount Wellington smiled bitterly, and just then another herald arrived, with a white snowy owl perched on his arm, two bright yellow eyes staring at the soldier's gloves, and a low chirp in his throat.

The herald took the message off the owl's feet and respectfully handed it to Viscount Wellington.

"This is news from Lord Manstein."

Viscount Wellington recognized the owner of the snowy owl, and in the north, every nobleman in the army had his own owl to carry important messages, and it was this pure white snowy owl that Lord Manstein was from.

“...... He said that the man who led Wendland's pursuit was a knight with a lion on his shoulder armor, and he was very strong. ”

"The Knights of the White Lion, it's Griffith who has come after you. Balmonk !? ”

Shiloh almost screamed.

He should have thought that there had always been a complex power struggle within Wendland, although the speaker Orphin suppressed most of the disagreeing nobles with iron and blood, but even within the speaker's faction, there were different voices, and this was especially evident in the Eastern Front legion.

Horace. Count Ecrio was in his own faction, then Vlamir and Crassus were conservatives, advocating moderate internal affairs and developing domestic affairs, and Eric and Oragiel were another faction, advocating external expansion and military buildup, as for Griffith. Balmonck, on the other hand, did not belong to the two, he belonged to a family of his own, belonged to a discrete aristocracy, plus he was a concubine, and in Wendland, illegitimate children were not welcomed, if it were not for the strength of this Viscount Balmonck, he would not even have the name of nobleman.

In the later stages of the war, he was promoted to gold in strength and died with General Strass in the war, which can be regarded as an untimely death and a huge loss for Wendland, otherwise, according to his growth rate, it is a sure thing to be promoted to legend before the age of thirty.

However, in the original Battle of the Misty Forest, Griffith. Balmonk didn't have much to do, he had a good relationship with Ekrio, so he had always existed as the Earl's personal guard, rarely stepping on the front line, so his strength was also lost, at least, at this stage, Shiloh originally thought that he didn't have the ability to lead troops to fight alone.

However, it seems that it was Wendland's internal struggle that brought the young viscount to the battlefield, and although this change left Shiloh with no good countermeasures to restrain the enemy for a while, at the same time, he also hoped to strangle the genius in the cradle before he could fully grow up.

"Is Mr. Shiloh familiar with this general?"

Princess Elyfils noticed the expression of the young man beside her, so she asked.

"No...... He should be a newcomer, probably because of Wendland's infighting, he was sent to the battlefield......"

Shiloh replied as he pondered the words.

"However, you can't underestimate him, since even Lord Manstein said that he is very strong, then it can be basically concluded that he has the strength of the silver median to the peak, and at the same time, the White Lion Knights led by him should not be underestimated."

"I remember the White Lion Knights as a veteran unit in Wendland, which has fought on the battlefield since the beginning of the country and has made great achievements."

Wellington rubbed his chin and recalled that he had learned much of Wendland's history after the war, but the White Lion Knights' reputation had been known for a long time.

"Yes, this army is one of the three ace legions of Wendland, and it can be called one of the strongest heavy cavalry on the entire continent of Atlas, although it should not be the main force that follows the Eastern Front legion, but with the name of the White Lion Knights alone, we can't take it lightly."

And, Griffith. Balmonck's father, Braavos. The Duke of Balmonk is the current head of the White Lion Knights, so the strength of this little Balmonk should not be underestimated.

Looking out at the misty forest with a flickering fire, Shiloh couldn't help but feel a little more worried about Lord Manstein.
