Viktor took the lead because he knew the terrain north of Breisburg better than anyone. And since we'd already worked together in the field, his command as vice commander didn't feel awkward at all.
The enemy cavalry chasing us weren't Imperial Knights but what I assumed to be mercenaries. The Imperial Knights were heavy cavalry on par with the Beren Lance Cavalry, but these pursuers were clearly light cavalry specialized in pursuit.
There were no Imperial Knights among them. They were probably in the rear group.
All that remained were the corpses of the Imperial Knights' vice commander and his men.
We were light cavalry too, but unlike them, we were equipped with cavalry armor, making us slightly slower than dragoon-class light troops. Still, we hadn't been caught thanks to the head start.
