"It's incredibly reassuring that the Marquis sent you, Sir."
"With the young lady here, helping is only natural. We want to show the future crown princess that House Offenburg is never stingy with its support."
I wasn't sure if the girl in white would appreciate the Marquis's noble intentions, but it certainly made an impression on me. With our forces weakened by repeated battles, reinforcements of some 300 cavalry were like rain after a drought.
I'd heard that the Western Lords' Army stationed at Rosenheim had marched south and finally clashed with the southern rebel forces, but all I had was the news itself. I was dying to know more, but right now, I had to deal with the detachment in Euz first.
On our way to Euz, I shared with Benjamin the intelligence on the enemy we'd be facing. He had only known about Count Baschurten's betrayal and had come to reinforce the deteriorating southern front.
"You're saying the Count of Basel, who should be in the south, is north of Euz?"
