Meanwhile, just outside Bruma.

Legate Andrenis and his men, having been stationed under the local general, were constantly engaging in training drills. They were eager. It was clear that they were waiting for the actual fray, barely entertained by the false battle.

Skilled ranged combat from horseback, close-quarters weapon clashing and of course, fierce cavalry charges. Even cavalry obstacle courses, in which the mounted horses had to ride through armies of heavily-armed training dummies, trampling them down, and even jumping over flames. Both rider and horse were clearly well trained in the battalion known as the Dragon Lance.

"Those Aureans will be broken easily by the Dragon Lance!" one of the victoring sparring soldiers expressed.

"Don't get cocky!" Sinyad shouted, fiercely, as if an order. "You are a cavalry battalion, so I needn't inform you how unpredictable real forces are, do I? They also respond more fiercely than your punch-pulling sparring partners!"

"Returned, sir." Sinyad was interrupted by his agent as she returned with a dozen of his cavaliers.

"Our scouting was of very little success, sir." Elvira said calmly. "If I didn't know better, I'd say Kyne was conspiring against us. Visibility was void, but I can confirm that the enemy are not within twenty hours yet. No ETA or body count, unfortunately."

"Right. Training for today is done!" Sinyad expressed. "I don't care what you do today, but if you aren't sober by 9 AM tomorrow, I'll have you join the blockade of dummies for tommorow's training!"
