Charlotte had a habit of sending out scouts. Every day, more than a dozen combat squads patrolled around Dubrovnik, sometimes exploring three or four hundred kilometers away. That was how they had discovered this human Knight Order.
Originally, Dobbin had handled the West Wind Knight Regiment's scouting missions. But Dobbin had now been left far behind the front lines, and the area around the Red Dragon Strait was under orc control. So Charlotte had switched to orc squads, with each one including several West Wind Knight Regiment soldiers. If they encountered orcs, they claimed to be an orc army. If they encountered human troops, they could become the West Wind Knight Regiment.
Speaking of it, this incident made Charlotte rather ashamed.
The scouting squad that encountered the Fars Knight Order had lost every single orc warrior in the very first exchange.
When this Knight Order from the Empire discovered humans among the scouting squad, they assumed they were food captured by the orcs and casually "rescued" them.
After being rescued, those West Wind Knight Regiment soldiers had sprinted back to report this important news.
After questioning the returning scouts a little, Charlotte felt something was off.
This Knight Order had very few members, only several dozen at most. Every one of them rode a horse, making them cavalry—a rarity in the Old Continent. Their combat strength was extraordinarily formidable. The soldiers who escaped back all said the same thing: they saw someone on the enemy side make a move, and then all their orc warriors died. As for how the enemy had done it, they had not seen it at all.
