Chapter 530 – Uncertainty and Conviction

Barnas Hurrier, contrary to his savage appearance was a man capable of meticulous calculation.

Though he might look like a dog salivating at the sight of a battlefield—and being a wolf beastkin didn’t help with that impression, but inside he was a serpent keeper, harboring dozens of cunning snakes.

When he saw the two knights standing against him, he swiftly made his calculations.

“Victory is mine.”

Why such certainty?

Because Barnas already had a rough estimate of the number of troops Naurillia would send into the Pen-Hanil Mountain Range. Even if every soldier who entered the mountains was a knight, the numbers worked in his favor.It wasn’t that hard to gauge their forces. His side commanded a fairy unit adept at navigating the terrain and they had already employed lures to test their enemies’ reactions.

If their foes had blindly charged into the Pen-Hanil Mountain Range en masse, Barnas would have judged them to be led by a cowardly commander with few knights at their disposal.
