Oerstein's eloquent speech was interrupted by the entrance of Hilude, who cast an apologetic glance at Oerstein before walking to Su Li's side to report something discreetly.
Su Li immediately gestured and said, "Speak directly; with our Marshal, I have no need for secrecy."
"It's a personal matter, my Lord." Hilude didn't insist but explained the delicate reason, then continued, "Our reinforcements have arrived. The garrison on the westernmost side of our territory, near the Dusk Mountain Range, reported that a Knight Order of 1000 people requested entry into the territory."
Su Li raised his head in surprise, confirming with Hilude that he hadn't misheard: "A Knight Order of 1000? Our reinforcements? From where?"
Oerstein also furrowed his brow, unable to fathom where these 1000 reinforcements in the territory came from. Recently, he had been reviewing and counting all conceivable troops for restructuring, making it impossible to overlook such a substantial force!
