While Ronald's army was far away, another letter arrived from Willabelle. The letter was written as if sent to a relative, but upon careful reading, it contained highly detailed information.
A subtle poison was hidden in every line. At first glance, innocent sentences like, "My journey is taking long, I hope your health is well" screamed the state of my army when examined closely:
"Thirst has become my travel companion," she had written.
This was telling me that my soldiers' wells had become useless.
For instance, she described Ronald's strategy: "Lord Ronald plans to destroy the enemy with a single attack. I believe they will succeed... because the cavalry units are quite strong with their heavy armor."
