"…know your enemy first."
Lucas nodded obediently.
Silvara narrowed her eyes slightly.
"And what do you know about Aldric?"
Lucas answered immediately.
"Nothing."
Silvara let out a long exhale, clearly irritated.
"Fine. Listen." She looked straight at Lucas, her voice steady and technical.
"Aldric comes from the Rosevelt family. The Rosevelt lineage is known for sword techniques that rely on extreme speed."
Geralt and Anya straightened reflexively. Even they knew that reputation.
Silvara continued without pause.
"Their swordsmanship relies on acceleration and light momentum. They thrust and slash before the enemy can even react. But—"
She raised one finger.
"—their weakness is mass pressure. Quick strikes are useless if stopped by a heavier, more weighted swing. To break through their guard, you need an attack with maximum weight transfer."
Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly.
"So… brute force?"
"Not just brute." Silvara shook her head.
