Robson's retreat went smoothly—so smoothly, in fact, that he himself found it a bit incredible.
Initially, Robson and Viscount Di Man had planned to have the Extraordinary Knights cover the rear. It wasn't that the lives of ordinary soldiers were less valuable than those of the Extraordinary Knights—such talk on the battlefield would be rather inhumane.
The main reason was that the Extraordinary Knights generally had better horses and superior riding skills, allowing them to make swift decisions and react quickly.
A group of just over a hundred was a small target with a large impact. They could make decisions faster, and disengaging would be much easier.
But to Robson's surprise, even as his side prepared to retreat, the Beastmen on the opposite side remained completely inactive.
This made Robson a little nervous, and he kept wondering if the enemy had some special scheme in mind. He even delayed for a short while because of it.
