Gabriel patiently held the usual questions and nodded quietly to the knights oaths and proceed with rest interviews. Then alchemist turn came and once alchemist had done his question he replied; "Yes, I am in charge of the army and also lot of other things while king is absent. Also indeed guards were tense but they followed their jobs what I gave them perhaps too vigorously, we had been target of a rebel attack recently so guards were just watchful. Anyways take seat and tell what sort alchemy your capable to do and got any own ideas how improve our chances winning the war? I may be follower of Iomedae but I am also knight who studied war strategy as major field of study so I am not blindly placing all bets on hope."
