<strong>"You needn't worry about more Silesian deserters teaming up with bandits, I assure you. I have it on good authority that the Alaqant army is no more than a day or two away from moving troops through the area. You can petition them to leave some professional soldiers behind to protect you and help mop up any remaining bandits. Won't that be better than relying on some wanderers like us?"</strong><br/><br/>Oho, so THAT was Alice's plan. Pretty clever of the noblewoman, attempting to kill two birds with one fireball like that. Now, if only it would work!
