Arthur's group had to face an overwhelming number of enemies with around nine thousand men. However, even though the enemy had more soldiers, Emery doubted they would give the former much trouble, not with a dozen golden knights and a hundred silver knights on his side. That was not even mentioning how Arthur himself was a capable fighter and a worthy leader.
After hearing the news the messenger brought, Emery couldn't stop thinking that Meave had something to do with the situation. Before the battle started, he didn't find any trace of her and unfortunately, he had been focusing too much on sensing and directing his own battle since then.
Thus, he had somehow forgotten about the other party. After all, he couldn't spend too much energy and time to track an enemy that may or may not be there.
Ohh.. no...
