"Colonel, please lend me ten men. It would be best if you could lend me a few horses as well."

"What do you need the men for?"

Bard and Field were told about what happened after landing on the island and the agreement with the Herders.

"Go," Field's expression grew heavy. "I'll give you two squads of ten... Be careful, there are still Tanis soldiers outside."
