When the Huorong Army realized the Blood Knight Army was nearby, the latter was also aware of the former's location.
Between the two armies, a brutal battle had already been started by their scout cavalries even before their main forces engaged each other.
Clearly, the scout cavalry of the Blood Knights held a significant advantage, scattering the Huorong scouts.
Eventually, Count Brugen didn't dare to send out more scouts to probe their surroundings.
In terms of indivdual bravery and small-scale battle coordination, the Huorong Army could hardly match the Blood Knight Army, seasoned through years of fighting with Trolls on the Sky Ice Plain.
Without their scout cavalry, the Huorong Army was virtually blind.
The soldiers knew the enemy is nearby, but they didn't know exactly in which direction, nor could they predict where and when the enemy would suddenly attack.
This fear of the unknown was the most tormenting.
