Just as a silence had fallen between the two, Tang Mo suddenly broke it by saying, "It seems the war might be about to break out."
Alice was taken aback. The intelligence she had obtained, as well as the situation that Count Fisheo had scouted out, all indicated that the war was likely to break out in the spring, not at the end of autumn.
This completely defied common military wisdom, because if a war were to enter winter, the opposing sides would almost be completely unable to expand their victories.

However, it was quite clear that neither the Leite Kingdom nor the Suthers Kingdom had considered the possibility of waging war in winter over the past half year.
