Kellman strongly agreed with Howard's suggestion.
The ability to make such a calm judgment under these circumstances indicated that Howard was not lying about being a magus and had indeed seen many battles.
However, to the squad leader, Howard's words seemed like an act of cowardice.
The disappearance of the Lionheart Mercenaries suggested to him that they had been severely weakened.
As for the absence of their corpses, it was highly probable, in his view, that they had taken their dead comrades with them.
Pursuing them now seemed like an excellent opportunity to achieve a significant victory.
Howard, however, had pondered this.
It was unlikely that the Lionheart Mercenaries would bother to carry away their dead.
According to the tavern keeper, they were cold-blooded killers; why would they care for the bodies of their comrades?
