The most important thing was that the morale of this division was very high.
As the soldiers were mostly young men, the entire division was brimming with youthful energy. Coupled with the day-to-day education and propaganda from the army, the soldiers had become extremely bold and fierce, eager to enter the battlefield and establish their merits soon. They believed that the Elves were barbaric, incommunicable heretics—they desecrated the gods, committed arson and murder, and perpetrated all forms of evil. They trusted that the Charlemagne Army had talented commanders, and that their government and people were their stalwart support. This war was not just about defending the nation, but also a crusade against the Pointed-Eared Heretics who trampled on their soil.
