The four nobles who stood between Charles and Sesath had also convened a military council.
At the council, Baron Eckson spoke passionately, asserting that Charles had ten defeats, while the four-noble Allied Army possessed ten victories.
"Viscount Constantine is our hero from the Black Phoenix, and it's absolutely impossible for him to defect to the Farsians!"
"He is lying, slandering, trying to disrupt our resolution to resist to the death."
"Although Charles enjoys some notoriety, he is merely a writer who gained fame through literature. It is said that in Fars, he is just a civilian official dealing with paperwork. His current status is all because he courted Princess Anne. His military achievements are all faked! Can you believe that one man can write, race chariots, compose operas, and battle on the frontlines? Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous."
