The ninth and tenth emblem groups consisted of infantrymen, these soldiers were equipped with inferior horses. Even though inferior horses were used, a distance of fifty miles could quickly be covered. Lex was furious, Daniel had ruined her plan.
If Daniel's five-hundred man team was extirpated, then the morale would undoubtedly be affected even if Lex managed to seize Fort Strand.
She could not blame Daniel though. Daniel was originally a small noble who only needed to wait for money to enter his pockets, he would not know how to fight a war. That was why Saleen instructed Gurney to lead the battle. Saleen had deployed the army which was under Daniel's command however. This caused a contradiction.
When Gurney wanted to claim credit, Daniel should have stopped him. Saleen's words had caused Daniel to have misgivings, after all, he was clueless about fighting a war. Since Daniel felt that Gurney made sense, he acceded to Gurney's request.
