As the commander of the Habs Army and a member of the Habs family, Bank did not believe that there was an army in the north that could surpass them.
He originally thought that Edgar's letter was just an illusion caused by Lorne's defeat of John.
But after actually seeing it, the legion commander began to believe that his son was not exaggerating.
A normal march would take three days, but it took the Fast family only two days to complete it.
Moreover, looking at the weather, even the dinner meal had not arrived, and there was no trace of fatigue on the military appearance.
First of all, this ability to march has been recognized by the legion commander.
After seeing the soldiers of the Fast family at close range, he saw that their movements and expressions were almost carved from the same template.
This is what surprised Bank. .
It was obvious that the force under Lorne, called the Custodes, was an elite force that could immediately go into battle after a forced march.
Being able to do this, it is no exaggeration to say that they are no worse than the Habs Legion.
What's more, in terms of equipment, the weapons and armor purchased from the empire at high prices have exceeded that of the Habsburg Army, which has always used products from its own workshops.
Being able to withstand an attack with several times the strength of John and defeat powerful armies such as the Marco family, Bank no longer attributes all of Lorne's victory to Sophia.
In the North, being strong naturally means identity and status.
Rejoicing that he came out well, Bank drove his horse directly towards Lorne's position.
If Lorn has more such soldiers in his hands, the originally weak defense line of Namu Fortress will become more stable.
Most of the time, Bank is always thinking about how to defend against the orcs' attacks.
But when Bank actually saw Lorne, the legion commander was a little worried about whether Baron Fast could complete his mission.
The reason was naturally that the Lorne he saw was too young.
Especially when he came to Lorne and saw the trimmed beard on Baron Fast's chin.
Without Edgar's introduction, he would have almost thought that Lorne was just a boy who had just grown up.
Although the information he received clearly stated that Lorne was only twenty years old, when he saw Lorne's overly young face, Bank could not hold back his expression of contempt.
Lorne had just arrived and was not yet familiar with Bank's character.
But the look on the legion commander's face fell into Sophia's eyes, and the woman knew exactly what Bank was thinking.
If it were her, if she hadn't had so many entanglements with Lorne, she wouldn't have believed that everything was achieved by the young man in front of her in only three years.
But she had no intention of helping Lorne to save the situation today.
The reason was of course because Lorne rejected the opportunity she had finally fought for.
Evelin's letter also made it very clear that regarding Lorne's idea of solving Midden by himself, the bishop wanted to see how Lorne was going to start.
You must know that the habit of the people in the north is to respect the strong.
Being looked down upon and not knowing how to fight back or finding a way to fight back will definitely make people think that Lorne is nothing more than that.
Not only Sophia, but also many people traveling with Bank noticed the expression on the legion commander's face inadvertently.
Being used to fighting orcs in the border grasslands, Bank would not deliberately hide his emotions.
And Lorne was indeed as Sophia expected.
As the person involved, Baron Fast really didn't realize that he had been underestimated.
Fortunately, before he came, he had already thought of a way to deal with Miden and become famous in the north.
There was no need to change his purpose according to the situation at the scene.
Baron Fast greeted Bank under the introduction of Edgar.
But before the legion commander could make any further moves, in front of everyone, Lorne, who was riding a horse, suddenly made a move.
"Your Excellency, the Legion Commander, is worthy of being the best defensive commander in our northern territory.
According to your arrangements, I believe that the orcs will never be able to cross our defense line.
But is it too passive to simply defend and fully shrink?"
It wasn't a question, but Lorne's words still made Bank's face darken after a long time of recovery.
The nobles who heard clearly what Lorne meant also began to exchange opinions in a low voice.
Sophia, who was close, could clearly hear words such as arrogance and arrogance.
It seems that they all thought that Lorne started to over-inflate after defeating John, but they couldn't blame them.
Even Sophia wanted to crack Lorne's brain, and it was too risky to take the initiative.

Especially in the current situation where the group is leaderless, it is the last word to reduce the number of troops and comprehensively defend and bring down the orcs.
But after seeing that Baron Fast still looked confident, the bishop still did not stand up to smooth things over.
However, Sophia could remain silent, but Bank, who was asked by Lorne, could not acquiesce to Lorne's words.
After a lifetime of fighting against orcs, he knew when to use which strategy.
A young man whose hair had just grown out, the legion commander said with a sneer.
"The Baron still doesn't know how many troops the orcs have gathered."
"Viscount Edgar Hubbs has told me everything, but precisely because the orcs are so large, we have to disrupt their rhythm when they are not prepared.
You don't have to defeat them, but taking the initiative can definitely limit the speed at which they gather.
This will give us more time to reinforce our defenses, and the later the orcs attack, the closer summer will be to us.
With so many green-skinned monsters gathered together, it would be impossible for them to maintain their offensive in the summer.
Given the character of the orcs, once they are frustrated, the troops they have assembled will naturally slowly disperse
.
"
It turned out that he was not going to find the orcs for a decisive battle, but Lorne's strategy of attacking and containing them still failed to gain the approval of others.
Needless to say, why?
Who would accept the mission to die?
But people who usually take the initiative to give such suggestions will usually accept such tasks as if they are looking for death.
Sophia had an unpleasant idea, and sure enough, without giving others time to react, Baron Fast followed and asked for orders.
"I, Lorne Fast, would like to lead people to attack the gathering orcs.
Please allow me, the Legion Commander."
If Lorne was just trying to find fault with himself, Bank vowed to make this ignorant boy look good.
Even if he had agreed to support Anna in front of Sophia, the matter of humiliating him could not be left alone.
But now I heard that Lorne was really willing to lead people into the grassland.
Regardless of whether Baron Fast could succeed in the end, not everyone could achieve this courage.
And once Lorne enters the grassland, he can not only slow down the progress of the orcs' gathering, but also send them first-hand news, which will definitely reduce a lot of burden for Bank.
If Lorne persisted longer, it would not be impossible to find the location of the orcs' main attack
