[h3]---ONE WEEK LATER, EN ROUTE TO FORT DAELANTINE---[/h3] Fanilly led a detachment of knights to Fort Daelantine after receiving an ominous plea for aid. Jarde found it a bit suspicious that they specifically asked for the Iron Rose Knights to help. Then again, the order is renowned so it was probably the go-to group for any sort of help. The small regiment was getting close to the besieged fort but there were no signs of the enemy or ally or anything for that matter. Something that was noticed by the knights and got them on guard. Jarde rode his horse to the front of the group to meet Fanilly. "Captain Danbalion, permit to scout the area ahead. At the very least, I shall trigger any traps laid out for us." He requested. "I know it might be dangerous but I'm a pretty slippery individual." While he was glad that he was talking to Fanilly, it was not the time to indulge in that. Life and death hung in the balance.
