"Dame Sybyll conquered all of Hanrahan in a single day," Liam said, his voice steady despite the discomfort he felt about pressing this point. "From the Town of Hanrahan to the smallest village, she claimed everything in a matter of hours. She defeated their soldiers, killed or captured their knights along with a force of Templars and the Temple Guard, and established herself as the new Lady of Hanrahan before the sun rose. What's stopping Lady Ashlynn from doing the same to us?"
"We do have several advantages over the Hanrahans," Sir Brennus pointed out, once again playing the role of an oppositional voice, only this time he did it for his lord's heir rather than for Lord Loghlan. "We have more soldiers, more knights, and all of them are better equipped and better trained. The Hanrahans were also taken off guard, unaware of the threat posed by Lady Ashlynn and her forces. Now, thanks to you, we're much better informed."
