After a battle.
The cavalry forces under Duncan's command grew stronger with each engagement.
Not only that, but his infantry also increased by two or three hundred men, including more than a dozen marked as one-star 'Frankish Elite Axemen,' frontline heavy infantry who first throw a wave of Frankish axes before the battle. The Franks' axemen were even stronger than the Saxon axemen because only the defeated would escape by sea. Over the past few centuries, the Gallic roosters absorbed the heritage of the Empire and the Barbarian Race, making their heavy infantry top-tier, and the Frankish Holy Knights were elite heavy cavalry.

As of now, the Franks were the forefront Barbarians, only second to the formidable Goths.
