The gargoyle continued flying southwest. Brand finally saw a unit of skeleton cavalry weaving through the forest. He didn't know if he had missed others, but this should be a reconnaissance vanguard of a column.

The gargoyle continued moving forward along the valley, exactly as he envisaged. Brand soon found another two battalions - although he couldn't see to which column they belonged, it was certain that during this period, Madara's column commanders were not to be trifled with.
