One of the knights carried a banner that billowed in the wind. Its field was deep blue, embroidered with a roaring tiger beneath an emblem of a crossed sword and shield.
Below the emblem, a line was embroidered in the clear script of the continent's common tongue: "Radiant Battle Group—Tiger Battalion, Third Company."
The Radiant Battle Group was one of the three main battle groups under the North Wind Legion's command. Renowned for its formidable combat strength and aggressive tactics, it was the Empire's iron fist on the southern border.
It was leagues beyond Raymond's "motley crew" of the Thirteenth Battle Group.
And its Tiger Battalion was the elite of the elite.
However, to the surprise of many, the leader of this elite company was a strikingly young and beautiful female knight.
