How Can I Still Smile?

'Great General Firentz, but everyone calls him Master Firentz,' Will continued, following Jake's gaze. "He's better known as a Soulmancer than a warrior, but he's especially famous because of his illustrious brother, Grandmaster Lorentz. Still, don't underestimate him. His front is one of the few besides yours where human losses have been kept to a minimum. He's both a competent fighter and an excellent strategist. He's not particularly ambitious or greedy, so his presence alongside Cho Min Ho is hard to explain. Maybe he genuinely believes that a stand-in Soulmancer King is necessary to keep the army's morale up, or that we need to stay united by avoiding internal friction. Whatever the case, unless he's masterfully hidden his true intentions or been meticulously manipulated, he shouldn't be our enemy."

Hmm, so he's testing the waters, just like Radahn, Jake realized as he sized up the robed man once more.
