Falkenhayn's gambit would seem to be paying off. The Svengalians, harried and confused by both the spell and the sudden assault by the Griefswalders, were not prepared for the swift and coordinated attack that followed. The element of surprise gave the Greifswalders an opening that had not been there before.
<span class="mu-i"> ''Falkenhayn seems to know what he's doing.'' </span> Said Ehrenfriend, by now greying in his hair as well. Pointing to the banner with the white falcon on a blue field.
<span class="mu-i"> ''Indeed, though for now we seem to be slowly pushing them, we have not gained any breakthroughs nor have we made any progress; it's past noon already, and I fear that if we are not forthright in our push, they shall withdraw behind the walls of Ullsby.''
"No, things here haven't been going on at the usual pace; it's like we ourselves have become sluggish." </span> Ordinarily, you would have broken through the enemy line now. Was it you? Had both you and your army grown content to sit on your laurels, satiated with your success in the crusade and the Second Order-Greifswalder War?
Things were going your way, yes, but it wasn't going as well as you had hoped. The Svengalians were now finally being pushed to their breaking point, but it had taken a magical hailstorm of javelins by your daughter and the initiative of one of your subordinates.
Still, it would appear that now was the time for things to pick up the pace; the magical attack had started to rout some of the Svengalian troops, which began opening a small gap in the middle of the line.
Perhaps this would be it; perhaps you feared that if things continued this way, the losses you would suffer would be too high for you to continue the campaign in the short term.

>Bring me my Swanknights, my helm, and my lance; I shall force a breakthrough myself.
>Reroute our cavalry reserve through the centre and force a breakthrough that way.
