"No, when we fought against Arbalest, it was Rion who commanded the allied forces of the knights. The most important factor in our victory over Arbalest's army was Rion's ability to plan and execute a strategy. He said that it was the three of us who defeated Pesci, and I don't think it's so strange that Rion's military prowess was the best overall judging from the battle as a whole."
