In fact, from the moment Colonel Skool entered the Iron Peak County military camp, he was attentively observing everything around him.
From the soldiers' clothes, weapons to their mental state, and then to the layout, discipline, and overall perception of the camp, including the quantity, quality, and condition of the horses.

Interestingly, the composition of Winters Montagne's forces is distinctly different from the local troops of the New Reclamation Legion, which mainly consist of infantry.
Under Winters Montagne's command, the troops instead exhibit a distinctly "Paratu style": highly emphasizing mobility and being as lightly equipped as possible; not only do they have cavalry units beyond the standard scale, but even the infantry are assisted by many pack horses and draft horses for transporting personal belongings.
