While Zalbaag and Argath marched directly on Ziekden Fortress, Ramza and Delita attempted to breach the rear of the Brigade's lines. At Lenalian Plateau they encountered a Brigade patrol led by Milleuda Folles. They defeated this patrol, killing Milleuda in the process. This enraged the Leader of the Brigade, Wiegraf Folles who was Milleuda's brother. He made a stand against Ramza at the Windmill Hut, but the Northern Sky carried the day, forcing Wiegraf to flee into the mountains. Discovering that Tietra was not at the Windmill Hut, Delita urged Ramza to continue toward the fort, approaching it from behind.
