En Césarée Maxime :
The Saxons do indeed keep the lands safe around Cantii and Coritani. However, news from the continent is persistent in saying that a new foe, the Huns, is defeating the German tribes right and left. These savages are thought to be half demon, half horse. Many are afraid of this new threat. Vortigern belays their fears saying horses cannot swim to Britain. He claims the real existential threat are those who can raid Britain every year and that the Saxons will be a good defense against the Irish, continental pirates and Picts. Vortigern insists that it is a small price to pay.
Hengest gets more Saxons to join his force and becomes more and more a trusted advisor, to the chagrin of King Vortigern’s loyal Cymric advisors. And where Hengest is, his daughter is not far behind. In all councils, she attends personally to Vortigern. The concerns that Vortigern is unduly influenced by the Saxons’ advice starts to gather more listeners and the number of Dissidents are slowly growing.
