Most of the men look a little daunted at his words, but not the prince. "The red is said to command fire, the white lightning, it would be foolish to battle creatures who can command the elements themselves. The gray is but a beast, not touched by the gods." Clearly, whatever stories he's heard don't have much resemblance to the truth.
"And a beast can be lured into a trap with the right bait and weakened, or taken unaware." The others seem to perk up a bit at the news that they aren't going to be fighting 'fair'.
