Herald of Steel

Alexander's plan would leave the 2nd all alone for a while as the 5th legion would be moved away, putting the former in a highly dangerous situation.


For, at least, the 3rd legion would be able to request help from the crossbowmen on its right flank.


But the 2nd legion would have none of that. 


And that was also why Alexander put his best of the best, the creme de the creme in there, and even put a council member in there to inspire the soldiers.


And he finished the battle plan with the words, "This battle will not be easy. But then again, battles are always won through hardship. Strive hard my commanders."


"Yes my lord!" Came the chorus which also signaled the end of the meeting and each of the commanders soon assumed their positions. 


While Alexander rode to the front of the troops under the clear, sunny, morning sun, ready to give his rousing final battle speech.
