Herald of Steel

Laying his eyes on the flanking force for the first time, Alexander had felt that the flood of men seemed like the open ocean, vast and endless.

The army seemed much more than just ten thousand.

But that initial shock only lasted a while and soon faded as Alexander quickly regained the focus in his eyes.

'Now is not the time to be dazed!' He lightly bit his tongue as he centered himself, trying to get a hold of the situation.

And as he got his bearings, he found the enemy's numbers to be much more manageable.

'Whew! It's a detachment force. Not the main one.' Alexander breathed a sigh of relief.

His biggest fear had been that the force in front of him was just bait and that the real one was just behind.

That would have been a true nightmare as then it would have meant that the enemy outnumbered him almost 2 to 1.

But this much Alexander still felt he could handle.
