Herald of Steel

Upon learning of the 'enemy's defeat', Perseus's men felt their morale surge and the pressure on Menes subsequently increased, threatening to destroy his already fragile lines soon.

Thus in a twisted way, Melodias's victory actually hurt Menes.

And seeing this, Menes truly did not know how to react.

When he had first seen that huge army, like Melodias he too had panicked.

And then seeing how the man's quick thinking was able to destroy an army twice his size and so effortlessly at that, he should have been cheering like crazy.

It was a result that should have been a dream come true.

But somehow, that great result in a twisted way caused great pain for Menes.

And ultimately the fatigued general could do little but hold on, telling his men that Melodias was on his way.
