And the ever-present- Barbarians of the Barren Forrest,
All want something from each other.

Herald of Steel

"Send the reinforcements into the center and break through! We will be able to destroy the enemy if the flanks can hold on just a bit long!"

Breaking out of his usual stoicism, Hemicus loudly shouted so to Alexander, his face ruddy and excited.

The man still believed they could win.

And turning to look at the current state of the battlefield, Alexander could indeed see the two legions in the second echelons putting up quite a fight, not letting Perseus through.

They appeared solid for the time being and if Alexander engaged his 2,000 reserves in the center, there indeed was the possibility that he would be able to break Perseus's middle since it seemed to be on its last legs.

And for a few moments, Alexander did truly consider it- to throw the result in this one last roll of the dice and try to win it once and for all.

For thinking like this was not him!
