Alexander's Return
Alluding to the capture of Achillas, Scorpyo paused here to reveal an amused chuckle, strategically building up the tension in Remus.
It was here that he also recalled the absolute chaos the camp was thrown into when they first saw the Margrave's ship, as they thought they were under attack.
Most were very pessimistic about their chance of repelling such a naval invasion given their lack of experience fighting at sea and much more than that, their numerical disadvantage. So many soldiers and servants ran to and fro with little heed to their surroundings, with many even ignoring their officer's orders.
There were even some who assumed that this was it- the end of their campaign and got ready to surrender.
Thus the sudden sight of the white flag came as great a relief to them as a burst of torrential rainfall after a drought, with a lot of them finding it too incredulous.
