Battle For Phyrros Island (Part-1)

It was amidst such leisurely recreations that Alexander finally received correspondence from Lord Janus through a messenger bird, letting them know of his close proximity.

And Alexander breathed a huge sigh of relief, as he recalled the promise of 5,000 men made by Lady Miranda, their imminent arrival setting his heart at ease.

However, before Alexander could get to celebrating, like it had happened many times before, he was hit with a dilemma.

And that was that, Lord Janus's ship could not enter either of the harbors without Alexander taking control of the Phyrros Island.

This island was a small bit of land situated perhaps not more than 200 hundred meters from the mainland, and so sat right at the very center of the harbor, around the mouth.

It used to have a lighthouse and a military garrison, but after the tsunami a few years ago, all of that got demolished and was now mostly abandoned.
