Battle of Sissilpond Ridge (Part-6)

Petretus was Petricuno's favorite son and one who was supposed to succeed him as the leader of the mercenary group after his father's retirement. 

So when the messenger came to him informing him of his son's precarious situation, the first thing Petricuno felt was an intense surge of regret.

But it was not upon hearing his son's predicament.

Instead, it was over the fact that when placing the units in the formation, he had chosen his personal group and even the most elites to be in the position of honor- at the very front, to act as the vanguard. 

The reason back then had of course been so that he could claim credit for defeating Alexander, to be the first units to break the Zanzan lines and gain great wealth and glory for himself. 

Something his men very much appreciated.
