Lord Ponticus's Counter-Attack (Part-4)

The next two hours went in a blurry wind of speed, as both sides worked quickly to try and finish organizing their troops as soon as possible.

And by the end of the time, both sides were finished relatively at the same time.

Tibias had their troops directed toward the south, squarely facing Alexander's camp, and conversely, Alexander's men were turned looking northwest, directly looking at the enemy.

While the detached legion under Remus faced west, able to keep an eye on both camps.

Thus three groups formed a kind of triangle of forces.

And then, once they finished, the boring waiting game began.

Because it seemed neither side wanted to attack, much preferring to let the enemy waste their enemy coming towards them.

"Tell the soldiers to hold the ground. I do not want to fight uphill at night!" On Alxx's side, this was the order.

And the tactic was a no-brainer, given the poor visibility at night and as Alxx was on lower slopes.
