Alexander VS Lord Ponticus (Part-3)

Chapter 712

Following Piseus's mad dash towards Lord Ponticus's flanks with just 300 riders, the other officers to their credit did not simply stand back and watch the show.

No, instead, perhaps inspired by the young boy's agency, they too came around to see the danger they would be in if they did not save their lord and so hurriedly began to gather their troops and form up to initiate a march.

"All infantry form and get ready to march. Crossbowmen stay and guard the walls." 

Then came the order for the men.

This way the officers felt that both the task of attacking the flanking force and defending the siege works could be achieved.

But planning all this out, as well as the initial bickering had wasted a lot of time for them

*Trumpet*

So by the time they got finally ready to march downward, Lord Ponticus had already blown the trumpet and was half away along his attack.
