Heeat Soldier's Rescue (Part-2)

With the imminent collapse of the bridge on the horizon, the rescue effort of the Margraves continued with great haste and a flurry of movements, producing a lot of shouts, cheers, and order.

However aborad the decks, instead of a general blossoming of brotherhood and camaraderie at having fought side by side and survived all kinds of perils together, the two factions instead began to develop a deep sense of acrimony and bitterness.

This was because more and more of them found themselves fighting their brethren for the limited space aboard the deck.

These ancient warships were usually topped up with as many men as they could possibly hold, in order to maximize their attacking and defensive prowess, just like how modern ships would be fitted with all their armament before any engagement. 

Thus there was never really a lot of additional room for more men.
