Lord Ponticus's Counter-Attack (Part-3)

As Thesalie arranged its forces at the foot of the city, Alexander, being as quickly as possible informed of this, also at once ordered his own army to form up outside the camp into proper battle formation to reply to this threat.

And so the camp was very quickly set abuzz with activity, where soldiers ran to and fro carrying weapons and armor, slaves and servants performed all kinds of errands and officers barked orders to get his unit organized.

While the commander of the whole thing, Alexander who oversaw all of this was neither panicked nor fearful at this sudden turn of events, his heart unconcerned by this sudden, what seemed to be imminent night battle.

"Heh! So they finally could not wait!" 

Instead, he smirked mockingly.

To him, it seemed that whoever the commander of the city was had finally lost his nerve, and seeing he was about to attack the next morning, had decided to hastily launch this attack at this odd hour.
