Preparations for the Defense (Part-2)
Cambyses was convinced that if they had listened to her, they would not have needed to even lift a finger to defeat the enemy.
As such Cambyses's lungs jumped up to her throat as it urged its owner to give a diatribe of scalding rebuke, wanting to chastise all the men here for killing 10,000 good men, and perhaps even losing another 3,000 as prisoners.
But she held back…for now.
Because she understood now was not the time to point fingers and be at each other's throats.
That could wait after the threat was over.
It was also because of that same exact reason that Cambyses had not even chided Menes for his loss, even when the giant had publicly apologized to her.
This had happened the very day Menes had returned, in fact, the very moment Menes had entered the city, as Cambyses was there around the gates to see the state of the defeated army with her very own eyes.
