Looking down at the very uneven grounds, Remus cursed at how he could have missed such an obvious fault.
But the answer soon came to him.
The ground was previously obscured by the fighting men from both sides so that when Alexander and the others came up with the plan, they had simply extrapolated what they had seen near the foot of the hills over onto the whole hills.
Needless to say, over time the foot of the hill had been much more smoothed out by tear and wear as well as the general actions of the people living around it.
Thus, seeing the upper terrain for the first time, Remus was forced to reevaluate his strategy.
'What do I do? Attack anyway! Turn back! Slow down and then take my time!'
All three opinions had their drawbacks.
The first one where they stuck to their plan was quickly ruled out as it had the least chance of success and most likely chance of the formation breaking apart by themselves.
