Lord Bernard seemed concerned that the recently repaired bridge was too hastily mended to be able to take the full blurt of 2,000 men walking over it at the same time.
And hearing this, all the scowls among the rest of the men in the room suddenly subsided, as they realized what the man was saying might very well be right.
They had seen for themselves how the once pure stone bridge was now only held together by a skeletal mish mesh of wooden planks and thick flaxen ropes, making the solid structure appear almost creaking and rickety.
It would not be wise to have so many men run across it in its current state.
Thus upon Lord Bernard delineating the circumstances, Lord Parker was very quick to agree, and changed his command as such, "Okay, have the men instead board the ships we have managed to restore. Tell them to sail east and land behind the enemy. We will catch Alexander in a pincher and destroy the man once and for all!"
