The Native's Deployment

"Will these armorless idiots even be able to hold on?" 

As Alexander expressed his wish to use the natives as bait in the upcoming battle, Remus seriously questioned whether these men even had the equipment to pull it off.

However, Alexander felt Remus was being too snobbish towards the native's attire.

Although perhaps not as good as the legionnaires' bronze, mail, and thorax combination, the linen clothes cum armor worn by the general soldiers was not half bad.

In fact, there were even records of cloth being better than metal armor in some cases.

For example, when the Spaniards fought against the Aztecs, they found the linen armor those South Americans wore was so good that it even managed to stop their bullets.

Now admittedly the muskets back then were not as powerful as its later cousins.

But still, for mere flimsy cloth to stop a solid, iron ball… it was nothing short of absolutely impressive.
