Margraves Vs Alexander (Part-1)

It was very clear from Lord Bernard's words that his primary goal was not really to go win the battle or even take Phyrros Island back.

All those were just convenient reasons and extensions of his real objective- trying to achieve grand battlefield glory and accreditation, for himself as well as his family.

And Ser Robert knew this.

This is why Lord Bernard had made some very good points about attacking Alexander, he was initially of the mind to reject him, afraid he was just saying this to get in the way and order the army erratically.

And sensing this distrust, Lord Bernard tried to once again make the deal even sweeter, even reminding him of the 'terrible' way Lord Parker treated them, saying things like, "Robert! Did you forget what he has been giving you? I don't even know how you guys can eat that stuff. Barley! Really? Who give barley to his soldiers?"
