Lord Macht's Last Roll (Part-2)

Being taken captive by the enemy side was never a pleasing feeling for any soldier, much less for a soldier as famed as Achillas. It was such that the general felt that even if he managed to get rescued, this event would remain a black streak on his record for all his life.

Lord Kite could certainly sympathize with his thoughts, and given that the general's capture was more due to treachery than his own faults, decided to spin a little tale for the injured man here, placating him by saying, 

"Do not worry about the lord! He seems to have gained a new life nowadays. You should see how hard he is working to get you back. Rest assured, with our resources, Alexander will be forced to kneel! Remember… we have more than twenty thousand men with us."
