?Alexander held a small council upon his scouts' report of the king's intention to assault his camp. And there he declared to his officers, "We will not fight Perseus here. There is no need to. We will bait him to give us chase further into Tibias." "This will not only put strain on his supply train but also tire him out." "We can also use the time to raise some reinforcements from friendly cities, such as the garrisons." And to the officers, all these reasons that Alexander gave sounded quite…-

?Chapter 877 Alexander's visit to the clinic had been quite a fruitful one, as he got to see many of the advances being made there, letting him confirm that the money and resources pouring into that institution were not being wasted. It also boosted morale among the downed men, many of whom would not be able to return to normal life even if they managed to recover, and Alexander's assurance that they would be well taken care of no matter what pleased them greatly. And as Alexander left the…

?Chapter 876 In the following days after the battle, Alexander was in his camp finding himself inundated with a whole lot of work. First and foremost, he had come to the conclusion that the ox pulled wagon strategy was a bust. Which did somewhat put a bit of a damper on the man. He had been quite excited by this idea when he first thought about it, thinking he had found a real life hack. If it did work as he had intended, he would not have had to use infantry to protect the vulnerable…

?Chapter 875 While Alexander drowning in self reflection and worrying himself over the potential repercussions of the result of this battle, you would think Perseus would be out and about celebrating this great win. By now the city of Lilybee should have been buzzing with noises of loud celebrations and grand feasts, with good food and great wine flowing as the men cheered their hard won victory and toasted to the beginning of the grand reconquest of their country from the hands of the evil…

?874 The Retreat from Lilybee Hemicus's sudden cavalry charge and the destruction it wrought once again paid homage to the immense danger heavy cavalry carried if it was not properly dealt with and allowed to act as they pleased. Even with just 1,000, the man was able to cripple a force 7 times his size. It just went on to show that there was indeed a reason why European cavalry, like the famed covered in plate armor French knights on horseback, was one of the most if not the most deadly thing on…

?873 Hemicus's Bold Move Chapter 873 "Hahaha! What is this but only a minor set back?" It was with such a breezy sentence that Alexander decided to soothe Hemicus's aching heart, presenting the currently, already decided in his mind result, as more of a small inconvenience rather than a decisive defeat, and asking the man that he should not take too much note of it. "*Nod*" And although it was unknown how much of that Hemicus bought, he at least outwardly appeared to consent. "Good." That…

?872 A Self Reflective Analysis Chapter 872 "Send the reinforcements into the center and break through! We will be able to destroy the enemy if the flanks can hold on just a bit long!" Breaking out of his usual stoicism, Hemicus loudly shouted so to Alexander, his face ruddy and excited. The man still believed they could win. "......." And turning to look at the current state of the battlefield, Alexander could indeed see the two legions in the second echelons putting up quite a fight,…

?871 Perseus Vs Alexander (Part-6) "No! Stand and fight!" "Halt men! Halt!" "Do not disobey order! Stay and hold the line!" "We are close to winning! Why are fleeing?" Despite such shouts from Gnaeus and his surrounding officers, since Alexander's reinforcements never came, his flank finally collapsed. The oxen and handlers ran away, and the 'naked crossbowmen' saw no reason to stick around and get skewered. Thus the following events appeared like a dam bursting, the solid formation…

?870 Perseus Vs Alexander (Part-5) Lord Mithriditus's fearless solo charge into the mouth of the enemy and the rousing speech he gave as he rode to his death reverberated like a thunderclap across the entire battlefield, penetrating deep into the hearts of every Tibian present. Even many of the Tibians on Alexander's side were affected. This aged lord was one of the oldest statesmen of Tibias, having served three kings in his lifetime, Perseus's grandfather, father, and Perseus himself. Having…

?869 Perseus Vs Alexander (Part-4) One of the reasons why Alexander had decided to place the untrained Tibians in the flanks, secure behind the wagos was precisely because they were so untrained. Given that Lord Theony had simply dressed these peasants as soldiers, Alexander then chose to train them as crossbowmen as opposed to the sword or spear which required keen hand to eye coordination, quick reflexes, and a great presence of mind to predict where a spear thrust might be coming from and respond…
