Preparations for the Defense
As the defeated remnant of Menes's forces entered the city, seeing their dejected appearances and badly mauled state, Cambyses's heart skipped several beats.
With them defeated, and the enemy so close...…Cambyses dared not think further.
And coupled with the losses she recalled, the nineteen-year-old began to feel a stinging headache coming.
Close to 13,000 dead was a large wound for any lord.
Never mind for a small fiefdom like Zanzan.
It was not something Alexander's city could afford to withstand at this point.
Especially not when all those lost were all healthy, young men in the prime of their lives.
And knowing this, the day Cambyses had gotten the news, the girl was so hurt and afraid that she even found it hard to swallow her food for the rest of the day, feeling butterflies swarming inside her stomach.
