The Center Melee

"*Sigh*," Faruq at first let out a visible sigh at this question, as he still found it hard to believe had seen.

But since Ural had asked, he saw no point in hiding it, and so recounted what happened in a simple, short manner, "Alexander faked his army's collapse, and let the chariots run through. Then used the cavalry he had hidden in the back to attack them head-on. Lord Nibraz is currently trapped behind the enemy."

Though Faruq had tried to keep his calm as he said this, he still failed to hide the laced trepidation.

'Trapped behind the enemy' usually meant dead and this meant that not only did both the cavalry and chariot charge fail, but also most of the unit involved had basically disappeared, leaving Faruq with far fewer options to attack with.

Not to mention the back-to-back deception that Alexander managed to pull weighed heavy on the young man.
