Chapter 435: Alexander vs Ural (Part-2)

The reason for the collapse of the flaking attack on the right side, led by Ural was not as singular as one might make it out to be.

Certainly Alexander's charge was the single most decisive factor.

But other ingredients played their part in this recipe of tucking one's tail and running as well.

The very first incident that had struck especially hard at the morale of the troops was the routing of the Jahal mercenaries.

The two forces were situated directly opposite of each other and each could monitor the other without any visual impairment.

So when the 1,300, or now only 1,200 men witnessed the event, it had an effect on them that was difficult to quantify.

Because many of these men had grown up learning and knowing the reputation of these cut-throat mercenaries and some even idolized them.

And if one went through their stellar battlefield record, many would conclude they deserved such worship.
