Bab 107: Alexander Vs Amenheraft

Alexander hawkishly watched the battlefield, repeatedly turning his back to see if Menicus was near and then swinging around to see if the horsemen had arrived at the gates.

'Time's running out!' Alexander's heart began to beat with anxiety as the small group was only a few football pitch lengths away from the city gates.

Then, with the grace of the heavens, he spotted the riders riding towards Adhan, screaming the phrase he had taught them, 'Open the gates, open the gates! The king is coming.'

This loud shouting coupled with the fact many experienced soldiers could see the all too familiar golden armor they had seen their king on just four days ago when Amenheraft re-took the city was enough to convince them.

They had long spotted their god-king being surrounded by the enemy and were praying to Ramuh to save their king.
