Bab 438: Battle Conclusion (part-1)

Faruq deliberated on Sunash's hopeful suggestion for a bit.

It was this or going with his own plan where he would be just stopping the incoming collapse.

But that could not win the battle.

And thus ultimately decided to follow Sunaash, gambling everything on this dice roll.

Faruq knew that the battle could now be only won if the enemy made some major mistakes, and not by his own skill.

Hence, soon, the 2nd legion started to see camels in front of them, followed by a shower of javelins and spear attacks.

"Hold! Hold! Just a bit longer hold!" Seeing this Heliptos and most of the officers under him cried, encouraging and boasting the men.

These men had been going at it from the morning and most had lost their throats, sounding hoarse and gravely from the day-long shouting and urging.

While the men under them were scraping the bottom of the barrel to stay in the fight.
