章 694: The Siege of Thesalie (Part-1)

The commander of Thesalie's garrison, Lord Ponticus was a man of great military prestige.

He had been in countless campaigns both against Adhania and against other powers across the sea and knew the battlefield like the back of his hand.

A fact that was perhaps best demonstrated most recently when he had so accurately judged the number of Alexander's force from such a distance away so clearly.

That took a keen eye and loads of experience.

And it was not as if he was just a good soldier.

He was very well connected too, for he was Perseus's uncle and greatly trusted by the king.

In fact when he had come to attack Zanzan, it was Ponticus who was left in charge of the defense of Tibias.

And the fact that he was now given the prestigious role of defending a fortress like Thesalie against Adhania just went to show the trust Perseus had in him.
