Faruq's declaration made all the commanders wake up to the facts.
And Lord Nibraz was the first to speak up in support of it.
"Lord Faruq is right. Even if the harbor is defended by a herd of pigs, it does not matter. We should not give Alexander any chance to correct his mistake. For if he goes back to his city, with forty-one thousand (41,000) men to defend the walls, the resulting siege will be impossible for us to win any time soon."
That would be their worst-case scenario.
And so all the nobles quickly bought into Faruq's head-on offensive.
"That's right. The idiot has made such a huge mistake. We should capitalize on it. And besides, we have 15,000 cavalry with us! What are we afraid of facing, hahaha?" They all pumped themselves up.
In Adhania, it was considered that the side with more cavalry would win most of the time, and hence the nobles felt pretty good about themselves.
