Some screams blinded the ears of the people at present. The fight with the sand people is different from the vatakku. Rosa cannot predict their movement in the battle. In Tom’s lead, they were doing a good job in holding on, but the number of sand people was large. They were good in-range attacks. The swordsmen put their shields up to protect the men behind them.
Rosa’s plan of guarding them against the back was taking a delay as they had to shift their tactics as soon as the archers came forward. She was having a hard time progressing further than a foot or two.
She could not see any opening to land into after moving if she starts to run, she will keep on running or stop in the middle of a dangerous spot. Garshah was also standing behind the shields with his troops.
“This way they will encircle us to a limited spot and trap us, Sir.” He ducked to dodge another rain of arrows falling on them.
