When the people regained their vision, what they saw was a long and deep trench beside Cyane who had lost consciousness. Basil was at the end of the trench, so even the least bright person would also be able to tell that he was the one who had created the trench.
When one thought about a clash, surely, one would expect to see both sides receiving damage. The people were no different as they tried to figure out how much damage Basil had sustained; he didn't get any and that baffled the people.
The ground behind him didn't even sustain any damage, which proved just how formidable his defence was. The people were astonished by this fact, so the realization that their Legion Commanders had been beaten to unconsciousness came late.
Gazing at the dumbfounded people, Basil remarked, "I think it is time for a rest."
