Seeing the enemy phalangites run, the legionaries all madly dashed haphazardly, breaking rank against the explicit orders of their officers and making themselves vulnerable.
An opportunity that the experienced mercenaries from the Kaiser Family of course did not let escape, as they quickly couterattacked, cutting down many lives which could have been easily avoided if only these soldiers had exercised a bit of patience.
And in this, somehow their relative small size that was up until now a massive hindrance suddenly became a great boon.
Because the thousand men, arranged in 4 units of 250 men were nothing in size when compared to the 20,000 huge force, meaning whatever damage these bulky, slow units could do, they could only do to a small number of legionaries.
