Charles was just about to respond when Philedrica reminded him, "It's already too late to run. If we change our formation now, it will turn into a one-sided slaughter. Only by facing the attack head-on can we maintain order."
Although Charles only discussed military strategies on paper, he knew Philedrica was absolutely right. Considering the composition of the Westwind Knights, once the battle began, those prisoners would probably flee, triggering an avalanche-like chain reaction. He immediately ordered the Westwind Knights to set up a solid defensive formation, preparing for the imminent impact.
He did not know which armies were involved in the battle; he could only hope that the victorious side would be their allies.
