The young king, Alexander, dismissed the soldier as he watched the soldiers of the Allied Army getting into formation from the back of his black war elephant, Senshan. As he had expected, the two opposing forces used very similar strategy, dating centuries before and was still very popular today: infantry in the center and cavalry on the two flanks. It was not altogether bad for the first day, but it certainly would not for later. Its nature was its heavy reliance on discipline and skills of the soldiers in combat. But thankfully, the auxiliaries were said not to be very disciplined. If it was true, then his Royal Knights under Arturia would be able to break their charges or rout them easily. His elephants and heavy cavalry could also do the tricks, but here, he only deployed the cavalries. If the enemy got wind of the fact that he brought in elephants into the Maw, they would try to counter them. It was his trump card, so he should not reveal it anytime soon.

From the looks of it, the Allied center appeared to be built very solidly with well-trained and battle-hardened infantries, especially his Royal Knight, but the flanks, the light cavalries led by William, wasn't. Some of whom weren't even Acity's soldiers. They were mercenaries, and usually they fought more for profit than for the country. Still, he should not discern all of them as disloyal and incompetent, but their discipline might wane in the heat of battle. This, Alexander decided to attempt and negate that, by presenting right there with them. As a king.

The king soon dismounted from his elephant, mounted a black horse and immediately dashed for William's position. He knew that this would be dangerous, considering that he did request not to wear protective head gear. But if fear was lingering within his army, he would have to shape it, mold it into courage, by showing none.

He needn't really ask him, since he was a king. And in Acity, a king nearly had the ultimate power to decide things around. But for a king to receive the respect of his people, he should not act like one. 

[color=f7941d]"Your highness?! What are you doing here?! It's not safe!"[/color] William replied as soon as he saw his king riding around without any sort of protection.

[color=fff79a]"I know. But I can't stand sitting around watching you all fight. It's our battle as well."[/color]

Just as he finished that, the deafening roars of the Uruks in the center and the arrows coming from the direction of the siege tower marked the beginning of the battle. Knowing that he did not have times for a full motivational speech, Alexander decided to be brief yet powerful. 

[color=fff79a]"Soldiers! Be unbent in the face of the enemy. Follow your king. Conquer your fears, and I promise you will conquer death!"[/color]
