"Brothers, listen to my command," the Centurion shouted loudly: "Two-column arc formation!"
The soldiers quickly formed their positions. Although the formation was obviously shorter than the previous long line, it now had some depth, and the arc presented a significant sense of encirclement toward these Skodisqi people.
"Raise shields and sit down!"
With the sound of "clank, clank," the soldiers set their shields diagonally in front of them and sat neatly on the ground, their eyes fixed straight ahead at the Skodisqi people.
Some of the Skodisqi were intimidated by the soldiers' imposing aura and instinctively moved closer to Gowes.
