The clever Bricks did not flee in panic to the east like his thousands of tribesmen, but instead fled south, believing it was undoubtedly safer.
Shortly after the attack horn sounded in the center of the Nix Formation, the left wing also sounded the horn, and the Nix Army launched a full counterattack across the line!
Third Legion Commander Carmillus hesitated upon hearing the horn from the center, unsure whether to immediately sound the copper horn to attack because the far right of the Third Legion was under attack from both front and rear. However, the Centurion Formation's defense was tight, the soldiers held the line, preventing the enemy from gaining any advantage, but making it difficult to turn defense into offense as well.
But while he hesitated, the horn on the opposing side sounded first, and the Pannonian Army's various long spear shield formations stopped fighting and began to retreat...
Upon realizing this, Carmillus immediately understood: the enemy was fleeing!
