XLIXWhen Artorius heard of the m******e at Pevensey, he was angry and sent down three regiments of Cymry to clear out the Saxons from Anderida Silva.
They were ambushed in the forest, and though far superior in strength to the men of Cissa, were cut to pieces, since they were trained to fight in the open and were greatly hampered by being forced to go into action in a wooded country.
Artorius received the news with a strange calm. It was Bedwyr who was angry this time. But Artorius said, “This is the answer we need. We have been getting slack and easy in our new cities. This reverse will teach us to watch closely. Now we know that the enemy is coming at us again, but more strongly this time.”
“Let us attack them and sweep them into the sea,” said Bedwyr, his eyes aflame for war.
