"I am tactician of Ylisse, I've been given charge of my force the Shepherds." His eyes darts along the forest surrounding them. "I assume your the lightning prodigy? Before you ask, you are rather famous among mages and healers." He said lifting a hand towards the forest. "If your here to kill me, please don't insult my intelligence or that of my countries Tacticians." With that lightning struck one the soldiers who had been in waiting. "Jerod three more with lances on the right, I've got two with swords on your left." He told the fighter as drew his sword. "Heather stay behind us, watch for injuries." He told her looking back to towards the wagon. 

"Blade, Sayuri I count four fighters, left side's of the lead cart, they're yours! Byrnhild two Mercenaries to the right of the lead cart, take them out." The tactician yelled out his orders as the ambush party was reeling from the attack. With that forces assembled rushed out. Matthew had the count down of enemies down perfectly obviously no amateur who had never been out in the field. He kept his eye's focus towards the Light prodigy, he'd recognized her from the report he had heard about a healer who had mastered use of lightning spell. Her hair and uniform had been enough for him to deduce it, though something about her presence also called attention to the fact she was no meek healer.

Rushing from the foliage two archers flanked Chloetta the first fired at Jerod, the second at Heather. Matthew turned and deflected the arrow meant for Heather with his sword. Just as the two mercenaries close upon his position, dodging the first one strike he parried the next blow and took the head off one of the two the remaining mercenary stepped back give himself some breathing room. Six soldiers arranged themselves at rear of the convoy to prevent anyone from escaping. Cavaliers charged from down the road taking position behind the smash cart, as two mages joined and a four healers rushed out to stand among the Calvary. The odd's were not in the favor of the Shepherds.
