[i][color=Darkslategray]Okay, ranged combat really doesn't work. He's too quick.[/color][/i] He thought, analysing his situation.

If he tried to attack with a bow, Izayoi would simply get out of the way. Out of the question

If he summoned units they wouldn't be fast enough to get to him, plus there was still one more wolf somewhere...

He didn't have anything to try to defend with... Unless... [i][color=Darkslategray]A good offense is the best defense. An ambush could work nicely, especially as he seems rather aggressive.[/color][/i]

He decided that the ambush was the way to go. Standing still would give it away, so he rushes towards Izayoi, preparing to play [b]Frontline Centurion[/b] and [b]Wily Blacksmith[/b] as soon as he gets in range, in a pincer attack formation of sorts. He orders them to attack.

The air near Jacques' hands solidify. Gareth is amazed at this, but Jacques knows exactly what to do. While Izayoi is distracted, he attacks with an [b]Arcane Longsword[/b] in one hand, and the [b]Sword Breaker[/b] in the other.

Jacques does the following actions:

1. Jacques runs toward Izayoi, baiting an attack against an unarmed target.
2. Jacques summons a [b]Frontline Centurion[/b] and a [b]Wily Blacksmith[/b] in a pincer attack as soon as he is in range (~5 feet), and order these units to attack.
3. Jacques will use the time it takes Izayoi to block to launch an attack with an [b]Arcane Longsword[/b] and a [b]Sword Breaker[/b].

Both these attacks gain a damage bonus from the [b]Wily Blacksmith[/b]
