[color=abcf29]‘Kah!’[/color] Viridia jumped back as her opponent’s lance lightly hit her side, enough to draw blood and she had to pull back. Her left arm held over the wound while her right still held her lance against her enemy…

[color=915a54]‘This is all you got?’[/color] the opposing Soldier asked. [color=915a54]‘I was a bit afraid of fighting the hero’s daughter, but you’re nothing special.’[/color]

[color=abcf29]‘I-I’m working on it! One day, I’ll be something special! I just need a little time to get there…’[/color] Viridia defended, clearly frustrated.

[color=915a54]‘Really? Well, pity you’ll die today, then.’[/color]

[color=abcf29]‘Kh!’[/color] Viridia frowned, holding out her lance to continue the battle, knowing the situation looked grim.

[color=faf173]‘Young miss! Get behind me!’[/color] Osmund called, his voice bellowing. [color=faf173]‘My armour shall defend us both from their attacks-’[/color] 

[color=915a54]‘HIYA!’[/color] An axe-fighter took advantage of Osmund being distracted to chop at him with his axe, going right past the Knight’s guard to hit him square on… and the axe bounced back with a heavy clang of metal meeting metal. The Fighter bounced back, because it seemed Osmund had taken no damage whatsoever.

[color=915a54]‘I-I don’t get it…’[/color] the Fighter told, frowning hard. [color=915a54]‘Other Knights of Grado go down to chops like that. This one is so much slower and so terrible at actually fighting than the others, hitting him is a piece of cake, but I can’t seem to hurt him…!?’[/color]

[color=faf173]‘Ho-ho!’[/color] Osmund claimed proudly, waving in the hurt Viridia behind him. [color=faf173]‘Indeed, your flimsy weaponry is no match for the magnificent armour of Knight Osmund! How, you ask? Well, it’s quite simple! The secret is-’[/color] Osmund was shouting proudly, when his speech was interrupted by Kergin’s roar from across the street, and the two Fighters suddenly had something extremely worrying to think about.

[@Rune_Alchemist][@Eklispe][@Apollosarcher]

The Fighter spun around just in time to see Kergin charging into him. He struck back with his axe, though the swing was badly aimed and only slightly graced Kergin’s side before the Fighter was blown back and into the wall. The Soldier at the side tried to The remaining Fighter aimed to strike at Kergin’s head, but failed to take into account the fact that Isolde existed and was deftly struck down by her horizontal swing. The downed Fighter was then struck before he could get down by Osmund.

[color=faf173]‘Ha-ha! Even I can hit when my enemy is downed!’[/color] Osmund called. … Then he realized something. [color=faf173]‘… That doesn’t sound very honourable. Hm.’[/color] A puzzling matter, indeed.

Meanwhile, Viridia broke a window open in the adjacent building with her lance, thoroughly terrifying the inhabitants before she gripped the children and started lifting them through.

[color=abcf29]‘Get in, and stay inside. They won’t hurt you as long as you’re indoors. Stay in, stay safe, find your parents when this all blows over…!’[/color] she told them, before lifting the other child over as well.

The Soldiers in front as well as to the side threw a single look at the new reinforcements before deciding it was best to double back, turning around and dashing to rejoin the rest of the incoming group.

[color=faf173]‘It seems we’ve been saved. Thank you,’[/color] Osmund said in the direction of the party, Viridia walking a bit awkwardly to stand at his side, her expression unsure. Osmund is a large man in heavy armour and an intimidating visage, yet clearly doesn’t entirely know how to even properly hold that lance of his. Viridia was an average young girl in stature, with armour that wasn’t of Grado but looked a bit too fancy to be Jehannan, honestly. She was bleeding from her side.

They could take the time to discuss things, but honestly-

[color=607196]‘Enemies approaching from behind!’[/color] Aldo called from behind Titania, as behind them in the alleys, getting terribly close all of a sudden as they were hurrying to get behind the two mounted units on their side but slightly lagging behind due to lower movement speed. It was getting crowded here.

So, Servus ran along after the Fighter, and, within a couple of steps…

[color=915a54]‘There they are! A group of stragglers, ready for the picking!’[/color] the Fighter announced. Quite right, over there was a Shaman and a Cleric, albeit the Cleric wasn’t wearing the typical white clothing of Clerics, and further away was a Cavalier and a Wyvern Rider… And it appeared the Zane Guild was moving to surround the lot.

What would Servus do now?
