[quote=Gerard Segremors][color=goldenrod]"And beyond even that, friend; there's no great injustice in choosing your life over he who would end it. You don't need to enjoy the act, but you'll need to be ready for it. Keep that in mind from here on out, and it should keep you upright."[/color][/quote]

Jarde, still with a smile, heaved a sigh and placed a hand on [u]Gerard's[/u] shoulder. "[color=yellow]Thanks for ruining the joke, Sir Segremors.[/color]"

[u]Captain Fanilly[/u], as the next course of action, ordered for the sentries around the bandit camp to be dispatched. Needing the more stealthy knights, Jarde was of course part of that party and he and the others made quick work of the bandit watchmen. The bandit camp was now vulnerable to a surprise attack from the Iron Rose Knights.

The next plan was a four-pronged strike on the bandit camp coming from four directions. The element of surprise and the illusion of a surround would definitely catch the bandits' off guard and disorient them enough for the Iron Rose Knights to easily defeat them all. [u]Fanilly[/u] had selected herself and three others to lead the multi-directional attack and left the rest of the knights free to choose which direction they would join.

Jarde thought for a moment which leader he would join. [u]Tyaethe[/u] and [u]Aria[/u] already had followers while he had already hung out with [u]Gerard[/u] a bit, so [u]Fanilly[/u] it was. Of course, for Jarde the choice was not wholly a calculated one. There were feelings there, even if he did not know it. 

"[color=yellow]I'll be coming with you, Captain. I may not be a frontline fighter but I'll do my best.[/color]"
