Fort Battle {Chapter 1}[/i][/row][cell]

The flurry of combat was swift and the assault was decisive.  The two bandits went down under the augmented follow-up strikes from that other lancer while others moved deeper to engage the archers and the swordsman behind them.  Still, Trace wasn't quite fast enough to escape the counter stroke from the bandit he attacked.  It was only a shallow flesh wound on his arm so it wouldn't slow his movements.  He was more concerned about Artemisia.  She had gotten herself in a very dangerous situation.  He would have to keep an eye on her while she got over whatever was flustering her.

But, there was a cavalry assault on the swordsman underway while nobody was actually going for the other archer.  Yet.  Trace didn't stop moving for more than a moment after receiving his first injury of this war.  He dashed forward toward the remaining archer and launched a swift and forceful lunge, seeking to pierce straight through the heart.  But, he was not so simple as most.  At the angle of his attack, the archer would have to risk damage to their bow if they sought to dodge.  If they hesitated for even a moment, or were distracted by their current target, it could easily be their end.  And, if this archer fell so easily as that, then Trace would pivot and add his presence to the fight with the swordsman.  Any distraction could tip the scales and speed the end of the fight.
