Well, the troop was here now.  Luna had handpicked some of the soldiers that she knew were competent, in fact, a couple of them were there the day she had met the Queen for the first time and that was a hellish day to be sure.  But she picked them because she could trust them to clean up in a worst case scenario.  She had already discussed their role with them in this.  While it might not be the most honorable job, it was the one she had left the them.

She took a breath and took her steps forward.  She needed to start this assault according to plan.  This isn't the most dangerous thing she had done. No.  With confidence she moved forward, sword at her side and shield at hand.  As she came into sight of those on the palisades, she held a spear of light in her hand and threw it hard, aiming as she could past the gate.  Though it didn't matter too much.  There was more than enough time for her allies to position themselves.  All Lady Lightsword needed to do was make an announcement.  And she had no better way to do so than with that spear.  As it eventually embedded itself and stopped it's movement, Luna caused it to explode into a bright and disorientating light.  If one were outside, it would be hard to miss.  

"Come fight me, bandit wretches!  If you thought a full force of soldiers were needed to rid this land of your kind, you have thought wrong!"  Luna said, beckoning them all to her.  She reached to her sword and freed it from the confines of its sheath all whilst applying her light coating magic to it.  "Come, I challenge each and every one of you to come win a battle you cannot!"  There was a dread sense of confidence to the knight as she stood, ready for the arrows and foot soldiers to come charging.
