The following days Penelope spent going over the plans with Mia and the others. All of them made sure to remind the others that they were to be careful of the village they were fighting near should they end up having to fall back by any chance. Though most knights seemed to just accept the rule without much issue, she noticed some didn't take to kindly to the additional rule. And that included her own brother. Layth had tried to argue against it one more time, claiming that it was a foolish thing to enforce. However, between Mia's hatred for him and the other two barons trying to protect their gold, his voice went unheard.
The battalion eventually left to travel further north. It was a long walk and tension seemed a bit high amongst the knights due to that. They rested once they were a little past Whitebridge and then continued on towards Grimsby. As time for battle neared, Penelope walked silently between Tomas and Layth. The three lieutenants were positioned behind their barons. Tomas glanced at the two siblings and gave a small sigh. "Almost time."
"Yeah." Penelope mumbled as the troops moved into position. Her gaze flickered in the direction of Grimsby, hoping that the new rule would save the village from the level of destruction she had seen in Whitebridge. It had only been one battle but it was enough for the knight to want to prevent it again. She hoped they could keep the Younisians from tearing past them like before or pushing them back.
"Any other rules you want to add?" Layth growled as he looked over at Penelope. "Maybe I should only be allowed to use one hand or stay in one place."
"Quit it Layth." Penelope grumbled. "It'll be for the best. Surely you're skilled enough to win battles without being reckless.. Or are your skills really that poor?" She challenged. Layth was terribly competitive as well as prideful so she hoped her words would be enough to end him from arguing otherwise. Luckily, they were. Layth glared at her and snorted. "I'm perfectly capable."
"Come on you two, we have to focus." Tomas said, fixating his gaze ahead. "It's time."
Penelope looked back ahead to see Mia moving into position. The baroness brandished her sword, readying to give the signal for attack as the Younisian troops drew closer. Penelope drew her sword and gripped the hilt tightly,readying herself for another battle. Mia let out a cry of for an attack and the Brerratic force followed her lead as she rode her horse, charging into battle. The sound of metal clashing and battle cries seemed to fill the air as the two forces clashed yet again.
Penelope quickly locked herself in a fight with an enemy knight. She blocked a couple attacks and danced past him, driving her blade into his side before quickly moving her sword to block the attack of another Younisian knight who came rushing to his comrades aid a moment too late.
