The two soldiers had come running forward, lances raised, their natural instincts as soldiers of Magvel telling them to go attack the one that was wielding a sword over there due to the advantage they would have due to the weapon triangle. However, as they were running forward one of them was suddenly struck by a thunderbolt from the not-very-mage-like-mage on the other side of riding prince while the other had to spin around with a lance raised due to the intercepting Pegasus Knight, failing badly as the soldier failed to protect himself and received a pin-pointed strike at his chest, injuring him and striking him off for a bit. This allowed Marwood to exchange to lance before their attack. The staggering electrocuted soldier proceeded to attempt stabbing the prince, but was unable to hit due to injury and the laps in ability, and the incoming jabs accurately felled the soldier. His companion intended to stand up again to attack, but the Lexa and Nightmare’s second charge turned too much for him. On the east side of the battlefield Sion, Rhodri, Nethanel would be starting to engage the Grado lines. The hunks of armor fought valiantly, but King Sion and his men were simply superior, and the fact Sion was using a Lancereaver somewhat stunned the General before him who had made a poor choice of weapon. Rhodri’s brutality was going by the General in front of him despite the General using a sword and should have weapon advantage, while Nethanel had caused grievous damage to his lance-wielding General and not being hit at all despite another fight against disadvantage. That fight would not be continuing for long. Looking over this on the map within his mind, Aldo would look in that direction and tell those closest. “We should move with all haste… Or they’ll see us rounding the corner…” “… So we’re sitting in the Throne Room instead of meeting them with our forces?” Garric would question, looking back at Rioga. Rioga would make a small, somber nod, and inform… “We need Sion to desire to hunt as deep into the Keep as possible before he realizes what he’s after isn’t here. For that, we should be protecting the most secure location, and that would be here, the Throne Room. This will delay him the longest, and give them the longest amount of time to escape.” Nero would have his eyes closed over there, awaiting the coming battle. “… Keh… I see…” Garric would say with a tone of not liking this one bit, but having no choice but to abide to this. … And then suddenly two archers came running up from the east staircase up on their left side. “Sir! We heard you needed reinforcements in the Throne Room, so we came as soon as we could!” … “… Huh?” Garric, Nero and Rioga would be left kind of just looking at the archers, knowing no such order had been given… Carlson and Leonard proceeded to flee west through a corridor that does not lead out of the Keep. To the south of where the soldiers were defeated, there was this makeshift wall created to keep them in, while the majority of the Spike Guild was still trying (failing) to get into the treasure chamber.
