Unsurprisingly, Isolde did not stand down. Instead, she sent her men forward to take them. Alive even, how quaint. Galahad shifted into a fighting stance, his halberd close and ready to spring forward, when the small Mystral caught his ear. His eyes darted over to Miina, who explained her plan- dispelling Isolde's protections might just give them the edge they needed. Maybe they could kill her, or at least force some of her guards to pull back to protect her, leveling the playing field a bit more. Grove Paladins were no joke after all, especially now that they were both hastened and protected by magic. Galahad nodded as Izayoi stepped in and spoke as well.

[color=lightblue]"Agreed."[/color] Galahad murmured quietly, [color=lightblue]"Kill the head, make an opening, then push through."[/color] There was no more time for planning, the knights were upon them now. Galahad took a quick glance around them, finding the man he sought. [color=lightblue]"Arton! To the front! Break through their lines!"[/color] 

[color=lightblue]"Miina, I'm getting you in close. Hang on!"[/color] Galahad told the small mystral as he half helped, half threw her onto his back. As the Kirins and knights surged forward to clash, the armored dragoon leaped into the sky, air whipping around him. The two climbed steadily, Galahad's eyes quickly scanning the battlefield as he sought out both Isolde and took a quick measure of the battle below him. The knights had a decent mix of weapons, from polearms to blades and shields, as well as a few bows. It certainly wasn't some sort of ceremonial unit that was attacking them, no, these guys were ready for a fight. Using the weight of his halberd to guide his fall, Galahad's eyes locked onto Isolde, the Grovemaster white mage responsible for empowering these knights. [color=lightblue]"Break Isolde's protections, I'll keep the knights off of you."[/color] Galahad said to the red mage, [color=lightblue]"Jump back on when you're ready to leave."[/color]

Galahad streaked down towards the ground, his halberd striking before he did, as he aimed to put himself between Isolde and her nearest knights. Earth and stone sundered and cracked as Galahad landed, the dragoon wrenching his halberd out of the ground as he paused long enough for Miina to jump off of him. Galahad's electricity infused Wyrmfang began to make large, broad arcs and long stabs across the field, using his weapon's weight and range to keep the knights away from them while Miina did her work. It felt like he was fighting Ospreans in the war again, leaping into their backlines to sow chaos before leaping away. He'd force them to pay attention to his weapon, a big enough threat to pull at least a few eyes away from the front- a small advantage that the Kirins could take advantage of.

One particularly brave knight stepped forward with his sword and shield to put a stop to Galahad and Miina's actions, his bulwark powering through one of Galahad's swings as he attempted to close the distance. He lunged and swung his blade at the dragoon, faster than expected, Galahad managing to bring his halberd in at just the right time to catch part of the swing, absorbing the rest of it onto his armor. Hooking the back of his axe blade against the knight's arm, Galahad sent his weapon to the ground, opening the knight's guard enough for Galahad to step forward and deliver a devastating- leap powered drop kick to the knight's chestplate. Sabatons dented cuirass as Galahad sent the knight flying backwards- his protections would likely prevent any serious injuries, but the point was to make space.

Galahad's attention was spread out a bit more than he'd liked, but that's what he got for being a single dragoon leaping into the back instead of an entire squad. If Miina could peel away Isolde's protections, Galahad could follow up with an overhead cut with his halberd, but staying in the middle of a group of enemies was not a thing he could do for an extended period of time. Galahad glanced over at Miina, ready to get to her and leap her out of trouble when she was ready to go.
