Having a bad feeling that wasn't going to stop that advancement anyway, Hyarmenion was already on the move. He had kept up with the fact that the enemies on the ground were moving forward, and of course he had his own weapon drawn. That was, of course, a result of the fact that he had always had his infamous wooden quarterstaff out.<br/><br/>For a while he was able to hold off even those who had steel. It had looked like his staff, which was made out of extremely tough wood, wasn't going to chop in the midst of even those using solid blades.<br/><br/>However, there were only so many that he was able to hold and eventually he had been rolling around, getting sliced in the process. Both through the fact that he was good with the scuffle on the ground and the fact that Rubii had come to aid him he had thrown off his attacker, who seemed to lay silently on the ground at this point.<br/><br/>Standing up for a moment, he tied his cloak tighter to perhaps block the slashes that he had received. "They're only flesh wounds; I'll have to be alright."<br/><br/>At this point, the doubt that had been cursing him before had seemed to have totally vanished and instead he felt confident in their victory. Even though he took another big hit from that general, he had soon gotten up once more and struggled to his feet.<br/><br/>Between gritted teeth he started to attack, helping Rubii by giving plenty of blows with his own staff. Despite his long career, this was still one of the toughest enemies that he had faced.<br/><br/>He wasn't going to let this general stab Rubii, though, and he moved on, using his staff at the same time that he continued to manipulate the ground underneath him. The other officer would have to turn around and face him, unless he wanted to be the one flat on his face.
