Alister picked up his blade and charged at the last soldier, a little bit relieved and frustrated at the same time. Frustrated that his plan had done absolutely nothing, and that there was no ambush, and relieved that it didn't make a bit of difference, as his allies had walked all over the unprepared and poorly trained opponents. He had forgotten to factor in the skills and abilities of his own allies, it was something that he'd have to take into account from this point onward. Alister swung his blade at the last soldier, aiming for a downward slash on his shoulder. However, the soldier blocked with his spear and spun around, slamming the back end of his spear into Alister's side. He had forgotten that they had requested to bring the prince in alive, however, that would be the deciding factor in this fight.<br/><br/>Recovering swiftly, Alister charged at the soldier again, this time stabbing out at his chest. The soldier backed away to avoid the stab, sweeping his spear across Alister's feet. Unfortunately for the soldier, Alister saw this attack coming, as it was the most obvious counter that would be most effective in the situation. Jumping just slightly upward, he brought his feet down hard on the spear, ripping it from the soldier's hands, not even a moment later, he sprung forward and dug his blade into the neck of the soldier. As the last man fell to the ground, Alister surfaced from the trench that would have had the ambush in it, and looked at his group. All that remained of the enemy was the chevalier that was engaging Kain, and the knight that was guarding the gate. Looking back behind him, Alister saw rapidly approaching reinforcements, the dark army was quickly closing in on the fleeing Lancor group.<br/>"Everybody! Mobilize now and get ready to get out of here, we're leaving!"<br/><br/>....<br/><br/>Kain hesitated when he heard Lelian shout for them to stop fighting. How could she honestly say such a thing, were it not for Kain's intervention, she'd be dead at the hands of this monster right now... He even looked like a monster! The only things that Kain saw beneath the helmet were a pair of red eyes. While he had absolutely no idea what was going on in the healer's mind, he wasn't going to do anything until he had an answer, backing further away from the attacking Chevalier, he continued to stay in between him and Lelian as he turned his head towards her, still keeping the attacker in his puerperal vision.<br/>"What are you saying? This guy attacked you"
