Iomedae's blessing could be felt and the renewed strength of the soldiers turned the next ride from the two soldiers on the other side break down the enemy's macement defense trampling on them with the riders attacks aimed at crossbowmen. The mercenary soldiers were badly beaten, and even as Gabriel's light shone the rider behind him rode past and slashed down one more maceman.<br/><br/>The remaining mercenaries seemed to understand they had been beaten. At the carriage, the remaining riders were keeping a close guard at them, so any surprise aimed at them would not have a chance either. If the foe expected a short, brutal charge and the foe to ride into a deadly trap leaving the carriage unprotected, they would have to be seriously disappointed.<br/><br/>The fallen soldier began to get up, though looking still bloodied, but moving after his horse that had made some distance after his fall the soldier seemed to at least be in shape to move without major pain again.<br/><br/>This battle was already won, the crossbowmen moving away in a hurried manner, abandoning the still standing maceman to his fate. The bandit attack had collapsed entirely.
