Gaston charged ahead at Roderic. The General managed to block the attack as he stumbled up to his feet.

"General, I find it hard to believe you would turn on the crown." Gaston said.

"I don't serve Perien, my loyalty is with Darius." Roderic stated and charged, striking at the Knight-Commander.

The two exchanged blows as the battle raged on around them.

Crendal and his few Knights tore through the archers, dealing a heavy blow against the Legion, however a couple more knights were felled by arrows from all sides as they charged.

After taking care of the opponents near him, Legate Astien ordered his men to turn around and chase after the Prince as he destroyed the archer ranks and the rear of the Legion formation.

Jovron and his party accompanied the Legate.

"You are old General, you cannot defeat me." Gaston said. He was over 10 years younger than Roderic.

"Age is just a number, Sir Gaston. I am still the better warrior." Roderic retorted, and it was true. He attacked ferociously, using his more aggresive bandit fighting style to overpower Gaston.

In a few hits, Gaston was being pushed back. He tried to parry a blow from Roderic but the General thrust with a powerful blow that Gaston was not able to deflect.

Roderic pierced the Knight-Commander's flesh and killed him.

The archers were routed, Prince Crendal's knights had won their skirmish against them. However they didn't get any breaks. As soon as the archers were out of the picture, the Legion infantry joined the fray.

Under Astien's command, they overpowered the knights and were winning the battle.

Jovron conjured his Familiar once more and sent it ahead, charging through the soldiers as headed for its target. It lunged and bit the leg of the Prince's horse. Causing the beast to throw itself into the air to knock the familiar off him, but that also knocked the Prince off its back.

Crendal fell down. The arrows stuck in his armor broke as he landed. He pushed himself up, but found himself surrounded by Legionnaires. He exchanged blows with them and managed to kill two before they spread out.

"Let me fight him." Jovron told them. "I will defeat the Daggerfaller Prince."

"You think you can fight me? I was hailed as the greatest knight in the province." Crendal said, twirling his sword.

"That may have been so, but you are tired and injured. I think it is a fair fight now." Jovron said. "Besides, I am not that bad either."

The two circled each other, waiting for someone to make the first move. It was Jov that attacked first, sprinting ahead and striking quickly at Crendal.

Crendal struck at Jovron, but he used his gold bracers to change the direction of the blow. He smirked, but Crendal took that smile away as he bashed the Half-elf back. "It will not be that easy."

Jovron spat out blood. "I understand, but I will still win." He charged against and hit Crendal with two quick swings, one catching the prince's shieldarm.

Crendal stumbled back, he was slower than Jovron, but not by much. As a highly trained knight his armor felt like a second skin to him.

The two continued their duel for minutes until Jovron decided to change tactics. Crendal is more formitable than I thought...to beat him I will need to be reckless. He lunged and the Prince and exchanged blows with him, after a successful parry from Crendal he left himself open for attack.

Crendal took the opportunity and stabbed Jovron through the lower chest, piercing his black leather armor and pulling him close. "It is over, Jovron Lariat. You are done." He was about to swing his sword out, tearing the Half-elf nearly in half, when he felt the cold kiss of steel through flesh and felt his lungs fill with blood.

Jovron had stabbed him from under the armpit while the Prince brought him close with his stab. Jovron had blood runnind out from his mouth, but he still managed a grin. "No, you are done Prince Crendal. Right now your lungs should be filling with blood, I pierced your side. You will die in seconds."

"You...bastard." Crendal said. His shield fell to the ground as he became too weak to hold it. He let go of his sword, it was still thrust into Jovron, and fell to his knees.

Jovron pulled his sword from Crendal's side and stumbled back, falling to one knee as he spat out some blood. The sword in his gut was incredibly painful, but he needed to get it out in order to heal himself. He gripped it tight and pulled, wincing as he did so. When it was out he used Close Wounds to stop the bleeding. He thought about healing Crendal as well, after having him surrender but as he looked forward, the Prince fell face first into the ground.

The battle didn't last longer after that, with the remaining Daggerfallers surrendering.

(Alright, the battle is over. Next post will be about the Adamantine Order.)
