The shieldwalls were up and the enemy's arrows were now much less effective.

Seeing that the archers alone wouldn't be able to do much damage to the rebels, the enemy's footsoldiers were ordered to attack. Two forces, one at each side of the road, came out of the woods to engage the shieldwalls. Now that their foes were out from behind the trees, the rebels could see who they were. Their foe was the Adamantine Order.

Knight-General Noleon had gathered his soldiers, those from Fort Gardner and the remnants of Knight-Commander Akorithi's army and set this ambush for the rebels, knowing that they would pass through here. In total, they numbered 225 soldiers.

Roberto thought of a strategy now that the footsoldiers were coming out of the woods. He turned to the cavalry around him and yelled. "Loose formation! We will charge the enemy!"

In loose formation the cavalrymen would have more room to maneuver around the trees and make it so their disadvantage was lessened, however it was a doubled edged sword. In loose formation each individual horseman would be in greater danger of enemy attacks.
