(1st month 5E 132)

Luciun was back with his cavalry. He'd rode over to the ballistae, and told them to start firing at midday. Long enough to call them off if he needed to. But the pigheaded lord refused surrender. He'd told all of his men to be ready at noon. There was a tense atmosphere, despite the chat. The horses, though hitched, were ready to charge. Luciun looked over at the village.

"How long, father?" Robert asked nervously. Luciun would've answered, but before he could open his mouth, the question was answered for him. Three explosions could be seen in the village.

"CHARGE!" Luciun cried. The knights quickly mounted and formed up. As the charge began, the archers could be seen firing onto the village, and the heavy infantry were charging. By the time the cavalry had reached the village, the infantry had too. Most of the soldiers just turned and ran. Those that stayed behind didn't last long.

"How do we call off the attack?" Luciun asked, seeing a problem.

"Sigmund gave me an echo spell," Robert replied. "That might do it."

Robert concentrated for a second. A humming could be heard, emanating from his hand, and nearby the ground shook. Then, a deafening roar was heard, shattering nearby windows. It was so loud that those in the village couldn't make out the word, but those further away heard a deep, booming, "STOP!"

"Good work," Luciun said, patting his son on the back, as the firing ceased.
