"start!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Catherine dashed forward.
The knight he was facing also ran towards him, but a look of resignation was faintly visible on his face.
Catherine held her sword out in front of her, which she had placed on the halter.
Catherine, with her relatively short reach, is not bad at keeping her opponents at bay and keeping their distance, but it's not a great way to dig in like this.
The opponent quickly dug in, his nerves extremely tense. In such cases, the classic method of destruction is to use a ricasso, which exerts a lot of force, to push the outside of the opponent's sword.
With Catherine's arms outstretched, it's difficult to swing or change the sword, and it's also difficult to put power into the sword.
It's very basic combat logic.
But there's no way Catherine wouldn't know such basic things.
It's clearly a trap, but you can't help but go in even though you know it.
