Enemies, emerging from the fractured ground, clashed fiercely with the trained soldiers. Sir Ronald battled multiple foes simultaneously, while Michael's father and Baron Kensington fought with intensity.

"Hold the defensive line as trained! Form groups of five and drive the enemy back!" Michael shouted.
