>>5664996>“Ingrid, they’re completely cut off! If we don’t try to help them, they’ll either burn to death or be completely overrun!”Ingrid, finding the resolve needed to stick to her decision, shakes her head firmly. “I said we have our orders, Blair! If you’re to be under my command, I expect you to follow them! Now come, we must not let those enemy pegasus knights make matters even worse for Dimitri and the others.”
>You bite your tongue. If you had any hope of convincing Ingrid, you’d already blown it. Separating from her command would only serve to divide your unit and make you that much weaker. You’d just have to hope that Felix, Uriel and Roxanne could make it out of there on their own. “Blackwings, we follow Ingrid’s lead! Move out!”Ingrid and the few knights she has take off from the hill you’d been waiting at, and you and your mercenaries follow suit. You rapidly begin approaching the center of Gronder Field, where the chaos and confusion has only increased tenfold. The Kingdom’s main army has been forced to divert course and begins moving towards the right side of the battlefield, closer to the Leicester Army. Hubert, having anticipated that the army would be forced to turn their back on them, must have sent these enemy pegasus knights to hit them from behind. As you draw nearer, you figure that the enemy fliers number sits somewhere around 60, all of which are pegasus knights. That fact sets your mind at ease a bit. Were these the Hellwings, most of them would be riding wyverns. Knowing that the enemy in front of you is not Rex and his men makes you that much more confident that you can beat them.
Ingrid serves as the tip of your spear. From where you’re flying behind her, you can see her unsheathe Luin from her back. The enemy squadron did not see your group emerge from behind the hill, and they’re caught in the side completely unaware of your unit’s presence. Luin flashes brightly alongside Ingrid’s crest activation, and the heir to House Galata charges forward in a blinding flash. Before you know it, five enemy pegasus knights have all been cut down in a spray of blood and viscera. You and the rest of the Blackwings follow suit, slamming into the surprised foe. Your Killer Lance deftly cuts the head off a pegasus, sending its rider screaming down to the ground below. Two pegasus knights turn towards you and raise their weapons, only for Diana and Shelley to fall upon them. In a flash, both women are cut down, and sent to join their comrade down below.
