Arg Balvanz was the next to fall, thanks
to Drakon's superior speed. In one pass Arg fell, gasping for breath
before expiring. Kullvox' mace was bashing down upon Timult's shield,
over and over, backing the knight up. The last remaining Balvanz brother
was being totally overwhelmed. Brockram, however, was preparing himself
for Golan's charge. Garalt smirked as he saw Golan running towards the
knight, after seeing Golan fight trouble, Brockram didn't stand a chance.
A great whooshing sound passed Garalt's
head, coming from behind him. Garalt followed Hillsbrad's sword until
it made contact with Xirin's neck, much in the same way Swift-Strike had taken
down Wiltig. Golan, however, chose to take the direct attack approach.
In one pass, Golan dodged Brockram's sword and sunk his sword deep
into the back of Brockram's neck. Timult Balvanz faired no better, and
in one final blow, Kullvox broke the knight's facial visor and in turn the
knight's skull. It had only taken less than a minute, but all of the
remaining usurpers to King Ulmerad had been totally destroyed. Garalt
quickly ran over to Alyia who was now waiting by her father.
"Are you all right, my love?" Garalt
asked quickly, no longer caring that her father was within ear shot.
"Yes, I am, thanks to Demonclaw," Alyia smiled softly.
"And me too!" Greylen cheered from the distance, running
to meet back up with the group.
"Garalt," Ulmerad said softly, "Haleron is still out
there."
"Yes, your Majesty, I shall find and dispatch of him
quickly. I will not fail you," Garalt said sternly.
"But how, Love? Haleron is on horseback," Alyia
said.
"Hillsbrad!" Garalt called out, "I'll be taking your
mount, I'll bring her back in one piece!" Garalt did not wait for any
sort of answer from the knight. He quickly ran to the horse and mounted
it.
