"The flanking tactic worked!"
"They haven't spotted us!"
"Cut the chatter, prepare to attack!" shouted the lead knight, leveling his lance to prepare for a charge.

Just as the warhorses began to accelerate, suddenly, a cracking sound echoed, and an Ice Wall rose straight up from the long street. The Dark Knights only then noticed that behind the gray-clad people stood row upon row of Elementalists and Magic Guided Conductors.
