The Viridian Knights, Mance Blackwater, Trevor Gray, Reinhardt Alshultz, the tactician Jamison Silvrest and their Kommandant, the ex-knight and Field Kommandant Jannik Sinclair were hidden in a good spot, marked by the tactician to take down a caravan of deathlings, kill them and steal their supplies, they are Coen Rebels. They thought they would just find a simple caravan and win easily, that is what they thought...
The proud Knights and Jamison saw a Caravan approaching, there were two men riding it, easy kill. But then they noticed something, the two men riding the carriage carried full plate Viridian Armor.
Silvrest jumped out from his spot, doing a synchronized attack with Trevor towards the two deathlings. Jamison, using his agility, managed to stab his target on a weak spot of the neck, killing him. But since Trevor was not agile, the man dodged Trevor's halberd, jumping out of the caravan and taking out his sword and shield.
After that, the other knights and Jannik jumped out of their hideout towards the remaining deathling. The man blocked all of their attacks multiple times, the shield, sword and armor helped him. The man was truly a champion and there was no doubt that he was a Paladin in life and resurrected, becoming a corrupt Paladin. The lack of doubts was because of his fight style and skill. The corrupt one kept 10s blocking the strikes of the other knights until he was too tired, after such Mance Blackwater finished him with a stab between his eyes.
They were going to enter the caravan to check the supplies, when Mance was going to enter the caravan, an axe came out of it towards his head, a hoar coming with it. The axe slashed at his right cheek, ripping flesh out of it, if it would heal or not is not known yet. Mance shouted as he stumbled backwards, raising his shield above his chest in reaction, he was lucky to raise it, because such blocked the Skagger's second axe.
Trevor saw Mance getting attacked and was going to thrust his halberd towards the expert Berserker's back before getting his halberd parried by another halberd, Trevor looked towards the other man, which came out of the caravan, he was a deathling with Viridian Armor, obviously an expert because of the skill. Upon looking inside the caravan, Trevor saw that there were heads inside the caravan, all the warriors had blood on their armor and weapons, it became clear that the caravan was not a supply one, and is one transporting a group of experts!
The Viridian deathling came out of the caravan to fight Trevor and they fought, during 10s they kept blocking and attacking, the deathling tiring Trevor, clearly being more skilled than him, but Trevor was fighting well against the corrupt Paladin. Seeing Trevor getting tired, Reinhardt came to Trevor's side, going to fight the deathling with him.
Meanwhile, one more Viridian left the caravan, Jamison and Jannik were charging towards him to fight. Upon seeing Jannik he stopped, raising his helmet which covered his face to look at the Kommandant.
Jannik stopped charging, raising his right hand and opening his mouth in surprise, seeing Jamison towards the mysterious knight made Jannik shout to him "Jamison! Stop!" Upon hearing such, the Silvrest stopped, confused.
While such happened, Mance continued to get beaten up. The raged deathling kept smashing the Blackwater's shield with his axes repetitively, most than likely damaging a lot his shield. Mance was trying to keep on his feet and had the clever idea of pushing his shield towards the axes, causing the axes to be stuck in the shield.
The Berserker kept his grip as Mance threw his shield towards the left, causing the deathling to stumble in that direction, giving the knight the chance of thrusting his sword towards the Berhednar's chest, and he did so. The warrior did not even react upon having the blade impaled inside him, he released his axes and jumped on Mance, completely ignoring his wound fearlessly. The Northern was on top of Blackwater, repetitive punching him on the helmet,a part of the helmet even mended. The Knight tried to wiggle and twist his sword, but the north one was an unstoppable ragging killing machine.
Reinhardt and Trevor kept fighting the Paladin and they seemed to be winning. The Paladin was getting very exhausted, the same thing was happening with the two, but the deathling was clearly much more exhausted. Reinhardt saw Mance's attacker and rushed towards him, leaving Trevor to duel with his corrupt version.
Jannik was staring at the dead Viridian without the mask when Silvrest stopped charging. The deathling was Jannik's father, the living Sinclair said "Father..." and the dead Sinclair replied, "Son..." While that happened, another man jumped out of the caravan, this one wearing full leather armor and wielding two arming swords. The man surprise attacked the distracted Jannik, thrusting one of his arming swords towards a place between the plates with great skill and agility towards Jannik's belly, the other blade coming towards his neck... And then the deathling's sword was parried by Jamison, but he couldn't parry the one coming to his belly. Jannik was completely off guard when he was stabbed, his father kept looking at him when he was hit, with a surprised expression, how many questions he had to ask... The one which stabbed Jannik backed away after, his agility was the one of an expert Turall warrior.
Meanwhile, Mance was loosing his consciousness and his helmet getting damaged, but then the ragging one got surprised when a blade was impaled on him, it was a long sword which was thrust towards his back, breaking his spine. Reinhardt was the wielder of such weapon. The deathling jumped forward, out of the Blackwater to release the sword from him before falling on the floor, shaking and shouting like an enraged animal, he didn't feel pain at all but couldn't move with a broken spine. Reinhardt helped Mance up.
Trevor was having an epic duel with the Corrupt Paladin. No one landed a single hit for 20 seconds, after such time, they both were tired, but the corrupt one was more. Trevor managed to swing his halberd towards the expert's chest, causing the man to fall on the floor, wounded. Screaming in pain.
Trevor stood victorious but he as well couldn't properly fight anymore, being overexhausted.
Jamison was fighting the Turall, but then Jannik came back to his senses, shouting a military instruction. Upon hearing the Kommandant's voice, Trevor and Reinhardt rushed towards him, grabbing the wounded fighter to carry him far from the battle while Jamison and Mance went to fight the Blade and the Corrupt Sinclair. After they were at a distance, Mance and Silvrest sprinted towards their group, everyone getting in a line to a defensive position, even Jannik as they backed away. The deathlings saw no further point in continuing the battle, they went back to the caravan and the knights away. Jannik however, couldn't stop looking at his father while he left, but he had to take care of his wound.
The knights were not sure if the mission was sucessful or failed, they did kill elite soldiers... They fought in a real battle against their dead kin. That was truly a Battle Of Experts.
