Tournament (1080)

[TheFlax]

As Gaspard acknowledged his lord's word, looking forward to a duel, Hermant de Mauvoisin took charge. With a confident smile he shouted to the closest knights on his team.

"I think they have made the same opening move as us - now it gets tactical!"

"Chevaliers! Those from Duke de Champagne rightwards, form up on Alphonse. Close ranks!"

"Gaspard, your Duke wishes to meet you - it would be rude to keep him waiting! Loup and Eloi - wake up! Follow Gaspard!"

"Strike high, medium or low, but strike hard!"

With a battle cry, "Pour Bourgogne and honneur." Gaspard immediately joined Hermant and Loup in surrounding Raymond the Provence who was unable to defend himself from this coordinated attack. Desperately, he weaved his sword in a defensive pattern while retreating, but each of his opponents managed to land a solid blow. Weary from this encounter, Raymond unfortunately found himself still locked in combat with Hermant. (Both Cecil XIX and econ21 cannot move this round)

Further to the right, Alain de Rohan, following the example of his fellow Duke, charged headlong into the red line. Unfortunately for the bold Alain, Raoul de Chatillon was instantly joined by Hugues de Champagne. The Duke of Bretagne put up a valiant struggle, but in the end both knights of the red teams managed to land a few solid blow, pushing him back. Nevertheless, both the Duke of Bretagne and the Duke of Lorraine remained locked in combat. (Both AussieGiant and OverKnight cannot move this round)

Next to Alain the Rohan, Simon de Montpierre also charged the red team, but found himself only opposed by one red knight, Thomas de Saint-Armand. The young man was apparently unprepared for the brutal attack as Simon nearly dismounted him with his lance in his ferocious charge. Thomas, overwhelmed, fell back without pursuit.
