The impact at C6 landed with an ugly, uneven sound.
Clean hits had a shape Ty could understand. Lance into armor. Fire against ice. A piece giving way because another piece had paid enough to take it.
This was uglier than that in every useful way.
The Hellfire Marauder drove into the Sapphire Cavalier while the Gilded Sentinel's wall pushed back from the side. Fire struck the knight. Gold struck the fire. Frost ran through both of them and turned the square into a grinding mess of force that had nowhere to go.
Ty felt the Marauder's lance bite through the guard.
He also felt the wall take the best part of it.
"Push through the guard before the knight resets itself."
The Marauder leaned in. Its skeletal mount shoved one burning hoof into the frost and used the other to drag its weight forward. The lance scraped along the Cavalier's breastplate, tearing off a strip of blue armor before the point slid toward the damaged leg.
Aldric paid the Sentinel without looking away from C6.
