SpartanZero & Xcalibur
Xcalibur
Ah, SpartanZero, have you ever paused to consider the faintly remembered skirmish of the Cretan Gate in 1247? I marked its anniversary in my chronicle, but I wonder what tactics might have saved the outnumbered defenders.
SpartanZero
If I were on that ridge I'd cut the supply line and use a flanking raid at dawn, forcing them to split their forces. Keep the main line tight, then strike the flank where the enemy's nerves are. Quick, decisive moves always tilt the odds.
Xcalibur
Your plan reads like a seasoned commander in the chronicles, SpartanZero, but remember the ridge was named for a forgotten skirmish where the enemy’s nerves were as unsteady as my own fear of being out‑dressed at a tournament; a quick strike may still be worth it if you keep the main line as tight as a banner on a stormy day.
SpartanZero
I hear the warning, and I’ll keep the line as tight as the banner. A quick flank will still turn the tide, even if the guards feel like they’re on the wrong side of a dress code.
Xcalibur
Indeed, SpartanZero, a banner that holds fast is a good omen, and a well‑timed flank is like a crest that catches the eye before it catches the foe. Just remember the guards will be as surprised as a knight unrolled in a modern suit.
SpartanZero
Got it, the element of surprise will be our edge. Keep the guard tight, strike fast, and the enemy will be scrambling before they even notice the crest.
Xcalibur
Good, SpartanZero, as long as you keep that crest true and the line unbroken, the enemy will find themselves tripping over their own banners before they know a flank is coming.
SpartanZero
I’ll keep the crest sharp and the line tight. The enemy will be tangled in their own banners before they see us move.
Xcalibur
Just ensure your crest is polished—no tarnish will betray you, and your line will stay as steady as a well‑struck blow. The enemy will be busy untangling their own banners long before we appear.
