As the knights continued their charge towards the squadron, they spotted the interceptors as they spun around to... intercept them. As the two ships quickly approached, two knights leapt from the chariot, a horse for each disappearing as the two left, a horse appearing underneath them moments after. It would be hard to tell potentially given the distance, but the two side runners both carried large shields with them.
As the two lone knights started to play chicken with the oncoming fighters, 4 of the remaining knights raised their hands skywards as a large ball of light started to form above the chariot.
