There were several loud clashes of lances, on shields or armor.
Six Knights on the team from Earth had succeeded in dismounting their opposing Knight. Sir JonPop, Sir Remek and Sir Uberschwanz had remained mounted to watch for another charge. Sir Iguana was controlling their horses.
Sir Bret, Sir Stillwantmore and Sir Sonic were engaged in fighting six of the enemy. Sir Stud had already dispatched his foe and was watching the backs of his team.
It was over quickly and the opposing Knights from the Chung hoard, were dead.

The Knights remounted and remained still, listening for any sounds. There were none, except for the heavy breathing of the Knights. It appeared that the attack was over, for the moment and that the enemy had slipped away in the darkness.

They looked at each other and were able to smile and raise their right hand and gauntleted fist and shout,
OOHRAH!!.
Sir JonPop asked, "Is anyone hurt?" And received a, "Negative, Sir."

Sir JonPop looked at Sir Iguanas shield and saw that it had four small holes where arrows had simply been kept from penetrating. On his own thigh armor, an arrow was barely hanging from the metal. He picked it loose and looked at the tip. Yes, it was steel tipped. The substance that Sir Merlin had applied to all of the Knights' armor and shields, had repelled the steel tip.

The man from King Roberts, that had been in the middle of the Knights battle square, was unhurt and sat on his horse in amazement at the skill the the Knights had shown.
He dismounted and walked to the nearest dead Knight and lifted the visor. He said, "Sir Knights, I have never seen a Knight killed in battle, I have been around jousting games all of my life, but no one had ever been more than just bruised or cut.

That was an amazing display of bravery and King Robert will be told of this.
Sir JonPop said, "What are you called, Son?" "I am called Prince Robert the XXVIII, Sir Knight and I am the Son of King Robert"
Sir JonPop was taken aback at this and said, "Why would your Father send you on such a dangerous task to meet us and take us to the Castle, by yourself?"
Prince Robert said, "My Father said I must do this alone, to prove my bravery and whether I would be worthy of your training to become a Knight."
Sir JonPop said, "You have my vote Prince Robert," and the knights that had over heard the conversation said, "Aye."
