The Knights from Earth had learned a trick or two and decided to test the Knights of Chung, first hand.
King Robert was anxious to learn the fate of his surrounding farms and small hamlets and approved the Knights plans.

In the training arena, they had simulated Chungs tactics using their battle square.
When a student Knight would charge at them from the front, they would stop and turn in all four directions.
No one attacking from either side was able to get through.

The Knights from Earth, felt that the students weren't quite ready yet, as their armor had no protection from the arrows of Chungs archers and decided that they would go on a probing mission alone, to test their new tactic.
This was to be an early morning expedition, while the sun was at their backs.

The Knights had not traveled more than three kilometers when they came to the first of the ravaged farms.
The early morning sun cast eerie shadows over the burnt landscape and what remained of farm houses and outbuildings. The wind was still and there were no sounds. They could smell the unmistakable odor of death as they got closer.
The Knights looked at each other and nodded, all felt the presence of something about to happen.
