Chapter 2 - Before the Fight

Kyle now content with the plan to attack the fort from 3 angles is finding something to do while they wait to start the plan tomorrow. He looks around and finds a group of some of his men fighting each other. He approaches them and sees what's going on.

Kling, Clank

"They're fighting to see who is stronger." says a man on Kyle's left.

"So is it just between the two of them." Kyle asks.

"Nah, we're taking turns to see who is the strongest." says the man two men away from Kyle.

Kling, Clank, ahhh

"Ha, seems like I won again!" says the man in the middle after making the other man he was fighting fall.

"Who calls next!" another man said.

"I'll go." Kyle says calmly.

Kyle walks towards the center of the circle formed by his men. Slowly he unsheathed his sword revealing an silver backsword with a modified grip that is long enough for just his two hands. 

"Are you sure about this?" the man Kyle is about to fight says while flashing his Boar Sword for everyone to see.

"Of course. A few scratches wouldn't hurt." Kyle said confidently.

"Are you ready then." the man says.

"Yes." Kyle replies.

Holding the sword's grip by his right hand, Kyle quickly puts it just above his left shoulder and lunges forward while his arm reaches its full length straight for the mans diaphragm.

Quickly the man blocks it with his sword, flinging Kyle's sword towards his right. The man holds his sword with both hands and lifts it up. Then with great speed forces it down.

Kyle swiftly blocks it by pulling his arm back and thrashing his sword into the man's sword. The mans sword was lifted into the air again. Knowing the man was going to swing down again, Kyle rolls to his right. Kyle picks up his sword with both hands and swings it from its right to left. But the man instead of swing straight down he turns his body and their swords clash making a huge spark.

BOOM!

They both fall back. Kyle stands up first and rushes towards the man. He lifts his sword up right above his right shoulder with both hands. He swings down but the man on the ground swings his sword from his left side to his right side pushing Kyle's sword back into the air. 

Within the short amount of time the man gets up just barely evading the second swing down from Kyle. The man swings his sword from his left to right aiming for Kyle's large intestine but Kyle blocks it with his sword pointing down. Kyle flings his sword upward sending the man's sword into the air. In response the man swings downward but Kyle parries it sending his sword back into the air. 

Kyle lunges at the man with his arm fully extended aiming for the neck but misses by his sword being right to the right of his neck.

"I won, right?" Kyle says with a smile on his face.

"Yeah." The man replies.

"You're strong, what is your name again?" Kyle asks.

"Cornelius, my name is Cornelius." The man replies.

"Alright you guys keep having fun I'm going to do something else now." Kyle says as he walks away.

"Man that was tiring." Kyle says to himself as he keeps on walking.

After walking around the camp for a few hours he goes back to his tent. He takes off his jacket front and sits down, hands on the ground behind his body and looking up. He thinks to himself if he should start sleeping or stay wake longer. He decides to go to sleep so he can feel well rested as he is going to command his army tomorrow morning.
