Ronaldo suddenly turns his horse around and gallops towards the female officer instead, bewildering his adversary. When the guard finally realizes what's going on he only has time to shout "watch out madam!" before Ronaldo slices at the officer with his blade.

The officer, a seasoned veteran, was able to glean by instinct that something was wrong by the thundering of hooves growing ever closer behind her, but is given a solid blow to the shoulder before she can react. Ronaldo feels a sense of resistance as his blow connects, and his not so sharp sword barely cleaves through the officer's cuirass, but the powerful force of the horse's momentum knocking her flying aside.

In the meantime, this act earns enough time for Harry and Joe to win their tussle with the musketeer on the ground, and Joe is able to secure the musketeer at gunpoint.

Brue attempts to create some distance with the all powerful dodge roll. Too bad he isn't an action game character and doesn't get any invincibility frames.

He is impaled in the leg by a bayonet and lets loose the howl of a wounded animal, before being seized.

Even though she is unfamiliar with horses, Ruru is able to, by sheer stroke of luck, unhitch the dead horse in record time. Unfortunately, the horse that is still remaining seems to have injured its leg after being dragged down by its partner, and moves extremely slowly.

After commandeering the carriage, Ruru turns to see that Brue has already been apprehended, and that a smoke bomb wouldn't probably help him much now.

Pepe first charges forward, flailing like a fish out of water, but then realizes his own inadequacies and in turn now follows someone who seems to know what they are doing, Ronaldo. Unfortunately for Pepe, Ronaldo is able to utilize four legs, while Pepe only has two, leaving him struggling to catch up.
