"Percival? Why is he here? Where are the Queen's reinforcements?"
Just as Londinium was preparing to open its gates and launch an attack because of Percival's appearance, Woodwose naturally discovered Percival's forces launching a surprise attack from the rear. This infuriated him, because under normal circumstances, Percival should never have been able to appear here.
"Lord Woodwose, enemies are attacking from the rear! Percival of the Round Table Army is slaughtering his way toward the rear of our main force! We have no time to reform our ranks, and the enemy army is biting at our backs! Lord Woodwose, you clearly said there would be no attack from behind!"
A Fang Clan soldier immediately reported the situation to Woodwose. Since they had never considered the possibility of enemies appearing behind them, the Fang Clan formation was instantly scattered by Percival's charge.
"How is that possible? Did he defeat Her Majesty's reinforcements in such a short time? Th-this is impossible. They absolutely couldn't have done it."
Woodwose, who had been full of confidence that he could capture the Child of Prophecy and wash away the humiliation he had suffered at Tintagel, was now beginning to panic.
"But they truly appeared without a scratch. Our troops are already exhausted from forcibly assaulting the city, and the enemy outnumbers us. At this rate, our army will be surrounded. Lord Woodwose, what should we do now?" the soldier asked nervously.
"Surrounded? You said surrounded? Are you saying I'm to be trapped in the flames of war?" Woodwose demanded loudly.
While Woodwose was still agonizing over why the Queen's reinforcements had failed to appear, Percival immediately ordered his troops to suppress the Fang Clan. At the same time, soldiers led by Castor charged out from Londinium, attacking the Fang Clan from both front and rear.
