Evelyn fought her way through the chaos, her sword flashing in the sunlight as she moved. She caught sight of Rowan, who was coordinating the archers from a vantage point nearby. With arrows flying over the heads of their comrades, he was directing fire to target key enemy leaders, sowing discord among the king's troops.

He nodded, his brow furrowed with concentration. "I'll signal the archers to target their captains. If we can take them out, the rest will lose their direction!"
