The Lions fight on with growing dread, as more and more of their number fall to the Xain.
The Xains fight on.
*Yet again, the Dragon Knights emerge and attack in the Hammerhead formation, though only long enough to harry the Xain, retreating when the Xain get to close to the castle.*

The Xains fight on.
The Lions keep fighting against the odds. Their retreat gradually slows due to the growing number of wounded men. Demiu rides along the lines, smashing Xain.
{JAMMERS! -RuleJJ- ONLY!} One more thing - would it be possible for Demiu to duel with a Xain general or champion of some sort? I'd quite like him to fight (preferably smashing or wounding but getting badly injured in the process) someone quite important. If this would ruin the plot, I can just make up a champion NPC like LegoBuilder did on Oruthal.

{JAMMERS! -Shamrock (and LegoAgentFigure)- ONLY!} Absolutely. That fits very well with what I have planned myself. I have a character ready. Ideally, I'd like for the champion to be captured and then talk to Lexos at some point. Call out the challenge whenever you're ready.

Seeing that the Dragon Knights aren't initiating a full on attack, the Xain focus most of their forces on the Lions, though they have soldiers ready for when the Dragons attack again.

The Xain start to notice strange things happen when they target him. Their sword will go slightly to the left, their bowstring will come undone, or their helmet will spin and block their vision. (Tier 1 spells). After a short time, Demiu withdraws to recover his strength.

Seeing that the Dragon Knights aren't initiating a full on attack, the Xain focus most of their forces on the Lions, though they have soldiers ready for when the Dragons attack again.
*The Dragon Knights continue using Hammerhead Tactics, keeping the Xain line broken and nearly defenseless. 15 of their 25 Archers come out and begin firing upon the Xain lines.*
OOC: I'm not sure you know what Hammerhead tactics are. Hammerhead is when you have a number of cavalry, and then split them up. The first group attacks, breaks the line, and retreats. The second group, as the first dis-engages, attacks in the same manner. The third does the same, but after the second one disengages, and the fourth acts in the same manner. By the time the fourth (or fifth or sixth, or whatever) is done attacking, the first group is ready to take up the mantel of the group attacking as the opponent retreats.

The crumbling ranks of the Lion Knights part, to reveal Demiu and his escort riding out, clad in shining armour and carrying banners emblazoned with a roaring golden lion. Horns sound, sending out a challenge to the Xain Fleet. Demiu's voice, amplified by magic, follows,
"Come forth, Xain! Let one of your number come forth, and face me! Come forth and meet me in single combat, if ye be not too cowardly!"

IC: The Xain will ignore the Dragon attacks, allowing them to easily break the line, while they continue attacking the Lions.
The ground erupts under the archers and any Dragon soldiers nearby them, sending chunks of earth flying at them and causing it to collapse under them.

The cavalry stop their attack as one of their number rides forth. He is tall and thin; a web of wrinkles lines his face and his gray hair is swept back. He is clad in similar red and white uniform to the rest of the Xain, but a rearing unicorn is emblazoned in silver on his chest. "I will accept your challenge. Until one of us is the victor, my men will not fight yours. But I cannot speak for the foot soldiers. They are not under my command." It is clear from his tone that he finds this displeasing.
