[ WP ] A sequence from an RTS game , from the perspective of the units .

`` DRAW!!!'' 
 
 The longbowman notched his arrow, focused on the order prepared to come. The Franks had proven resilient so far. Hoping to convert some of the enemy forces, the monks were sent in first. Few listened to the words of the holy men and the few turn-cloaks were slaughtered before they could abandon the ranks. The monks were then chased down and butchered before they could return to the safety of the archers. 
 
 The bowman looked at the scene in front of him. Several hundred enemies were lined in position ready to strike. He knew the Britons had much more range than the throwing axeman of the Franks, but the cavaliers at the side could crash down on them after the first volley. It was a stalemate by every means and neither side seemed eager to spend their ranks. 
 
 In the distance a war horn sounded off. Both sides began to generate some confusion as the horn did not appear to come from either of the two forces. 
 
 In an instant flaming pitch and boulders began striking both armies. 
 
 `` FIRE!'' shouted the commander but the arrows would offer little protection to the horde approaching over the hill. Both armies sounded horns of retreat and began to flee in their respective directions. 
 
 The Byzantines had arrived. Fresh from their battle with the Teutons and clearly victorious in that endeavor. In unison their cavalry routed the fleeing Franks and Britons. 
 
 The bowman drew one last arrow and fired, but all was lost.
