Harry stood on a wooden platform next to Artoria it was about 15 feet high to allow them to see across the battlefield. The battlefield was a large open feild with trees surrounding it on three sides. A river made up the last boundry.

A helicopter flew overhead. They'd be using it to record the whole battle. Seig and a few other students were here too. All strategists and protection for Artoria.

Saber had on mostly blue with silver armor. Her golden sword was in her hamd. It was mesmerizing.

Achilles and Jeanne were in charge of the front lines. Karma was lurking around somewhere, awaiting when he would be given the chance to jump in the fighting.

There had to be a few hundred students on this feild. The biggest Cavalry Challenge in the schools history.

On the other side of the feild, Ozymandias sat on a golden throne. Karna stood nearby, prepared to defend their chosen king. Gilgamesh wasn't happy with that choice. But he would have to make do with that decision.

---------------------------------------------------------

"We were right." Harry analyzed the battlefield, "we have the numbers, especially with all the first years we picked up."

"True. If the front lines do well, our plan will play out perfectly." Seig understood the situation well.

Harry smiled at his classmate.

"Achilles is our most prevalent fighter, but..." He paused for a moment as several students rushed out of the woods and took position behind their vangaurd, "As Karma said, even Emiya Shirou can add something to our plan."

Those students all drew back bows and let loose. The battle had begun. Several third years were taken out by the storm of arrows.

All weapons were coated in a strange magic. Everyone could feel pain but it couldn't kill you. Several medical professionals were nearby, just incase.

The second years charged forward. Achilles was at ths head of the formation, charging straight through the enemy lines. Jeanne was right behind him, and everyone else followed suit.

It didn't take long for the battlefield to seem like a confusing mess of students brawling. But to Harry, who had EX ranked observation skills, he could tell that their plan was working perfectly. Just as expected, Achilles crashed straight through the middle of them. He was currently carving a path through their formation.

But something was bugging him. Where was Arthur Pendragon? Harry expected him to be on the front lines. It could throw off their entire plan.

On the battlefield, Achilles was smiling. He twirled his spear and used it to deflect a small blast of magic from who knows where.

"Yeah! Keep it coming!" He shouted over the battlefeild.

Achilles job was to take out ad many people as possible and eventually get Karna away from Ozymandias. He couldn't wait to fight someone who was considered to be one of the strongest in the school.

"Be careful, Achilles! You'll need your strength!" Jeanne's flag pole sent a student flying.

"Yeah, Yeah." He sassed, "I know."

They both continued to charge forth.

---------------------------------------------------------

Ozymandias clenched his fists. They hadn't expected the second years to use arrows. They hadn't expected them to be so brave as to use a direct charge. He calmed himself before speaking.
