"Wǒmen shòudào gōngjí!" (We are under attack!) Merlin yelled and soon everybody woke up. Merlin grabbed his bow and placed an arrow on the bow and pulls back the string, he then released it and killed one of the attackers. It was so fast that Arthur barely noticed it until the man fell of his horse. Soon a second one died. More and more arrows hit the attackers.
"How did they find us?" Vi asked when he climbed the platform and stood besides Merlin. Alatan, Léi, Greg, Gwaine, Lancelot, Leon, Faun and Elyan following. They stood next to each other.
"We have a traitor in our midst." Merlin answered.
"Who?" Alatan asked.
"You!" Merlin yelled at Alatan and he stumbled back. Alatan looked away and looked Léi, who had hold his breath and now released it.
"No, I already knew that there was a traitor and I told Morgana that she needed to go the other way, to the east."
"Then... Morgana would walk into Sekret territory." Merlin realised and Alatan nodded. Merlin knew when his friend was lying, and now, he isn't.
"I'm sorry." Merlin sighed and Alatan nodded, smiling.
Suddenly they heard yelling behind them and they turned around when men from inside the camp where attacking others.
"Let's go and kick some ass." Merlin said before climbing down and stabbing one of the attackers from behind.
Arthur and the others followed, their weapons clanging against swords and fighting to survive.
---
"Retreat!" Morgana yelled after a while, and her troops retreated.
Merlin looked around and sighed at the many dead bodies laying around them. He looked around and noticed that there were only hundred survivors from the thousands that were here before the attack.
"Where's Alatan?" Faun suddenly asked and they looked around. There he was, laying in a puddle of blood, his amber eyes staring forward. His chest wasn't moving anymore.
"He's... dead." Greg said, kneeling next to Alatan's body, putting his fingers on his neck, but when he couldn't feel anything, his eyes narrowed and he screamed, tears streaming down his face.
Merlin looked at the other knights, tears glistening in his eyes. He noticed how it affected the others and he sighed.
