Arthur did not invoke the right of single combat. The battle commences...
"...if we shall fall, then we will fall with the vision of a peaceful land,"
Arthur shouted as he marched up and down the lines of loyal soldiers behind him.
"Where no one will have to fall ever again in the pursuit of a time when all men are equal."
Merlin shifted in his stolen armour to see more clearly through the visor of his helmet.
"Today we will bring victory, for Camelot!" he finished.
"For Camelot!" the ranks chorused and raised their arms. Merlin moved forward in the infantry with the king amung them. He had refused to join his fellow knights on horseback, just as he had refused to allow Merlin to fight alongside them.
The knights and Arthur alike, though, had forgotten that he already had the armour in his possession that could pass him off as a soldier.
The servant now marched unnoticed into the field of battle to protect his king from harm.
