Solomon retrieves the sword to find two Rodis aiming Dainsleif at him when Richtoffen appears to distract them. Manfred takes advantage of the distraction to approach them; once close, he surprises the Rodis reloading the Dainsleif so he doesn't hesitate to eliminate them. Manfred decides to sheath the sword to take out the knives; once ready, he charges directly at the cockpit of a Rodi, Richtoffen appears to fight against the remaining Rodi.

The Hexa MS drops its knife. Manfred grabs it, pulls the Hexa towards him, and cuts off the arm holding the Tomahawk. Then he cuts off the remaining arm, leaving a wounded Hexa MS as a result.
