" fine fine " he said waveing his hands " but if he says no I might just kill him"

"Whatever works Alex." He turns to Rococo. "Do you mind if I call you Roc? Or Coco?" Diego asks her. He believes her name is a bit long so he much prefers giving her a nickname to simplify things a bit more.

Samus removed her mask, looking up at them. ''Amigo likes Coco!'' The young girl said, smiling at them, laughing and running for Diego to not scream on her.

Rococo looked between them and sighed. "Rococo is already an alias I came up with to hide myself... If you insist on another one, do whatever you please."

"Coco it is then." Diego says with a nod. "Now that we know who we're using to fight, let's discuss the placement of our units." The pikemen move into position (which is one single line), facing where the army might come from and dropping their pikes into the grass. The musketeers position themselves in front of the pikemen, their guns at the ready.

" I be no man for tactics " he said heading towards the door "

''Well, i dont need to listen.. oh wait.. i wasnt even going to..'' Samus said, giving herself a confused look, jumping off the wall and walking towards the door too.

Rococo sighed at them. "It is those that ignore battle plans that are the first to die, you know? How do you expect to take out the enemy if you don't know your comrades movements and actions."

" I have me axe and me booze don't ye worry bout me lassie " he said Turning his head at rococo

Diego suddenly feels a sense of hopelessness as they reject the idea of discussing their tactics further. He may be impulsive but, he isn't entirely a fool, which at this point, he believes both Alex and Samus are. He then sighs and looks at Rococo. "Okay, well... Got any other ideas?" Diego asks her.

''I like to back.. backstabb.. in the sha.. shadows..'' Samus said, playing around with her kunai and humming this little song and walking out. The young girl ran on roofs, looking around and continuing to run.

Rococo sighed the other two. "Unbelievable, they are." She looked at Diego. "It seems like a good formation, but without knowing what we are really up against, it's difficult to critique." She held her chin as she thought about it.

"Well, cavalry are most effective against ranged units. So with the musketeers in front, the general may be a bit too ambitious in taking out the ranged units, and send in a charge of heavy cavalry to break their formation. Once they get close enough, the Swiss will pull up their pikes, and impale the horses, sending the riders flying." Diego explains to her. He's confident that this plan might work for them.

"I would much rather not harm any of the horses if possible... So leave enemy Calvary to me. I'll pick the riders off one by one, they will be easy marks." She said with certainty. "And in that case, the pikes can surround the enemy general and take him out."

Diego looks worried. "I... I'm not sure about that. A single moving heavily armored chevalier is not that easy to kill, even with electric arrows. There will be many horseman on the field so taking them out one by one doesn't sound very practical. And pikes are meant for defence, there's no point in surrounding the enemy general with pikes if the remaining forces can easily out flank the pikemen." Diego says.

"Then how could we not harm the horses?" She thought about it strongly. "I'd feel really guilty if animals were harmed because of human's sins... It is not their fault for being involved in this."

Suddenly alaxzander bursts in to the bar looking more disheveled and ragged than before " the lord is dead " he says heading towards the cellar to get more alcohol " and before ye ask he was already dead when I got there "

Diego raises an eyebrow, whilst in a state of deep thought. After a few seconds, he comes up with what he wants to say. "Well, sorry Coco. But I'm afraid there's no way around this. I can't think of any other way for us to come out of this alive without harming the horses." Diego concludes. He hates to say it, but that's the truth.

Rococo looked really disappointed and then turned her attention to Alex. "Dead? As in killed?"

" nah the fat bastard had a heart attack " he says while opening a bottle of whine " died in his sleep"
