Midnighter sees the knights streaming toward them, horses screaming, swords out. The lucky thing about this shitty situation is how big the horses are. He can use that.
He's at a disadvantage on the ground when his opponent is on a horse, he could figure that out without the computer screaming warnings through his cerebral cortex. Where the computer comes in is all the ways it suggests he can shift the balance back into his favor. In two seconds he has one hundred scenarios, in three he has five hundred, and by the time the crusaders are in range, he's picked his favorite.
Charging forward, Midnighter dodges left at the last minute, and sinks his sword into the horse's flank. Unlike last time, he uses the sword as leverage, spinning around to climb onto the back of the horse. A moment after, the crusader slumps forward, and Midnighter has the reigns. He stops next to his suit-loving friend.
He's grinning like a fiend as the other knight circles them, swearing in Occitan. Midnighter extends his hand, "get on if you want to live."
