During the Marquesses's Peace the Steel Knights were impatient to wait for peace. They wanted to quickly drive off the forces of the dredded Jiri. They began to ride fast toward the city of Fon, where Jiri had landed.
After arriving in charging distance, the Steel Knights wasted no time. They galloped fast as wind toward the Fon city gate. However, Jiri was faster and his men very disciplined and organized. They formed a sturdy Spearwall under the gateway. The Knights crashed into the spearwall. This resulted in the first casualty wave to the Knights, however, the Spearmen began to encircle the closest Knights. This resulted in many dozen deaths to the Knights. The rest of the Knights withdrew from the battle into the nearby Red Forest.
