Their precise movements and strategic maneuvers captivate the audience's attention. The atmosphere is electric with excitement as spectators marvel at their agility and precision. Behind the scenes, we catch glimpses of other participants such as Corporal Trumpeter Golding from the Kassassin Lions, who stands ready to sound his bugle for each round. Meanwhile, Macpherson oversees the proceedings while Purvess carefully handles a box of tools used during these combative displays.

It serves as a testament to both physical prowess and strategic thinking required in combat situations.
