- The king makes a simple command, though: Kill them all.

- The men call out the names of the saints as they go. A weak attack comes from Saladin's camp once they become aware of what is going on, but the Crusaders keep them away. Nigel and Rannulf are among them. After a while, though, Rannulf leaves the field, shaking his head.
