The grumbling got louder. Soon grey ponies with shrunk pupils, clad in armor and weapons were running down the field. "Move!" Sand said, before jumping out of the way of one.
Sand ran at one of the ponies, and made a clean cut right through the stomach with his sword. However, the pony didn't seem to be affected by it. In fact, the cut healed itself almost instantly. "What? That was a clean cut! How is he still standing?"
"I think they might be reanimated corpses! And look at the coloring and pupils! They must be bound to Discord's will somehow!"
Sand flew up, then closed his wings, coming straight down, blade first. He impaled a corpse, and shadowy mist spilled out of it as it vanished. "Aim for the head!"
"Got it!", knight said, holding his sword with two hooves & decapitated another, cleaving into a third's face
Sand ran at the last one, jumped, and planted a device on it's back mid-jump. When he landed, the pony erupted into flames, and vanished.
"Incendiary Grenade. Basically, when you prime it, there's a timer that starts ticking down. When the timer reaches zero, friction causes oil inside the device to ignite." Sand said, while sheathing his sword.
"Much easier to carry around too. Now, let's rendezvous with our agent. Oracle said he would be in a nearby tavern." Sand said.
