The victorious gentry ran with a cry of joy, some to the casks,

others to tear booty from the enemy; Robak alone did not share

their exultation. Hitherto he had not fought himself (for the

canons forbid a priest to take part in combat), but as an

experienced man he had been giving counsel, had run about the

battlefield in all directions, and with his glance and his arm

had urged on and guided those who were fighting. And now he

shouted for them to assemble around him, attack Rykov, and

complete the victory. Meanwhile by a messenger he informed Rykov

that if he would lay down his arms he would preserve his life;

but, in case the surrender of arms were delayed, Robak gave

orders to surround the remnant and cut them down.
