CESTVS -The Roman Fighter- - Season 1 - Eps 10: Quiet Groundwork
A close-range fight forces Cestvs up against the wall. Not only does he have nowhere to run, but Cestvs unfortunately injured his ankle when Felix's powerful blows forced him to the ground. "If I can't retreat, then I'll counterattack here!" His efforts appear ineffective as he barely evades Felix's tempestuous blows, waiting for an opportunity to strike back. "No matter how big my disadvantage, as long as there's something I can do, I won't give up!" Just then, Felix's attacks begin to change, and Cestvs finds his golden opportunity.
