Will this stuff will never end?

Plate 32

Here we see a strike in quarta to the throat that requires very little actual movement. It's done to a disengage from the sword and an attempt to parry by the adversary.

He's in high terza with his dagger crossed at the beginning of the forte of his sword.

Stingere in terza on the outside and hold your dagger high.

When he disengages under your sword, attempting to parry your sword with his dagger, you attack. Bring your dagger from high to low towards your left side to parry his sword, and disengage your sword under his dagger, and strike him. These all actions from you need to happen on the same tempo.

The picture shows an attack in quarta to the face, but really, just strike him wherever seems convenient, it's not like it matters much here.
