What is the main idea of this passage?
from morte d’arthur by sir thomas malory

and so they met as their pointment was and were agreed and accorded thoroughly. and wine was fetched and they drank together. right so came an adder out of a little heathbush, and it stung a knight in the foot. and so when the knight felt him so stung, he looked down and saw the adder. and anon he drew his sword to slay the adder, and thought none other harm. and when the host on both parties saw that sword drawn, then they blew beams, trumpets, horns, and shouted grimly. and so both hosts dressed them together. and king arthur took his horse and said, “alas, this unhappy day! ” and so rode to his party, and sir mordred in like wise.

The knight draws out his sword to kill the snake and the fight starts.

Explanation:

To understand the passage fully, we should return to what has happened before - Sir Mordred and Arthur met up, but both told their parties that if someone from the other party is seen drawing up a sword, that means they are trying to cheat.

In this passage, we see that, when they met, the snake showed up, stung a knight and he drew out a sword to kill it. But when other people saw this, they assumed it's a start of fraud and called for a battle, so the battle cry started with the trumpets and horns.

In the end, both Sir Mordred and King Arthur returned to their parties, sad for a fact that they have to fight.
