“Even in their armor, the Romans were starting to gain on Solace. Nico cursed and raced after them. He didn’t want to kill other demigods if he could avoid it. Fortunately, he didn’t need to. He tripped the Roman in the back and the others turned. Nico jumped into the crowd, kicking groins, smacking faces with the flat of his blade, bashing helmets with his pommel. In ten seconds, the Romans all lay groaning and dazed on the ground.” But your avoiding the fact that he took them by surprise.

No actually he only took one by surprise: "He tripped the Roman in the back and the others turned."
