The Knight was in a silver armor that looked to have been worth more than anything Lucian had seen within his lifetime. Three of the brutes were bringing their cleavers down upon the warrior yet none of them could pierce the armor of the blessed warrior of the Lady. Sword in hand the Knight drove it into the necks of one of the beasts, his armor taking the blow that would have killed Lucian to accomplish such a killing.
It was then that Lucian watched one of the Orcs take him from the side in a grapple. The Peasant quickly realized that the Knight had lost his arm to these mortal damning weapons. The Orc quickly overwhelmed the side of the Knight where there should have been a shield, driving him down to the ground with a thunk. The Knight was no fool though and quickly twisted his body to slam the sword into the neck of his would-be killer with a bloody vengeance.
It was then that the Orc’s body fell upon the Realm Knight, pinning him.
“LORD!” Lucian shouted as he bashed the shaft of his scythe into the face of an Orc that was getting in his way, “Morr preserve you!”
He shouted as several of the Orcs came down upon him. Lucian did not bother to watch more as he barrelled himself through the Orcs that were getting in his way. For that he received several shallow stabs from those around. The creatures confused why a human was among their ranks and who was coming at them from behind instead of infront of them.
Lucian kept his balance long enough to fall right into one of the Orcs that were slicing into the Knight. The creature’s heavy build allowed it to keep its feet rooted to the ground, but that also meant that Lucian was able to use the creature as a balance to keep himself upright. The ugly greenskin tried to turn over and slice into Lucian but the Peasant was already digging his scythe into the crotch of the Orc with a yell.
He could feel it, the blade passing through the muscles and into the hip joint. Tendons severing that would have kept such a limb intact, the scythe found a way to dig completely through the joint and exit the other side.
Where once there was several Orcs there were now two, both of them dumbfounded at the appearance of Lucian. Then one of them had their neck stabbed by a longsword that must have almost reached Lucian’s stomach in length. The other tried to turn and kill the still fighting Knight but Lucian was already upon him, stabbing the best in the chest with a sickening slice.
Lucian pulled the weapon and was about to reach for the nobleman until the man yelled, “CUT OFF THE NECK!”
Automatically Lucian turned around and reaped the neck of the Orc. Surprise coated the face of Lucian as he saw the creature was raising its cleaver in an attempt at stabbing Lucian’s back.
