A horn blew from above as Lucian noticed that two Orcs were now upon him. From either side they came and each of them slammed their weapons down upon his person. Lucian quickly defended against the weapon that looked the lightest, which bought him a gouge as the heavier weapon gave a narrow stab into his side. Far deeper did this attack reach than what the goblins were capable of and primal fear threatened to wash over Lucian.
Quickly his blade moved and sliced into the leather pants of the orc who had injured him. Whatever his weapon was now easily dug through the flesh armor of the orc and tumbled the great beast upon the ground. Lucian turned his attention to the other, only to feel the dying orc dig the cleaver into his back leg as he assumed the orc was not killed by the second and third ranks.
Lucian wondered as he blocked an attack from the orc facing him. A risky look to see that on both sides of him there was not a single Man-At-Arms. He wondered if he had failed to rotate where they were. Only then reason struck him that those he was fighting side by side with had fallen and the rest could not cover for them.
For the last half minute of battle Lucian had been fighting among the corpses of both orc and man.
From the corner of his vision Lucian watched as the Knight who was poised upon the steed fell. Without the Peasants defending his flanks the Orcs were able to force him to demount. Realization that belonged to a seasoned warfighter came upon Lucian as he knew that those that were behind him were about to make a full route!
Yet he had not yet lost. Without fear Lucian gave a mighty slice and according to the dwarf used all his strength to cut into their flesh. A brutal display of might that was much more like an orc than a man, Lucian had severed the torso and head of the respending standing and crawling orc.
He could see them crawling towards him now. Those orcs that had fallen were replaced with three as with every orc Lucian killed others realized just how much more of a fight he was putting on than the rest.
It was a moment for his life, Lucian realized. He just needed to make it work!
>Fight for the fallen Knight
>Rouse the others to continue the fight.
>Make a stand, make a pile of corpses.
