Lucian’s face was quickly covered in bile as upon arriving at the front line one of the orcs yelled in his face in whatever gutteral tongue the beasts used. Already his scythe was moving, slamming into the stomach of the Orc with enough force to send it a few inches back so that Lucian could settle his feet.
Quickly the creature charged him and Lucian had to raise his weapon up. The Scythe was a weapon that he could not use fully within this formation arm to arm with his fellow man yet he was able to gain enough room to slam the weapon down upon the neck of the creature. Green fluid sprayed across the field while the orc still stood swinging his weapon at Lucian.
The creature did not last long as two spears came from behind Lucian and each stabbed into the beast-leather tunic the creature wore. While these wounds were not enough to stop the beast it was more than enough to keep them back as Lucian brought his scythe down to rend a deep gouge into the side of the orc.
Something was off about his weapon just there. Lucian understood that much. But he did not care as another greenskin stepped on the fallen corpse of his fellow to get a better advantage in cutting down Lucian.
The clang of metal upon his Scythe’s wooden stock ran and the Peasant could feel the wood stressed under the impact. He had to give for the weapon would have shattered right then and there by such a devastating attack.
Muscles screamed as he narrowly avoided the attack that was attempting to slice his entire should off his body. With a twist Lucian sliced into the weapon arm of the orc. The gash deep enough to strike bone and rob the hog headed creature of all strength within the limb. In response he got a face full of green bile that was disgusting to all the senses of the human body.
Even without an arm the orc reached over and slammed a fist into Lucian. With no way to avoid the hit Lucian felt his bones rattle before he stuck his weapon into the orc’s side, killing it upon the return stroke.
Three Orcs laid dead at his feet, an amount Lucian realized was more than any of his fellow Peasants had succeeded in. Yet where he was holding success his fellows were not.
