156 The Orcs Attack - II

Merlin sprinted towards the orcs as his body faded from sight, he looked behind him for a second, only to see that the rangers were surprised at seeing him disappear suddenly. The rangers had stopped moving for a second while trying to register what happened, but they quickly regained their composure and started running into the fight as well.

His attention was quickly brought back to the front as he heard a pained grunt, it seemed that the knight that previously warned the group about the orc attack was being overpowered by one of the orcs, and his companions had their hands full trying to fend off the other two armoured orcs, so they couldn't lend him any assistance.

An arrow flew past Merlin's head and buried itself into the orc's hand as it was about to swing down its axe on the knight. This surprised the orc for just long enough for the knight to stumble out of the orc's immediate reach.
