Prior Knowledge
“Next two!” Koda shouted.
Reeve and Dave Johnson stepped up to the circle.
Josiah was tired of his own fight, but he also wanted to witness that one. It could be that he’d be matched with the promising son of the lieutenant like they said, after all.
The two young men were about the same size and had a pretty underdeveloped physique. Someone who didn’t know them wouldn’t give much to them.
They stood still facing each other and waited until the whistling sound marked the beginning of the fight.
And it soon started.
Of course, Dave Johson knew all about Reeve’s weapon. It caused the pain to be transferred to the attacker. With that prior knowledge, he charged in bare-handed, striking for disarming the opponent before he could draw his. Dave had all of his weapons firmly tied to the back and the hands-free. The whole way he carried his armor around was made for building up speed.
They were taught how to disarm a man with a knife on the army. Theoretically, it was no big deal.
