CCCXLI. How To Fight a Giant

"Exactly as Master Kjell says, the important thing is to collaborate. The Jotunns use a variety of weapons... swords, axes, hammers, spiked maces... anyway their weak spots remain the legs and back, due to the stocky and robust neck, which prevents them from making sudden movements. If the best of you at dodging can distract the enemy, others from behind can easily sever the joints of the legs and possibly injure the back getting to the head, to put an end to the fight" Gridd exclaimed, continuing Kjell's speech and coordinating with his explanation, having already faced that type of enemy.

"Don't they fight in groups? I mean... I believe that they know their weaknesses and act accordingly, trying never to be isolated. Besides, we don't know how many there will be... what if we can't fight one at a time?" a Shieldmaiden asked, wielding her sword and imagining a situation like that where enemy troops had encircled them.
