Finishing The Job - Part 10

The enemies that had been walking backwards were slow to react. The man that he'd targeted – without even bothering to feint his attempt, for he knew he didn't need to – tried a backward step, only to step straight into the wall of men that were retreating behind him. Pinned in place by his own allies, he fell easily to Oliver's sword.

The spears came rushing in after Oliver. Even the men that he did not officially command followed his order. He'd dangled in front of them juicy prey, pointing out the enemy's weakness. They would have been less than soldiers if they'd failed to commit.

Held in place by the same restrictions of bodies as the man that had fallen to Oliver, a good few more men fell victim to the spears. They attempted to dodge backwards, only to find that the men behind them weren't retreating fast enough. They were pinned in place and skewered, faster than any man could be.
