Zack could feel the white hot pain from his shoulder dissipate and being replaced by a feeling of cold water running against his flesh as he wound was healed. Zack brought his shield down slamming into the veteran soldier's lance turning a fatal strike to a glancing wound along the outside of his thigh, as a arrow intended for a killing strike bounced off his helmet sending sending wave of pressure along his head as his helmet saved his life. Zack side stepped placing the soldier between him and the archer well thrusting his spear at the soldier only to produce sparks as the Iron tip of his spear bounced off of the soldier shield. " Well this is a good fight." Zack said as he barely dodged the man's lance. Zack leaned in a he struck the man in his with a minor blow to his shoulder his armor taking the brunt of the strike. Zack unleashed a grunt as the soldier slammed a meaty paw into Zack's cheek welling up blood where flesh broke. They were to close for lances and Zack brought his shield into the man's bicep to buy himself a second of reprieve and caught his breath well back pedaling opening up space as another arrow whistled past to close for comfort.
Zack brought his shield up barely in time to block a arrow that shattered on impact with the metal shield, white hot pain spread as the soldier used the opening and brought the tip of his lance just under Zack's breastplate before Zack jerked backward and knocked the spear away."You will face the wrath of a pissed Ylisse soldier!" Bellowed Zack as he swung his lance that bit into nothing but air to fend the soldier away. Zack took small steps forward thrusting repeatedly at the soldier forcing him back like nobles fencing but much less nimble and flashy. The soldier batted Zack's lance away refusing to give anymore ground to Zack. In this second of an opening Zack brought his lance overhead and gripped it with both hands and swung it like a bat. The wooden Lance's wooden shaft gave with the impact in a shower of splinters and broke in two on impact with the soldiers side stunning him for a split second. Zack Charged impacting his waist and wrapping his arms around the mans waist and lifting him off the ground before slamming him into the ground. Zack felt the soldiers fist connect with the bridge of his nose releasing a stream of blood from his nose but that did not get Zack off the Man. Zack unconnected his shield and swung at the man repeatedly striking across his face and chest. Zack's attention was pulled away when a arrow impacted his breast plate but failed to pierce the arrow as the angle of impact deflected the arrow.
The Soldier slammed a fist into Zack's jaw knocking him onto his side and leaped on Zack wrapping his meaty paws around Zack's neck trying to drain the life of him. Zack could feel each breath harder to take,Zack drove blow after blow into the soldier's side well fighting to try and free himself. Darkness slowly crawled in on Zack's vision, He dropped his arms to the ground as his energy to keep fighting was drained away. Feeling his hand resting on the tip of his broken lance he grabbed it with what energy was left and brought it into the side of the soldier's chest. Light slowly fought it's way back into his vision as the grip around his neck lessened he struck again and again in a spray of warm blood. Zack slammed the lance head into the solder's neck in a final fatal blow feeling his weight as the soldier's lifeless corpse collapsed onto Zack. Zack's vision cleared as he let loose with a salvo dry coughs as he fought to gain his energy from underneath the body.
Zack pushed the soldier off him as another Arrow whizzed past as the Archer surprise got the best of him watching his friend fall in the fight. Zack grabbed the Soldier's steel Lance and forced himself to his feet and plodded forward well taking deep breaths as he worked into a full run charging the archer as a rushed arrow went wide. Zack Slammed the lance into the Archers gut with a sickening thud lifting the archer off the ground until he stopped moving as blood ran down the shaft off the lance.Zack dropped the body from the lance his breathing returning to normal he slowly plodded over toward the dead soldier cleaning blood away from his face and retrieving his shield. " Thank you for the help, My lady, If i may request some more help I'm currently in search of a young girl the people were holding for a ransom."Said Zack as he wrapped his scarf around the wound below his breastplate stemming the stream of blood trickling away.
