Crüxt and Öyre strode along the wall behind the Templar that lined its perimeter to defend their home from the great horde that threatened it.  “Öyre, what is the plan, I don’t see any way we can hold such a long front.”

“The plan is to try to hold it, and keep them out of the city.  We will make them pay dearly for each centimeter of ground,” proclaimed Öyre.

“I have no doubt of that, what I am concerned about is what happens when they fully exploit the breach?” inquired Crüxt.

Crüxt stood in his stirrups to give his mace more room to swing.  It came crashing down into a brace of goblins, sending them flying as he readied to send a second group after them.  To his left and right other knights struck those around them with all manner of weaponry to clear a path onto the plains.  Casualties were inevitable as they fought their way through the sea of green, as the salmon that swims upstream.
