Chapter 03: Clean A note from Bragi Fire I will try to update two chapters a week for the beginning. leave some comments below and give your thoughts and ideas A duel between two commoners ultimately is different from the duel of great nobles and dukes And it is not like a duel between two great commanders or two great nobles duking it out with each other. There is no battle of honours between lowly people like them No two armies opening a path so that you could duel and affect the entire battle in one duel. No gentleman duel like a noble They are just two-foot soldiers in a war, not even a sidenote in history and probably would be one of the numbers mentioned in the battle report when the dust settles. Then he learned something very specific to him. The killing bows are rarely clean. Bleeding out is the worst. He could feel his life being snuffed out from him little by little. Then there is the death of being stomped. At least with horses, it is one stomp. With a crowd rampaging around, it takes some time and you could hear your own skull cracks as the bloods fills your nose and your throat There were times when that squire cut him clean and there were times when the cut is not so clean and that is the worst thing Now, he understands why a great executioner is those who cut the head clean. If you cut the head and botch the job it is just torturing “The tenth then” this time he did not have such high hopes. He already wasted some time just thinking about the past nine experience. And then before he could think even further, he sees the squire rushing towards him. By now, he had treated all the noise around him like some kind of background noise. He just ignores them most of the time This time the squire did not waste time and swipe toward his throat “What an idiot. Looking around and standing still on the battlefield” that was the last thing he heard “This time it’s clean” that was his last thought .. The eleventh time This time Henrik is ready All around it is the same scenery though Henrik is no longer fazed with the surrounding, the screams, the smell and the chaos. He looks around and he waited. Clang! “It’s here” Henrik rushes toward the left and saw a destroyed carriage. The carriage is toppled; the horse is nowhere to be seen and there is people around the carriage all dead. Some of them is pierced by arrows, some of them have deep gashes of sword and holes made by spear Though now is not the time to play detective “Quickly” he urges himself in his mind His feet become faster and then he readied himself. Henrik rushed toward the carriage and slides down below the carriage and as his body slides forward, the size is just enough for his body to slide through the gap. The moment he appears out of the gap on the other side of the carriage, he rolls forward, grab the sword and make a run to the carriage again “Quick!” his heart is beating hard at this moment “I don’t want to die again here” Once again, he did the same thing. He runs toward that carriage and just at that right spot he slides through the gap like he is some kind of slippery loach To the eyes of anyone who is seeing him, he looks extremely skilful and adept. It is like those action scenes one would see in action movies. No one would believe it would come from a peasant youth. But unfortunately, this is not a movie set and no one is watching. Everyone is fighting for their life, and no one has the time to gawk at you and watch you doing stunt Life and death decided by mere inches of steel, sound of screams and echoes of shouts lingers faintly, and everyone is fighting for that sliver of hope of life Swoosh! He slides down There is a reason why he did not break out toward the direction of that carriage. In the distance there is a cavalry Henrik did not see it. But he knows it is there Because there would be a cavalry charge. The carriage there acted like some kind of barrier. Whether it was there by design or coincidence, Henrik doesn’t know and right now he real
