Ollie hit the reformed line like a living battering ram.
The first shield went sideways when the cleaver bit into its upper rim and wrenched it out of the soldier's grip. The man behind it tried to stab with his sword, but Ollie stepped inside the thrust, caught the blade on Frost Fang's translucent edge, and drove his shoulder into the soldier's chest. The armored man flew backward into the halberdier behind him, and both went down in a tangle of steel and limbs.
"Hold the line!" the sergeant shouted, desperately trying to keep his men from breaking under the furious assault of the strange, knife-wielding knight. "Don't fall now! He's just one man, kill him!"
"He's just one man, but he's not alone!" Devlin shouted as he came in from the right flank, working through a gap that Ollie's charge had opened.
