Corvo winced at the glaring pain in his left shoulder. During the intense battle, a single arrow had, barely, penetrated his chainmail. But the pain was nothing compared to the scene around him. Twenty-five of his men were rested around the fire as local healer fussed over wounds, none could tell who would survive.
He walked over Captain Ulfbjorn Hartmann, who had taken a hit for him. "Crazy bastard." Corvo said, voice distorted to a rasping sound by the silver skull mask he wore. "Hah, takes more than a spear to keep me down." the Captain replied, and the two men laughed. The remark though, brought back memories of the battle.
Corvo was extremely proud of his unit, Whalers. They were advancing with Xavax's legion, holding shields against the foul arrows. A chant of war went up amongst the troops;
Our swords are sharp
Our spears are long
Our arrows are swift
Our arms are strong
Brave is the heart that looks upon home
We will kill the bandits wherever they roam!
The war chant went on until the Infantry of Xavax were in charging distance, then it was replaced by roaring.
Three Hours And Twenty-Two Minutes Later
An arrow flew through the air whistling as it homed in on it's unsuspecting prey. The next moment, a great pain blossomed in Corvo's shoulder. It was a scene of carnage, and Corvo was undisturbed by it. The sheer disregard for life that the foes of Xavax fought with had initially shaken him, now he had acclimated to death.
Ulfbjorn saw Corvo go down and ordered a retreat. Xavaxian forces made the Vix and bandits pay for every inch of ground, byt retreated left a bad taste in the Captain's mouth. He and another Whale got Corvo to his feet and dragged him off the field.
Corvo was aware of being picked up and dragged, he would have protested but Count Mormont's condition had made him gape with awe. The Count's body was racked with wounds that would have, nay should have, killed him. Yet he fought on. Corvo was evacuated before he saw the Count's fate, but he knew in his heart that Uthred had fallen.
