"This is your last chance! Drop your weapons or we will make a pincushion out of you!" the knight roared.
"You act as if by the time all of your men’s’ arrows are fired and their quivers are empty that I will be dead."
The knight in charge gave the signal and all of his men fired simultaneously. A wall of arrows hailed towards Garth, yet he stood stationary and waited for the approaching onslaught. With lightning fast reflexes Garth swung his scimitars around several times and sliced through the flurry of arrows as they approached.
The archers fired another volley. The assassin slashed several more arrows out of the air and contorted his body to dodge the countless projectiles as they whizzed by.
Garth ducked, dodged, weaved, and slashed through the incoming projectiles time and time again. The White Knights fired volley after volley, yet the assassin was untouchable.
Suddenly, one arrow penetrated through Garth's defenses and stuck his shoulder. His momentum was thrown off and he temporarily lost his balance. The one arrow was followed by several more as they soared through the air and pierced Garth's chest and midsection.
Despite the intense pain that shot all throughout his body, Garth continued to stand firm and endure the punishment. He held up his scimitars and slashed through several more arrows, but his movements had been slowed and he could not dodge all of them. The knights continued to fire until Garth's legs gave way and he collapsed to one knee. He was sweating profusely and his body felt like it was on fire.
"Take that you scum," the lead knight snorted as he lowered his own bow.
