Captain Leg Protection

TAKE A STAND!

The sergeant was fast and skilled with a sword. But he was also young and clearly did not expect the unexpected. The captain avoided a few strikes and made a pirouette followed by a seeming half-hearted thrust, which the sergeant parried with triumphant ease. But the following armoured knee bash sent him instantly coughing to the ground. The senior officer peered at his defeated subordinate and responded with an approving nod.

FULL METAL JACKET!

“I swear, our captain stood furiously calm as the bandit scout aimed at his chest.

The other officer accepted with no small amount of respect. We all regarded the display in awe.”

SAVE YOUR NECK!

The mercenary roared in pain as my rapier found a weak spot in his armour. In a last effort of fearful rage, he drew his rondel dagger and made a forceful thrust. In a fraction of the following moment, I felt the blade sing as my gorget reflected the blade. A scratched armour is better than a fatal wound, I thought, as the fight continued.

“Of course, the captain was better equipped, but within this moment, it did not matter. He had placed himself firmly on the ground, drawn his sword and gestured for us to form a line. When then knew that he was no aloof officer. He was a soldier like the rest of us. While the enemy still advanced towards us, I could sense the sudden cracks in their morale.”
