CHAPTER 15
I ordered Poe to fly to a tree branch and pulled my wooden sword right away. 4 out of the 6 don't know me so they are most likely going to underestimate the 6 years old commoner, but I watched them fought in the training ground. The real problem are the Hallis and the other squire I don't remember his name so I m going to call him Grunt A, I fought with them and they wont underestimate me. Hallis and the other one stayed at back didn't charge at me right away. Both of them most likely going to wait for me to be busy with the other 4 and attack me from the blind spots or surround me. I cant let them surround me or I will get beaten.
I charge at the further left one and act like I m going to attack from the right side and side step to left at the last second because of that he swings his stick and miss I can see the surprise in his eyes and I use the pommel of my sword to hit his neck then he goes down. One down 5 to go. Right as that one goes down the one next to it strikes at my right side but I was expecting him so I did a back step and then lunge at his abdomen. When I hit him he gets winded but because of the lunge I got exposed a bit this wasn't the right action. This is my first time fighting against multiple opponents. This mistake caused me to not be able to dodge or parry I have to block and I don't like blocking. When you black it is all about strength. I might have the build of 9 year old but those children are not ordinary children either they have better strength than I have. They have around 1.7 to 1.9 str but they are slow. They have around 1.3.-1.5 spd. There were only 2 of them faster than me but I already knocked them out first this was the reason I attacked them first.
The next attack I couldn't dodge and blocked it. It was hard and I got pushed back and lost my balance. Another one was ready to land a strike at my upper torso but I decided to roll back, because he was not expecting this and swing at air he lost his balance and trip on one of the downed friend of his then fall to the ground. When I roll back I pick up a hand full of sand without show them then stated to run away.
They were shouting "Coward, come back here!"
"Coward are you for real, you are coming at me 6 to 1, who is the craven you hypocrites!" when I look back and see they weren't coming it to the alley. They are not entirely brain dead. So I need to taunt them then. "Everyone knows family creed of Starks are 'winter is coming' for your families it must be 'honor is nothing if you don't have the number' or is it 'I cant fight by myself' ooh oh I found a better one 'I m nothing but a little ugly hog' I m definitely right about it right Hallis The Hog" for a second his face really looked like a hog but he must have forgotten who is against because he was charging at me with reckless abandon. So thank you for the free offering Hallis.
He tried to use his strength. I m not surprised he has the most crooked stats 1.9 str and 1.3 spd. He is slow as hell so his strength means nothing to me. He used a over head vertical slash with his stick and I just guided his strike to the side with a parry then I stepped in holding my wooden sword with one hand, smacked the hilt to the center of his face right on his nose. He cried in pain but I wasn't finished because he wasn't down yet. I strike to the back of his knee he cried again and fall to his knees then I kneed his face right on his nose again. This time he fall down at that moment I didn't see the grunt A going around to my left while I was busy with Hallis. I cant dodge so I blocked again. He is too strong same as Hallis 1.9 str, this block caused my skin to tear in my hand and it started to bleed. Thank the old gods I changed my grip right before the strike so my of hand got hurt not the dominant one. I m not ambidextrous yet. I still favor my left hand. But the strike was strong it caused me to be push back to the alley wall.
BANGGG (crashing sounds)
It really hurt it is going to bruise. He was coming at me again. The second I realized I wasn t going to fall but crash on to the wall I put my hand in my pocket and pulled the sand in it then throw it at his face. Because of the sand the tear in my hand started to throb. But he got blinded and I landed got strike to his balls his eyes gone white and his mouth was in the shape of an ("o"). it was a bit funny. When was down the last three looked at each other then run away. My heart was beating out of my chest. I was exhausted and hurting. I might have a toned body but I m still a 6 years old child. I bruise and hurt easily. Even thought I work like a dog I still don't have a decent stamina.
I was so tired so I gone to a water source cleaned my hurt hand then I gone to my room. I used an iron bucket and started to boil some water after the water cooled down I washed the wound thoroughly for few minutes. Because I know I was going to get hurt sometime I collected some garlic and honey from the kitchen to use on wounds then used a clean cloth to bandage it.
