Cross's shot pierced Oku's back who was too focused dashing towards the castle where the werejackals were about to pounce onto Orc King Hamu. The Right Hand tried to ignore the pain from the shot but it cleared his head enough to realise that even if he tried his best to head towards the castle, the werejackals would have ample time to strike King Hamu regardless of his efforts.
Instead, what he should be doing was to get rid of this goblin who was in cahoots with that traitorous Yellow Ice and find a way to aid King Hamu without sacrificing himself. However, this realisation came a bit late. Cross crashed into him using his shoulder while holding his dagger sidewards, allowing him to impale Oku's torso. Familiar with the weak spots of the Orcish armours, the goblin made use of the sides which were vulnerable to stabs.
