"This will be a tough dance Jim. Got any more bright ideas?" Asked Lia as she saw 50 Guards slowly approaching all around with their swords, maces, battleaxes and warhammers up.
"Evade and attack. Don't be dumb to throw yourself in the middle of those guards, even you would be dead meat!" Mumbled Jim as he gave a death glare to the 50 guards.
Them seeing their coworkers on the ground laying in blood pools all caused because of two commoners, their overall confidence shunned down.
The two are outnumbered but the guards feel outmatched as if facing a holy.
"Attack!" Hollered one guard!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!" Screamed the bundle of guards as they charged towards Lia and Jim with aims to obliterate them.
Lia ran back, avoiding the crowd and the guards who got out of line, proving more fast on their feet met the end of the lady's sword.
It's easier to strike down such people because they don't take part in a crowd where swords can swing from all sides, proving difficult to avoid.
The first Guard who ran out of line, was struck hard enough to lose his head. Lia Swung at him with such speed that the guard's body kept running headless for several feet until he met the ground.
But regardless of that swing, she's quickly running out of space to evade because the throne room is only about 20 meters long and 10 meters wide.
At the end of a very short staircase 20 feet away from the throne, there's a 4 foot wide support beam holding the ceiling of the throneroom up.
She might have the strength to cut the support beam down if she manages to evade the guards enough to strike down several strikes on it.
It's an option but she would be risking Jim's life with such a battle plan so she uses the support beam to become airborne.
With the right foot reaching 6 feet high after making a little jump, her foot pushed against the support beam.
Proceeding to push her body weight hard enough to do a backflip.
Her Sword raised vertically above the head.
Flying through the air while upside down, she manages to cut through several "heads and shoulders" before landing on the last two lines of guards.
Where the little lady managed to knock four of them off their feet with her body weight.
Making a quick recovery right after, not wasting a second she stands on her feet to avoid getting struck by the other guards who're waiting for such an opportunity in this insane battle.
Jim however, since the beginning he took a different direction in aims to split the group of guards which could at least make the situation a bit easier.
But if they wish to take 20-25 Guards each, they would have to evade and strike all day long. No one would have the stamina for that, not even Lia so he took a rather different approach.
Jim ran around and threw anything he could find in the throne room, using everything to an advantage.
Decorative shields and swords seemed to be not so decorative, as they were made out of Iron or silver.
Throwing an actual sword against a guard with full strength would no doubt kill an enemy if thrown correctly.
And throwing a shield would at least knock out a guard if not killing one.
To his further advantage, there were several decorative daggers all in one place. He didn't take a second to grab them all with one swipe and continued running while throwing daggers against the enemies.
It was easier to strike any of the guards because they had no base of attack whatsoever except chasing after Jim like animals and the daggers were lighter to toss.
The Strikes didn't even have to be on the head to stop one guard. After being hit they would stop on the spot and cry for help, where they caused for several guards with weapons to bash on them.
Ending up with more guards being injured as some lost balance and met the ground. These Guards are so disoriented but they can still out match the two because their numbers are bigger.
After a half hour of evading and striking when they found a clear opening, the two still didn't even manage to kill or knock out half of the guards.
A bit over 30 were still standing although it was rather difficult to count them all.
With more than half of their staminas depleted, Lia thought it best to escape this goddamn castle and flee.
Wherever they would flee, would be way better than this hellhole. However fleeing in the first place would mean running through the town where more guards or civilians could put up a fight.
Quantity can beat quality at this point unfortunately.
They rushed towards the castle door after Lia pitched the idea but found that it was barred from both sides.
A foot thick plank placed horizontally in the middle of the door from one end to the other, prevented them from fleeing.
Sure they can lift the one from inside, but how will they lift the one from outside? It requires someone from the other side to do it.
They are cornered by the remaining guards as bashing against the door took them too much time.
Lia seems to withstand attacks without blood breaking out but who can guarantee that being struck tens of times wouldn't knock her out? She can feel pain after all.
Suddenly they hear a thick voice on the other side of the door yelling, "Ready?"
A thinner tone continuing, "Yes sir!"
And the first voice finishing it with,
"Strike!"
As he hollered, the 12 foot tall and 17 foot wide castle doors were forced out of their hinges and pushed 3 feet from their original spot, before they made a large boom after hitting the ground.
The two people who caused this havoc are a 7 foot illustratian man with a 5.5 foot kid, who seemed more like a sidekick tagging along.
They double punched the large doors down after all.
"Sorry to knock so hard." Yelled the little one, no doubt cocky.
