As Karl hacked his way through the Undead, the crowd in front of him parted, and a group of black armoured undead Knights joined the fray.
Thor's joy at getting to fight against real knights, even if they were undead knights, was infectious, and Karl found himself smiling behind the visor of his helmet.
They were all strong Monarchs, except the leader of the squad, who was clearly an Overlord.
Karl pointed his sword at the leader, and saluted him with the hope to signal a duel and give them some space to fight.
The gesture worked remarkably well, and the Wights simply ran away, creating a twenty-metre circle for their duel.
The Epic Guard went to assist Thor, who had been blocked by the Wights, with Tessa on his back spearing the creatures, using her new shield to guard Thor's flank.
The squad of undead Knights fell in around Karl and their leader, waiting for the outcome with unnatural stillness, a pond of calm in the chaos of battle.
