The Adamantine Archers killed a few Shornhelmers, making them drop the oil and it spilled over the floor of the battlements. That caused the Shornhelmers to dispersed, giving the Seaborn Knights some breathing room.

Rodwell cursed.

Jovron nodded and turned his horse around. "To the battlements!" he ordered the Knights of the Lion.

He went into a gallop, feeling eager to finish this battle. While it had recently just begun quite a few people had died, mostly Shornhelm mercenaries and Legionnaires.

They got close to the wall tower. The bottom of the tower was guarded, a few barricades and a half-full of men. Archers fired on the incoming enemies.

One of the Lion Knights lost his horse and fell down. Another was hit with an arrow and tumbled off his horse.

"Shields!" Sir Percy ordered and his Knights managed to protect themselves from the arrows.

Jov didn't have a shield, he didn't fight with one, so he moved back, letting the Knights go on ahead.

The Legion continued to do their job, taking on the bulk of the mercenary force. They were in superior numbers and so despite the mercenaries' tactics they were winning their battle. With every merc down it made it easier for Roderic's men to get past the barricades and push the defenders back.
