"Stop them!"
I kicked a human soldier square in the solar plexus as he tried to squeeze between the shield-bearing orcs. The human stumbled backward, spitting blood-flecked saliva, and in that gap I twisted my body slightly to the side.
Whoooosh!
A wind arrow that grazed past my neck pierced the human soldier's heart. The soldier toppled forward, eyes bloodshot.
"Teams of four! Intercept every human that slips between the shieldbearers! Hold the gaps!"
Two shieldbearers held their shields firm up front while the other two bashed any soldiers trying to force their way through with swords and hammers.
Then, after a set interval, the Cookie Elves who'd been lurking in their holes, waiting for enemies to pass by, unleashed a volley of wind arrows in unison.
Thwip-thwip!
