"This is not how a warrior should fight! You are bringing shame to the village! You are a coward!" The Matron seethed in anger. Her gaze was full of venom, truly hoping that Red would die from this fight, and she seemed to try to get him killed now as well.
"This is never about a one-on-one duel. The Chief asked me to show him how I killed so many kobolds, and I showed him that. That's the purpose of this fight, and this is how I kill the kobolds… many of them!"
His gaze stopped on the Matron for a moment, cold and emotionless. Just for a moment before turning toward the Chief.
"As I mentioned, it's me alone against three or four kobolds at first. There's no way I can win if I fight them head-on. And yesterday, their numbers increased, and I had to fight that way to delay their advance to the village."
