Upon spotting the attackers she didn't hold position so much as charge headlong into the fray, not giving the five who were immediately in front of her the luxury of choosing who they'd engage. With light armor her muscular legs carried her fast into their ranks and she was already on the attack.

Without even so much as slowing she cut through the head a spear attempting to pierce her, the blade encountering no resistance as it passed through the wood. With a flick of the wrist she angled the blade, still sprinting as he plunged the blade through the man's ribcage. She rent through the side of the man's torso with the same ease one would have dragging the tip of their blade across the surface of a lake, leather, bone and muscle parting like water as she swung her blade clear from the first man she slew and cleaved her next victim in two, the bandit falling in half across the horizontal slash.

It had been only a couple of seconds and now two of them were dead. One which held an axe had only just enough time to swing. With a clang the axe struck off her left shoulder plate. The force of the blow wasn't concentrated due to how close she had already come to the axe man. Still following back through from the motion of her horizontal slash she swung her blade back across in a low arc, cleaving through both the axe man's thighs. Her last target's body didn't even have time to fall before she was already running down her forth enemy.

A man with a sword and shield had stopped, hiding behind his shield after witnessing three people die in less time than it took for him to come to a halt. Neither his shield nor his sword offered any more resistance than the others. Od cut him in an upward looping cross cut, the first cut bisecting both the shield and the arm holding it. The man couldn't even fall to his back in time before the follow-up slash cut both him and the sword he attempted to block with in two. The ringing of the shorn metal mingled with the simultaneous screams of the man as their halves separated.

The last person had only just enough time to pivot and turn to start running as it was clear than anyone in her blade's path was as good as dead. Though retreating he wasn't faster than Od as she quickly approached from behind. She stopped in a lunge, her sword piercing through the man's side only slightly above the hip bone. Given that it was on the bandit's right side there was a chance he might live if he went and sought the skills of a surgeon or healer in time. She didn't stop for this last bandit however, the stab only really coming to her as an afterthought.

The reason she stopped was simply due to the fact that she noticed how the rest of the bandits were making their way towards the gate. This made her angry.

[i]Instead of facing me and the other knights on the field of battle they would choose to rush for the city gates instead!?[/i]

With that thought she pivoted and started sprinting immediately towards the front line of the enemy forces, clumps of dirt and grass kicked up from the force of her feet striking the earth.

"Stand and fight me, cowards!" She howled with a fervent rage as she reached the front-most bandits, rapidly slashing left and right as enemy after enemy were sliced apart without so much as even slowing her down. The way she saw it the faster she killed the bandits the sooner all the bandits would be dead. The sooner all the bandits were dead the less danger they posed to her fellow troops. If even a single soldier was wounded or even killed it would be because she couldn't kill them all in time.

She wouldn't let that happen.

She would kill them all.
