There was much scrambling about and cries of rage and horror from the road. Archers sprang up, loosed shafts, and disappeared again, in the grass, only to rise again, to release another shaft, often from a different position. Few of the corsairs dared to plunge into the grass, and those who did, pursuing archers, were led, as by phantoms, into places where swordsmen rose behind them, before them, and about them. The center of the column was shattered and, in moments, as corsairs fled, the road was empty save for dust, bodies, and loot bags. Interestingly, neither the first third of the column nor the last third of the column came to the relief of their beleaguered fellows. The last third of the column and some remnants of the broken center hurried back to the beach, where the corsair fleet lay to, some forty or so yards offshore. I later learned from some of my men who followed them, keeping apprised of their movements, that their plea to be taken aboard the fleet's ships was refused. - (Avengers of Gor, Chapter )
