Jon unsheathed his sword and threw himself into the fray, followed by the big form of Ghost. He quickly decapitated two fallen horsemen before they could get up and engaged a third. Jon was swift enough to lop off the head of his next enemy before he could react. The next opponent managed to parry his first two strikes, but his sword broke from the second, and he lost his head at the third. Meanwhile, a Ryswell man had sneaked behind him and had struck him in the side with an axe, but it bounced off his armour harmlessly. Jon simply turned around, deflected the next swing with a swipe of his left hand and rammed the tip of his blade into the eye of the soldier, killing him instantly.
