“They are quite hardy.” Up to a certain point, anyway—strong enough to shove people into dungeons, but somehow brittle enough to give at the point of his blade. By the time the gate guards have arrived Tristan’s already managed to shear through a column of these knights, having lopped off their limbs or heads or torsos by accident—it’s hard to fight them and keep them intact, who’d’ve thought?
With an affirmative grunt at Tonbokiri’s call, he turns to focus on the others, and—hello? He slashes at a nearby enemy, this time with full intent to kill, watching it go down into a pile of snow. By now the hallway is packed with snow, which is handy for slowing down the other incoming knights, but this time Tristan sees that some of them are already beginning to reform…
Of course.
“Slay them all!” His warning is cut short as he meets the blade of another oncoming knight. “We cannot let them outnumber us!”
