GITA
The two assailants had breached the thinning teeth of the wedge and singled Gita out. She was the only thing standing between the two enemies who circled her like hyenas moving in for the kill and the unprotected backs of the Assurians who pushed against the teeth of the failing wedge. Soon their warriors would need to retreat behind the wall. In doing so, the defenders at the gate might not be able to prevent the Halifians from pouring right in behind them.
"Left flank … bow in!" Siamek shouted. "Start backing up towards the wall!" He ran to help two women valiantly fighting six enemies who'd outflanked the ends of the wedge to get behind them, leaving Gita to fend for herself.
"Fire!" Immanu shouted from the rooftops.
