Strength and Tyranny (Beyzor Lord)

At the Height of His Power
Strength and Tyranny's troops surrounded him and fought through the crowd, not seeking to gain ground, as they gave what they had taken the further they pushed. They led a circle through the forces of the Kingdom, mostly defending as their general challenged leader after leader to combat. Each leader, brave before their troops, bolstered by their ability to withstand the attack and take down more of the enemy host than they lost, accepted the challenge, sure in their assertion that they could not lose this day. They stepped down from their mounts, sword, axe, mace, and shield at the ready, as one by one they faced Strength and Tyranny. The duel was honorable, no sand thrown, no weapon dropped to land a brutal punch to the face or groin, no kicks to the knees, just the cold, beautiful interplay of blade on blade, haft on haft and the ringing of metal being struck. Strength and Tyranny fought with fluid grace, always landing with the blow at the perfect angle to make contact, then be used as a leverage point to throw his enemies off balance. They would stumble, he would sidestep, and then he would pause and wait for them to regain their footing to renew the exchange. Ringing after ringing, the blows landed like a hammer on an anvil in the forges back home, and sparks showered the sky and the troops around. Minutes into the battle, enemy and ally alike stood, half heartedly exchanging blows and defending while they watched the battle transfixed. When the general’s armor was more dented than hammered into shape, and their weapon reduced to haft and nicked and broken blade/cudgel, Strength and Tyranny stepped aside one final time, and with a deft lunge, slide his blade through the general’s plate like a knife through butter. His foe would fall breathless. The only sound that of his armor on the field. His forces hung their heads awaiting death, and the red skinned general and his host moved on, seeking a new challenge.
