Despite being struck by numerous arrows that pierced his armor and left him bleeding heavily, Niam pressed on. When he finally reached the summoner, he stood atop his horse and leaped forward, driving his sword into the enemy. The moment the blade struck, the [[Netherkind]] horde dissipated, freeing his battalion to repel the remaining Cratterian forces.
