Warlords: Strategic Conquest

You'd be damned if you'd just let some assassin kill you without fighting back. You kick at his solar plexus with all your might. He staggers back a couple of steps.

Your attacker's eyes reveal a look of surprise. He did not expect you to fight back. You may live through this assassination attempt after all, you prematurely think to yourself.

He recovers uncannily fast. With a lightning quick movement he closes in and unleashes a furious combination of dagger strikes; first at your leg, then your head, and finally your chest. Your reflexes take over and you miraculously parry each of the thrusts.

You counterattack with a flurry of punches and kicks of your own, while careful to avoid his blade. The assassin dodges your blows and slides his dagger through an opening into your chest. You slump over and your breath swiftly leaves you.
