The flames on his sword flashed as Dominic cut through a Minotaur, freeing John from combat, and clearing a line of sight to the mages.
"Where is your wife?" He asked.
The King's Man tilted his chin toward town. "In shopping."
Perfect. That meant the only losses here would be the farm buildings and some sheep.
"I've got the Minotaurs, you can work."
John nodded, then ducked low into the long grass and vanished.
The mages were still hitting Dominic with spells, as his flaming shield and the Fireball he cast into their midst had all their attention. But a few seconds later, the back ranks began to fall as the assassin cleaved his way through their ranks with a blade in either hand.
They were just students, no matter how corrupted their education had been, they couldn't even defend themselves when they didn't have the Minotaurs on their side.
With the mages eliminated, John fought his way back to Dominic's side.
"What brings you here first?"
