Fil wasn't stupid and as soon as he saw the opening Alex gave him he took it. He lunged forward, punting he King in the head with an upwards strike before dropping the metal mallet he was using and grabbing the axe-handle instead. Just in time too, to block another halberd strike from taking a swipe at his chest.

"Thanks!" He called out, feeling much better at having a weapon that he knew how to use properly in his hands.
