lucius getting murked as usual

The emperor Lucius struck a blow at Arthur’s visor, hitting him awkwardly on the nose. Blood ran down past Arthur’s mouth and chin and onto his chest. His shield and his chainmail glistened with blood. Arthur quickly turned his horse and struck a return blow with the shining Excalibur that tore through chainmail and armour, cutting Lucius from throat to chest with a single slash.
