Kenway - Pikestaff kill

I heard a sound behind me too late to stop the blow but in time to prevent it knocking me out, and I pitched forward, landing badly on the dirt, but having the presence of mind to roll at the same time. A pikestaff with my name on it was driven into the ground where I’d been. At the other end of it was a surprised soldier. I kicked myself up, grabbed his shoulders and span. At the same time I booted the shaft of the pikestaff and snapped it, then rammed his body on to it at the same time.
He flopped like a landed fish, impaled on the broken shaft of his own pikestaff, but I didn’t stick around to admire his death throes. The second soldier was upon me, angry, the way you get when you see your friend die.
