The bandit's numbers were declining fast as Orica looked out over the crowd. Someone else had shouted against her order and to flee to safety. If the weak must flee, then they must but it is at the risk of admitting their weakness. She wouldn't give such exceptions to the Bandits if they fled as they had decided to take the offensive. The price for attacking this town was the price of having their display of strength tested. They didn't deserve to flee in hindsight.
The Pegasus Knight would have been a bit harder to hit, and their attention was on Orica who had addressed them. The two remaining ones charged at her together, hoping that even if one was attacked she could only spear one of them. That was true. Lunging forward and then pulling out the spear would take up enough time to allow one of them to attack her, but she wasn't going to let that happen.
Looking between the two of them running she waited for the right moment before tossing her spear into her other hand and thrusting it forward at the bandit on that side. This left her main hand open to reach behind her and grab her axe, pulling it from where it was kept and bringing it out past her cape and swinging at the other bandit.
The two bandits didn't see this coming. The attacks hit them almost simultaneously. The stopped, dropped their axes, and fell down to meet the others. Shaking the blood off her weapons she put the axe back up and turned towards the group heading to the school to follow them.
