several Vandals who dared to come into the range of his battle ax. Odovacar had almost fought his way to the door when the warriors inside began their counter attack. He hoped they did not mistake him for a foe. Odovacar moved quickly to the side of the inn and took a position on the left side of the "Boar's Head" wedge formation as it emerged from the inn.

It was obvious that the Vandals did not expect such resistance as they were meeting here and you could feel the panic setting into their ranks. As Odovacar cleaved another Vandal with his battle ax cutting off his right arm. The man ran off screaming into the Vandal ranks. Odovacar had seen this happen before in a hundred different battles. They were a raiding party and were not prepared to sustain much more losses. All we have to do is keep going forward and kill some more of them and they will turn and run for sure!
