The runner who had taken the bolt between shoulder and spine died while the bearded soldier cleared the building.
Godric reported it in a single sentence and kept moving. The bearded soldier came back through the road without being called and took position four feet behind Beorn's right side.
The third street barricade had not changed.
Beorn checked the upper windows on the right face of the center building. Two men stood there, neither raising their crossbows, both watching the corner where the main avenue squad waited.
"Right squad," he said to Godric. "I need two men at the side street corner, where they can reach the upper windows without crossing open ground."
He looked at the windows again. They were too distant for pistols, "Use crossbows to pin those windows before we do anything else."
Godric turned, and the order moved.
The bolt from the uncleared building came thirty seconds later. Not from the third street, but from behind.
