Nasir was accustomed to fighting a heavier opponent and he adjusted his own weight accordingly. Just as he was ready to step aside so Albert would fall forward from the momentum, the spear moved out of the way and came toward him. But as soon as he saw that it had caught on the other man's foot, Nasir surged forward.

He slammed his spear against Albert's then moved to thrust his own directly under the man's chin, ready to stop it before it pierced flesh.
