Oliver, as a "warrior" who had been through life-threatening dangers many times, was not too panicked to move at the critical moment. He backed off sideways subconsciously and waved his short sword, trying to find a way to escape.
However, he was far weaker than Captain Grigra, who took advantage of the length of his sword and slashed nonstop, making it impossible for Oliver to draw near. He could not make the best use of the short sword and could not resist the attacks by raising his sword.
Clang, clang, clang.
After a few crisp sounds, the short sword fell to the ground, and Oliver's right hand was bleeding.
Grinning hideously, Grigra stepped forward and cut horizontally, further reducing Oliver's range of activity.
After only a while, Oliver realized that he had been cornered. He would have to face the flashing longsword whichever direction he went to.
Am I going to die?
