Shrieking they turned about and fled away. - (Marauders of Gor, Chapter 7, Sentence #35)

She was exquisite. "You other lazy girls," cried Ottar, addressing the remaining bondmaids, "is it your wish to be cut into strips and fed to parsit fish?" "No, my Jarl!" they cried. "To your labors!" cried he. Shrieking they turned about and fled away. "Now, twice more," said Ottar to me, his hand on his broad black belt inlaid with gold. "Then we will find another post!" There are many tricks in the use of the ax; feints are often used, and short strokes; and the handle, jabbing and punching; a full swing, of course, should it miss, exposes the warrior; certain elementary stratagems might be mentioned; the following are typical; it is pretended to have taken a full swing, even to the cry of the kill, but the swing is held short and not followed through; the antagonist then, if unwary, may rush forward, and be taken, the ax turned, off guard, by the back cut, from the left to right; sometimes it is possible, too, if the opponent carries his shield too high, to step to the left, and, with a looping stroke, cut off the shield arm; a low stroke, too, can be dangerous, for the human foot, as swift as a sapling, may be struck away; defensively, of course, if one can lure the full stroke and yet escape it, one has an instant to press the advantage; this is sometimes done by seeming to expose more of the body than one wary to the ax might, that to tempt the antagonist, he thinking he is dealing with an unskilled foe, to prematurely commit the weight of his body to a full blow. The ax of Torvaldsland is one of the most fearful of the weapons on Gor. - (Marauders of Gor)
