The plan was to block the bottleneck and devastate the pursuing forces that were chasing us as we fled.

It worked in itself, but although we killed the Uruk knights, the important thing was that the Titans were still chasing us.

While being shown such an unexpected performance by the giant, I continued to flee on my Valkyrie with my brother Byte.
