Al, also, saw his king go down. (No, not his king. Peter was his king. He had no claim whatsoever on Edmund; that had been made clear.)
He was already moving toward Edmund before Peter shouted, fighting his way past the Telmarines to reach him. Telmarines! He'd tried to warn Edmund, back on the ships, and look how that had turned out -- only no, right now, the only thing he could do was focus on reaching Edmund. He had to make his way toEdmund and get him off the battle field. Edmund was down.
He fought his way through with the same determination as Peter, giving little thought to who was in his path. There was no other option besides reaching Edmund. He slayed the beast on top of Edmund easily; it didn't hear him approach, and threw the body to the side. One of his arms wrapped around Edmund's slender hips, hauling him up, and he began to fight off their attackers one handed as he hauled Edmund from the fray, back toward encampment.
