He doesn't-- not directly. Bolin is doing a fantastic job of covering him, of making sure none actually get close enough to deactivate their machinery, but there are even more unwelcome guests approaching. Right before tilting their path a few degrees north, he spares a quick second to reach into his pocket and pivot three of his knives towards the west. They hit their targets square-on, and off-set their balance enough such that two of the soldiers fall gracelessly onto the deck, and the third into the sea. The barrier goes back up briefly. ]
