The Angels were getting more and more agitated the longer Mark spoke, and Mark could sense their desire to attack him growing. 

"You think you are strong just because you managed to win against a few foot soldiers who were attacked unaware? Any of the soldiers in my army would end your life!"

"But all of this can be avoided." 

Duke Grant blinked curiously and frowned as he just stared at Mark and waited for Mark to say more. Mark stood so that they were both on the same level as he continued.
