It was a good test for Lex's skill and although he was suffering quite a few powerful blows and was being quite heavily injured, the longer the battle went on, the more attacks he was able to dodge and block.
"Listen clearly. Your leader will die here and all of you can follow suit, or you can all pledge loyalty to me. If you do not pledge loyalty to me, your deaths are inevitable," announced Lex.
As he did so, 5 clones of Lex dashed towards him and the 6 identical figures all struck the bandit tribe leader at the same time from all different locations.
It was clear to Lex that in the few minutes that he would have to hold back the bandit leader until his life force ran out, he could be killed by the extreme power of the bandit leader.
However, he was also unwilling to destroy his clones as they were important for the safety of the fox beast units and the innocents in the tribe, so instead, he teleported them all to the area beside him.
