"Hit him once for me!" the team leader and former captive shouted with a vengeful glare. While saying that, the leader raced toward the women on his team who were guarding the downed fox.
The brawny man was irked to look up and see Oli challenge him so openly. But he was also forced to put up a proper defense against him. "RETREAT!"
"Oh, you're more shameless than I expected!" Oli laughed, exchanging a blow with the Rhyner Team leader. "Why not stay a bit longer?"
The brawny leader parried a blow from the taller Oli's mace and moved to back off. However, he suddenly felt something grab hold of his ankles. Before he knew it, shadowy tentacles had sprouted out of the snow and latched onto him. They weren't too difficult to break or escape from, at least that would've been the case if Oli wasn't confronting the man's every move.
