722. Disgusting Balance

"I would tell everyone we should watch and prepare. But they have already seen us. Gil, you're up." Walker was sure they could have hidden for some time if the farm lands had not been burned. There was nowhere to hide in the soaking wet ash grey landscape. 

The demons that had noticed them did not seem to be very intelligent. Instead of alerting the other demons they each ran at the party alone. Even the three in the lead were almost competing to get to them first. It was a good thing for the party but also disappointing for anyone to watch since teamwork was a major factor in any kingdom. 

Gil didn't hesitate to draw an arrow. The demons coming were wielding the swords in perfectly balanced motions which made him want to keep them farther from the party. The earth elemental arrow Gil had pulled back and was about to release was targeting the nearest demon. The slow breathing stopped as Gil released an arrow and quickly grabbed another.
