Bart let the rope loose in a low-key way, and it happened that most of his team was in front of him, blocking the view. After Bart took the rope back to his space, he looked at the men.
"Is there no alternative where we can just go on our own way without butting heads?"
The men sneered. "Butt heads? More like every one of you dying under our swords and our feet, right?" he looked at them up and down. "All of you look horrible. That half-orc must've made you suffer a lot."
"In exchange for your efforts, we will give you a quick death," he said and looked at the people at his side before nodding.
Bart and the others immediately went into the defense, capturing the attacks the enemies sent. They placed their best foot forward immediately, not daring to hold back.
Their levels were not only lower on average, they were also weakened by the various adventures (and the damned half-orc) so this was hardly a fair fight.
