The tension rose instantly.
And this time there was no calm negotiation in the air.
The moment the Beastmen blocked their path, the atmosphere tightened instantly, and a cold tension spread through the area while the elven guards reacted without delay and placed their hands on their weapons.
Karlo's eyes narrowed as he looked at the group standing ahead, and his gaze moved across them carefully before he slowly turned his head toward Ethan, and there was a clear question in his eyes.
Ethan met his gaze for a brief moment, and then he let out a quiet breath while rolling his shoulders slightly as if loosening up.
"Let's just pummel them and throw them away," he said calmly.
There was no hesitation in his tone, and it sounded as if he was talking about something simple.
Karlo stared at him for a second, and then a faint smirk appeared on his lips as he gave a small nod.
"Got it," he replied.
