There was no tactical advantage in waiting for them to close around him completely. The moment he stopped moving, the scorpions would dictate the terms of the fight.
So this was his chance to dictate the terms himself, driving forward into the densest cluster before they could fully organize.

Two scorpions attacked simultaneously from his left, their tails striking in sequence.
He caught the tip of the first scorpion's tail on his blade and redirected it into the second, the stingers tangling for a half second.
