His Bargaining Skills

Darkness began to envelope the city while women, children, old men and women lay on the dirt inside the city. The white-eyed Anghus stood within the forest, waiting for Mafan's further instruction.

General Lofey, Ming, Tyriece, and Gib uncovered their ears when the painful vibration ceased And saw the people were lying on the dirt road within the silent city walls. The atmosphere was so serene but heart wrenching. 

Ming stepped to run to Lei An but Tyriece, who was nearer, shouted. "Don't go, brother. They are under an illusion. Maybe, the same one we experienced days ago."

The sight of Lei An and the people lying there helplessly tightened his chest. He looked at where Mafan were and about blew a needle like wind to pierce the man but… the lying soldiers suddenly stood. He waved his hand up, letting the deadly wind to fly up into the sky, making tiny holes perfectly aligned on the floating clouds above to avoid hitting anyone.
