Nanael Montblanc Baccarat

Without missing a beat, the entire Baccarat Royal Guards came out of the woodwork. 

In their hands were not swords but stun guns.  They had been given the orders to clear out any protest groups with a minimum of bloodshed.

Since magik did not work anywhere in Andalusia, Marcus' men had nothing to fight with but their swords.  The Baccarat Royal Guards however, had cutting-edge human created weapons. 

The stun guns were not lethal but they were perfect crowd-control tools that quickly and easily neutralized the warriors of the Mage Elites.

They didn't even have to get close to the sword-swinging warriors.  From a slight distance, the Baccarat Royal Guards aimed their stun guns and fired at any and all who looked suspicious in the least. 

Since the shots were non-lethal, they did not need to be quite as judicious with their firing.  There was however the one negative effect.
