Threats!

He had a lot to yell about but his current situation stifled anything he could say as the First Elder gradually closed the cage with the spookiest smile the duo had ever seen, even in their worst nightmares. 

'At this rate, we might not make it out of here in time!' Kang thought to himself as he bellowed;

"Slaughter a path through!"

Then he raised his sword and brought it down on another unfortunate human slave who fell straight to the ground lifeless.

But shortly after that another choking sound rang out from behind before Meng and Kang realized that another comrade had fallen, and it was right at this time that the First Elder locked the gate and removed the key.

Then the crowd within the cave stopped and then five other sounds of chains falling to the ground rang out before the crowd parted, revealing five unchained Djangos [Burly men] with swords which belonged to the fallen soldiers in their hands.
