Surrounded

When everyone completed their defensive formation, they didn't wait that long before the enemies showed themselves.

The tranquility of the surroundings was shattered by the sudden appearance of a group of cloaked figures. Their menacing auras were even trying to pressure them into submission.

"When did these people get near us?" Roland muttered as he realized how flawed their scouts and defensive circles were.

Elsa swiftly assessed the situation, her eyes narrowing as she recognized the distinct emblems on the attackers' robes. "Arcanists from the Ruri Kingdom… They're not even hiding their identity now." She muttered grimly.
