The Perilous Clash

Han Jin kicked up the wand with the tip of his foot, while Hogan bowed his head with an uncertain look. He had chosen to surrender because he was afraid to die, but that didn't mean he wasn't capable of fighting back at all. He would at least have the time to order the gargoyles to initiate a suicide attack before he was killed!

The mercenaries gradually quieted down. Dwightsteel, Juventus, and the rest of the mercenary leaders all somewhat nervously stared at Han Jin. They knew that harming the representative of Cold Shadow City would result in a feud, but the Cold Shadow City army was too far away to post an immediate threat, whereas the swarms of hovering gargoyles were right in front of them and had to be immediately taken care of. Of course, it was impossible to cause any real harm to Isolated Cliff City with those gargoyles alone, but there would certainly be casualties.
