Rhemic Empire (2)

If Alaria’s experience offered any insight into the current situation, it was this: if an enemy hates you but offers surrender, they aren’t expecting an easy victory. Moreover, even if the members of the “Enclave” intended to keep their promise, nothing guaranteed that life after surrender would be any more pleasant than death. After all, their serpent-man leader didn’t promise to release them. In the event of surrender, the trio would most likely face the fate of slaves. And the tanarri had absolutely no desire to cater to the whims of some scaly monstrosities.
However, what couldn’t be denied was that the advantage was not on their side. The enemy not only had a threefold numerical superiority but had also managed to encircle the group. And there were no guarantees that she would be able to reach even one of the serpent-men before the others peppered her with arrows. However, there were no alternatives – she would have to take a risk.
