Colonel Norrett had left his initial position to deliver his attack, but reappeared in the sky, his body condensing from a piece of the green cloud the General's attack had blown away.
Despite the formerly gaseous shape, Colonel Norrett heard the General's statement and agreed with it. They both had yet to make the King budge, and getting serious might not change that. If anything, they were still alive only because that alien looked curious about their abilities.
That curiosity was veiled but became more evident with each exchange. As Colonel Norrett reappeared in the sky, the King looked at him, only to point his scarlet eyes at the General again.
That was due to Major General Arngan's ongoing transformation. He didn't get any bigger, not yet at least, but the spikes on his back grew and twisted. Also, his skin darkened even further, intensifying its metallic luster.
