Necolia turned back just once, and the group lined up immediately seemed startled, holding their breath, afraid to move, terrified that these seemingly formidable two demi-humans would deal with them all.
What was most peculiar was that Fisher keenly noticed that the leader of these humans, upon seeing Fisher and his group, would first turn his head to look back. Behind him at the forefront were three elderly men holding pieces of fractured stone slabs. When the leader turned back, the elderly man in the middle pursed his lips towards him, then slowly slid his finger along the slab upwards until it stopped at the topmost area.
Fisher instantly understood what these humans were doing; they were likely informing the leader of the humans roughly about the Guardian Rank of these two demi-humans, to better assess the threat level present.
And when the Clan Leader heard the rank reported by the elderly behind him, he also instantly made the decision: run.
