From the forest beside the riverbank came a sudden 'buzz' noise, and the green bushes seemed to sprout countless spikes. These spikes formed a semi-transparent black wall that swept across the pebble-strewn riverbed. The cave dwellers at the front were caught off guard and collided as if they hit an invisible wall.

The cave dwellers were dumbfounded by the sudden rain of arrows. The ones at the front kept retreating, while those at the back continued moving forward due to inertia. Hundreds collided on the riverbank, creating chaos.
"Great opportunity!"
Hidden in the bushes, Yuta and Fern, the two mercenary leaders, instantly had this thought. They drew their thin sword and giant sword, seemingly ready to seize the moment and lead their men in a charge to crush the cave dwellers.
