Half of the paladins on their horses were laughing at Jax's remarks.
One turned to the paladin holding the child with a grin splitting his face. "Did you hear that, Chief? This boy is threatening us."
All eyes were on Jax. He simply unsheathed his sword and let the blade catch the light filtering through the canopy.
"You guys don't understand, do you? But let me paint what the future looks like from here."
His voice dropped. "Soon this ground will be a bloodbath. Soon there will be corpses lying where you're standing. And the regret of not accepting my words will be the last thought running through your heads."
He scanned them slowly. "You will regret your decision when your souls look down and see the pain going through your families. Your children. Your parents. Your wives. When they see your dead body being carried home."
He let the silence do its work. "So choose wisely from here. And back off."
