Baisitina and her people witnessed an astonishingly powerful Javelin streak across the sky. It plummeted into the earth with the force of a meteorite. The three strongest men in their group tried to pull it out but couldn't even budge it.
The one among them with the sharpest eyes, an Eagle Shooter, claimed a human had thrown it. The others, however, found this utterly unacceptable. The distance was three hundred paces; likely not even a Giant could hurl an iron javelin that far.
Baisitina knew this was both a demonstration and a warning, so she raised a white flag and ordered her people to continue forward.
This was the only chance she could see. If she didn't seize it, there was no telling what the future would hold.
She understood that opportunities are fleeting; any hesitation could mean losing this one.
As expected, the vigilant Beastman Warriors on the hill did not attack again, allowing them to approach to a distance of fifty paces.
