They just refused to obey to him. Gone was the prideful look in their eyes. It was replaced by restlessness and fear.
Barika scorned the mages and no longer paid any heed to them. Although seeing them in that state made him felt good, he had urgent matters to attend to do. "Send out the signal!" he roared as he approached those who were tasked in calling for reinforcements.
