Hearing the distant echoes of combat, a new wave of demons sprang into motion. They mounted their swift beasts, darting through the forest, leaping between branches and crashing through the trees.
"Those two rats are more trouble than we thought. Surround them. Kill them quickly!"
Others moved with more subtlety, weaving through the underbrush and shadows. The ground quaked with the sound of distant impacts.
"How are they still controlling the golem? We should've already weakened it!"
"The golem's not the problem. We kill the one controlling it, and it falls."
But before they could act on that plan, several arrows slammed into the body of a mounted demon. The force threw him backward, his body smashing into the trunk of a thick tree.
"How the fuck are you getting hit from that far?!" another demon shouted in disbelief. Only to be struck mid-sentence by another powerful arrow that sent him tumbling down from his mount.
"Damn it! They can fire from this distance?!"
