The creature that had stepped out of the tree line was not the only one.
Rex knew this before it had finished deciding what to do, because the Foresight feed was still running, and it was showing him twelve more in the second layer of the tree line, seven in the third, and an indeterminate number deeper in where the foliage was too dense for even his foresight to resolve individual shapes from the mass of movement.
'Shit... there's more than I thought it could be, but eh... I bet they're weak as fuck.' Rex thought. 'Since I do have privilege, then... this is the right time to be reliable for these girls.'
He had about four seconds before the one in front decided.
"Alright, listen up, both of you," Rex said in a commanding voice, catching the attention of Talyra and Aisella as they glanced at him simultaneously.
"Talyra," he said, maintaining a steady tone. "Aim your arrow at the center mass, not the head."
