(MC POV)
I covered about half the remaining distance before the second wave of bolts were shot at me.
This time instead of just stopping at my barrier, they were deflected off of it. One of them even flew back to impale itself in one of the guard's eyes, the man dropping his weapon to scream out loud in pain.
I continued my leisurely pace forward as though nothing happened, making a show of putting my hands behind my back as well.
The guards ignored their screaming friend and reloaded their crossbows, firing another wave of bolts at me.
This time they were smart enough to hide behind their barricades so the deflected bolts don't hit any of them.
"Do you know what's the definition of insanity?" I asked idly, not slowing down my pace. "It's doing the same thing over and over again and expecting things to turn out differently, like what you guys are doing now."
