Ashton honestly believed after witnessing their leader getting shit on, the rest of them would simply back down. But much to his surprise and annoyance, the soldiers took their weapons out and were about to charge right inside.
"This does not look good," Ashton stared at the civilians around them.
His five hundred soldiers were nowhere near enough to stop a thousand men charging at them. If they clashed, there were bound to be casualties and Ashton didn't want that.
Blood was the last thing he wanted to see on his first day since he took command of the city. But if his enemies were so desperate to die, then it was only right to fulfil their wishes.
"There can only be three reasons for their idiotic charge." Ashton mumbled, "Either they don't know who I am, or this man and his honour are more important than their lives or they know about me and don't give a fuck. Tsk, there's no time for ramblings. I'll have to take a gamble."
