Since Toz had decided to go through the guards, there was nothing the glasses guy could do to change his mind.
"Can you pinpoint the guards' locations? Right! What's your name?"
"With enough time, yes. And my name's Brunswick."
"Great. Let's go."
Brunswick led Toz and the cats back to where he had stopped advancing previously.
Since the guards might notice them if they talked or sued magic, even if they tried to hide it, Brunswick used hand gestures to point in three different directions. Toz understood enough to maintain confidence about defeating the guards before they managed to alarm the other guards. Toz relayed Brunswick's information to the cats with the help of his inclination before they teamed up two and two to take down one guard per pairing.
Asilean and Mindle targeted the one on the left, Nil and Scrael went for the one in the middle, and Toz and Lucy attacked the guard to the right.
