"Attention, all of you!" Bhishma shouted as he lowered his two swords from their stance. His body turned while looking at the villagers in that place, including Izunaya's troops surrounding us.
"I will make this a tournament. The two of them are challengers," continued Bhisma, pointing at me, who happened to be standing with Anya.
Anya and I started to prepare, strengthening our strategy's foundation with our skills. I said briefly to Anya that Bhisma's words made us enter the battle circle like a competition.
"He used the soldiers and the villagers as shields. He seems to be waiting for us to get tired," replied Anya, standing with her back against my back.
