"If we surrender now, they'll kill us all!" an instructor shouted, trying his best to not hide how desperate he had become.
Another instructor yelled next, "See! He ignored us and killed the disciples! He won't spare us!"
"The only hope of survival is victory!" a couple of instructors declared in unison.
Still caught up in the moment and already wading through the deep water that was a revolt on the Lightning Lord, plenty of disciples sounded battle cries and resumed the attack. And it only took a moment for the majority of rebellious disciples to rejoin the battle as well.
Barely one and a half dozen disciples backed off due to either indecision or the intimidation of Captain Ribard. But some of those stragglers failed to break the ranks freely. Half of those surrendering were hewn down by their own comrades, killed by the most decisive rebels.
