The pace at which they were killing the harpies was not bad, by any measure, and they would be done with them in a few minutes if all went well.
But the next wave of enemies was only seconds away from rising above the volcano's cauldron, and Alex had to make his call now.
He wasn't sure he was ready to trust Liu Yan enough to show him this part of him yet. And there was also Killian and Aapo, whom he had only sparsely met in the game.
Hearing the screeches of the next wave, as the harpies collided with the barrier as soon as they crested the edge of the mountain, Alex grit his teeth and cursed.
"We can't keep fighting them here! I think there are too many of them on the hill below," he shouted, catching everyone's attention.
The numbers they were seeing also surprised David. The harpies hadn't been nesting for long, so there should be this many of them.
