"Raise your hands! Don't move from where you are!" the gunman shouted.
If it had been just one person, Farrelan definitely wouldn't have surrendered so easily—he might not be as skilled in combat as a lieutenant colonel, but he had weathered many storms and wasn't incapable of taking down an average person. The problem was that there wasn't just one person; it seemed to be a patrol squad. Besides the one warning him with a gun, four others were closing in, watching him from several directions.
He could tell at a glance that these people were all new recruits.
Surrounded on all sides, it might seem like there was no escape, but if they really opened fire, they could easily hit a teammate. If Farrelan decided to charge at the one with the gun, the others might not find a safe opportunity to shoot.
Nevertheless, Farrelan still obediently raised his hands.
He didn't want to gamble on that possibility.
