Three guards fell back, clutching their chests, but Rothus would note they were mending. The other two blitzed Rothus, slashing from opposite directions. (One slashes left to right, the other right to left is what I mean. They are both in front of you.)

"I admit, these soldier are not the thinkers here, but do you REALLY think they would fall for that? I do wish you had consented to let me continue, the great science we could have done.

Guards, kill them quickly and then follow."
