"This native must be an idiot! He actually dared to stop us! I'll deal with you for Lord Ram, you little ant!"
One of the invaders immediately spoke up and stepped forward to attack, eager to impress Ram and prove his willingness to serve him.
The others silently cursed themselves for reacting a beat too slowly and losing a chance to demonstrate their loyalty.
