Battle ragged the forest as the arrows and groans of pain could be heard from outside. This was gorilla warfare tactics at its fullest. Tarou on one end decided to join the monks in archery. He grasped a javelin and took position along with the rest of the fleet. As for Zhiro he had decided to take a different approach. As he took off in another direction. Two monks witnessed this as they nodded to each other. In seconds they started following Zhiro to see what he was planning. Watching the boy take a position and then head into the battlefield. The only assumption was he was going for a flank maneuver. With that being said the Monk decided to follow Zhiro into battle! One of them donned a dual war-axe. Edged and perfectly crafted by a fine blacksmith. As for the other Monk he possessed a long spear in which he seemed very skilled.

They both of free will had decided to follow Zhiro into battle. Arata took a background role easily accessing his abilities as the wildlife was his domain. Summoning fourth insects from different locations. They would easily slowly start to swallow enemies in the forest. Creating a pathway for Zhiro to take advantage of and move deeper into enemy lines. Though, he needed to note, making a move like this could jeopardize his own life. Had Zhiro continue knowing the consequences, the other two monks would follow suit and watch his back. Tarou up top would be safe, but he would surely notice 2 monks would be killed through a headshot. The gruesome sight of an arrow lodged into someone's skull. Brain matter all over the place, it was not pleasant to witness at all.

Regardless, he would need to stay focused and fight back as any moment of weakness the enemy could prosper from. Tarou would soon come to notice enemies were before the temple walls as they started to make their way up the single set of stairs up front. Many of them possessed shields as they used it to block off arrows. Some of the arrows used against them would be successful to kill some leading men. This would push the entire row of men back down the stairs to avoid them from getting closer. But eventually they would break through and make it, unless a different tactic was used in response. The gang of misfits seemed to be prepared as Zhiro would be able to see how dense with enemies the outer lines were. This would prove that Jin wasn't lying when he said they were surrounded.

Zhiro rushing forward with the two monks would come across a fleet of archers hidden in the bushes. They were well camouflaged, but if one were to look closely they would notice them. Especially since they had to cock their arrows back before shooting. But Zhiro needed to be smart. He wasn't fully sure how many enemies were in this area. So his choice needed to be wisely picked as anything would set them off and make them the target to their territory. From what Zhiro could witness, there were 5 visible archers. They were blending in, but needed to reload and shoot again gave their position. What would he do next? As for Tarou what would he do next since the bandits were closing in on the temple?
