The entire sequence happened within an incredibly short amount of time—from the figure cloaked in optical camouflage stepping out from the right side of the rock, to the dense crowd of figures emerging simultaneously behind him.
Then, as the leading figure turned his head to glance at the two men hiding behind the rock—the stocky man and the wiry one—all of this transpired within a mere ten seconds.

The stocky man reached behind his waist and grabbed two iron hammers, spinning his body like a massive bowling ball, and charged headlong into the crowd.
The people—or rather, the soldiers—were all dressed in uniform exoskeleton armor, their reaction speeds lightning fast, as they immediately raised their Gauss rifles, aiming squarely at the stocky man.
