She was immediately reminded of the baby, so he frantically ran back. When she reached the baby's location, her fear surged as she saw his helper covered in blood, struck by two arrows in the chest and already dead. So she ran, not to fight the mysterious man, but to save Maximus.
The man's real goal was to kill the baby.
He drew a piece of bowstring from h quiver to shoot at the smiling baby who was staring at him. He stared at the baby before his fingers pulled the tail of the arrow. And he let go, saying "goodbye" in a slow tone.
But a shout erupted, "Nooo!" It was Maviel who was hit in the chest. She was still brave and managed to stand up, step closer to the baby, and shield her own body for her son's life.
The man was about to draw a second arrow but stopped and stepped back because the soldiers had arrived to capture and pursue the audacious enemy.
