With how nothing had happened for days, it eventually became a group decision for them to go ahead with that plan.
Ash executed the plan when there were far fewer people around but everything needed to be handled very quickly.
When Ash finally got the courage to step forward and do it, she improvised a little by kicking the first one among them who approached her with ill intentions.
The kick was delivered between their legs with a lot of force so at least one of them was unable to move for some time.
Luck was on her side since another one among them had decided to stay back while the others chased her.
Even reducing their numbers temporarily by one was enough to help the plan be much more successful but two being left behind created an even greater advantage for her group.
An ambush after luring them into a more secluded area with less visibility created the perfect conditions to take them all down without suffering a single injury.
