Unfortunately, Lenwood didn't react in time as the figures rushed at them. The figure that slashed at Lenwood cut him deep in the chest. Lenwood collapsed into the ground, no longer breathing. At the same time, Satoru failed to notice the third figure in time. His head was cut clean off by the third figure.

Zypha succeeded in disarming her attacker, and kicked him to the ground, making him fall over. The man scrambled back onto his feet and reached for his belt, pulling out a flint lock pistol. He quickly took aim, and fired at Zypha's chest. The second marine dashed towards Zypha's right and slashed his blade at her right side. The third figure who killed Satoru dashed forward at Abigail, who was still holding her blade at the marine. He slashed at her back.

"I...I don't know what plan of attack they have for the forest, exactly. But I believe that these are just regular Marines who guard Yami whenever he goes anywhere. They're slightly faster then regular Marines, but that's it. The smoke bombs are to provide an escape for our Captain if things get out of hand. Captain Yami will be long gone by now." The marine responded to Abigail.

And, indeed. The smoke had dispersed by now, and Yami was no longer there.
