Do'rhajul's response was almost instant as soon as he saw the light above him. "TO ARMS!" He shouted, which quickly stirred the camp to life. They all appeared to be disciplined, and were quite quick to respond to Do'rhajul's order. While Do'rhajul himself was unarmed and had to rush back to grab a weapon, Arinette was ready to fight immediately. 

Before all of the automatons could even be activated, Arinette used the power contained in the staff to unleash an exceptionally powerful burst of lightning against Sabine's ward. While the automatons would be charging in quickly, they had not planned for Sabine to be discovered in such close proximity to the enemy. They simply could not reach her in time to distract Arinette from attacking her. 

The attention was not on Ahnasha, but she was also somewhat distant from Sabine. She needed to help and started to rush for Sabine, still under the cloak of invisibility, but it would take her even longer than the automatons to reach Sabine. Meesei had almost certainly given the order for the rest of the warriors to advance, but they would be the last to arrive.
