What we see in that scene is Nyreen, leaving an advantageous elevated position to take out the first three adjutants at an extremely close range, only to find hrself circled by three more adjutants coming from behind because she didn't take care to get her back covered. She got herself in a totally stupid position without no good reason, it's not like she couldn't try to kill those adjutants from the flank, or stand in their way to protect the running civilians. A pointless sacrifice, designed by someone who never gave a thought what a trained fighter would do in such a situation. - BTW, Lily, you still haven't answered.
