If I’m going to be honest: I doubt so. I mean amidst the threats, the belittle demeanour and insults toward them, they were put on greater edge over his refusal to even meet on common ground.

To then pull out a creature, say that it could murder all of them, to them kill it in a terrifyingly display of power would push them over the edge. This is basically saying ‘I can kill you all if I want’.

And really, for people removed from the main lands were greater magic is present, that would be cause for panic. If those duty bound to protect you run, I don’t think the common folk would see it as a reassuring. It'd be like us seeing the national guard running away from someone or something with shouts of evacuations. Or the army.

He basically demoralised the guards, which expands on the villagers, trusting in them to shelter them from any threat. The same people fleeing in panic, dread.
