Review their strategy

Seth ORLETH

The twilight was tinged with an orange color and it blessed the sky with its fabulous brilliance. a gentle breeze caressed my face, I would have liked to enjoy this spectacle which rarely presents itself in my miserable life.

But a strong smell of blood and burning flesh had caught up with my nose, I felt as if these nauseating odors were making their way straight to my brain.

"It's really unpleasant!" » I thought.

I released my breath, realizing that by reflex I had been holding it for a long time. Since I had mixed feelings about how the battlefield unfolded.

It is true that until a few minutes we led the battlefield as we pleased, but after the appearance of these "variants", they were so numerous and so strong that we had to review our strategy.

The general and the officers moved forward, they responded to their attacks, although it was still difficult for them to take down any of them, they managed to push them back out of the breach, leaving the mages time to prepare.

Lord Rakahn knew it well, no matter how much his strength had increased in recent days, he still could not face a whole fifty variant monsters while he himself was a newborn variant, he had neither experience, nor enough understanding of his skills to do so. So he opted to use our last card.

While we were evacuating the soldiers who were inside the big wall, the last survivors among the monsters tried to escape but they were quickly picked off by the archers who were on the wall.

Next to them I swallowed while watching this spectacle.

Even after years of witnessing this kind of barbarity, I couldn't get used to it, I quickly looked away, I let my gaze wander around until my eyes met Katia's.

The young elf with blue eyes beckoned me to come down and come towards her, I couldn't refuse since she was now superior, so I jumped from the high wall, strengthening my legs with essences and I landed on my feet. feet.I quickly ran in his direction.

She stared at me with her blank stare, honestly I always felt a shiver every time I tried to be around her, her blue eyes looked at me as if she were reading me to the depths of my soul.

"It's embarassing !" I muttered under my breath.

"I'm going to need your help," she said suddenly.

"To do what ?" I replied, softening my voice, "if I can afford it!"

She stared at me for a long time and lingered for a moment;

"Come on, not that between us, I may be a non-commissioned officer but you're also the leader of the cleaning and supply team, so I don't think I'm qualified enough for you to treat me like that ."

"But…- I stammered, wanting to dissuade her.

"We don't have much time, I need some mana gems, I think before we leave, the master has concocted a very large quantity for us, I think it's high time we use them then..?"

Indeed, the master had entrusted me with a large quantity of mana gems that he had prepared just before we left. While searching in the remains of his Clan, Sir Akumu had found a basement full of mana stones, since they were no longer of any use to the Ibara clan, they generously offered it to us, so the master was responsible for purifying them, making them available to everyone.

"Each mana gem can contain up to five times your essence stones, you know very well that misuse can lead to consequences, I hope you will pass on the message to the mage not to damage their stone by absorbing all the force mana." I said in a stern tone.

"I don't think you need to worry about that," she replied, giggling, "since you're going to distribute everything!"

"You see I'm a busy woman."

" Name of a dog !! » I cursed in my mind.

"do they take me for their handyman?"

"It's exactly that !" Katia commented teasingly.

"Are you able to read my mind now?" I asked "is this your new ability?"

"I don't have anything like that!" She informed me, "it's just that it's easy to guess what you're thinking."

I was speechless, I didn't know what to say, I stared at him for a few moments then turned away.

A moment later, as I nervously crossed the battlefield, I felt a shiver run down my spine when I saw the state of our leaders who were supposed to keep these creatures outside the wall.

They were covered in wounds, their leather armor could no longer provide them with any protection.

Despite everything they desperately continued to face them, after all if they couldn't do it then no one else could.
