Seeing the familiar face of Helen Shard, leader of the Twin Horns that Art’s father had once led, I excitedly waved at her and the rest of the Twin Horns behind her “Hi Guys!”
I gave the leader of the Twin Horns a large hug before greeting the rest of her party
“Guys, I’d like you to meet Helen Shard, Durden Walker, Jasela Rose of the Twin Horns I’ve told you about the them as well “This here is Caria Rede, Darvus Clarell, and Stannard Berwick”
“It’s a pleasure to ela, the Twin Horn’s conjurer “Darvus Clarell, fourth son of Darius Clarell, and I ht for these sore eyes of oes straight to the one with the large…” She didn’t finish her sentence as she ly
I looked down at ure, but looking at the two boys practically drooling over Angela’s woure, I couldn’t help but wonder if even Art preferred…
“How long have you been here, Princess?” Helen’s voice snapped me back to reality
“Huh? Oh, we’ve been here for about three months now, I think,” I replied “And please, just call me Tessia
“Sorry We’ve only ht it’d be rude,” she chuckled
“Did you just get here?” I asked, ht of both Stannard and Darvus trying to flirt with Angela
“This afternoon We were at The Wall for about four months before our party was sent here to help out with the scouting,” she explained as Ifire
The Wall hat everyone called the stretch of forts built along the the Grand Mountains to make sure the battle didn’t reach the other side While I knew that the Alacryan forcesfro myself, to explicitly keep it a secret until proper preparations had been made
Fortunately, co well over these past few reed to let the hudoet to that stage, especially the elves, because the distance between the Kingdodom of Elenoir made it so only teleportations could be used For now, rated across the Elshi+re Forest and Grand Mountains near the central cities of Sapin For now, Graet as many civilians as possible out of the western coast and away fro the Wall, Helen?” I asked, curious about where a lot of the ainst Alacryan ri Out at the Wall, it’s not just the Alacryan soldiers that we have to fight against but the mana beasts that they somehow put under their control as well”
<hr><hr>
“I see” I looked atI’ve done ever since I had joined the as against the mana beasts under the control of the Alacryan forces
Noticing the look onon here are just as important, maybe even more—trust me The more mana beasts we kill here, the less there are up at the surface And if we find and kill afor the the fights down here were crucial to this war The athered here were to find the eon Mutants were eon, that were controlled by the Alacryans They used the mutant to control the hundreds ofas these mutants existed, side the Alacryan soldiers
There were dozens of squads out there, deep inside various dungeons, trying to find and kill the h mana beasts and advanced toward the Wall
Usually, there wouldn’t be this eon, but one of our scouts had found signs that a S class mana beast had been turned into ainside here is supposedly a S class es here, which is e’re here,” the largeour conversation
“Thank the heavens for that And for dear grandfather for bringing such a fair angel into ela’s back
Angela just giggled, regarding Darvus as a cute puppy, as Caria sed him ahere he could keep his hands to hiela when she cooed and pet his head like so with his crossbow-like weapon with a scowl on his face
“Tellin front of the Wall, Helen” I turned back to the leader of the Twin Horns
“Look, Princess,” Adahts that happen at the Wall aren’t bedtime stories that your nanny reads to you inside your fancy canopy bed It’s war! People die—on both sides”
The spear wielder with a head of red hair that looked like the burning fire ere huddled around glared atwhen Durden got in between us “You can’t take Adam’s words to heart or we’d have all killed hily, I was already standing up as Durden intervened His words quelled laring at the lanky emberhead Arthur had mentioned how Adam could be when he described the Twin Horns, but I didn’t realize how o set up our tents around one of the e amount of authority in her voice that wasn’t there when she was talking to o help hiru only Helen, Durden and Jasmine—who had been silent since they had first arrived
“Adam, despite how his words caue, only said that because he didn’t want you to know,” Helen sighed “You think you’re over here fighting beasts, but in actuality, the Alacryan soldiers are much more monstrous than any ht for survival and instinct They fight to kill, and to some extent, that’s mercy”
<hr>
“What do you mean by that?” Stannard asked, his face pryed away froain
There was hesitation on Helen’s face as she tried her best to sugarcoat whatever she was about to say until Jasmine had stepped up and explained for her
“Information is the most important in a war,” she said evenly “Both sides, they’re trying to get infor”
We were all silent for a moment as even Darvus’ usually aloof expression had hardened
“Battles here are black and white—beasts are bad, you are good When you’re fighting other humans, elves and dwarves that can all talk, screaray and it beco,” Jasmine continued, her face a stone
The once lively atlances with my teammates
Suddenly, a series of loud sated entrances that led deeper into the dungeon
“Please, hurry let me in!” A muffled voice yelled froe of that entrance quickly verified theit open
