Thanks I patted my bond before I let myself fall off her back The crisp winter air felt like sharp whips lashi+ng at round I intentionally veered away from the battle as to not arouse attention

“Tred! Vester! Take your units around for a left flank Dirk! Sasha! To the right!” Vanesy’s voice resounded with a confident precision “Rest of us, we group with Captain Auddyr’s forces and hit those Alacryan bastards froht up with Captain Glory On instinct, Vanesy whirled both of her swords atwho I was

“And leave my precious subordinate behind?” I smirked “No I sent Sylvie on an equally important sideto have you with us, but do you have any idea how an Alacryan force this size was able to get past us?”

I shook et the answer out of them?”

Vanesy’s lips curved into a wicked sswords “Sounds like a plan”

Vanesy’s soldiers roared, men and women alike, as they reached the Alacryan ar as steel cut into flesh Indistinguishable mutters sounded from the conjurers as they prepared their spells as archers released volleys of arrows fromenters and foot soldiers

The translucent panel that had protectedas a wall between me and the conjurer I’d never seen someone manipulate a barrier to such efficiency so it was obvious who I had to take out first However, the clawed soldier had already repositioned hithe sword I’d found on the ground, I dashed towarddistance, I stoht in front my opponent’s feet

This time, whether because the conjurer behind me hadn’t expected the spell or didn’t feel the need to block it, a barrier didn’t formenter attempted to sidestep, but the pillar still struck his ribs What shocked me, however, was the soundunderneath his now-dented ar his teeth with a pained expression, the augnored his obvious injury and dashed toward me with his mana claws With my fists wrapped in electricity, Ihi clad fist shattered his mana claws and broke his wrist on i hi the better of me He was so about how he—how they fought didn’t ht the opponent in front of menter but his body wasn’t even protected by uarded his hand at the lastto his side A flicker of disbelief and aritten on his face before the soldier clicked his tongue, turning his gaze toward the barrier-casting soldier “Oi, shi+eld!” he barked “Total body enhancement, now!”
