Chapter 351 - Battle Between Wizard And Neotides (6)

Isidorus had been diligently casting spells to create a solid wall in the breached area but at the back of mind he knew that if a powerful wizard like Cy comes, he would be able to break those spells. Thinking that he would start casting the spells more vehemently. It was 6AM by the time he was satisfied with his work. There were other wizards working with him including Ziu.

Initially when the wall was thin, they could see that the neotides outside were crashing against it trying to break it with all their might. Isidorus hated the sight of the neotides. He was satisfied until the wall was thicker and he could no longer see them. All of them left once the walls were fortified.

Reese had been lying under the rock with arrested limb movement. She was in her human form and she could hear the howls all around her. Her mind would keep going back to the werewolf that attacked her and the wizard. In some distance she could see the torn apart bodies of the wizard and her general. It was during the break of dawn when she could even feel her limbs. She moved her fingers slowly and then moved her feet. In another half an hour her movement was restored and she sat down. She looked around her and found that the neotides were all now retreating and hiding back in their places because of the daylight. 

One of the low cadre neotide came to her and reported the night's adventure. "The Queen of the Wizard Kingdom, Adrianna had created a force field around her and none of us could enter. Taking advantage, Isidorus recreated the wall. We have to wait until the next wizard comes."

"Gahhhh," shouted Reese. Had she been okay, things would have different, she thought. She waited for another batch to come and until then instructed all the neotides to stay hidden. She estimated that the next batch along with the wizards would come by night. 

Although Cy had decided to leave in an hour, his fellow wizard stopped him and said that they would leave in the next evening because none of the neotides would come out and risk their lives in broad daylight. 

Cy suggested Vikra that they should attack the Werewolves Realm and try to divert Adrianna's attention but Vikra put down that suggestion. "No. I don't want to waste my neotides on the werewolves. If it will attract the attention of the pure-blooded werewolves, they will join Adrianna and attack us from the back."

When Dmitri woke up in the morning, he found Adrianna curled around his body like ivy. His wounds had completely healed. He removed her from him and got up. He looked at her face and stroked her cheeks, "The queen of my heart," he whispered. He had to go back to the Werewolf Realm and thought of attacking the neotides from behind using her army. While he was thinking about the strategy, he went to take a bath. Yesterday's battle was just a small showcase of Adrianna's powers. 

When he came out he found her awake staring at him. He went to her and lied down beside her. Pulling her on his body he embraced her and said, "Good morning Adri." 

She smiled and buried her face in his neck. "Good morning," she replied, her voice was warbled. "Dmitri, I don't want you to involve your army in this battle now," she said after a while. 

Dmitri knew that she had read his thoughts but he was shocked. "Why Adri? Don't you think that if we attack them from both sides, they would be squished in between?" 

"You don't understand. They are no match to the wizards, at least this is what I could decipher yesterday and so we will be able to take them all down. I just don't want our werewolves to spend their energy in killing the neotides. The neotides are very large in number and it is the number that we have to deal with."

"I don't agree with you Adrianna," replied Dmitri. 

Adrianna got up from him and said, "I have summoned other wizards in an hour. We will discuss our next strategy. As far as I know, none of them are going to attack during the day, which means that they are hiding in the jungle somewhere or the other."

"True," replied Dmitri wondering about her strategy. 

Adrianna didn't reply. Instead she went to take a bath. In the next hour they were all sitting in the main hall discussing the strategy. Isidorus, Mihr, Ziu, Fleur and the eight top Mozia were present there who had learnt to fight like elves. It seemed they were also the commanders of the specialized army. 

"We need the werewolves to attack the neotides from behind," suggested Ziu. "This way the neotides wouldn't have a way to go anywhere. And from front we will attack them with full force. I say that we should all take them tonight with full force." 

"Yes, I agree with Ziu," said Dmitri. 

Adrianna stared at Dmitri and replied, "No." 

"But why Adri?" asked Dmitri out of desperation. Sometimes she was just too arrogant. 

"Because they are not going to come with full force tonight. Didn't you see that only one wizard was there whereas according to our messenger there were three wizards with Vikra. Also, don't forget that Vikra himself is a great wizard. So practically there are three more wizards. I highly doubt that tonight Vikra will come," replied Adrianna. "So if we spend all our forces tonight, what will we be left with the next night?" 

"Why do you think that they won't attack with full force? It is highly likely that Vikra may come tonight," argued Ziu. 

"When he sent only one wizard yesterday, it means he is going to attack in batches. Every night he would attack with fresh batch of neotides. This would ensure that he is attacking with full vigor," she reasoned again.
