“Master, the casualties are climbing quickly!” Miki warned.
“Terra!” I gave out a one-word order.
Terra pushed the elephantkin aside and then slammed the ground. There was a low rumble, and then dozens of deep dwarves darted out from under the earth. They used wire lines, attempting to catch the feet of the racing Hoovedkin. Many slipped and fell, breaking their charge, which might have overwhelmed our forces right there.
“We’re losing the line!” Xin cursed.
“Back off and support Terra in keeping those towers up.”
As long as we were able to keep the towers, we could keep the line. Xin was all I had left to send. Bernice was already on the front line with Terra. Miki was currently resurrecting people. Celeste was still trying to keep anyone from entering the sky. She was successful, but that didn’t stop innumerable magicians still hiding in the forest from sending spells her way. She didn’t just dodge them, but she kept them from fall on our people too. That was enough that it consumed all of her time. I had utilized everything we had. At the moment, we were fighting roughly even. It was about 6000 troops against another 6000 troops.
“The apekin! They sent them around to counterattack. They’re trying to get into the dungeon. Some are going after the palace. They want out god spring.”
“Elaya, do I need to send reinforcements?” I asked.
“No... I got this.... Ah crap!”
“What?”
“I don’t got this! Master, they have explosives! They’re going to blow a hole into the dungeon.”
I made a fist and punched the wall. In the end, the enemy just had too many of them. We weren’t able to keep up this fight. They were too powerful as an army. In a straightforward battle, there was no way we could win.
“Girls to me. We’re going for option B.”
