Hero, Don't Kill The Demon King! Chapter 1: Lives Not Yet Thrown Away

The number of soldiers breaching that side of the wall were dwindling sure enough, but the rate was still cause for concern... still, as far as he could put himself to the task, Agni was confident he'd handle far more than his own weight with this new spell.

Agni to (3,30), casts Nosferatu on Sword Armor #5.

What part of- no time to worry about that now. Their new arrival had immediately thrown herself into the fray, and while she had done alright against her first opponent, the beastgirl had crumpled under the assault of an enemy mage. Moving into position as Agni moved to assist the far breach, Nessraya immediately applied her staff to Suki, bringing her to her feet.

"Suki, let me handle this side. Move towards the centre, we have a few more breaches and fewer people there... and please be more careful this time." Nessraya directed, trying to keep the irritation out of her voice. She didn't seem like a member of the garrison... just whose family had nearly thrown their life away?

Nessraya to 6,30, equip Nosferatu, and heal Suki

Well, aside from the poor showing from the wolfkin... they seemed to be holding steady. It seemed the General had triage down pat, so dwelling on that appeared pointless. Poor little... Suki, if she recalled correctly. Cute as a button, but the girl had always seemed so... slow and lumbering, in sparring sessions. It made little sense considering her build and lack of armour, it must have been a consequence of how she had learned to use a sword... either way, she had paid for it, this time. Hopefully it wouldn't be a lesson that would cost her more than bruises on her body and pride.

Though, seeing the General bring her back up to fighting form did give Nisha pause. Through the gap, she could just spot a healer on the enemy's side... best to prevent their foes from potentially seeing such a boon. A little repositioning, and a high shot over the wall should arc down in just the right spot...

Bridgit to 25-25, shade Merc #9

It may be a good idea to pull her dear sister away after this battle to have a talk about how she feels about the surge of killing she's been doing and the lack of feeling coming from her afterwards.

...

.....

Or she could let future Bridgit deal with it later.

The battle was more or less finished on this side, but Ayane still knew there was danger in the air. So she decided to head back into the city to rejoin the others. Ren, who was still in the town, saw his cousin reenter and dart around the corner. He joined her, hoping to keep her butt out of trouble.

Ayane moves toward 23, 30. Ren follows toward 23, 31.

The enemy were pushing too deep into the town, and it looked as if the defense might be overwhelmed soon. They would have to regroup and fight closer towards the center; it was time to go.

It looked like their centre was overexposed... this flank was mostly dealt with, so it seemed about time to pivot. They would need to try and get the people already there extracted, and form a defensive line- and there went Amera. Not that Nessraya could blame the guard Captain, but it didn't help their overexposure problem.

"Amera, try to fall back a little bit, you're overexposed. I suggest making use of the corner of the town walls for cover." Nessraya noted as she approached the catfolk, launching a bolt from afar towards the enemy armour. It seemed a commotion was taking place outside of the walls, but for now they had more pressing matters.

Nessraya to 10,29, attack Bow Armour 2 with Bolting

"Ah, thank you...?" It seemed a bit odd, but he'd seen well enough the effects of these dances on his new allies.

Wait, a long time...? But this was supposed to be a new form of magic...

The sudden feeling of fleetness flowing over him took his attention from his thoughts, however, and he turned once more to face the enemy.

"Mind the main gates, they've breached!" Agni raised his voice, hoping to get through to the allies in his vicinity. "Let me handle these men." He was outnumbered, but he felt confident. He could bring them down with some smart use of his weapons.

Agni to (6,28), attack merc #6 with his main gauche.

Marina took a hefty hit from the horseman that charged her, but she retaliated before they could flee and regroup. With a cough, she reached her hand down to feel her chest, she'll find a fix for that when she had the chance. There was too much going on. She could barely see, but she saw fighting outside the walls. Did reinforcements really--

No. No there wasn't.

She recognized the color of the blurs from so far out. Coteon was here, and her fears spiked. She shook her head, she had to focus, there was too much she needed to do.

"Gabriela!" She moved over to the girl, pulling her back, "Get behind me, okay?"

Marina moves to 12,30, rescuing Gabriela.

"M-Marina, are you alright!?" Taliyah was right behind her, helping Gabriela along. She'd taken a wound, but something else seemed to have spooked her. Her face was paler than the lizard girl had seen...

Taliyah to 12,31 Take Gabby, Drop Gabby on 11,31

"I'm not over exposed! I'm right where I wanna be! These fuckers are gonna get what's comin' for them-- wahhh, h-hey! Put me down you damn nightwalker!" Lavinia had come along with Nessraya, forcefully carrying the overeager fort commander to a spot of safety.

"Wolf girl. Take her."

"Ah, y-yes... M-Miss, Nessraya. Bolting, heavy! You, uhm... This tome, use it."

Lavinia to 11,30 rescue Amera
Suki trade Nessray Bolting for Blizzard or something, Take Amera, Drop Amera on 10,31

"Put, me, down-- SUKI!?" Amera's ire was lost when she spotted the wolf, the purple haired girl shrinking and trying to smile. "I told you to stay hidden! You're not cut out for a real fight yet!"

"I... S-Sorry, they... C-Come, to house. I want help... Sorry." Sheepishly hiding behind her sword, there wasn't much time for further interrogation.

"Guhhh, just... Don't, get yourself killed!"

A good deal of their line had shuffled off towards the centre of town, leaving just a few invaders remaining on the flank... hmm, with that Agni fellow taking that guy out... yeah, that should work well enough. Darting through the shadows to a better vantage point, Nisha nocked and loosed an arrow at one of the swordsmen, ducking back into cover before they could get a lock on her position.

Nisha to 7,27, Heavy Draw Merc 5 with the Steel Bow

The battle that had been going so quickly up to this point had suddenly slowed down. Three mercenaries were charging him, preparing their blades to attack. Bladen stood ready, strangely wavy sword at the ready. A rush of calm came over him. This was something he'd trained to do, here and now, he could fight. And if they were attacking him, that meant others were safe. With Xalrei bleeding out, that alone was enough to give him comfort. The first mercenary charged in, a second too quick for Bladen to position properly. The blade cut deeply into his side before ripping out, leaving blood flowing down his side. A brilliant flash of light shone out as four blades of light surrounded his sword as he lunged back in a counter. They slammed heavily into the man before Bladen's blade pierced deep into his heart. The light served to blind the next man, throwing off his aim as Bladen managed to cut deeply into his enemy, though only a faint glow of the light remained now. The third mercenary, wisely, stayed just out of his range, tauntingly close, as the blade of wind magic released from the blade sliced a few shallow cuts across his arms.

Before he could push forward again, others joined the fray, dropping his enemies and leaving him sore, but alive. As he took a breath, he spotted a far off glint, like the faint reflection of light. He jumped into the air, wings flaring out to keep him in the air just long enough to spot what he feared. Landing back down on the ground with a heavy thud, and a wince as he was reminded of the wound in his side, he cursed. "Ow, dammit, gah. Dammit, dammit. There's a village down there. If the enemy still has more reinforcements, or those damned knights decide the city isn't their only target... The citizens there are sitting ducks. They need to be warned. Xalrei! I'm splitting off from the group. Stay safe by Erephis or the others, ok? I'll be back soon. I would stay but someone needs to warn those villagers." Hopefully she would listen and not go charging off after that strange twisted version of the Hero who had just shown up... As he started to trot off in the direction of the village, he failed to notice the miniature glowing sword of light that danced around his head, a remnant of his magic staying strong.
