Tales Of New World: The Magus 33 The Knigh

"Hold the ground! If we let them slip, it will doom the village behind this camp!"

Every knight immediately shouts and continues to hold the undead as they push the undead further to the gate. Not long after that, Ludmila run towards Helena,

"The number of undead on the east side of the already dwindling, Helena."

"Are you sure about that, Ludmila?" asks Helena

"Yes, I am sure. After the last wave, we didn't see another undead come."

"That's good... What about the western side?"

"I didn't get any information from them."

Helena looks at Ludmila and could read that Ludmila is quite hesitant about something. She then looks at the unit in front of them and asks Ludmila,

"Is there something happening, Ludmila?"

"Huh?"

"Even if you use the helmet, I could read your body language. There must be something wrong about it."

Ludmila looks at Helena and then takes a deep breath. She then says,

"I just got a piece of information from the scout and archer that stationed at the outer wing of the east side of the camp. They mention that there is a small group of undead pa.s.sing through the east side."

"Huh? They already pa.s.sed the barricade?!" says Helena

"Yes... I just sent a small group of cavaliers to hunt them. But, they haven't come back yet..."

Helena then looks at the group and notices the number of the exhausted units is increasing each pa.s.sing time. She grits her teeth and suddenly hears someone approaching them. One cavalier unit stops near them and report,

"Your Highness. Lady Ludmila. I want to report that the small number of undead that pa.s.sed through our barricade in the east has already been eradicated."

"Already eradicated?" asks Ludmila

"Yes, Lady Ludmila. We find some undead already dead because someone slices them and someone burns them down. And also, for some reason, there are a lot of plants that hold them."

"Huh?"

"Should we continue our investigation?"

After hearing that report, Helena immediately smiles and says,

"So, Sir Villias and Sir Albert already send them here..."

"Your Highness?"

"I order you and your team to patrol and attack any undeads that pa.s.s through the east side again," orders Helena

"Ah... Sir, Yes Sir!"

After the cavalier leave them, Ludmila says,

"So... Sir Albert and Sir Villias sending Romain and Volya to help us rather than help them to protect the village. Why did they suddenly change their plan?"

"I believe Sir Albert gambles on Volya will find the source in this mess..."

Helena and then notices a group of knights already back to full recovery and orders them to exchange with the exhausted unit. She then says,

"Then, I could say we don't need to worry about the eastern side."

"Yes..."

"But, the western side didn't give us any information about their condition... It worries me."

"You are right, Helena..."

They observe the skirmish in front of them and notice that there is more knight in the front line. Ludmila peeks behind her and notices more knights coming to their aid. Helena smiles at the knights that charge to the front and says,

"I will return to the frontline... After you finish reorganizing the east side group, help us in the middle area or western area."

"I will, Helena... Just wait for me."

Helena immediately runs towards the knights and leads them once more. Ludmila looks at Helena and then at the knight that comes from behind her. She then says,

"The number of knights that comes here... Isn't Helena already sent some of them to take some rest..."

Not long after that, she notices one knight is running at her. The knight stops and says,

"Lady Ludmila, here is the message from Lady Katrina."

"Lady Katrina? Sure, tell me now," answer Ludmila

"Lady Katrina said that Volya already helps the knight to recover faster."

"Volya already help them? That's a piece of good news. What about Romain?" asks Ludmila as she smiles after hearing the news

"Romain is helping the western side right now. I believe the morale there is lifted with Romain presence," said the messenger

"Good to hear that... But, I know that you are hesitant about something. What is it?"

The messenger looks at Ludmila and then says,

"Sir Volya is exhausted from helping us, but the last time lady Katrina checks him, he is gone from the camp."

"Huh?"

"We don't get any information and right now we are searching for him"

Ludmila surprised after hearing the report from immediately looks the messenger and then the messenger continues,

"Lady Katrina is searching for Volya right now... Just hope that she finds him soon..."

"..."

"I will..."

"I believe you don't need to search for him. He must be on the western side to find Romain."

"Huh?"

"Just say that... It's a hunch. But, I believe he already finds the mage location."

The knight looking at Ludmila and after hearing what Ludmila says, the knight leaves her. Not long after that, the group from the eastern side are gathering near her. Ludmila shouts,

"I will divide your team here. Two groups of crossbowmen and one group of halberdier will help Your Highness in the middle area. Two groups of Cavalier will become your protector to the area."

The selected groups' nod at Ludmila and then Ludmila continues,

"The other group that consists of two groups of swordsmen, one group of Halberdier, and one group of crossbowmen, follow me to the western side. We will help them now!"

"Sir, yes sir!"

Ludmila immediately runs with her group to the western side to find out that most of the undeads already obliterated in a gulf of flame. Ludmila stops and then asks the knights there,

"What happened here?"

"Ah... Lady Ludmila..." said one of the knights when noticing Ludmila comes at their aid

"What happens here?"

"At first Sir Romain comes to help us and command us. The moment he joined and led us, the number of undead started to dwindle and the injured knight less than the time without a leader." answered the knight

"Just a moment ago, Sir Volya is coming to help us and Sir Romain. And suddenly there is a big red mark in the sky and not long after that, it is raining. Not a normal rain, it's raining flame!" answered the other knight

"And in the split second every undead has burned to death again!" continues another knight

Ludmila looks at the front her once more and mumbles,

"They are reliable..."

She observed around her and noticed that the two guys were missing. She then asks them,

"Where are they now?"

"I believe Sir Volya asks Sir Romain to join him. He said something about the location of the mage and rushed to the forest." answer one of the knights as he points at the forest entrance near them

"Then, why did any of you didn't help them?" ask Ludmila baffled after knowing that

"Sir Volya told us to stay away from this and continue to protect the camp. If the number of knights is lessened because of some of us following him, it will cause a big catastrophe to the village." answered one of the knights

"And he mentioned that the mage is still sending the undead legion to here, so we need to prepare ourselves." continues the other knights

Ludmila looks at the knight and then at the forest entrance. She knows that the situation is dire, but she is concerned with the two-man condition. Especially after hearing that Volya just fell because he is exhausted from using his magic.

But, before she could do anything one of the knights reported that a horde of undead is coming to them. She looks at the forest entrance and then at the horde of undead. She closes her eyes for a moment, takes out her sword, and shouts,

"Prepare yourself! We will stand our ground and protect this area! Don't let any of them leave our place!"

"Sir, yes Sir!"

As her unit prepare themselves, Ludmila looks at the forest entrance once more and says,

"Please stay safe, both of you..."
