Chapter 1311 1311. To The Edge



The distance from the ravine that the party was heading toward was larger than expected. The golems with defensive prowess had been set up in pairs with those that could attack long ranged. The ballista golems were the ones that would be attacking first, however, they needed the defensive golems because of the giant earth ants speed. Anyone that had seen the speed at which an ant could run would know that just because these ants were giant, that they couldn\'t charge at the same speeds.

The mages that had been brought with from the elven forces were small but would be adding elemental attacks to the mix of ballista arrows to keep the giant earth ants at bay. The true test of the ranged attacks would come when they were all focused on the ants that would eventually swarm in the ravine. They would need to hold the ants off completely so that the main force golems could lower themselves in to the ravine and push the ants back in to the tunnels. Once there the golems would be limited to smaller groups but so would the ants. But the golems and the ants would be on home field advantage due to their comfortability within the underground.

"Gil and Alice look pretty intimidating at the top of those large bear golems." Two bear golems had been set aside to be used at the mounts for Gil and Alice. They were set up that way because when they moved to a standing position it gave Gil and Alice a higher place to stand and direct their attacks. Walker had spoken with the pair and they were both planning to rain down attacks as accurately as possible. This meant that Gil was using one arrow at a time while Alice was not using her song to make multiple light elemental arrows at once.

"Su, you smash with your shield and I will crush them." The combo that Remey and Su were planning to use revolved around Su breaking the defenses and movement of a giant earth ant then Remey jumping in to land the finishing blow with a defense breaking strike. It was great in terms of beating the ants in an efficient and controlled manager. On top of that Su would be able to better control the situation around them since they would be inside the tunnels with limited mobility for the ants. That was where the small two person team would shine.

p "Midnight, I want to use your strong suit here. We will both use the shadow wrapping skill to move inside. I want us to be able to set up ambushes and break the flow of the ants\' attacks for everyone." Walker knew that he and Midnight would be the best for this. The king of the deep caves also wanted the pair nearby so this would ensure that it remained this way.

The king of the deep caves was taking the front line as any king should in his opinion. He was standing ready to be one of the first to descend in to the ravine with the main front line golems. Instead of the normal pickaxe that he used to mine, he had a one made with many unique metals. The large size made it appear that he was wielding a hammer instead of a pickaxe. Whereas the spikes on either end were perfect for breaking and piercing.

"Move out and crush those bugs!" The shout shook the air and a few scouting ants perked their antenna up before moving normally again. The call was enough for the ballistas to fire their first round of large arrows toward the scouting ants. Those that struck took down their targets easily. Those that missed carved in to the ground and some even went as far to fall in to the ravines.

Walker noticed that small patches of ice were blooming ahead of them which were from Gil firing away with water elemental arrows and sniping skills. He was careful to aim for the ants that were rushing back toward the ravine. He knew that if more of those ants reached it then there would be a swarm sooner than the army wanted.

"Alight, be ready." Walker felt that this situation didn\'t feel real. He was watching such a perfect organization that wasn\'t just happening in just one place but three. He could understand that he was still young, but the distance he had to learn and reach a point where he could organize such an event seemed all too far. He had always left most of the big planning of large groups to the kings or queens of the kingdoms. One day he would need to be able to do this and more.

A wave of the eternal orb staff form caused the light elemental mana to condense around them. This was perfect for Alice who was preparing a few large spikes of light. Her song was just as brutal as Walker had heard when they saw the boars. It was proof that Alice had worked hard and was more prepared to join them on adventures than even he knew.

The spikes of light arced through the air at a slow pace but appeared to attract the attention of the ants. They were used to the darkness of the underground and didn\'t use their sight much. The bright light was enough to differentiate and distract them before the spikes would come down on top of them. This stunning effect surprised Walker but led him to use the theory to create a very bright orb of light that he sent forward on to the edge of the ravine. It didn\'t last long but caused the perfect build up of giant earth ants to become targets for the ballistas. The strategy sped them up enough to push past the scouting ants.
