Although the result would be a bit bloody, Billy's friends like to hear that. Sarah looked particularly excited since her face was a bit tense. It seed that she wanted to use sothing new, but she was worried because it would be the first ti she would use it on a battlefield. Still, before getting excited, they needed to be called to one of the battlefields.
It didn't take long for the enemies to finally arrive, and the clash began. Their unit was waiting for a command in the middle of the town since it would be faster for them to move once they were there, and even though they were so far away, they could hear the cries and hoars of soldiers fighting and falling. Billy kept looking toward all directions since once a ssenger appears, he will know what to do, but Alexander only looked to the North.
"You know that is easier for one of us to cross the army while fighting to take the heads of their commanders than Lily letting soone hit her, right?" Billy asked.
"Yeah, I know, but…" Alexander said while clenching his teeth.
"While she is in tip top condition, no one can stop her, she can even see arrows flying toward her, there is no way that she will get hit," Billy said. "Unless her condition isn't great."
"Well, she looked a bit pale this morning…" Alexander said.
"We are forced to change our schedule and this is a war, after all," Billy said. "So discomfort is to be expected. It isn't like she is having morning sickness…"
Billy said the last part as a joke, but the surroundings got eerily silent. He looked toward Kate and Natalie, and they looked away.
"Seriously?" Billy asked after he facepald.
"We don't know for certain if that is really the case," Kate said. "Lily also thought that she just ate sothing bad."
"Even so… You should have ntioned this earlier," Billy said. "When did she start to feel like that?"
"As soon as we left ho," Kate said.
That would be one heck of a bad al since it has been bothering her for over a week. In any case, it would take a while until anyone can confirm that, even Lily. While sighing and shaking his head, Billy made his choice.
"Take your group and go help the Northern gate," Billy said.
"Is it fine? We need to follow orders here," Alexander said.
"Who cares about orders, you won't be able to focus entirely here anyway, might as well make yourself useful on the battlefield that you want to be," Billy said. "Regardless, I will take responsibility for this. So, don't worry."
"Thanks, Billy, I owe you one," Alexander said.
"You owe more than one, over the years, I lost the count on how many favors you owe ," Billy said.
Alexander left the area while smiling. He knew that Lily would be safe no matter what, but sotis people wanted to do that kind of thing. Even though it seems aningless, it wasn't.
"You are so thoughtful, Billy," Kate said while smiling.
"Praising won't help you three," Billy said. "Later, we will talk very seriously about this incident. Even if Lily isn't pregnant, this kind of thing should be inford."
"Even I am going to be scolded?" Sarah asked.
"If you knew, then you will," Billy replied. "Is there any reason why you should receive a different treatnt?"
"... I suppose there isn't," Sarah said.
As soon as Alexander's group left the area, Billy saw a ssage coming from the eastern wall. It was ti to move… However, when they were preparing to leave, Sarah stopped them.
"There is sothing I would like to try and for that to happen, we can't pierce the enemies lines too much," Sarah said.
"A new spell?" Natalie asked. "I guess it would hit more enemies if we let them accumulate nearby us. I should work well enough as bait."
Sarah didn't like that idea, neither did Billy, but they understood that Natalie wasn't going to be too reckless. Billy was just planning to go all out and even put so points into strength and speed, but he decided to wait and see what Sarah was going to do. In any case, the gate was opened, and the several squads began to leave, but it didn't seem like they would have ti to assu positions properly. So enemies were dangerously close.
"Assu your lines as we advance!" Natalie shouted.
As if they had trained for that kind of situation, the recruits marched toward the enemies and assud lines of fifty n each. Billy was unaware of it, but each of the recruits had their positions morized. Still, there were three groups there, and two of them were of ranged fighters, so Natalie's students advanced first. So of them wielded two swords, while so used only a single and long one. Still, all of them were ferocious and didn't hesitate in charging toward the barbarians. Winning against them was another matter, though.
While they couldn't advance that much, Natalie and Billy didn't waste more than a single mont with each enemy in front of them. Billy used Light spears in their heads or heart, making them fall in a single strike. Their shields weren't impressive…
Eventually, the barbarians stepped back, and then the cavalry on the side of the battlefield began to run toward Billy's group. That was bad… The recruits were at level fifty at best, and all the riders were above that, adding the power of the horses, they would be killed by the droves, but then Sarah finally put her plan into action. She stopped to concentrate for a short while and then touched the ground. The air on the battlefield changed in the next mont, and the temperature decreased.. The cavalry that was approaching suddenly lost their speed when moisture erged from the ground and quickly froze the area around them.
