However, unlike what Woo expected, he only got silence from Doaf.
The latter had no solid intel about this invasion, however he was quite sure it would be near.
"Sir, what do you want us to do?" Gor and Deem recognized Doaf and Ara instantly. They bowed to the two while addressing Doaf.
The fa of Ara being impulsive and hard to deal with was known even among Arthur's ranks.
"What is the status of the shields and defenses?" Doaf asked while he tried not to bring the na of Arthur to them.
"We have already activated the shields in full capacity," Deem said, "and we instructed our n to redeploy the traps around that sect."
"Good," Doaf nodded, "please add more, add everything you have out there."
"We will," Gor said before suddenly asking, "if I may, I haven't seen my lord yet. Is he out for a mission?"
Doaf was faced with what he tried to avoid. He controlled his face while exchanging silent glances with Ara.
"He is… out there to do sothing important," Ara said, "he left us to lead the fight here."
No one of the two doubted what she said. After all Arthur was well known for doing things in his own way, and usually he was doing these solo.
"Try to install as many traps inside the sect as well," Ara tried to get the two busy all the ti so they wouldn't bother her or Doaf by asking about their missing lord, "fill the entire sect to the brim with traps."
"This…" it was Woo who was startled by this order, however the glaring look from Ara made him all silent.
"This is going to be a long and very hard defensive battle," Doaf tried to give proper reasons for everyone, "so it would be safe to be ready for any infiltration from now."
"I see," Woo nodded despite not believing a single word of what Doaf and Ara said. In his opinion this was nothing but obsessive behavior of feeling threatened all the ti.
Even with all the odds, the sect defenses withstood the entire war and weren't damaged except at the end.
And even when that happened, only small gaps appeared there.
However Woo didn't know that was thanks to Deem and Gor. If not for the two and their n, the shields would have long gone during the early hours of the war.
"We will proceed then," Deem said before Gor turned to Woo, "we will need your help with arrays and people to aid us."
"Follow ," Woo excused himself and left the three behind.
"I don't like that Woo," Ara said while squeezing her eyes.
"Leave him be, he is a good man," Doaf took a deep breath, "the main problem is clear now, we don't know when they will attack."
"The more ti we give them the harder it will be for us," Nicole said while the two gave her a weird look. "What?" she chuckled while asking.
"Look at you," Ara couldn't but smile, "acting like a real general. I'm even surprised by that! Why didn't you ever lead an army and go to the frontlines before?"
Nicole knew Ara wasn't trying to be sarcastic or making fun of her, she seed really surprised.
"It's just I don't like wars," Nicole sighed, "but that doesn't an I'm not able to lead armies."
"I can tell that," Doaf said before adding, "so we have to do sothing to force them to co… What would this be?"
"There is only one thing that could force them to co," Ara suddenly said and from her eyes Doaf realized what she was thinking of.
"Nicole, can you lend us so of your n?" Ara turned to Nicole and asked for help.
"I don't mind that," Nicole said while playing with her hair, "but on one condition."
"I agree," Ara instantly said.
"Won't you know it first?" Nicole asked in interest.
"You'll ask to co inside and know what we are going to do there, right?" Ara grinned before adding, "you are most welcod to co and witness our work there."
Nicole could only smile in silence as Ara really read through her wishes. "Alright, I'll send my n with you," she said before suddenly adding, "I also have sothing else to do there."
Doaf seed to be startled by that. And yet Nicole looked him in the eye while saying that. "You shouldn't send anyone to trail soone like , right?" she directly confronted him and slightly was like this close to scolding him.
But she didn't.
Doaf could only sigh while watching the large number of Nicole's mages entering the world of Ara.
"Let's go," he started this by ordering so of his most capable n to watch her, but in the end he missed his chance and in return Nicole sent her n with him to keep an eye on what he was going to do.
In the end their seats were switched and he couldn't do anything about it.
After all, he lacked manpower and needed Nicole's n's help right now.
Doaf entered his world as well while he and Ara had the sa mission in hand. They had to force those hostages to spill out what they already knew about the enemy and their plans.
However Nicole had another mission in hand.
The mont she entered Ara's world, she instantly ordered her n to bring those whom they captured to one location.
"Are you going to interrogate them?" Ara watched Nicole's mages pushing so of them to one location.
"They are loyal to my love, so I won't kill them," Nicole calmly said, "but if they didn't trust as they trust her, then I have no use for them."
"Try to kill a couple of them first," Ara started giving advice about how to interrogate people, "this way they will realize you aren't bluffing and will spill all the beans without any effort."
"Oh, I like that," Nicole laughed, "I never knew you have such a dark part in you."
Ara only smiled while watching Nicole leave towards the location of her captives. "It's life that's dark, that's all," Ara couldn't help but comnt to herself about what Nicole just said.
Then she turned towards her captives and started her own interrogation.
