"Amelia! Go back to camp and bring as much water as possible! Any other liquids as well!"
<Roll the water barrels over one at a time>
"Got it!"
"What's the plan David?"
"Any of the mages here have any profociency in water magic?"
"Three of them, why?"
"Tell them to use up all their stamina and flood the western half of the battlefield".
"Water mages! Flood the western battlefield!"
"But that wide of an area won't slow them down much! It will only tire the front line faster!"
"Just do it!"
Yes boss!"
"Good, that half has becomd mud".
"I rolled a water barrel over!"
"Go get anothet one!"
"Clarissa, hand me a blunt arrow. Micheal, throw the barrel over the east side of the battlefield."
"What's the plan here David?"
"Throw it. If we use enough water, the ground becomes mud. Power Shot. Speedy Shot. Mud leaves tracks. There you are. Penetrating Shot."
"Look, the arrow you shot stopped in the air".
"That's not air, that's the undead healer".
<Hey, undead healer, you should pull out that arrow and head to dry land. Also, scrape the mud off your feet>
"Mages, fire at that floating arrow!"
"Clarissa, stop. Don't use that arrow".
"Oh wind, cut the enemy apart. Wind Slice"
"Oh fire, hit the far enemy, Fire Arrow"
"Why not?"
"Oh earth, bludgeon my enemy, Stone Shot. The arrow fell to the floor!"
"Track it by the muddy footprints!"
"Oh divinity, purify the unholy, Holy Shot. It's not there! It scraped off the mud!"
"That's why. Smart little bastard".
"Here is another water barrel!"
"I got it!"
We kept repeating the process until...
"This is the last water barrel. Maybe we should save.."
"We can get more water later Micheal. Throw it!"
"With that broken barrel, now the entire second line is muddy. There it is! Power Shot! Speedy Shot!"
"Kill the damn undead!"
"...Stone Shot"
"...Holy Shot. Hey, a broken skeleton with a robe appeared!"
"We got it. Micheal, how are the earth mages on stamina?"
"All the mages except for Amelia are out of stamina. They won't be casting any spells any time soon."
"The warriors are tiring too fast. Amelia, can you harden the earth with fire magic?"
"Oh fire, burn the feet of my enemies. Low Fire Fan"
"All warriors, jump now!!"
"How are we on arrows?"
"David, we got two left, both sharp."
"I'm joining the front line".
"With what weapon?" I pull out two rods.
"With these". I run toward the front line.
"Warriors, slowly retreat! Cover one another!" Micheal has always been a cautious guy. And that's what I'm counting on. He doesn't have the Far Sight skill, so he didn't see what the fourth line is made up of. Maybe I won't have to use any poison at all.
Sorry for taking so long. Life has been kicking the crap out of me, including my course work. I am keeping track of how many chapters are owed though. You will get them...eventually. This week I am changing the schedule to 3-5 chapters per week though. Support me on Patreon!! https://www.patreon.com/user?u=13313227
