Bab 236: Martyrdom

Lofty's introduction caused some of the weaker members of the company like C-class mages etc to falter involuntarily. For A-class knights like Balin, and even some of his squad captains, however, Lofty only seemed like a nuisance.

"Mages shields!" Balin yelled from the front. Instantly all sorts of barriers appeared. Be they of fire, water, earth, air, or even of pure element-less mana. There were layers upon layers of protection.

Following the roar, Lofty remembered Ed's commands and instructions on how to wield and attack with its mace. Under normal circumstances, what was essentially 30 skeletons in a trench coat wouldn't be able to remember and process all of these things but Ed's command skill meant that the orders needed to be heeded.

Ed created a very specific series of instructions allowing for a limited move set to be made for Lofty as well as his regular skeletons. That was also how Ed accomplished creating archer skeletons.
