[Ikumi POV]
The eastern parts of Sherwood Forest.
Ikumi was leading a group of forty frost hares as they cleaned up the enemy groups, a bunch of imps and small tribes, as she looked different from the past.
Her pretty white hair seemed to have grown longer, now tied in half-braids down her cheeks and a ponytail at the back to avoid it getting in the way during combat.
"Vema, how many squares can we conquer today?"
She looked back at her old friend from the village wearing leather armour with a chainmail dress protecting her vitals and holding a spear and shield.
Most hares came in three types: the sword, spear and archer.
Swordsmen chose to wield longswords with small round shields fixed to their bracers or gauntlets but no longer blocked the heavy blows and fought in a style more of dodging and countering rather than tanking blows.
