Of course it's me! Hurry up! Girl! I don't have time to spend it with you!

Unless you help me clean up the other party's magician! Trent! Vanessa thinks she must be crazy, and she's bargaining with another person in her own head! And the other party seems to know his own thoughts well! It must be the spider's fault! Vanessa glared at it in annoyance and threw it against the wall of the cave far from her.

Don't look for me about this, I don't have that many talking spiders.

Then why did you let it bite me!

Because you've fallen under the spell of Dormition! You idiot!

Maleficent? Isn't this kind of thing only found in legends and fairy tales?

People have long prevented you from using earth-based magic. Trent's voice snickered. That enchantment mage has limited mana, and the enchantment can't reach into the ground, so he planted a sleeping spell at the edge of the forest, and if you just stepped on it, if I didn't bite you, you would starve to death in the dirt.

Vanessa shuddered as she listened. Thank you for sacrificing your life. I'll have to go back to the ground and remind everyone to dig a tunnel.

****************

Brandt noticed that Vanessa was missing, and began to search frantically until the princess peeked out of the reddish-brown soil.

"Other! Call your men to stand in array! Vanessa shouted, "Dig the tunnel!" The barrier doesn't extend underground! ”

"Shield Array!" Other immediately gave the order, "Concentrate the two teams and dig with long swords and throwing spears!" Fast! The Commander's short, gray beard shook in the morning breeze and the rain of arrows, and for the first time he looked at Vanessa earnestly, his deep brow tightened.

The princess dragged Brant, "Where's Andy?" ”

"Outside the barrier," Brant raised the oak shield in his hand to resist the rain of arrows like flying locusts, and his body continued to shake from the impact of the arrows, "Other has just given the order to go down and prevent the baggage wagons from entering the barrier. ”

This guy who gets in the way! Vanessa glared fiercely at Other's back.

Looks like I'm on my own. Trent, are you still there?

Where else can you be if you're not here? There was an angry snort of the magician in his head.

I'm going to dive again, and if I fall under the Sleeping Spell again, please bite me again.

"What are you going to do?" Brandt grabbed the princess, she was so strange today, she always disappeared without saying a word, as if she was preoccupied.

"I can't wait for them," Vanessa said as she looked at the mercenaries who were still digging the tunnels, they were making fast progress, but still not meeting their requirements, "I'm going to find the magician before they kill him." Vanessa's eyes sparkled with excitement, and her right hand spread over the earth-based talisman on her chest.

"I'm with you." Instead of letting go, Brant took advantage of the situation to grab Vanessa from behind and sink into the ground with her
