Burden - Chapter XX.6
He didn't realize she paused.
"What?"
"The king is gone, so these people will fight for me now. I'm ready, Dad. Tell us what it takes to win. "His daughter is not yet eight years old, and she is so skinny that if she turns sideways, you can't see her at all. She pointed her forehead to the alien artifacts and crossed her arms.
"We ......" he opened his mouth to speak, but closed again. We can't fight. We've got to run.
He looked back at Natuk. The man hurried through the procession and woke his man out of his stupor. Then there were the Aliens opposite, hundreds, heavily armed and on horseback. The best thing for the Nightmen to do is to retreat cautiously. They had no chance of winning, and now even retreating could not save them.
Still, he's feeling uneasy. The decision was made, but...... He looked at the battlefield again. Consider. Measurement. Plan, plan, think. He sketched out one strategy in his mind, then another. And then the third. He glanced at Hugh and felt the fear of the giant's presence suffocate them.
There's a way.
Agunn collapsed to the ground, his hands on his knees and pants, and Flower walked over and put his hands on her shoulders to make sure she was okay.
The dwarf asked, "Where's Pepper?"
He's watching...... Other...... Child. She reluctantly said.
Androx looked back and saw Deanna, who was also coming this way. He waved at her, and she jumped a few times as unkindly as she did, crossing the rest of the distance.
"Deanna, keep Gabi alive. Got it?"
The young man nodded, clenching his fists.
"Aguna, the shield won't help us in any way, because I'm exhausted. Go where you like. He said.
"I know where," she said, and then closed her mouth, indicating that that was all he meant.

Okles said: "Flowers, focus. Can you keep up with me?"
"I'm sorry, Dad, I was thinking about it again."
"About your name?"
"Yes. Can you tell me what it is?"
"Nope. Now think no more. You stay with me, but stay away from me, lest you be cut. I'll protect you, but you'll have to be careful. Can you do it?"
"Yes, Daddy! The boy said, pretending to be serious. He pulled his good knife from his shirt and got ready. The little mouse was as brave as ever. His gray hair and furry ears are completely dusty and dirty, but this only adds to his charm. A

Okles smiled slightly, thinking to himself that Flower's old family was really idiots and couldn't see his worth.
"You're going to yell or sing, not fight. I hope. Be prepared. ”
"Yes, Dad."
Andlos muttered to himself, "I hope you're looking at this, Patos. It's going to be a mess. ”
The faintest whisper came from the wind, barely audible on the roaring earth. What else can I do, fool?
Flower tilted his head and pricked up an ear, which reassured Androx that the whisper might be true. Probably.
"Okay, Gabi. This is what we need. These things have to stay together because if they fall apart, they can be easily killed. Together, no one dared to accuse them. Do you understand? They were scary together, which gave the Nightmen room to fight. The only way we can win is to strike hard at the Outlanders and make them escape. ”
"Well, they'll run away, because we're Agapatis!" Garbi said, he was so confident that he almost grinned.
"Yes, we are. Wake them up, flowers. Wake everyone up. Androx said.
"Yes, Daddy," said Hana. He gradually calmed down, his eyes glazed. He opened his mouth and began to sing, the melody was simple, the tone was clear, and the volume was getting louder and louder
The sun overhead exploded, sending a flood of flames in all directions. Androcles saw them approaching from an incomprehensible height, falling, dashing down and shattering everything. His heart was filled with panic.

Okles blinked twice. It took him a second to realize what was happening, but everyone he could see was awakened by the scene.
Flower kept his mouth shut. Then he opened it again and said calmly, "I had that nightmare."
"Therel" roared in response, the sound knocking down the trees. His stone face grew angry, and he climbed higher from the ground, revealing half of his chest. He raised his arms, and out of them were rocky vines thicker than the road, long and long, winding through the air like tendrils. With their hands clasped together at each end, the Shur raised his hands on the battlefield and threw the human half below into the shadows. Fight. The threat was clear - he was ready to start smashing.
“Ga
BI, charged! Flowers, from now on, you will shout out whatever I say. Demons, kill knights, don't kill horses!, man! Now, now!"
Gabi stared at the enemy. She pointed with her arm, and the monsters rushed frantically towards the aliens, and the silence was terrifying.
Flower repeated Androcle's order, and when the Nightmen saw the chaos caused by the monster, they summoned up their courage and rushed in.
The alien and the demon regained their wisdom at the same time, but the horse refused to obey them. The animals flinched, trembling like dogs hearing thunder. The enemy's battle lines were spaced out so that the battle on horseback was frequent, so that everywhere gaps were left, and the horses stood still, which became a burden. More than half of the aliens have shields, but they can only protect so much because they can't connect them together.
Gabi's monsters are efficient and destroy everything in their path, but they are limited in number. What surprised Androx was the efficiency of the Nightmen. They seemed to have become accustomed to such skirmishes, and the timing of their attacks was perfect, as they rushed into the gap, slammed into one of the cavalrymen, and then rushed out again.
In the space of three breaths, the first group of aliens was ripped off their horses and torn to shreds. The riderless mount jumped backwards in fear and confusion, further disrupting the formation.
Andrew walked forward briskly and did not run; He will be part of the battle, but he will not get involved in it. He must be ready to command. Fortunately, his arms and spear were long, plus two demons distracted the rider and it took little effort to make a hole in the enemy's chest.
Luckily, the Nightmen were too short to see how many aliens there were.
"You two people, put it away!" Fold into a wedge! He shouted, raising his spear high in the air, trying to make a gesture.
Flower repeated the command again, loud as a needle pricking Anjax's ear. His high-pitched voice drowned out the hustle and bustle of the battle, and soon, the end of the hairy Nightmen team slowed down and tightened their formation, forming an awe-inspiring arc with the monster at the center.
