"So we are going to move down the wall and start from there. But what are we going to do if the demons march on the wall before the army gets here." Rey wanted to say she would run out and defend everything. However, she knew that it was radical thinking that was just not possible right now.
"The hope is we can get there to help resupply then increase defenses. I can do a lot with earth magic to make things harder for the demons in madness." Walker's ideas were simple. Make things harder for the demons. Pitfall traps, trenches, walls, and whatever else he could make with earth manipulation.
"Would you be opposed to a storm? I can make so powerful winds that would send them in to chaos." While Ventus's suggestion was dangerous, Walker didn't hate it. The winds that she could cause were certainly enough to bring damage to anyone. Yet, it might be the perfect deterrent to hold the demons back longer. They wouldn't be able to make it out of their groups with the wind against them.
"That would keep them from sending anything but their strongest fighters. I know they are caught up in madness so they will try to fight through, but they won't be strong enough. If the wind isn't made in to blades or to throw around trees I think it's perfect." Since Gil had a better grasp of wind, he caught on to what Ventus wanted to do sooner than the others.
"If it has less of them then I will support it." Alice nodded along with Su. The pair were on the sa page when it ca to healing and preventing injuries.
"Brother, I will support whatever you wish to do. I like the sound of the wind and making defenses stronger." Onyx's mindset was the sa as the others. He would support the best way to prevent war from breaking out while they waited for another army and Barry to possibly show up.
"Then I will leave so crates of supplies for your n to bring down the way we are not traveling. We are going to leave within the hour. Does that work for you?" Walker glanced at the commander of the guards at this section of the wall. All he did was give a slight nod in approval before rushing to order his soldiers.
"Ventus, I'm sorry to ask this, but can you go ahead and wait at the wall? I want to make sure that if anything changes there is soone powerful to hold the situation in check." Ventus understood that Walker ant starting a storm. If he was too slow to get there and reinforce the walls, it was fine. But if she wasn't there to make the winds in to a storm, it wouldn't hold as many demons back.
"Do you really think Barry will make it from wherever he was after the fire dragon villages? That was all the way in the mountains." Rey was the only one to catch Walker with this question. She was trying to avoid thinking about it but it kept coming to mind. She knew that she would most likely get affected by the madness of Wrath sooner than the rest of the party.
"If not, we will figure sothing out. I might be able to use calming wave or a similar skill. It won't be the sa because it will be hard to fight while using it, but I will figure it out." Walker was willing to take this on his shoulders. If Barry didn't arrive he was sure that he could force a skill to work. If he couldn't then the battle would be much harder.
"If you can't then I will. Between Ventus and …the wind will be hard to resist." Gil knew that he would have to call on Zephyr and use the avatar of wind skill. He wasn't perfectly sure how to use it yet. It was a yard skill to grasp and abusing it would not co with any good side effects. He would just have to handle it.
"Both of you can wait. We will see what we can do first. If the worst does happen then we will handle it together. None of us will handle it alone." Su spoke firmly before Walker left the party to hand out the supplies and unload crates from his storage.
Ventus took to the air with her children. They left with a slightly stronger breeze than when they had arrived before. Walker could sense the tension in their around her. He knew it was how seriously she was taking this. If she called on Walker for assistance, she would want the sa level of respect and seriousness as she gave him. It was both a show of expectation and respect.
"We are going to move this quickly so we can move to the most in need portion of the wall. Let's do this!" Walker pushed himself to be more animated while passing out supplies. This brought the soldiers together even more since they could feel the determination. They felt the sa about defending the walls as Walker and the others did.
"Alice, I have had this tea bag in a flask of water for over a day now. It should help your throat a lot. I would say it will help it so much that you can speak by the end of the day." Rey had worked out a special tea blend using specific healing herbs for Alice. She knew that Alice had felt completely weak and useless without her songs to help.
The imdiate reaction from Alice was to hug Rey which made things slightly awkward. Gil didn't even dare make a joke. Even Su stayed silent, she didn't want to say anything that would ruin the mont that Alice would surely be looking back at with gratitude. Rey on the other hand just waited to give Alice the specially made cold tea, she would never sell this mix because of how hard it was to make, but it was worth it.
