"Brace for the incoming! This is not over!" The king of the middle lifted the hamr again and turned to guard the door. Walker had no choice but to retreat to where the king stood and prepare himself for what was to co.
"Can you lt that ice and slow the slis coming here?" The king of the middle had seen the degree that the water had helped and knew that even if Walker could not use the sa skill again that just having a lot of water on the ground would weaken the slis.
"If worst cos to worst then I should be able to use that skill combination again. But yes, I will lt the ice. I would rather conserve mana in case a larger sli shows." Walker was very skeptical since he had only seen the smaller slis. It was even more so since he had seen that the slis could easily combine at will, aning that there were most certainly larger slis sowhere.
"You an like the one that is trying to swallow my personal golem?" The king of the middle knew this was a possibility as well and did not flinch at the sight of a large sli wrapping its' sli body around the entire golem. The golem was trying to move and slash at the core while inside the sli but it was moving slowly and already starting to break down since the acid was eroding the smaller chanical bits.
Walker had a feeling that there were eyes on him and in a blur he saw an arrow pierce the large sli. The water elental mana converged and a large spike of ice grew from the sli. The arrow broke down causing multiple ice spikes out from creating a large ice crystal.
"Where did that co from? Was it another of your skills?" The king of the middle was ready to praise such a sneaky and powerful skill. However, Walker turned and pointed a significant distance away.
"That is Gil, the archer you t earlier. It looks like he found a good birds eye view on top of that small tower. He seems to be sniping with the water elental wither spike arrows. That should help reclaim the rcantile district." Walker said this completely calm. He was focused on the small slis crawling from the small side streets.
The king of the middle smirked at this since he had always thought of himself as humble and could relate to Walker who was humbly giving the full credit to Gil instead of taking it for himself. Walker didn't say another word and focused his gaze on the pieces of ice in the large sli.
Using the grand elental manipulating he caused the ice t start to lt and watched as the giant sli body started to lt apart and a cracked core ca to sit on the ground. He did the sa with the other ice shards and saw that the slis began to avoid the many puddles of water around.
This allowed the kings' guards and remaining golems to attack with their full strength and begin to crush the weakened slis. Walker would sense the water elental mana nearby every so often and knew that it was Gil firing arrow after arrow. Having eyes on the situation from so far away was incredibly useful.
"Ahhh! The thing! It's on !" There was a very small weakened yellow acidic sli that had latched on to one of the guards who was trying to tear it off desperately. The sli was refusing to leave the armor since it wanted to dissolve it and grow again.
"Sorry about this!" Walker used the soak skill and dropped a high amount of water on the dwarf. The sli dissolved leaving a core on the ground in front of the dwarf who stomped his foot on it over and over.
"That was good work. These n have been with for fifteen years as my guard. If I lost one it would be akin to losing a blood brother." The king of the middle refused to leave the door he was protecting but the pain on his face when his guard was in a dire situation was clear as day.
"Fight to the death!!!!!!" There was a chorus of shouts from behind the king of the middle and Walker. The sounds of footsteps and sudden appearance over thirty younger dwarves lead but seven adults and one older dwarf brought a fire to the king of the middles' eyes.
"We have co for you. The king and his guards are here with our guest. This hero says he knows you, Grey. But that is for later. Now we are retaking the rchant district." The king of the middle said this before taking a deep breath. "I order ever golem and able bodied fight to take up weapons and buckets. Soak the streets and wash away these pests. Crush their cores and rise up!"
The entire ara beca loud with tal grinding and shaking. Walker could feel and hear multiple golems being spurred to movent in the roads by these words. This trek to rescue those in the high forge and reclaim it had turned in to a complete offensive against the slis.
The king of the middle had seen the strategy of washing away the slis' body. They may not have magic but because of the steam, they had plenty of stored water that could be used to slow and damage the slis. The roars of the dwarves that ca through the various connecting tunnels caused even more noise along with an increased feeling of water elental mana.
"Hear that? There may be many magic users you have t, but magical communication is owned by the communication orbs we build in to our golems. They give us the imdiate responses we need." Walker was amazed that the king could brag at such a mont.
