"We should probably move faster. It sounds like there is a lot of fighting up ahead." Walker turned for a second and yelled behind him, "Prepare for the battle ahead. We will assist the miners!" The dwarves and golems behind thumbed their chests in response.
"I can't do too much when it cos to breaking them so I will be supplying any water attacks you use with my potion. I will also find soone in charge that can start to direct water at the slis. Maybe there is so kind of holding pool that I can add my potion to so that the water they use can be a weapon against the slis." Rey had the best idea for the situation they were in.
"I agree, you shouldn't be risking your safety against the acid in the slis. I think weaponizing the water against them is best. Gil, I will need you on the look out for the larger slis that we may have trouble with. Midnight, do your thing. I want you to help those on the edge. Rey, pass so of the potion please." Walker stored away one of the barrels of the basic potion while the others fell in the line.
The royal guard took the lead of the crossbown and they moved much faster down to the mining area. When Walker reached the bottom he saw an expense in front of him. There were multiple carved stone buildings with dwarven machines coming out of them. They were all stopped and many gears were half eaten away by the slis. This was a huge stoppage for the dwarves who would normally run their mining operations all day every day.
There were multiple slis that had lted in the puddles of water which caused dwarven miners to rush out of the stone buildings and begin battling them. "Let's go and help them!" Walker rushed forward with his hands free to create a frost whip. He knew that the ice needles he could fire from it would be the best use in the situation. He would be able to use the needles to freeze portions of the ground and make the slis dilute their bodies or even lt them completely.
"Who are you!? Get outta our mines!" One of the dwarves in front of Walker realized that there were those that were not miners or dwarves around and reacted instinctively. They did not usually allow any others in to the mines, especially at this trying ti.
"I am one of the heroes here to assist your people. The king of the surface and the middle have both sent here. Now, look at the help we have brought after taking back the rchant district!" Walker gestured to the golems that were spilling from the passageway to the rchant district.
"Ha! Boys! The fight is on and the mines will run soon. Crush these goo blobs and get back to work!" The voice reverberated off the cave walls making the mana vibrate slightly. Walker could tell it was so form of skill that made the words echo everywhere.
However, the sound was not what was most important. It was the fact that every dwarf in the area seed to beco more energized and begin to move quicker. "Nice skill. I think I should help as well." Walker used his multi buff skill sending a wave out that added even more boosts to the dwarves and even the golems fighting.
Walker was surprised for a mont that the dwarven golems had even been buffed by his multi buff skill. It was a good thing to know for the future since Walker was planning to et the golem craftsn in the high forge.
Realizing this was not the focus of their current quest though. They needed to get rid of the yellow acidic slis frost. Walker whipped the frost whip in to action and fired off the icy needles. They impacted in front of multiple slis freezing the basic water below them. These puddles were mostly Rey's potion and water mixture but were quickly becoming all salt water.
This ant that the slis were avoiding the puddles making it easier for the dwarven miners to crush their cores. Walker witnessed multiple pick axes pierce through the sli bodies and pierce the cores with precision. This only spoke to the great skill that the miners had when it ca to their mining.
Gil was doing exactly what Walker had asked of him. He had found so of the dium and large slis that the dwarves couldn't fully pierce with their pick axes or crossbow bolts. This was causing them to lose their tools and ground in the battle. However, Gil was sending the water elental wither spike arrows out one after the other. There was a constant stream of attacks from his point of the battle.
The arrows caused many ice crystals to pop up and cause the slis to dilute while lting the ice crystals. This broke down their bodies enough so that the dwarves could easily pierce the cores in one or two swings. The rate of defeat when it ca to the slis was always increasing.
Whenever a sli neared Gil they would be ambushed by Midnight from the shadows, her claws shredding through the sli body and tearing the cores apart. She was being careful to run through the puddles which washed off any of the sli body left on her claws and keep her scales from taking any damage. Walker only glanced at her for a mont before looking for Rey.
He was glad to see Rey had made it to the larger stone building where there were multiple miners rushing in and out. Her yelling could be heard for a second before a stream of dwarves rushed out in to the battle making it easier for everyone. Walker knew that Rey had just taken charge and sent out more dwarves, he just hoped that she was able to get the water attacks ready since the barrels of potions she had were the key to defeating the slis.
