"Prince Karl, what a sight for sore eyes. Of all the things that we expected to be coming our way, Thor and Rae were not even on the list." The Prince next to Karl informed him.
"I take it that we have met before. How is your team? Skilled fighters or recruits on a training mission?" Karl replied.
"All skilled combatants now. We were reassigned from the Mountain Giant front to try to reach an anomaly that opened west of here. There is a rumour that it is stabilizing, and it might be high-ranked."
As the man spoke, Karl realized where he knew that voice from.
"Prince Corbin?" He asked.
"Right in one guess. Muffin is four or five spots down, and Tamarind is on the other side somewhere."
Karl didn't remember a Tamarind, but he was more focused on the battle right now than people's names.
"And the others from the Yeti anomaly?" He asked instead.
"Larry and Darrel, the Commanders, are here. The other youngsters had duties at home."
Karl continued to casually fire arrows into the crowd while Remi stood with her arms outstretched, guiding her main vortex with her hands while Karl let his roam freely.
Corbin sent arcs of energy that were rather similar to [Rend] into the zombie horde, keeping them back of the defenders on their side, but some of the others were beginning to have trouble on the far end, where there was no Royal and no Hellstorm to slow the attack.
"I will move to support the others. Once this initial wave slows, we can talk again." Karl informed the Spellblade with a quick nod of his head.
"Greatly appreciated. We will see you soon. Let me know if your team needs to take down that regenerating barrier. The mana it grants is likely all that is keeping our Ascended Blades going at this point."
The fight had only just started, they hadn't been fighting for more than fifteen minutes. But if they had been surrounded when they woke up, they might be working on four hours of sleep, and they would have burnt a lot at the start of the fight.
They were doing their best, but most of the Spellblades weren't specialized in multiple enemy fights, and these ones had most likely been fighting Giants before being sent on this mission, the same as Karl and the others had. It limited the skills that they were familiar with, as large area attacks were less effective against widely spread, larger targets. But the zombies were shoulder to shoulder, and packed tight front to back, trying to claw their way to the living.
