"I am going to help Commander Ervin!"
Soren declared with confidence.
"Huh?" Nuelia's eyes widened. "W-What are you saying?! Y-You can't! They're strong, and y-you can't use... mana."
"Thanks for worrying, but I know what I'm doing." Soren smiled at her and turned to Lariel, who was now wearing fine elven armor. "I'll leave it to you. Don't screw it up this time."
"...I won't," Lariel replied after a pause. "However, the same goes for you."
Soren chuckled and, with one Phantom Step, broke out of the formation, surprising everyone. "Be careful."
He said and sprinted toward the ongoing battle.
"..." Lariel watched him run for a moment before ordering. "Don't follow him. Just keep the formation. Our job is to protect these three. And... be careful. Just knocking them out is enough. Don't seriously hurt them."
"Understood!"
The knights and the other elf shouted back in response as they kept engaging in battle with the possessed guards.
