Or knowing him, kill them all if he could so I didn’t have to push.
But I still would with the ghosts the next day, so it didn’t really matter.
Everyone that we could spare came to help it seemed.
I saw Winston and all the nobles of visiting princesses. I had questions about that, and Sebastion said that each was doing two laps around the outside of the hordes of corrupted and then racing to each outpost to check on the lockdowns. Plus, make sure they weren’t getting attacked, so every two minutes or so they should be checked on.
Wow, that was a lot of running and not the most efficient way to handle all of this.
Well, now that we were going to be out soon to Fort Knox and who was left, we wouldn’t have to worry about them listening in on us… We could just take over all the military communication soon.
Yay us?
Yeah, I doubted it. There was definitely going to be drama involved with that.
I studied my circle, able to see my power almost like a fog that was coming up off the ground. I started visualizing ways to play with it. I extended just a line from in front of me to go another twenty feet or so and then moved that line around my circle in place.
It sort of worked. Like it seemed to do something to the corrupted. Maybe turned twenty percent of their bodies into energy beads? They felt something because they all stopped running.
“What are you doing, Princess?” Mozell whispered.
“I have no idea,” I admitted. “Trying to add more weapons to my arsenal.”
“You’re damaging them but not killing them,” Petre muttered. “It’s like your energy is a chain-link fence going through them instead of something solid they’re running into.”
“That’s a good weapon to have to slow them down and not get overrun,” Mozell praised. “Try to build that power out from you, ten feet on either side, and see how far you can push it out. The circle you have has to take massive power to maintain. Wounding them means more can be killed faster from those zipping around.”
“She’s right. You have it mastered to only target corrupted,” Petre agreed.
Still, I hesitated. “Smaller, maybe five feet each side.” I was glad when they both nodded. I pulled in my power from the circles and changed my visual. It was ridiculously easy compared to what I’d been doing.
Fuck. Yeah. I was always about working smarter and not harder.
Harder was tiring.
Kristof came back and was filled in on what I was doing and studied it curiously.
“If you dare test it out, you will not be welcome in my bed for a very long time no matter what you fucking heal from,” I warned him when I saw the curious look on his face. The idiot would absolutely try to get the answer they would want to confirm if the power could hurt them.
“I already tested it out,” Ceawlin announced as he joined us. “I heard from Winston what was going on and just ran through it.”
“How do you know you did if you can’t see what she’s doing?” Kristof questioned.
Ceawlin didn’t argue, simply shrugging and moving about twenty feet away. “Run it over me.”
“I can’t,” I whispered, too nervous. I glanced at Kristof when he moved his hand to my shoulder. “It’s Cerdic’s twin. I can’t.”
“I’m much older than your husband and can endure being hurt in twenty percent of my body,” Mozell said before standing where Ceawlin was and telling him to guard me.
Fine, just fine… Pushy fuckers.
I waited until Ceawlin moved near us and then let out a slow breath.
“It will be fine, my love,” Kristof said under his breath.
I nodded and moved my power in her direction, closing my eyes when it went over her.
“She’s fine,” Kristof chuckled. “She’s giving you a thumbs-up, Inez.”
