Chapter 78 - Spirit Anchor
Jonathan
The explosion rocked him back and some of his stone armor fell off from the force. Standing right next to the source of the blast wasn't the best position to be in.
Jonathan was doing his best to not let any of the monsters through and he hadn't expected them to blow up in his face.
Some of the other warriors were injured and bleeding which left him down some men. Thomas, Abigail's Dad, was on the ground bleeding from somewhere along with Vincent next to him.
Vincent spent most of his time in the forge but that didn't mean he didn't know how to fight. Everyone in camp knew how to fight out of necessity. Vincent spent the waves manning a catapult now, but he was still a warrior through his class and utilized his blacksmith's hammer well.
Scott and Brayden also took up arms and were fighting down here with him. With Austin and Chris gone, and Mitchell still recovering, that left 18 people to defend.
With the two strongest gone, it fell on Jonathan's shoulders to lead. This was a position that he hadn't wanted to find himself in. If it happened, that meant their two strongest were gone.
Rachel was strong and so was Hal, but they weren't the ones spearheading the defense. He was the one down here making sure to hold the line. Both of them got to stay up on the wall behind protection.
"People Incoming!"
Was all the warning Jonathan got before spells started to land around him. Enemy mages were shooting at him and arrows planked off his armor and shield.
Magic shields went up from the wall that stopped most of the projectiles but it wasn't big enough to reach Jonathan down below in the gate.
He had to raise a [Stone Aegis] to help keep the attacks at bay.
