[color=ed145b]“If you say so then.”[/color] Skarsneek shrugged, not really liking Takeshi decision but he’ll have to live with it. 

Hearing Ayu talks of reinforcement, and then Kikyo outburst before letting on that there’s another regiment of Shizuyamn warriors also had Skarsneek gears turning as he quickly planned for it.

Fortunately, Takeshi seemed to be in agreement of taking both reinforcements. Something that they desperately need now.

[color=ed145b]“Sounds good to me.”[/color] He then announced to Takeshi and slapped him on the back, seeing that Kikyo didn’t like the idea as the latter was hoping to get some measure of support from her. “I suggest we get your warriors first then we take the port.”

[color=ed145b]“Sides, you got your hands full with your missus there. Better to let her get this first.”[/color] He idly whispered to Takeshi while making sure Kikyo can’t hear him as he eyeballed towards her direction. 

[color=ed145b]“Go and have some quiet time with her later. We’ll deal with the clean up.”[/color]

Though his mood changed when he smelled a familiar presence, it wasn’t so much of an odor but a pheromone.

Smashing the rock aside, Gringor felt a slight tingling over his skin before he went back to the fight. 

Moment later as the Varjans flee, he caught scent of a familiar presence and turned towards it.

Kerry shouted, then Alice didn’t seem to like it and shouted back before punching Kerry. The latter proceeded to leave quickly, stomping even.

He only walked and shared a look with Shizuka and a thumb pointed towards the sea. [color=f7941d]“Was it a good fight?”[/color]

Whether he got his answer or not, Gringor moved back to the village and was with the rest of them. Just in time as it looked like they’re done talking.

[color=f7941d]“Whatever you say, under-boss.”[/color] Gringor replied to Takeshi, honestly he didn’t even heard the rest and just arrived after all but whatever was outlined, it must be good.

[color=f7941d]“Also, there’s a big stone outside. Bee girl said it mucks magic. Not sure what is it, so I smash it. Maybe you should get some sneaky bois for it.”[/color]

[color=ed145b]“Big stone that mucks magic? That’s an anti-magic Obelisk, why would-wait, of course they would. Well, that’s bungles some of our strength.”[/color] Skarsneek looked stunned for a moment before realizing with an eyeroll that yes, of course the Varjans would bring such a thing even if it’s just a refuge place. 

Hate it or love it, Skarsneek had to admit that Varjan's tendency for overkill was indeed quite admirable. 

[color=ed145b]“Right, take note! If you any big large blocks, target those so we can use our own magic!”[/color] Skarsneek quickly got down and started to draw it on the ground using a pointy stick, outlining the shape, runes, and common points that they shared for everyone to see. “Takeshi, you’ll want to ask for your own spies to prioritize sabotage these things too. They’ll interfere with your onmyo magics as well.”

[color=f7941d]“Can also use them as rocks, lob them back.”[/color] Gringor suggested to Skarsneek, the latter pausing for a moment before coming to a blank. He never thought of that since he preferred to avoid or destroy them.

[color=ed145b]“....Anyone can verify if we can repurpose those anti-magic obelisks, load them into a catapult and see if it shuts down their magic too?[/color]
