So the ruins were the suspicious part after all, and they had the option of either heading to the bridge, which was filled to the brim with Goblin archers, or to head off through the detour instead, hoping that everyone was stealthy enough to make it through without trouble. Cecilia looked at Tower and Prome, before grinning and shaking her head.
“Nope, definitely not happening,” she sang, twirling around on her toes, “Let’s go straight through the bridge then. It’s short enough to cross almost instantly for the Great Demon and I, while the sides of this bridge serve as partial cover from archers on the side…not that we’d actually get hit by those arrows, neh, Akumu? River can send Pepper in as a quick aerial distraction, the melees can all Accelerate in and run amok, while Tower does what Tower does to deliver our cute lifeline closer.”
“Destroying the totem alone won’t make these monsters disappear, after all. I’d rather get rid of them before they sandwich us when we go for the totem, you know? And…”
She stabbed the spear into the ground before doing some jazz hands shenanigans with a soft giggle.
“Think about all that tasty loot as we descend upon a mob of archers!”
