63 Chapter 63 - Tenkos Scrappers (2/2)
Tenko couldn't see the moon at day time, but she didn't need to. She never did, they were connected and the moon had always come when called.
”Please, bring him back,” Tenko whispered.
[Necromancy makes no one happy. Better to fight for those that still live], the moon said, so warm like an old granny.
Somewhere screamed the girl with a thing for knives, her face streaking with tears as she was held back by a sturdy farmer. Tenko held bucky's body tight and brought it back to her, where the wicked girl could grieve.
”Then give me the power to protect. Please, I don't want to lose everyone, not again,” Tenko whispered.
[Granted. Happy hunting, little one], with that the moon receded from Tenko's mind. Focusing, Tenko lifted her head high and howled a perfect note.
The brilliant blue sky vanished into the darkness of night, a gigantic golden moon now hanging over all of Tariak. In bursts of light the defenders grew golden tails, and could spend it instinctually to become temporarily empowered.
Across the battlefield simple farmers became strong as knight's for three swings, while archers fired their arrows with the power of a ballista and adventurers swung with the strength of trolls. Only a few moments did the moon last before it faded and day returned, but across the entire defensive line Tariak's defenders had regained the upper hand.
Breathing raggedy Tenko staggered away, the current waves of demons having been turned to heap of demonic flesh through the bravery of the Headless Hunter guild.
Yet the enemy simply sent another wave, the heroics of the defenders overshadowed by the constant assault. Meanwhile Tenko found a quite place to recover, barely noticing how she now have two white tails as she brooded over bucky's body.
Then a bright horn sounded, and the closest Silver Swan Knights pulled back from the fighting and mounted their war horses.
”Where are you going? We need you!” the Guildmaster roared as he shattered a satyr's skull like an egg.

”The main gate has been breached, we are ordered to reinforce that position. Use fire on the spiders!” the knight yelled back, turned, and rode away.
Confused the Guildmaster noted that indeed giant spiders ridden by Jackal humanoids were pouring now through the gap in the walls. Groaning he shouted up at Jed.
”Jed, we need fire!”
”On it!” Jed relied, gold Beans directing the blind man's hands. Even with two eyepatches now and quite blind, Jed looked an impressive figure as he bathed the front ranks of Spider riding Jackals in black flame.
Meanwhile Tenko looked concerned past Kenji fighting in the walls to the main gate. Just what could the enemy have done to break through there?
