"I can''t say we need much rest. My pure stallions could pull such a light carriage for another day or two!" The carriage driver was the most excited to keep moving. He felt that he was able to show off the future of his taming endeavors.


    The healers, on the other hand, were in rough shape. They had not recovered much from being bumped around during their trip to the wall in the first ce. Yet now, they were being knocked around all the same.


    Midnight had been unhappy to see the three dragons she had been getting to know leaving. They were older than her but she was already understanding that dragons developed differently. She was much more ahead of them when it came to mental development while they were behind. It was just the way the wind dragons were raisedpared to what others would be raised. It was also because Midnight was forced to learn different things faster.


    "When we catch back up with Ventus, I want you to pay attention to how she maniptes the wind tond. Hernding and her childrennd almost silently. I think you can do that if you try." Having Walker encourage her, Midnight found herself actually excited.


    The idea that she would be able to manipte the wind around her body the same as a pure wind elemental dragon was hard to grasp. However, Walker was able to manipte the wind with his elemental affinities. It made sense that midnight, as his champion, would also be able to do such a thing at some point.


    Comparing it directly with the skeletal armor that Midnight could create was also important. Midnight might have that because a skeletal dragon was her father. That being said, it was the embodiment of that bloodline and mana bing such a skill with her diet in mind. Other elemental dragons would obviously be able to create simr skills with their elemental mana around their body.


    "Are you telling Midnight that she might be able to do what you do with elemental mana? You literally make an elemental dragon around your body to attack. It''s kind of insane. If Midnight does that she might be wild." Gil was having trouble imagining just how powerful Midnight would be if she followed Walker''s lead.


    "I don''t think it would be the same. Walker isn''t a dragon so he needs to create more. He also isn''t done learning the skill. But Midnight is a dragon, I bet that she will just have the ability to create armors and attacks that work with her body. Like when she wraps her ws in mes." Remey seemed to have given this a lot of thought because it was simr to when she used her elemental knuckles.


    "I won''t lie, I don''t know what to expect from my own skills most of the time. When ites to Midnight and Su, I am lost." Walker wanted to be supportive and say he had all the answers. Unfortunately, that was not the case. There was nothing solid that he could tell them in regards to what they all might experience.


    "I understand. I have new things I discover every day. But that''s what I look forward to. I didn''t think that I would have any ability to manipte the earth, but with my partner, I have realized that I can add my mana to the earth fortress skill. What else can I do?" Su had a few ideas but she was not about to expand on it until she tried them.


    "As long as you don''t try to be some draconic guardian archer and steal my ce in the party we will be fine." Gil found his ce to joke a little but knew that the situation was full of mystery.


    "You know Walker could steal your position at any time. He just has to stop focusing on magic." Remey tried to punch both Gil and Walker out of fun but the two easily dodged.


    "We areing up on the stop!" The carriage driver shouted out. There was a tension in his voice that made Walker move a little faster.


    When Walker saw what was in front of him, he realized that they were thete ones. There were tenrge groups in front of him. One was an advanced group of adventurers that were organizing themselves in to patrol groups. The others were healers mixing in to groups of both adventurers and soldiers. Altogether they were preparing for what might happen at any moment.


    "Commander, what is the current status?" Walker didn''t see Ventus so he knew that she must have seen something nearby that interested her.


    "Another adventurer… the hero party?" Themander was a little different than the previous one. He was carrying arge hammer and wore heavy armor. But every step left a very defined footprint. His strength was clear. "We are preparing for demons to march on us at any moment. We saw arge flying monster with three others a few moments ago and do not know what we may encounter.


    "That was Ventus, a royal dragon, and her children. They are with me. She must have seen something and is getting us information. I will cross the wall and start to create some more defenses. My party will split off and start helping. Let us know what you need." Walker didn''t hesitate to step in to the air. "Midnight, stand watch and let me know when Ventus returns."


    Walker reached the top of the wall and looked out at the demonnds before him. The foliage had been burned away by magical skills and war. This was a stain on nature. Nothing was able to grow because of the constant waring toward the borders. Walker hated it. The entire sight felt wrong. "Fleur, I want to fix this."
