223 The Night Battle (part 1)

Almost two days ago, when the reinforcement arrived on the island, everyone was preparing for this day. This is the day when they are finally going to attack the port. One thousand people, consisting of knights, huntsmen, mages, healers, and even magic knights, are ready into their position. Anne was in charge of one smaller unit to raise the healer's tent and prepare the medications.

She looks so dissatisfied as the list of duties came upon her hand. Anne wanted to help in the front line, but there was nothing she can do anymore. She just took sighed and will do her best as usual. A hand softly held onto her back. She turned to see Darla smiling at her.

"Be careful, alright?" Said her best friend, while giving her a warm hug.

Anne couldn't believe what she just heard. "Be careful? Darla, you're going to battle, but I will be in the tent, praying for everyone. It should be me that said those words!"
