"Archmage Elric, may I speak with you about tomorrow's plan?" Addison asked as she reached his side.
Meanwhile, Levi moved around the area to gather more information, asking for the names of those he didn't know yet and inquiring about what each person had contributed so far. He made sure to explain that it was for documentation purposes, so no one would feel offended or think their actions were being scrutinized or judged.
"What can I help you with, Princess?" Archmage Elric asked, turning toward Addison. Both of his hands rested atop his staff as he sat on the tree stump. Addison stepped closer before beginning.
"Archmage Elric, I'll send the warriors to drive away the remaining animals in the forest tonight while they're out hunting. Tomorrow morning, we'll retreat slightly with the mages and wait for the aerial team to drop the biochemical agents. During that time, we'll need to rely on you and your disciples to keep the barrier from collapsing."
