Swaying atop the horse pulling the cart, Koai observed her surroundings.

As she descended from the small hill toward the river and the bridge... she noticed there were places here and there that looked suitable for hiding.
The opposite bank, visible in the distance, also grew higher the further one moved from the bridge and the river... it was probably similar terrain.

Yesterday's attacker... Miriaria, was it? The story was that she belonged to an assassination squad from a church that worshipped the human god.
They had moved with coordination. It likely wouldn't take them long to assemble a fighting force of capable humans.
They were hardly a weak organization; it likely wouldn't take them long to grasp the lay of the land in this area.

Pondering these thoughts, Koai surveyed the area and slowly crossed the bridge...
Then, a short while after crossing the bridge, a flash of reflected light from a high vantage point caught her eye.

Hiding in the shadows of the open field, something shone with a dazzling brilliance... It was surely not a natural product, like grass, a beast, or a stone.
An artificial presence in a place like this... that meant.

"This is a certain ki—"
Koai was about to fire a 'Light Wave' at the enemy-like presence when an idea suddenly struck her, and she stopped her chant.

Right now, rather than attacking a portion of the enemy, she wanted to first defend against their arrows.
Arrows are things that fly. In other words, things that dance through the sky.

In that case... she would simply seize control of the sky first.
