In the place that surrounded by hot air, a continuously sound of hammering can be heard. In the wall, there are many weapons like a sword to axe, from the little one to the biggest one that lined in a tidy manner. The smell of iron and a huge furnace with its blazing fire can be seen. Yup, it was a blacksmith, correction it was inside Kingdom blacksmith.

Originally, this place is hidden in this castle. However, thanks to Arya curiosity when he is still a kid that freely to explore he find this place without a problem. Naturally, when Arya suddenly barged in, he was greeted by angry stare from the blacksmiths but after the Princess arrival, they are calmed down a little.

''Hmm... you have an interesting design, but we didn't have enough material for this.''

''How about this ?''

Arya with the help from the Princess tell them about their reason for visit, a dwarf holding a big hammer that looks like the leader look at Arya weapon design and answered with uninterest tone. But, after Arya pulls out a silver colored metal, the dwarf blacksmith is surprised.

''This, let me see! It's silver, no it's the real Mithril!? Where did you get this thing!''

''It's from the skeleton army, I think when I break one of their strongest shield its shield piece is mysteriously inside my bag.''

When the dwarf takes the metal and checks it, he was surprised even the other blacksmith is gathered behind him. He grabs Arya shoulder and asks him, with their different height the dwarf pull Arya arm and when they already in the same height he grab his shoulder.

''Alright, because you are the Princess friends and you have this thing I will gladly make all your equipment, Free!!''

''Really!?''

''However, as I said we didn't have enough material. If you bring the material needed, we will make it in no time!''

''Deal!! So where it is, a mine? A forest?''

Arya grabs the dwarf hand and shook it with the excited expression and ask him, the dwarf just show his suspicious wide smile.

*****

''This place?''

Arya saying that while standing in front of the big entrance, this place is supported by big wooden block as a pillar. A broken and unused cart that still having a lump of metal and ore can be seen around this place, even a broken hut, and tent. It looked like there is some lively worker in this place some time ago, but now its being abandoned.

The abandoned mines, it is so quite but the smell of blood and death has surrounded this place.

When Airi finishing her report, Arya takes a glance at Linda with narrowed eyes.

''Hnn.. its spider huh?''

Sensing his stare, Linda turns her face that covered by the helmet away. Seeing this Arya giggle for a moment before turn his head toward his soldier that having new equipment.

The Wings, have their equipment upgraded, their round shield is changed to heavy shield that able to covered their body, the spear and short sword are more strong and durable and in their right shoulder, the crest with shield shape in red color with white wing picture that crossed by a spear and sword. The Talons, their spear is more long and heavy, on their back, a big bag of javelin is rested and on the right shoulder, the crest with shield shape in red color with white talon picture that crossed by 2 spears although one of it is thinner. The Beaks, still with their long sword and a dagger, in their right shoulder, the crest with shield shape in red color with white beak picture that crossed by a sword and dagger.

Their equipment is stronger and durable compared from before, and because his soldier is around 75 soldiers, all of it cost 350.000 'Point'. Seeing this Arya really hold his tear and Airi just pat his back while showing a pitying look because compared to them, their leader isn't changed at all even Airi is having new armor.

The Princess? The hell with her, look at that shining armor !!

''Argh. no matter! All of you, our mission is to take the material. If you didn't find any, no meat for you!!!''

'''Ooohhh !!'''

The two Partners couldn't help but shake their head. With Arya shout, they advancing in a line. The Wings with their shield connected to each other to make a shield wall is in the front. Inside the mines is a dark place with broken mining device that now is covered by spider silk. This place is looked like the haunted house. Before long, they stopped for a moment in 3 entrance.

''The Beaks, divide 2-3 people to scout each of this entrance. If you encountered something, don't fight it yourself, retreat immediately and report it to me.''

With Arya order, around 9 people rushing into the entrance. Before long, on the right side, they reported that the entrance having a trap and beyond it, another 2 entrance can be seen. On the left are empty mining area and the last one they can hear loud footsteps.

''C-captain...'' ''...I-It was monster...'' ''...house !''

''Lisa Lina, what have you done!?''

As they said, after the twins rushing out, a numerous footstep can be heard approaching. With Arya order, he makes the Wings prepare a shield wall and the horde of monster crashed to the shield or being pierced by the prepared spears. Some of the monsters are trying to climb the wall, it's the spiders but some flying spear able to hit them in time. But, the huge number of the enemy is able to push the shield wall.

''Wings, plant your feet and hold your ground!''

Arya shout his order and the Wings used their new feature from their equipment, a long spike is launched from their iron shoes and stabbed the ground thanks to that, they able to hold their ground from the enemy. Their shield is keep being pressed by many monsters. 20 minute later, all of them is defeated, the result is they lose one scout and the enemy is 60 ratman and 80 spiders.

'So they really make this place their base? To think we already lose one....'

''Alright, We going to the left..''

''Wait, Captain, the left is empty space, there are no ores inside.''

''We going to the right !''

''The trap will activate if we bring too many soldiers, boy.''

''We going to..''

''The middle..'' ''...is monster house,'' ..''Captain.''

''Shut up! To the middle or no Meats!''

Arya that having an angry vein are ordered his people to move forward. This entrance is narrow straight route and they can see a wide room in front of them, no it was the dead end. A stone wall is what waiting for them there, but if its look closely this wall just recently built by destroying the ceiling.

'So, it's just one way. They closed the entrance after sending that many ?'

Airi who stand behind him, asked while checking the closed entrance.

''Airi, I want you to take the Talons divisions, 10 Wings, and 5 Beaks. Please go back and check the right entrance.''

Airi that already know what her master will do, just nod her head and lead the 35 soldiers away. Relieved looking at the reliable Airi, Arya turns his attention toward the stone wall that blocking their way.

''Okay, everyone. I will break this wall, prepare to charge and for the incoming battle.''

Arya said that while preparing a stance, a golden aura covered his body as he unleashes his 'Limit Break' and swing his spear powered with 'Heavy Blow' at the wall with full power. Not long, the solid wall is turned into dust and they rushed forward as they make a circular formation.

The 30 Wings, prepared their shields and close their shoulder each other to make the formation firm, the 10 Beaks doesn't want to lose, take a stance with their body lowered a little while they increase their vigilance. As they look the surrounding, the huge room that so dark they can see numerous glowing red eyes staring at them, in fact almost in all of their vision sight is filled with glowing red eyes. They are surrounded!

''Stupid! Soldiers, close your eyes!!''

In this tense atmosphere, the Princess that stepped forward and from who-know-when surrounded by her escort showing the confident smile suddenly started her chant and unleashed massive white light that filled this dark place and blinded all the creature inside. Although Arya already shouted to his soldiers, because of dumbfounded just small people that able to close their eyes in time. However, they still feel dizzy because of their close range.

Before long, what appeared in front of them is surprising. The entire room is illuminated and showed a massive number of spiders and few ratman, and this place also filled with the spider webs that makes them especially the girl shudder, the shocking one was the Female Imperial Knight is having a massacre. Yes, because all the enemy is blinded they just rushing forward while slashing here and there. They are having a strange atmosphere around them.

'If you still afraid of spider don't just go blindly!'

''Forward! Let's support them!''

Arya scowled and shout his order as he joining the fray. However, they are a bit too late because the monsters already surrounded the knights. Arya decided to use the triangle formation to break the enemy line, the Beaks use the hit and run tactic taking advantage of the shield wall, as the shield walls are walking on the formation while they hold the impact. However, the number of enemies make them to held their ground in the middle of enemy lines. Even with the help from the ex-bandit leader, Amore and the Magician, Mary they are still far from the knights.

'Annoying...'

Arya that keep slashing and stabbing the spider turn his attention to the knights, they attacking the spiders near them while clearly showing their discomfort and displeased. Before long, Linda suddenly stopping her attack and murmuring something.

''Not again, Close your eyes-''

Another intense light has filled this place, Arya in his unfocused eyes able to see that the female knights still able to attack without to worry about the light. He started to wonder, why did they didn't affected to the light?

This time, the female knights are showing their true strength. Around their blade is glowed orange light and when they slash their long sword, the 2-3 spiders was sliced. Sena sword is having a green light is looking more stronger. Don't ask about the Princess, with pure white light, her sword can even unleash a sword wave that going through the spider's horde.

'What with that? I know something like that is nothing new, but...'

Arya that having a frown turn his attention toward his soldiers. The Wings finally able to control the ground, they able to push the approaching ratman. The formation changed to became square and steadily move forward. With this many monsters usually there must have one or more tired person but looking closely there is one figure that wearing a maid clothes is surrounded by some people that before long going back to attacking.

It was Emy, she using her skill 'Nursing' to increase stamina and health recovery. She is in the middle formation beside her big sister, Mary. Because they didn't have the healer, Emy is really helpful in this situation. When Arya turns his head, the glowing sword in each knight is gone and they starting to using formation. Half attack and half defend, they stick closely and attacking in turn.

Arya really feels amazed seeing them that keep calm in this situation, they keep changing their attack methods to surprise and confuse the enemy. Before long, Arya soldier finally breaks the enemy lines and joining with the knight, in 20 minutes all the enemy is either killed or fled.

''To think that you really able to beat them like that, am really amazed.'' Arya smiled at his childhood friends splendid work.

When Arya looks at Linda's feet, she is trembled and turn her head away. Even with her full helmet, Arya can still know how terrified her is. However, he was worried about something, the enemy here is far too much. How can they able to reproduce this many.

''Soldiers searches this room, I have the bad feeling about this and keep your guard.''

With Arya order, the soldiers scattered and start to search the area. This place is filled with many spider web, one of the soldier suddenly shouted.

''C-captain this way!!''

Not wasting much time, they rushed there and froze.

''T-this is-''

Interrupting Arya word, they could hear something and turn their head. Far ahead, in the dark corridor, a loud roar can be heard followed by heavy footstep and the shaking earth. Something is approaching.
