After talking with Hector, Amanda, and Maya, Leon used Clairvoyance to see their camp's situation. Unfortunately, the camp was semi-destroyed. Fortunately, Leon found a staircase that would lead to an underground shelter, and there he found the civilians. They didn't suffer any casualties, thanks to another magic barrier. Half of the population was made of civilians, but the other half had lost twenty percent of their forces… so the next battle would be much more difficult.
"Maybe I should develop some spell to protect the soldiers directly…" Leon rubbed his chin. "Although I can cover their bodies by summoning Mana Armor. That would decrease how much mana I would be able to use in a fight. Besides, protecting them from every single damage might make them get too lax."
