Jade frowned ever so slightly. He had expected that the Order would attempt to pursue him, he had taken the Fon Master out from under their noses after all. He just hadn't quite expected an attack to come so soon. It would seem he had underestimated the Order's ability to track down the Fon Master.
Before he could give the others any orders, he had to get a better idea of the situation. The best way to do that would be to contact the bridge. Of course, this landship was well built and there were communication devices sprinkled all over the ship. It was only a short walk to the nearest one in the hallway.
"All of you stay here. Ion's safety is up to you three."
He didn't wait for any responses. Tear and Anise would know better than to question in a situation like this, and they would be able to handle any problems that would occur. He had no time to answer questions, he had to get a handle on this situation fast and ensure that the men were ready to act before they were attacked, and Tear and Luke didn't need to be involved in this battle. He quickly was in the hallway and took a hold of the communication device.
"Bridge! What's going on?"
He received a response quickly from the captain. "A large flock of griffins 20 kilometers ahead! Total number unknown! Contact in approximately 10 minutes! Commander, requesting permission to open fire with all cannons."
"You're the captain. The ship is yours."
Immediately he got another response. "Understood, sir." Then over the loudspeaker he heard, "Large swarm of monsters 20 kilometers ahead. All hands, battle stations! Repeat! All hands, battle stations!"
Jade knew at that point, the men would quickly be ready for the incoming attack. His own duty was to ensure the Fon Master made it to Baticul. For now, he remained in the hallway to ensure that Luke, Tear and Anise would not need to engage in combat.
This was definitely not a normal attack. Very few would make use of monsters that could easily attack allies instead of enemies. He did remember hearing of one among the Oracle Knights who was capable of controlling monsters, one of the God-Generals, she had to be among the attackers. If that was the case, he truly couldn't predict how this would go. The Order definitely was playing for keeps here. They wanted Ion, and wouldn't hesitate to wipe out the whole ship to get him.
((ooc: by the way, a question, what God-Generals besides Arietta will be here? Those of us involved may want to talk in IM or something to plan this all out for who takes what roles.))
