"It looks like they’re losing their people."
"How many of them are gone now?" Clovis asked.
"Six. Four are disqualified directly, while the other two are under arrest."
"How long will they stay there?"
"They can arrest soone for up to 48 hours. At the very least, these two guys won’t be coming after you for this competition."
"Sounds good to ." Clovis smiled. The situation had gone even better than he had expected.
"So, we get rid of six of their mbers that easily?" The three sword masters and the two leaders of the R.A.I.D. couldn’t believe what they had just heard.
They never thought they would get rid of so many people before the competition even started.
"3 Tier 8 humans and 3 Tier 7 humans. That sounds good enough to ." Clovis nodded.
"With this, their side only has eleven Tier 8 humans and two Tier 7 humans. It’s still not a number that we can feel at ease with, but it’s progress." lody agreed.
"In that case, my team will take care of the remaining Tier 7 humans. Then, we..." Kaen pointed at himself and his boss. "We’ll handle two Tier 8 humans. Sounds good?"
"The three of us will handle one Tier 8 human each." The three swordmasters were also in agreent.
This ant the Libation Fiesta only needed to take care of the remaining six Tier 8 humans. Their group had fourteen mbers, including the beasts, so it should be easy.
However, Clovis imdiately said, "Reolf, lody. You two will focus on finding the flower. Kanaria will go with Rea and observe from the sky. Even though there is a rule that only 20 people can participate in this competition from both sides, there’s no rule that forbids the successors themselves from joining the competition directly...
"In other words, Jean will most likely co for us. He might be a Tier 7 human, but we shouldn’t underestimate him. So, who’s going to catch him?"
"I will take care of him. Better dead than alive." Aileen shrugged.
"In that case, I will help her." Erwin pointed at Aileen.
"That leaves us with the six Tier 8 humans." Clovis smiled.
"I guess I will take care of one myself." Christina nodded. "I can at least stall for ti."
"I also wonder how far I’ve gone after joining the team." Angelia agreed, wanting the challenge as well.
"Want so help?" Ragna asked. Considering she was an archer, it would be better to have a guardian to stop the enemy’s movent.
Angelia thought for a mont before saying, "Sure. It sounds fun."
"In that case, I will take one myself. That leaves us with three left." Clovis accepted their roles and added himself.
"Will Kanaria support us?" Luci asked.
"I will. Just shout my na three tis." Kanaria winked playfully.
"I guess I will fight one myself. It will be hard for a doctor like , but I will manage."
Rin pointed at herself. "Am I going to be alone?"
"Freud will be with you." Clovis waved his hand, telling her that there was always a backup.
Rin crossed her arms. "I can’t tell you that nothing will happen, but I can try."
"Good. In that case, I should go one on one against the enemy as well." Jay agreed and took the last spot.
"Well, Angelia. It looks like a lot is riding on your shoulder this ti." Clovis glanced to the right.
Angelia knew that it was her job to finish the battle quickly. "Erwin and Aileen too."
"We will do our best." Aileen and Erwin agreed."
"Good. As soon as you’re done with your target, try to help Jay, Rin, or Luci. That’s your priority."
"Shouldn’t you do it as well, Clovis?" lody asked. "Unlike everyone here, your fighting style is extrely aggressive. It’ll be hard to keep up with you in terms of killing."
Clovis just smiled. "I need... to do sothing else."
They looked dumbfounded at first, but they soon realized what Clovis wanted to do. They imdiately snapped.
"What?"
"Not fair!"
"You definitely want to watch the battle between two Tier 9 humans!"
"We also want to watch that battle!"
The three sword masters and the R.A.I.D. mbers also wanted to watch the battle. After all, it was not every day for them to see a battle at this level. However, they didn’t raise an objection.
"However, I need to remind you that when they’re coming at us tomorrow, they’re going to be very angry." Clovis raised one finger, trying to change the topic.
"What do you an by ’very angry’? They’re frustrated, but they also haven’t had a good night’s sleep for the last few days. They’re tired, and right now, they have to change their accommodation. No, they may not even have one, considering the police are searching for them right now." lody shook her head.
"Having the enemy tired, frustrated, and stressed, while having the allies well-rested and in a good mood... Well, where did I hear sothing like this before?" Christina chuckled.
"In any case, gentlen. Let us win tomorrow." Clovis smiled and raised his glass.
"Cheers!"
"Let us celebrate again once this is over."
...
With the night finally settling down, the group started moving to their respective places to start. This ti, Clovis played another mind ga.
Instead of heading to the nearest gate to the forest, Clovis actually chose the furthest gate.
It confused Jean. He thought about using the fact that Clovis couldn’t get his Tier 9 human to co here while he still had a trump card. This way, so helpers might choose to back down, which would equalize their position.
Unfortunately for him, Clovis had expected it to a certain extent. Besides, there was another advantage he had considered.
By coming from the farthest one, the enemy had no choice but to et them at the forest’s entrance rather than in the middle of the road. This also ant that he could take his ti to wind up.
Jean wouldn’t likely try to get the flower since it would just lower his number further. That was why Clovis could take the initiative in the battle.
The ti was 6 o’clock in the morning. The competition had just begun.
