"Huh? What did you say?"
Hearing Fang Zheng speak, several players from the army imdiately walked over, glaring at him fiercely. After all, the army was the largest player guild in the Starting Town, and now soone dared to oppose them?
"How dare you talk to us like that? Are you trying to interfere with our mission? Co, let’s go to headquarters and have a chat!"
The leading man showed an insidious smile as he spoke.
"Or do you want to talk outside? Huh? Outside!!"
He threatened as he fiddled with the weapon in his hand, but in the face of these players’ threats, Fang Zheng just stood there, quietly watching them.
Then he spoke up.
"Either way works."
"You... what do you an?"
Hearing Fang Zheng’s response, everyone was taken aback. Usually, when they threatened others, those people would imdiately comply. But this guy was very strange; he didn’t beg for rcy or back off. On the contrary, he stood there looking at them as if... he was watching a bunch of idiots?
"I said either way, whether it’s your so-called headquarters or outside."
Fang Zheng smiled slightly.
"I just want to see what abilities you stray dogs have."
"You bastard!! Co on, brothers, take him to headquarters!!"
At this, the leading man suddenly roared. Then, with a wave of his hand, the others imdiately surrounded Fang Zheng, grinning maliciously at him.
"Good, very good. You dare to oppose the army, so let’s show you the consequences of opposing us! Go!"
As for the army players’ roar, Fang Zheng simply raised an eyebrow before following them away.
"These bastards!!"
Seeing this, Asuna grabbed her rapier, wanting to help, but to her surprise, Yui grabbed her.
"Asuna... sister, don’t go..."
"Yui?"
At this, Asuna looked at Yui and was surprised to find Yui’s face pale, and she was trembling all over.
"It’s so scary... so scary..."
"Don’t be afraid, Yui."
At this mont, Eiriri hurriedly crouched down, stroking Yui’s head to comfort her.
"We’ll protect you!"
"No, it’s not that... not that..."
Yui shook her head vigorously.
"It’s Dad, Dad is so scary..."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Yui’s response, Asuna and Eiriri were stunned. They did see Fang Zheng a bit angry just now, but even so... it didn’t seem like much, right? At least when Fang Zheng got angry, he still looked calm, without yelling or going crazy.
But Yui seed very frightened, clutching Asuna tightly, not letting go.
"Let’s head back first."
But Eiriri seed much calr, thinking for a mont before coming up with an idea.
"This is a safety zone, and no matter what the army wants to do to Mr. Fang Zheng, they can’t. Since Mr. Fang Zheng went with them, he must have his reasons. He didn’t ask us to intervene, obviously not wanting us involved... I’ll contact Miss Ester and Miss Restia to get their opinions."
As she spoke, Eiriri quickly opened the system, sending a ssage to both. Soon, Ester and Restia responded, and Eiriri quickly explained what had happened.
"That’s it?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing their account, neither Restia nor Ester reacted much. They initially thought Restia and the others would be worried or angry, but seeing Restia’s reaction, it was as if she was listening to a mundane chat about the weather or sothing...
"Don’t worry, Miss Asuna and Miss Eiriri. Since the master made his decision, he naturally has his reasons. If he needs our help, he’ll contact us directly."
At this point, Ester nodded.
"That’s right, he won’t be in trouble with us around."
"Then, Ester, let’s continue with the third round. This ti I’ll show you who should stay by the master’s side."
"A re Dark Elf dares to challenge my Demon-Slaying Holy Sword, how audacious!"
With these harsh words, the conversation ended, leaving only the background sounds of fighting... well, this was just another day for the Dark Moon Sword Guild.
"See?"
Closing the dialogue, Eiriri glanced at Asuna, who was smiling wryly. They had beco flustered with worry, forgetting that they were in a safe zone. If Fang Zheng had any real trouble, he would have ssaged them. Since he hadn’t, he must have his own plan.
At that mont, Eiriri suddenly looked up and pointed forward.
"Asuna, look over there."
"Over there?"
Hearing Eiriri’s words, Asuna looked up, soon spotting a silver-haired woman, also in an army uniform, flash by from an alley, following Fang Zheng and his group into the alley. Seeing this, the two exchanged glances.
"Let’s go check it out."
anwhile, the players had already brought Fang Zheng into the alley, surrounding him completely.
"You’re quite arrogant, daring to oppose us?"
"You must be tired of living!!"
"...A bunch of idiots."
As he looked around at the ferocious players wielding weapons, Fang Zheng shook his head with a sigh.
"It seems stray dogs are just that... this is the extent of your abilities, so..."
"Whoo———!!"
Before Fang Zheng could finish, he flicked his right hand, and in the next mont, the players saw pitch-black shadows appear suddenly. Along with the whistling wind, they were hurled away just like that!
"Waaah!!"
Fighting in the safe zone wouldn’t result in losing health, but the flash and vibrations when a skill was activated would still cause so reactions. Basically, when soone released a skill and hit a target, the target would feel like they’d been pushed. These players were re fodder from the army, their average level only slightly higher than the Starting Town players, while Fang Zheng was the strongest first-person in the Raid Group. Their character attributes and skill proficiency level were worlds apart.
With one swing of Fang Zheng’s sword, skill radiance shined, instantly sending the players flying. Others only saw one of the players roll back down the alley like a bowling ball, finally stopping when he crashed into a wall.
Luckily, this was a ga, or his neck might have snapped right then.
"You bastard...!!"
Seeing this, the other players felt their anger rise, and with courage from their anger, they drew their weapons, roaring as they charged at Fang Zheng.
