Not far away, within the hollow and pitch-black Night Owl vision of the Dragonfire Guild's Ranger Captain, a flash of red light streaked past—the neat flash of red light that only tal colliding could produce.
In the darkness of his eyes, he imdiately withdrew from his original position, then took his bow and circled around in another direction, stealthily heading towards Flat Cypress Forest.
At this mont, within the battlefield.
Only the Iron Guard was left, lanting bitterly.
He and the Nightingale, who had been lurking nearby, had received instructions from the ranger early on to circle around and cause trouble for the Elentalist.
But that was easier said than done.
In front of him, the pretty Miss Maid with a cold face was a big problem. Earlier, with a casual wave, she had perford an Inch Strike, explosively shattering the trunk of a pine tree not far away, forcing the Nightingale hiding there to co out.
He had attempted to draw her attention but only realized what kind of monster he had provoked. Miss Maid was not at all polite, imdiately launching into an attack.
Each ti his Great Shield blocked a punch, it trembled heavily. Just as the Iron Guard was about to catch his breath, Miss Maid's left fist arrived again, striking with even greater force without any finesse, not even seeking out his weaknesses, just punching the Great Shield right in front.
In his heavy armor, he seed like a fortress, yet the massive force still made him stagger back three steps.
Before he could steady himself, Xiesta's right fist followed.
With this punch, she directly knocked him flying.
All of this happened in less than a second.
The Iron Guard heavily crashed to the ground, filled with disbelief. With his astonishing physique attributes, he was not injured, but the ability to knock him flying in three punches, what kind of monster was she? He looked up to see Miss Maid still wearing a cold, pretty face—beautiful, yet too formidable.
Xiesta seed like an incredibly efficient combat machine, expressionless, continuing forward.
And at this mont, the Nightingale from the Dragonfire Guild finally reacted, quickly extending her hand—her shadow suddenly lengthened, entwining in this direction.
But Miss Maid didn't move an inch, rely clenched her fists. From the Magic Guided Reactor upwards, every light pattern on her body lit up.
A blast wave erupted.
The Nightingale's shadow manipulation imdiately shattered—within the Martial Fighter's Burst Qi, the range of the shockwave eliminated all magic and supernatural effects. Xiesta finally turned her head, her icy gaze instinctively causing the Nightingale to stop.
"We are no match for her..."
At this ti, the Iron Guard finally got up from the ground, coughed, and said.
He looked to the Nightingale, nodding gently: "I'll hold her off, you go carry out the Captain's orders."
The latter understood imdiately, wasted no words, and just raised her hand.
Xiesta saw this and instantly realized what the opponent was about to do, imdiately closing her eyes.
At that mont, the Nightingale's hand emitted a strong flash, and simultaneously, a shadow split from her body, sliding into the bushes' shadows. Monts later, she split a second shadow, moving stealthily towards the fog-covered direction.
The next mont, Xiesta opened her eyes, her gaze remaining calm. She saw the opponent's second shadow at a glance, struck with her hand, using another Inch Strike to shatter the shadow.
But as she was about to pursue further, the Nightingale had already turned into a re shadow, disappearing.
Then the Iron Guard raised his shield, blocking in front of her.
Seeing this, Xiesta stopped advancing, turning instead to face the Dragonfire Guild's Iron Guard.
...
Only then did Fang Hong withdraw his gaze, the forest becoming sowhat quiet.
He looked up at the sky, and not long after, a golden Clockwork Fairy flew back and landed on his hand.
After the Dragonfire Guild's elite brigade split into two, he knew that a team was coming towards his position—or, more accurately, from the beginning, he and Luo Hao had intentionally blocked the opponent's path.
Bakins, on the side of the Big Cat People, served as the strongest combat force of the Seven Seas Travel Group, with combat experience far surpassing the opponent. Even if he went all out, it was unlikely to gain any advantage against either the Big Cat People or Xiesta.
Given a one-on-one situation, the chances of victory were high on that side. What he needed to do was, together with Luo Hao, try to buy enough ti for the Big Cat People.
And create favorable opportunities on the battlefield, forming localized advantages.
The key to deciding the outco of this battle—
Actually lies in the current confrontation.
This was anticipated from the start—of course, if the opponent miscalculated, the battle might be easier, but the opponent clearly demonstrated the level expected of a brigade, forcing the battle into its final stage.
Moreover, Xiangzi and Gita needed ti to restore their Magic Power, Elisa and Parker were not present, and Atira and Hilveld had other plans to carry out.
This ant that at the onset of this battle, apart from Luo Hao, who had recently joined the team, all he could rely on was himself.
Facing two against five, or even two against six, saying he wasn't nervous was impossible.
Fang Hong subconsciously adjusted his Control Gloves again, a subtle gesture betraying his unease. Having faced Invokers directly before, it was a different matter if the opponent consisted of elite brigade mbers, especially when outnumbered.
"Soone's coming." Luo Hao suddenly said in a low voice.
"Three." He added another sentence.
Fang Hong also looked up, first seeing, but only one person.
In the forest, the one erging was the Agility Swordmaster previously seen in the Clockwork Fairy's vision. Holding a sword, as he saw the two, a slight surprise flashed in his eyes.
And Fang Hong couldn't help but lightly inhale.
