Chapter 2855 - 1353: Fed Up (2)

At this moment, she suddenly noticed that after Double Leaf successfully completed a double kill, he didn’t continue to finish them off, but let the two collaborators who turned around and ran go, and her heart suddenly felt a little more at ease.

Anyway, Scarlett is part of the Diesel Family, and although she recently encountered several excluded level monsters, her talent and foundation are still top-notch. Plus, she is skilled at shield techniques, the most pressure-resistant in duels, without any rivals, so she believes she won’t be easily killed by Double Leaf.

And considering the opponent’s previous attitude, she felt that if she wanted, the success rate of escaping directly when things looked bad shouldn’t be too low.

Indeed, even after witnessing Double Leaf’s real strength and immediately determining that she was certainly no match, Scarlett, who had already received her reward, still hadn’t thought about abandoning the task.

A Knight must have a sense of contractual spirit.

And a Diesel Family Knight even more so.

According to the commission, leaving the battlefield when she feels her life is in danger does not violate the contract, but deciding not to engage at all just because the opponent is strong after receiving her reward is definitely wrong.

It was this consideration that led Motan and Foster to finally decide to assign this seemingly unpolished, but inwardly a true Knight, girl to Double Leaf’s side.

[According to the plan, I should wait until the next batch of collaborators breaks the deadlock and then enter to hold off, but can anyone really open the situation...]

Scarlett nervously tightened her fist, then consciously calmed her somewhat disordered breathing, focused intently on the distant figure, although tiny, tall enough to suffocate in some aspects, beginning to adjust her mental and physical state.

She has already decided that regardless of whether the next batch of collaborators can successfully open the situation, she must charge forward at the right time, holding as long as possible, and if she really can’t hold, then retreat.

This concerns her dignity as a Knight and also the responsibility of being part of the [Clown Brand] personnel, messing up is fine, but retreating without a fight is unjustifiable.

Then, just as the third batch of a total of twenty collaborators appeared at the precise scheduled time and began their action, Scarlett was astonished to find that these collaborators, like herself and the previous two batches, also at high-order pinnacle, actually managed to open the situation!

Also positioned as assassins, but unlike the previous two batches, the latest twenty entrants didn’t seem to limit their professions to ’assassination’. In fact, almost none of their professions were repeated among this group!

Shield Guard, Mage, Berserk, Priest, Thief, Shaman Priest, Magician. After just a few rounds of exchange, Scarlett already saw seven or eight different professions among the attackers, and not only that, she even noticed a tiny figure, either a goblin or a dwarf, assembling explosive devices, hurling powerful explosives at the layered, shaky elemental shields under the cover of his companions.

Indeed, their individual strength wasn’t strong, at least not as prominent as the second batch of collaborators, but their teamwork, as fluent as breathing, gave Double Leaf quite a bit of trouble. In fact, when Scarlett took a deep breath and rushed from the shop, throwing off her cloak and rushing toward the ’battlefield’, the girl who seemed to wield mastery over all magic had already fallen into a dilemma.

Double Leaf could deal with the attackers surrounding her relatively easily but couldn’t constantly refresh the elemental shields for Frank Hughes. Despite using relentless, endless magic to suppress firepower, most were blocked by the opponent’s watertight defenses. Though considerable damage was inflicted, it did not serve the purpose of freeing Frank.

And when Scarlett successfully engaged the battlefield, slashing towards Double Leaf with the heavy but blunt broadsword in her hand, the latter was staggered by a bomb inexplicably flying to her feet. Although the layer of mixed barriers on the girl’s surface blocked most of the impact, she was still forced back several steps. In a hurry, she only had time to summon a basic [Mage Shield], barely resisting Scarlett’s strike.

[I was careless; if I knew there was such an opportunity, I should have used my shield...]

Having completely calmed down, the female Knight silently sighed and immediately corrected her mistake. As the longsword was raised high by the recoil, she stepped back and turned, flinging the shield strapped to her left arm with a sudden motion, directly aiming it at the slightly pale, seemingly agitated small Mage.

"You really have a well-calculated plan..."

Conjuring a stone pillar with a texture like granite from thin air to smash away the shield, Double Leaf, after amplifying her middle-rank earth magic [Protective Stone] significantly, immediately swung the magic wand to unleash a high-level earth magic [Fission], attempting to force the enemies advancing within several meters back through consecutive surface explosions, simultaneously disrupting those rapidly weakening the elemental shields.

"Whether the plan is good or not depends on whether you’re willing to cooperate!"

Plunging the giant sword in his hand into the ground, the defiant-faced Orc engaging Double Leaf on the frontline heroically shouted, single-handedly blocking the earth element ripples frantically altering the surface environment, then dispersed the magic power Double Leaf had doubled numerous times with a burst of red ’force’, grinning, "You yourself say it’s a tearjerker no one cares about, so how about abandoning him and escaping on your own? We definitely can’t stop you."

Double Leaf gritted her silver teeth, continuously brandishing the magic wand, spontaneously summoning a vast-scale high-level wind magic [Vacuum Blade Explosion], simultaneously dropping several [Evil Thunder] to force the Orc back seven or eight meters, coldly saying, "None of your junk needs to dictate what I do."

"Enough with the nonsense."

Meanwhile, the man who was previously at the outermost circle talking to Double Leaf appeared ghost-like before the Orc, gently pressing the latter’s shoulder, "Maintaining a calm mindset while executing tasks is good, but..."

"I’m sorry!"

The defiantly styled Orc hastily shouted mid-sentence, admitting his wrongdoing, then under the man’s approval, continued countering Double Leaf’s constraints, but his style noticeably restrained, visibly more composed.

Correspondingly, his flaws decreased.

[Tch, this guy...]

Double Leaf looked somewhat annoyed at that man who effortlessly calmed the slightly agitated ally back to normal, and by doing so, unwittingly erased Double Leaf’s moment of inducement, angrily tossing a quite inconspicuous [Ice Cone Technique] at him, whose large conical attack scope contained explosive power.

Instead, the man chuckled softly before retreating into the defensive circle formed by his Shield Guard and Mage companions, watching comfortably as the Ice Cone Technique, which took a second of flight to reveal its menacing form, shattered against a shield coated with a fire element layer.

Meanwhile, Scarlett Diesel did not remain idle after joining the battle, jumping into the air lightly, using her shield simultaneously to press a shield from above, triggering two concealed [Negative Energy Explosions] in advance, like meteors falling toward Double Leaf’s petite form, and during the process, she additionally displayed Fernan Family’s signature [Barrier Shield]!

At the same time, the elemental shield surrounding Frank Hughes had finally been reduced to less than three layers.

Then, as the group successfully conducted the ’siege’, they heard a sigh—

"Ah, I’m bored."
