Chapter 912: Chapter 329 Federation Mission (Two-in-One Chapter)
Retreat?
If they don’t assign people to cover the retreat, it would be nearly impossible to withdraw at this moment.
And judging by the strength that Rein has displayed, unless he leaves most of his team behind to cover the retreat, it would likely be ineffective.
But now there’s another problem… he’s not willing!
Right in front of him are two Elf women, if he doesn’t make a move now, there won’t be another chance.
After all, they’re not fools. If both Elves truly manage to escape back to Ferdinand Forest, his planning this time would be all for nothing.
With most of the team dead or injured and greatly weakened, that would be a significant loss!
No way! They can’t retreat!
At the very least, they need to capture one Elf before retreating!
Even though doing so might mean inevitable casualties for the team, he would not only be blameless in front of Duke Drum but also be credited!
“Esteban, you two go for a pincer attack with nets! Garcia, use your strong bow to intercept!” Having made up his mind, Sam quickly deployed the orders.
“Diom, don’t worry about your side, target that Elf girl, quick!”
As soon as Sam finished speaking, the members of the Sam Group sprang into action immediately.
There’s no denying that the official members of the Sam Group are exceedingly well-trained with very strong execution.
Of course, it’s important to note that team combat is vastly different from solo fighting.
At the moment, the members of the Sam Group still believe that through teamwork, their team can still measure up to Rein, and if nothing else, a safe retreat shouldn’t be too big of an issue.
Esteban and another person quickly pulled out two nets and threw them towards Rein. The nets spread open in mid-air, covering a range of five to six meters in diameter like dark clouds.
The two naturally understood that although the nets are crafted from special materials, they still wouldn’t pose much trouble for a master like Rein.
But their aim was clear, to momentarily stall Rein, allowing Garcia to seize the opportunity when Rein dodged or blocked to launch an attack.
They have practiced this cooperation many times in actual combat as team members and are quite confident about it.
Of course, their ultimate goal is to assist their captain in successfully abducting one Elf, thus achieving their expected target.
By this time, Garcia had already aimed her massive bow at Rein, and with a “whoosh,” a feathered arrow streaked with a dark light shot straight at Rein!
In an instant, the attacks from all three directions converged on Rein!
And at that moment, all three were closely watching Rein’s figure, seeing the feathered arrow already nearing Rein, yet he still hadn’t dodged. Joyful expressions appeared on their faces.
Judging by their expressions, it seemed they wanted to say Rein, after all, is still young, very strong but lacking in experience.
It’s worth noting that Garcia’s feathered arrow is poisoned.
If it so much as scratches the skin, the poison will seep in, causing gradual paralysis, not enough to completely immobilize, but certainly reducing strength significantly.
By then, the battle situation might be reversed at any moment.
“Sizzle!”
But to their astonishment, the arrow actually passed through Rein and embedded itself deep in the ground, the tail feather still vibrating incessantly!
No!
It was an afterimage! Rein’s real body was no longer in the original spot.
The three were simultaneously taken aback!
“Boom!!!”
Esteban suddenly let out a muffled groan, his entire body unexpectedly lifted half a meter off the ground, curled by some immense force, his eyes protruding and mouth agape, tongue lolling out.
At that moment, a figure appeared in front of Esteban, posing as if punching Esteban in the abdomen.
The person turned out to be Rein!
After leveling up to the Epic Level Profession ‘King of Thousand Blades,’ his power surged.
On this foundation, he activated the Top Secret Technique ‘Shadow Step,’ with movement speed now almost beyond what an ordinary Great Knight’s naked eye can track.
Only Garcia, as an archer, could barely track Rein’s figure.
But tracking was one thing, before she could even warn, Esteban met his misfortune!
At once, she drew another arrow, notched it on her bow, repeatedly aiming, but couldn’t bring herself to shoot.
The next second!
Another Sam Group official member who threw the capturing net suddenly was sent flying backward with a loud “boom,” crashing heavily into the villa’s ashlar wall, with cobweb-like cracks rapidly spreading in concentric circles from his body.
Meanwhile, his entire body was embedded into the wall.
Garcia glanced quickly and knew he was beyond saving.
For the fellow’s pupils were already starting to glaze, dilate, and mouth inadvertently overflowing with copious blood.
Clearly, Rein’s punch just now shattered all of his internal organs.
Two seconds, two Great Knights down!
Witnessing this scene made Garcia’s entire body shiver!
Her heart felt as if it plummeted into an eternal icy abyss.
Originally, she hoped to interfere with her arrows, through the tight coordination of the three, to at least slow Rein down, possibly to confine him in a specialized net for some time.
But the brutal reality in front of her told her.
That teamwork could resist strong enemies is true, but this time, they nearly couldn’t even track the enemy’s traces. In which case, whatever follow-up cooperation or siege, all of it was utterly illusory.
Completely unattainable!
