Chapter 285: Ambush Halfway
Listening to Mustafa's words, I couldn't help but make a sudden decision, straightened my body violently, and I was about to give the order to go at full speed and go to the valley to hand in the mission, the next moment...... I was shaken all over my body, and I thought about it!
For a long time, we always thought that as long as we received ten badges, we would be the champion, but now it seems that this is obviously stupid, and the thought of this, cold sweat quickly ran down my face......
I glanced at Mustafa in fear, if it weren't for this guy shouting like this, I might not have realized what I was doing wrong, but now, I finally know why I have been feeling uneasy.
That's right, the union did only issue ten cards, and each adventure party could only receive ten badges from the staff, but don't forget, the chairman repeated again and again that this last level of the competition allows adventure groups to attack each other and compete with each other!
Although we have already obtained ten badges, since others can rob us, then we can naturally rob others, so that we will have more than ten badges in our hands?
According to the rules of the last level, as long as you have a badge, you can exchange for 10 points, so ...... Not only the badges we received, but also the badges we snatched, we can also exchange points, in this way, although in the previous three levels, we are two or thirty points ahead of other teams, but as long as the other party has three or four more badges than us, the result will be completely different!
Thinking of this, I raised my head sharply, and after summoning Suzaku, I quickly ordered him to investigate, and once I found other adventure teams, I immediately came back and reported to me!
Hearing my order, Suzaku nodded slightly, then spread his wings, jumped into the air, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, looking at the quickly disappearing Suzaku, I couldn't help but pray silently, I hope everything is in time!
"Boss, what are you doing......? We're going to grab the other ......" Halfway through, the blood wolf covered his mouth in horror and looked at me with a shocked expression.
Looking at the frightened expression of the blood wolf, I knew...... He also thought about what was wrong, yes...... This last level of the game is actually not only about how to get it, but most importantly if you snatch and counter-rob, I believe...... At the end of the day, the team with the most adventure badges will definitely have twenty or thirty in total!
Looking at the frightened expressions of me and the blood wolf, Alanx quickly understood, only Betty and Mustafa didn't quite understand, and I had no choice but to explain in detail.
Soon, under my explanation, everyone understood the power of this, and for a while, we couldn't help but gather together to study this issue.
After studying for a while, Suzaku flew back and told us that there was no trace of any adventure group within a radius of a hundred miles, but there were some demonic beasts.
Listening to Suzaku's return, I couldn't help but ponder, there are still two days left before the end of the game, it seems that ...... They won't be back until the last day.
Frowning slightly, we gathered again and studied all night, and the next morning, we began to act according to our plan.
Time passed little by little, and finally ...... After a busy day, we finally got everything done, and after a night's rest, the next day, the last day of the assignment, finally ...... Suzaku reported to us that a hundred miles away, the first returning troops appeared!
With a slight movement in my heart, I summoned the White Tiger and ordered the other four rookies to wait in place, and I rushed towards the team at full speed, whether or not to set them as our target, I must personally observe them.
With the help of the white tiger, I soon met the group of adventurers, a few hundred meters away, I quietly lay on the ground, raised my right hand slightly, and used the detector in my right hand to detect the past, and immediately ...... The strength of the members of this adventuring group clearly appeared in front of me.
Watching this team quietly go away, I couldn't help but laugh darkly, in this team, there are three AA-level adventurers, and two S-level adventurers, although it is a bit difficult to deal with, but we have our own accuracy, as long as everything goes well, it is absolutely possible to succeed!
When the team was finally gone, I summoned the White Tiger again, rushed back at a gallop, and after carefully checking all the arrangements again, we silently waited for the team to come.
A hundred miles away, not far away, not close to say close, but for our opponent, two or three hours is enough, after returning to the four rookies, it didn't take long for Suzaku to send news that the adventure group had arrived!
With a dark smile, Alanx and Betty donned our special rags, smeared with the blood of the beasts, and carried a few badges, and greeted the party, yes...... They're the bait!
Thump......
On the other side, the poor adventuring group that we were targeting, apparently unaware of a conspiracy, had launched a conspiracy against them, and was on their way at full speed when suddenly ...... They could clearly hear a dull sound.
Confused, everyone drew their weapons and cautiously pressed in the direction from which the voice came, this place is very close to the valley, but don't do anything!
Pulling away the grass, these guys were pleasantly surprised to find that two figures covered in blood and tattered clothes were struggling to get up from the ground, scrambling to pick up the shiny badges on the ground around them!
"You, what did you do? Why don't you put the badge in hand, if it is seen by another adventurer, it will definitely be snatched, you know...... In this competition, (hand-to-hand play by members of the martial arts house) but the points are converted according to the number of badges, as long as it is a badge, points will be given, in case it is robbed by others, won't the brothers all die in vain?" a female voice sounded in a low voice.
Looking at the two down-and-out figures, watching them hurriedly pick up a dozen or so badges, listening to what they said, finally ...... The poor adventuring group we were eyeing was tempted......
Hey, hey, hey......
Amidst the laughter, the five members of the adventure group walked out of their hiding places one after another, and said with a dark smile: "Okay, if you want to continue living, hand over your badge immediately, otherwise...... Don't blame us for being ruthless!"
Yikes!
Hearing the voice, the two guys, who were ragged and covered in blood, looked up at them in horror, and then ...... With a scream, the two guys turned around and ran, shouting loudly as they ran: "Quick, run, just run into the valley and be safe!"
That's right, these two ragged and bloody guys are none other than Betty and Alanx, who I sent out to lure the enemy, and among the five rookies, Alanx is a dancer from the forest, and Betty moves in the forest much faster than us, so ...... They are responsible for luring the enemy!
Seeing that those guys had been fooled, Alanx dropped the last bait, turned around and ran towards the area we had set up, and he definitely didn't worry about the other party not chasing after him.
This is exactly the case, looking at the valley not far away, the commander of the other party also knows that no force is allowed in the valley, once they escape into the valley, then everything is over, if you want their badge, then the only way is to stop them before they reach the valley!
Pursue!
With a cold shout, the five adventurers galloped up at full speed and chased after Betty and Alanx, who were as fast as rabbits, but they were confident that they could catch up with each other before they entered the valley.
Ah!
While I was chasing, I suddenly ...... Among the two figures fleeing in front, the more petite figure stumbled violently, as if he had tripped over something, and in the scream, one of them fell to the ground.
Not good!
Seeing the petite figure fall, the tall and straight figure in front of him let out a low scream, and actually stopped, turned around and tried to pick up the petite figure on the ground, at the same time, several pursuers jumped up at full speed and rushed towards the two people on the ground in the air.
Looking at several enemies flying in the air, Alanx and Betty couldn't help but smile, their bodies quickly somersaulting, giving up the position below them, and the next moment ...... The three faster pursuers finally landed on their feet......
Thump......
With a dull sound, the three guys disappeared to the ground strangely, and at the same time, Aranx and Betty turned around sharply and jumped at the two guys behind them like lightning.
In an adventuring group, the fastest ones are either thieves or samurai, and those who are left behind must be mages and other professions, and now ...... The three samurai have fallen into the trap, so all Alanx and Betty have to do now is to subdue the two mages who are following behind!
Obviously, the other party did not expect that we were making an arrangement specifically for them, so ...... The three warriors who were chasing in front actually stepped into the trap, and at the same time, the two mages who followed behind were slightly stunned, they had been subdued by Alanx and Betty, and there was no way to ...... Who told them to chase so quickly?
Speaking of which, the two mages are unlucky enough, in fact, their strength is very strong, and they have reached the super level of the S-rank, but no matter how strong their strength is, within twenty meters, they will definitely not be able to dodge Alanx's strong shots!
Standing there elegantly, Alanx's bow was full of strings, and there were two sharp arrows on the strings, the tips of the arrows were slightly separated to the sides, pointing at the throats of the two mages respectively, at such a close distance, as long as he felt any magic fluctuations, Alanx would not hesitate to shoot out, at such a close distance, with the ability of the mage, it was absolutely impossible to dodge.
As we all know, behind the mage's powerful magic attack, is the mage's weak body, without a magic shield in advance, the mage's melee ability is equal to zero, for Alanx, in the current situation, even if they are S-level magicians, but killing them, and pinching an ant to death, there is no difference at all.
Boom, boom, boom......
At this moment, in the trap behind him, three figures suddenly jumped out, yes...... It was the three warriors who had just fallen into the trap, but unfortunately, before they could make any moves, the energy in the sky poured down overwhelmingly, and in the violent roar, the three guys were tragically hammered back into the trap again.
Stop it!
At this moment, among the two mages, the blue-robed mage suddenly raised his hand and shouted loudly, and suddenly ...... The three samurai inside the trap did not try to rush out again.
Then, the blue-robed mage looked up at us and said in a deep voice, "Today we have confessed, what is your purpose, just say it!"
Top dog!
Listening to the blue-robed mage's words, the red-robed mage standing beside him couldn't help but become anxious, and said eagerly: "Boss, we finally ......."
Shut up!
Before the red-robed mage could finish speaking, the blue-robed mage interrupted him, and then continued: "So far, if the other party is ruthless, the two of us have already hung up, and once the two of us die, the other party will be five against three, do you think we have a chance to live?"
This......
Facing the boss's words, the red-robed mage couldn't help but be speechless, the team that was able to come here was actually not a real fool, and after a little thought, he understood, so ...... He had no way to refute the words of the blue-robed mage.
Gently reaching into his arms, the red-robed mage took out an animal skin bag and gently threw it at us, while saying helplessly: "Your purpose is these badges, since this is the case...... Take it!"
This......
Hesitantly, he took the animal skin bag, opened it, and sure enough...... As we imagined, with ten badges in our pockets, plus the ten we got ourselves, we now have 20!
Ha ha......
Seeing the badge in the animal skin pocket, Mustafa couldn't help laughing, and said excitedly: "Boss, in this way, our championship throne will be stable!"
Is it stable?
Hearing Mustafa's words, I couldn't help but think, there are a total of 100 badges, and we only got 20, so to speak, there are so badges outside, and the total points have reached 800 points, and even if we add these 20 badges in our hands, the total points are only less than 300 points, and if we want to ensure the championship, there are many worse!
Master!
While thinking about it, Suzaku's voice came: "Master, the west, the north, and the east have each appeared an adventure group, and now the distance from us is about 40 miles!"
Kindness?
I frowned suspiciously, for a while, my brows couldn't help frowning, with the strength of our rookie adventure group, we must rely on traps, or conspiracies and tricks to get other teams, if we resist head-on, I'm afraid we can only get one team at most, and then we will be paralyzed!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help frowning, even if I grabbed another team, what could it represent? The champion still can't be said to be stable, unless you grab more than 50 badges, otherwise, the champion may not be ours!
"This brother, since the badges have been given to you, can we leave now?" said the blue-robed mage on the other side as I pondered.
This......
Listening to the words of the blue-robed mage, I couldn't help but hesitate, it stands to reason that since people have already given us badges, then we should naturally let them go, but if we really do this, we have to worry about them from behind us, as long as we are killed before the deadline, they can still take our badges to exchange points, in that case, the champion is them!
Moreover, with the strength of the two S-rank mages on the opposite side, we can't compete at all, unless we are as close as we are now, otherwise, if we don't get closer, the two of us join forces, I'm afraid we will be killed in an instant.
Ay......
Sighing helplessly, I can't let them go, but just kill them? It seems a bit too much, although I am not a soft-hearted person, but ...... I still don't want to do it if I kill people for no reason.
With my head down, I tried to think, what to do, what to do, what to do, what to do with the team in front of me, and ...... What are we going to do with the three teams that are rushing here quickly?
"Boss, since the chairman of the union said that they can attack each other, they ...... Let's ......" Seeing the hesitation on my face, Mustafa couldn't help but speak.
Kindness?
Suspiciously, he looked at Mustafa suspiciously, yes...... The chairman of the union said that the adventuring groups are allowed to attack each other and rob each other, and since this is the case, it seems understandable that I will be ruthless!
Wait a minute!
Just as he was about to give the order and let Alanx do it, the next moment...... I shook all over my body, and at the same time ...... My eyes lit up too!
That's right, the president of the union did say that the adventuring parties could attack each other and rob each other, and he repeated it several times, but ...... This doesn't seem to be the one he's repeated the most!
Let me think about it! The chairman of the union repeats the most that everything is allowed except for not violating the rules of the game, and as long as you bring the badge, you will be exchanged for points, why? Why does he repeat this sentence again and again?
Does the president of the Adventure Guild mean that it's okay to find a staff member to cheat? No! No...... If cheating was really allowed, then I wouldn't have been so excited about my business before!
Since it's not a hint that everyone can cheat, and you can't cheat in this tournament, then ...... There must be a deep meaning hidden in the chairman's words, but it is just ...... What is he trying to tell us?
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally ...... I raised my head sharply and looked at the blue-robed mage opposite excitedly, I finally thought of it, I finally thought of the meaning of the words of the union president!
