Chapter 21: Ambush Warfare

It's 1 a.m., and the mine is still full of lights. I guess I'm going to mine Mikifs ore overnight.

On Ling's side, they have already divided into groups and are preparing for the next battle.

First, let's talk about the grouping. The people in charge of attracting the attention of the other party are Thomas, Filina, Fanker, Tyco, and Meimei.

Thomas: [Why am I pretending to be Astoro!] ]

Tyco: [That's because you know Astoro's fighting habits best.] And you're the only one of us who can use a spear proficiently. ]

Filina: [After all, you two are more alike!] ]

Thomas: [Not really!] Anyway, why is Fanker also in a group with us, wouldn't it be better to go to the ambush group?! ]

Fanker: [What if Filina-chan gets hurt?!] I'm going to work with her to protect her! ]

And just like that, everyone was ready and the battle began.

On the side of the mine, most of the workers in charge of mining are people who originally worked here. But ever since the Freedom Tree people came, they forced them to mine day and night. Because of this, many people die of exhaustion because they can't bear it. Later, the Freedom Tree Company arrested nearby villagers and forced them to work. As a result, people here are very disgusted with the Freedom Tree Company. They all looked forward to the appearance of a savior.

On such a night, it was mandatory to work overtime. The black-clad guards in charge of the patrol were suddenly attacked by an unknown person.

That's exactly Thomas them.

Taiko sat down and rushed to the guards in one breath. Thomas, on the other hand, attacked the guards with a fake black spear made from tree branches.

When the guards saw the black gas spear in Thomas's hand, they all thought that Prince Bakir was coming, and they were shocked.

At this time, a guard pulled the alarm, and for a while, the alarm sounded.

The people who worked in the mines were overjoyed when they heard the guards say that Prince Bakir had appeared, and they rebelled.

In such an environment, the news also spread to the sleeping night and Xiumiro. The two of them rode in horse-drawn carriages and led their troops towards the mine.

Astoro, on the other hand, had already set a trap in their path. As soon as they pass by, they will immediately set up traps to separate the guards in front and behind. At the same time, after the trap is activated, Thomas and the others will rush over to converge and increase their combat power.

At this time, the carriage of the dark night arrived at the designated position. Then, Haruka pressed the trap switch and blew the road in half. A number of trees fell, successfully blocking the guards behind them.

On the other side, Thomas, when they saw the explosion, prepared to go to the rendezvous. However, the guards stood in the way.

Moreover, they also knew that there were many miners standing here behind them, ready to fight with them.

Fanker: [The trap is activated, let's go.] ]

Tyco: [Wait!] What about the miners behind us?! Are you going to leave them behind?! ]

Mimi: [As far as the situation is concerned, if we leave them alone now, it may have a negative impact on the future.] ]

Filina: [But isn't the most necessary task right now to defeat the boss?!] ]

Tyco: [But if you leave them behind, perhaps their long-awaited hope will be gone.] At least that's what they thought. If you want to go, go for it. I'm staying. ]

Fanker: [What to do?!] Thomas, say something. ]

Thomas: [...... I'm staying. ]

Filina: [But isn't it time to join them first?!] How does it not feel like you! Thomas. ]

Thomas: [If that guy were that, I guess I would have chosen to do it.] Moreover, protecting the people is also an important task for me as a king. They should be able to figure it out. ]

Fanker: [Well!] Since Thomas said so, let's quickly finish the guards here and rush over to meet them. ]

Now, the ambush group is here.

Immediately after the explosion, the carriage stopped.

Then, two people came out of the carriage, and they were Dark Night and Shumiro.

Night: [Ambush!] Such an old tactic, I didn't expect it to be quite effective. ]

At this point, Astoro and the others walked out.

Dark Night recognized Ling at once.

[Oh!] Isn't that the kid I've seen in prison before? Not dead yet! ]

Ling: [Thanks to you, all of us survived.] ]

Night: [Then die here.] ]

Shumiro: [Lord Night, the shortest of them is probably Prince Bakir.] ]

Night: [Prince Bakir?] The one who has the King's Tools? I didn't expect it to be delivered to my door in person! ]

Astoro: [Hey!] What I've heard is just a little late, definitely not short! ]

As soon as the sword came from Xiumiro's body, he felt an incomparably strong battle intent. This guy is definitely strong! I'm better than me!

Kenichi: [When the battle starts in a while, the guy with the knife over there will be left to me to deal with, and you will work together to defeat the man called the Night.] ]

Ling: [What's wrong?!] ]

Kenichi: [The man with the knife is very strong, maybe even stronger than me!] ]

Ling: [Then you can deal with it.] Thomas: They should be over soon. ]

Dark Night: [Although the number of people is smaller than ours, the individual combat power is not low!] Then come on. You'll regret fighting me at night! ]

Kenichi and Shumiro moved to the woods next to them at once, and a sword duel between the two began.

And Astoro, Ling, and Haruka dealt with one person in the dark night. As for the other guards, it seems that they were stunned by the explosion when the trap was activated. Forget it, they're all creeps anyway, so it doesn't matter.

At this point, Night's abilities are activated in full force.

All the shadows on the ground seem to be a little ready to move, trying to rush out of the ground.

Ling: [Be careful, that person's abilities are probably a bit like the Dark Ring.] ]

Suddenly, the ground cracked. No, where there are shadows, they are all cracked.

Haruka didn't notice that his left foot was sunk into the cracked ground.

Ling: [Haruka!] ]

Haruka: [It's okay, this kind of attack doesn't work at all.] ]

Haruka concentrated his qi on his right fist, and then swung it towards the ground at once, shattering the entire ground, and then took advantage of this opportunity to jump out.

Astoro, on the other hand, conjured a golden spear and rushed towards the night.

However, about 1 meter away from the dark night, suddenly in front of the dark night, a black wall-like thing appeared, blocking Astoro's attack.

Astoro: [Can't even wear it?!] ]

At this time, Ling took out two guns, jumped into the air, and aimed at the dark night. But suddenly, something grabbed Ling and shook her off. Ling fell heavily to the ground.

Ling immediately noticed.

[It's a shadow!] ]

Night: [That's right, the power of my Star Ring is to control shadows, so you can't beat me!] ]

Astoro: [Isn't he the strongest on a night like this?!] ]

Haruka: [Even Astoro's attack just now doesn't work!] ]

Ling: [No, Astro was caught in his own shadow just now, not that he couldn't penetrate the black shadow wall.] ]

Astoro: [But why didn't I feel it?!] ]

Ling: [I don't know, but I'm afraid that as long as there is a shadow, that person is almost invincible.] ]

Haruka: [Let's try it with a flashbang.] ]

Ling fires a flashbang into the air. The intense glow of the flashbang almost obscured the darkness of this place.

At such an instant, Haruka and Astro both rushed into the night.

Dark Night: [It's boring!] Will you use such a method?! ]

However, even with flashbangs, it can't erase all the shadows.

For under the soles of the feet there must be shadows.

The night has taken control of their shadows, making them unable to move!

Night: [That way you can't move.] Then it's my turn to attack! ]

So, what the hell will Ling and them do to defeat the Night?! Are there any drawbacks to the Star Ring in the Night?!
