During this time, Lanny came again, taking away the thirty footprint maps that Elise had brought.

Free is free, why not take advantage?

After Jasmine had rested, she led the Brotherhood Group and the Social Phobia Group to start mapping as well.

They had some free time on their hands.

If they didn’t want to be idle, they needed to find something to do themselves.

After finishing the map, everyone returned to the state of waiting for the enemy to show up.

It was rather boring.

As they waited, the “Sun” set and the “Moon” started its shift.

The “day” passed, and the “night” began.

No sign of the enemy was seen.

Some people began to feel annoyed and mumbled a few words under their breath.

Lanny glared coldly at Isko Alex, who was impatient.

Ever since Lanny changed her strategy of individual development to “joining” Link Grande, Isko had been complaining incessantly.

Mumbling in private was bad enough.

Now that they were all on a team, resting together in the same hidden fortification, he was still grumbling and criticizing.

Did he think people couldn’t hear him?

Isko curled his lip in contempt, but in the end, he closed his mouth and stopped complaining.

He had been saying things like “Where are the pursuers?”, “I was discovered and ran quickly, fearing a fight”, “Helping others out so diligently, you have a warm heart” and so on.

Link heard everything, but dismissed it as nonsense.

A simple sparrow couldn’t understand the aspirations of a swan.

Time quietly passed by, indifferent to human will.

Link suddenly woke up from his light sleep as he estimated it would soon be “dawn.”

He had sensed a heavy killing intent gathering.

“Wake up, prepare for battle.”

Link ordered in a low voice, waking up the people who hadn’t fallen into a deep sleep, “Quick, get into your positions.”

The two teams quickly moved into their assigned positions in the trench, as per the previous arrangements, moving from the underground fortification into various attack positions in the tunnel.

“Enemy attack!”

Even though the live reconnaissance images from the Flying Sphere didn’t show any trace of the enemy, Link still sent a warning to Elise and Monroe.

He trusted his intuition and perception.

Especially when it came to malice, hostility, and killing intent.

And even more so when Monroe’s Stealth Magic Tools were right by his side.

The enemy that had driven Monroe and Elise away was definitely very strong and wouldn’t be without Stealth Magic Tools.

Monroe’s team and Elise’s team, who had been in stealth mode, quickly got into action and entered combat mode.

Clearly, they didn’t blindly believe in the Reconnaissance Magic Tools.

Concealing movement and camouflage were common tactics used by both sides during the numerous big fights these days.

A loud rumbling suddenly sounded.

A high-intensity encounter erupted at the entrance of the Mountain Basin.

The Opposition camp, hidden here, clashed with Monroe’s team who came to investigate, bombarding each other face-to-face.

The thing they relied on most were their Rune Objects and Magic Tools.

Witchcraft?

The Zero Ring Witchcraft was just an auxiliary method.

Link moved around the tunnel, calming the two teams, making sure they weren’t affected by the sudden outbreak of intense battle.

To tell you the truth, even Link was somewhat taken aback.

In less than a minute, both sides had actually used three of their great weapons.

Monroe’s team used one.

The pursuers used two, forcibly creating a breach.

This firepower, it’s fucking insane!

The pursuers were large in number and had the initiative.

Monroe’s team held them off for a while, but they really couldn’t hold them anymore.

Then, their feigned defeat turned into a real one.

They didn’t leave anyone behind to cover their retreat, Monroe activated a trap, and with the support of Elise’s team, they began to retreat towards the basin’s interior and the riverbank.

Fierce flames erupted in the Mountain Basin.

The pursuers wouldn’t let up, clinging onto Monroe and Elise relentlessly.

Seeing this, Link reminded in a deep voice, “Stay steady, without my order, no one is allowed to launch an attack prematurely.”

Soon, Monroe’s team and Elise’s team were fighting and retreating, arriving at the riverbank.

The two teams diverged towards two sides, preparing to initiate a counter­attack as planned, flanking the pursuers from the sides.

Monroe secretly hoped that Team Link wouldn’t screw up.

Otherwise, they would be completely done for today.

“Attack!”

Link ordered loudly, “Throw the Self-Destructing Fire Thunders.”

Before his orders were finished, Isko Alex jumped out of the trench and charged at the pursuers, shouting loudly.

He was alone, resolved and filled with fighting spirit.

He seemed like a lone knight charging at a windmill.

Link’s face turned cold instantly.

Rage burned in his chest.

Was this guy an idiot?

He couldn’t understand orders!
