147 Chapter 147 - Incomprehensible (1/2)
”This is it! The crucial moment!” Young Master Han muttered to himself as he adjusted his position atop the tall tree to clearly monitor the Cloud Herder mercenary group's movements. ”Miles, head toward 118, 425. Sword Demon, turn toward 211, 301. Brother Assist, move toward 489, 101. Royal, hit me up when you finally exit the forest.”
Once more, no response came for that last statement.
Gu Fei, Sword Demon, and Brother Assist were running all over the map, while Royal God Call was busying himself with getting lost inside the forest.
Over by the Cloud Herder mercenary group's side, the group leader Foe-herder personally climbed up the hilltop that his men had once held the vantage point in his desire to see just how fast the Mage was.
Gu Fei's fast speed was indeed very eye-catching with all the players running about like ants in this map. Foe-Herder was quite flabbergasted when he saw this. After all, Gu Fei's abnormally fast speed would only make sense if he were a Thief or an Archer who could attain such speed by wearing a pair of top-grade boots and adding a lot of points toward Agility. As for a Mage… How many points to Agility would it take to achieve such fast speed? A Mage with great Agility but low Intelligence would be useless by then, so how did he kill off four Archers in one go?
Foe-herder quickly contacted the four scouts Gu Fei had eliminated moments ago. ”How did you guys die?”
”He cut us down with a sword.”
”I doubt that! That guy's a Mage, so why would he cut you all with a sword?” Foe-herder emphasized the word 'cut' as he asked this question.
”We don't know either!” the four had a really aggrieved expression on their faces right now, yet their group leader could naturally not see that through the mercenary channel.
”Did you lot use Appraisal on him?” Foe-herder pressed on.
”No…” None of them managed to appraise Gu Fei, considering that they had barely fired off two rounds of arrows before Gu Fei was already upon them.
Could he be a wolf in sheep's clothing, purposely wearing a robe to make others mistake him for a Mage? As Foe-herder was thinking of this, the four sent this message: ”But we did hear him chant 'Twin Incineration' when he attacked us.”
”A spell incantation doesn't necessarily have to be uttered by a Mage,” Foe-herder said exasperatedly.
”But there was a fiery glow!” The two men who had gotten burned by Gu Fei's spell insisted.
”There is this sort of thing called additional magic attack!” Foe-herder ended the conversation with that statement, convinced that he had wholly figured out the conundrum. That guy is truly crafty; he must be a Thief,Foe-herder thought to himself as he watched Gu Fei sprint away.
Standing high up on the hill, not only could Foe-herder see the general lay of the land, he had also become a highly prominent target. Gu Fei who was currently running on the PvP field had fond memories on that hilltop since it was the place that he had finished off the opposing scouts, and when he casually glance over there again, he spotted Foe-herder that was standing up there.
Gu Fei happily fired off a message on the mercenary channel, ”There is someone up that hill again!”
”I saw already…” Young Master Han replied.
”How should I rush over there?” Gu Fei needed Young Master Han's guidance for his assault route as he did not want to accidentally run into three or four teams along the way.
”Don't go there. From here onward, your only job is to run. No need to tangle with the enemies anymore,” Young Master Han instructed.
”WHAT?!” Besides Gu Fei, Royal God Call and Brother Assist also exclaimed this when they heard Young Master Han's words.
”Right now, we have 4 kill points while they have 1 kill point. No need for more kills since we are in the lead,” Young Master Han explained.
”But I have faith that I can eliminate them all with your instructions!” Gu Fei argued confidently. If it was just this single eight-man team, Gu Fei could definitely wipe it out. In this manner, finishing off Cloud Herder's sixty plus members was doable with him alone.
”No need for that; just run!”
”Why?!” Gu Fei was not resigned to this decision. They evidently had the strength to initiate attacks, so why did they have to act so cowardly?
”That's right! Why do we have to be sneaky when we can fight them?!” Royal God Call was discontented as well. He might have no sense of direction, but he still had his pride as an expert!
”Miles, change your direction to 234, 259; Royal God Call, a team has just entered the forest to search it. Note where you're hiding,” Young Master Han actually ignored Royal God Call's and Gu Fei's objection.
”Awesome! I'll take care of them!” Royal God Call declared. Although fighting in this sort of terrain for a geospatially challenged person like himself was hard, Royal God Call would rather struggle than be cowardly like Young Master Han.
”Brother Assist, move to 322, 145,” Since Royal God Call was blatantly snubbing his instruction, Young Master Han also deliberately ignored his comment.
”Young Master, why are we dealing with them like this when – when we can kill them?” Brother Assist was not rash like Royal God Call and chose to follow the instruction as he voiced his inner qualms.
”Brother Assist, can you not be so childish like them?” Young Master Han asked instead.
