149 Chapter 149 - An Imperfect Ending (2/2)

Foe-herder tried forming a new formation again, but just as his fresh plan was about to succeed, Gu Fei had once more unpredictably changed his direction.

Foe-herder was now utterly flabbergasted. He was clearly doing the entrapment, yet he could not help but feel that he was the one being entrapped by an even bigger net.

He would have to change his tactics in order to shed himself off of this unseen, bigger net, and to properly entrap Gu Fei. While it was possible for him to come up with a new plan to force Gu Fei into a corner, he simply did not have time to do so at the moment. After all, there were only six minutes left until this match's end.

The entire mercenary group was in a mess right now. Originally, none of these men thought that this six-man mercenary group was worth their attention or time. All of them thought that this round would be the same as yesterday's match, where they could easily tour about the PvP arena and leave it with a 'perfect' score. And yet, the unexpected happened and they were now in such a disheartening situation. The opponent only had to survive these six minutes and his group would achieve victory. No... That was not right either, as only five minutes were left now.

Gu Fei took note of his surroundings as he ran and spotted a few heads occasionally popping up here and there. Someone was still standing atop that faraway hill; he reckoned that the person was the Berserker from before. Gu Fei restrained himself from rushing over to exchange blows with the Berserker and continued to rigidly follow the path that Young Master Han had set for him through the series of coordinates.

Although he still felt dissatisfied with Young Master Han's method of doing things, he decided to heed Sword Demon's words and curbed his desire to PvP.

Time slipped by. Gu Fei finished running Young Master Han's coordinates with only two minutes left to the PvP match. At the moment, he found himself atop a small hill with the members of Cloud Herder mercenary group heading in his direction in a disorderly fashion.

Gu Fei felt somewhat anxious… With only two minutes left, he did not wish to risk their win by rushing toward the enemies and meeting a similar fate to his dead comrades. That would be too much of a disappointment, after all. If it were just him alone, he would long revel in slaughtering the enemies, consequences be damned. But right now, the fate of the mercenary group was heavily resting upon his shoulders… F*ck! Did I fall for Young Master's tricks yet again? Gu Fei thought to himself as he ran toward a direction where no enemy was visible.

One minute… Thirty seconds… Ten seconds….

Foe-herder finally sat down on the ground in dejection, ”We lost… But it's such an unmerited loss!” All the Cloud Herder's members bellowed helplessly as they were sent out of the PvP arena.

With this, the second round of the mercenary PvP tournament was concluded. Young Master's Elite mercenary group eliminated Cloud Herder mercenary group with a score of 6 against 5.

”Where are they?! Where the hell are those cowards from Young Master's Elite?!” Beyond the teleportation array outside the Hall of Mercenaries, the Cloud Herder's members gathered together and incessantly cursed up and down the street, trying to find the members of the mercenary group that they had just lost to.

When he exited the teleportation array, Gu Fei was immediately dragged off by Sword Demon to a secluded corner, where the other members of Young Master's Elite were huddling. With curses reverberating everywhere, they, especially Royal God Call, could not help but show a distasteful expression on their faces.

Young Master Han listened for a while before shaking his head and saying, ”The tactics we have used this time are still imperfect. We should have covered our faces during the match just now.”

Everyone remained silent for a good while in the face of his statement.

”F*ck! How can this still be considered a win!” Royal God Call was the first to explode, resentfully saying, ”With your command and coordination with Miles, we totally had the ability to take them down. Why did we have to fight them like that?!”

Although they won, the way they had achieved it was neither beautiful nor satisfactory. Cloud Herder mercenary group's unending curses were a testament to this fact.

Young Master Han smiled coldly before replying, ”Our goal is to win this whole mercenary PvP tournament. To do that, we have to rely on a battle strategy that affects the outcome of everything instead of depending on tactics that can only win us one match.”

Royal God Call was taken aback, ”What strategy?”

”You'll find out very soon,” Young Master Han answered mysteriously.

”Fleeing about until the time runs out is not the least bit challenging!” Royal God Call cried indignantly.

”Challenging? Why don't you eat ice cream in a blizzard or take a piss in a rising gale? That's very challenging,” Young Master Han remarked dryly.

”What do you mean by that?!” Royal God Call angrily yelled.

”A meaningful ending or a meaningless challenge, which will you choose?” Young Master Han asked.

”There are some challenges themselves which are very meaningful to me…” Gu Fei suddenly interjected.
