Chapter 700 We’ll Do It

The attack was so unexpected that the arrows, which could take turns, hit two targets.

The third arrow was knocked away.

The charging Warrior, on the other hand, simply slapped his shield into the face of an inert Mage. The Mage was flung back with white and red substances splashing out of his head.

Then, someone let out a barbaric roar and jumped out of the dark, and a Rogue suddenly emerged behind a Mage and stabbed him in the back.

The four of them killed four men in gray robes the moment they appeared.

The enemy’s formation was instantly disrupted. Roland extended his finger, and several Arcane Bullets spurted out and killed five enemies in three seconds.

“We’ve been ambushed! Fall back!”

The leader roared and wanted to go.

However, they couldn’t leave as easily as they came.

They had brought the Anti-Magic Arrows and the Dimensional Scrolls here specifically to deal with Roland.

In fact, they were not really strong. They only caused minor trouble for Roland because of their numbers and their equipment.

Now that their formation had been disrupted, and Roland was reinforced, the situation was completely reversed.

Roland snapped his fingers, and a dozen Hands of Magic flew out and helped his friends catch the strangers.

Very soon, they all returned. The Hands of Magic dragged over two people, and his friends were all empty-handed.

They shook their heads at Roland helplessly.

Li Lin explained, “They’re all bodies. They all fell when we caught up to them. The blue stains on them suggest that they’ve been dead for a long time.”

Roland looked at the two captives of his Hands of Magic. One of them was also motionless, whereas the other one was still struggling.

He tore the guy’s wolf-shaped mask off without hesitation, only to find that the man had golden hair, blue eyes, and a unique vibe.

After a brief daze, he narrowed his eyes and said, “You’re a player.”

The man stopped struggling and chuckled. “You see me through.”

“I don’t think there’s any grudge between us.” Roland asked in confusion, “Why did you attack me?”

“Who knows? I simply received a mission to deal with you and I was quite interested in it.” The player smiled unconcernedly. “Think about it. Isn’t it fun and thrilling to hunt the strongest Mage player server-wide?”

“Fun?” Roland stomped on the man’s stomach, making him scream in pain, but nothing more. After all, the players could only feel one-tenth of the pain in reality. “Is it fun to sell human organs and kill ordinary people?”

The man lay on the ground and snorted. “Don’t blame everything on me. I’m not exactly a good person, but I won’t do that kind of thing. Is PVP something nefarious?”

Roland was stunned. He performed an alignment test, only to discover, to his surprise, that the person had green light above his head.

It meant that he had really done nothing evil.

“Hahahaha!” The player laughed cockily. “Roland, you were smart enough to predict that we were going to ambush you and set up a trap against us, but you will never know who’s your enemy. Never.”

Roland sneered. “It’s just the liches, isn’t it?”

“If you think so, that’s fine.” The player laughed, stood up, and jumped at Roland, but his head flew before he got halfway.

Li Lin took his longsword back and seemed rather agitated.

Looking at the body on the ground, Roland heaved a helpless sigh. “It seems that we’ve lost our leads again.”

This was a trap that was specifically meant to deal with Roland.

Roland even suspected that his meeting with Watson was within expectation too.

However, he didn’t think they had manipulated Watson to do that. They had probably influenced a lot of people, and one of them was definitely going to report the matter to Roland.

He speculated that many players received the quest to investigate the human organ business.

One of the “variables” would deliver the intelligence to Roland, so that Roland would voluntarily fall for the trap.

However, Roland wasn’t an idiot.

After he killed Johnson and seized Jakang, he already realized that things had been going too smoothly.

Also, his instinct as a Mage told him that there would be danger.

So, he reached out to his friends and brought them to Aiello with Long Distance Teleportation. He asked them to follow him and help him if he was caught.

Roland’s foresight turned out to be well-grounded.

The enemy had truly set a trap for him.

They had set up such an enormous trap just in order to catch him… It seemed that they couldn’t be simple.

Were they players?

That couldn’t be right. A group of only players couldn’t have been so powerful.

After all, the Phoenix Guild was the greatest guild at this moment, and the main forces of all the major guilds were catching succubi in the Realm of Devils.
