Chapter 204: Riding On The Rumor (1/2)

Sila, Sebastian, and Cross stationed themselves on a te several battles occurring throughout the city

The city was bright even at h it wasn't to the point where the flah for people to panic and the situation to become chaotic

Because the size of the wooden toas sot to see the widest view of the city

Sila had a clear look at as happening The Royal Ared in battles briefly before retreating, leading the enemies to traps or to where they could make use of the terrain

Grea City had a lot of alleys and side streets, so those who knew the lay of the land had an overwhele over those who didn't

Sila now understood why Cross could o help them?” asked Sila

Cross calmly watched the situation “No, ait The opponent's roup just wants to cause a ruckus My ain Even though it was true that Cross' men could fend off the opponents, the nu battles,

“I can help over there They can't hold off anyer at one of the battles below and was about to juo, sir Luring us to engage in the current battles is supposed to be one of the eneoals”

“But they really can't hold off They are dying”

Even if they relied on traps, there wasn't an unli the out Furtherht and could avoid soroups chased down a small number of the Royal Armament Guild's members and forced them into a corner

Soon, a loud explosion went off and the fla both friends and foes in an instant It was a nightht

Sila looked at the situation with bewilder I ordered ather enemies in one place and incinerate them,” Cross explained flatly

“People on your side were there! I can't believe you would do that to your own people!”

Cross coldly stared at Sila “Are you trying to say that I was cruel? Iine yourself in a one-on-one deathmatch Would you sacrifice one of your arms in order to obtain a complete victory?”

“I think I would, but it's not the same That's a part of my body, so it's my choice Those, however, were the lives of others”

“My are where armies kill each other! It's the saenerous or cruel! To win a e must take a look at the overall situation and do whatever it takes to win in the end, even if itsacrifices It is impossible to win a war completely unharmed!!”

“What about the innocent players? So toThat's why they are causing a ruckus where ather They want us to be concerned about the ordinary players and divide our forces in order to help thelance at his systee without a frown When he finished reading, he said:

“There is news about the Sword E players in the south”

“Eh? How is that possible? Mister Cross is here,” asked Sila

“Clearly, that's an imposter This is normal If it were o help people while invalidating the ruhly likely that they have set a trap for me, or have prepared to raid us froo and help theo I'uild is just a suild located in the city These players didn't payWhy should I bother to help them? It's their own life, they should protect it theht? By the way, is it okay to let the imposter do as they please?”

“It's fine A bad reputation is useful in its oay These players already hate me from the start, I don't care if their hatred for me intensifies I will just ride on the rumor they make for me”

Sila could finally see the reason why Montra was th, Crossthe Four Emperors However, if it was about the ability to make decisions under pressure, Cross was as sharp as Montra and co ht for virtue He fought to win

“Is it really fine?” Still, Sila couldn't help but feel worried

Cross turned his head to Sila “Do you think that it's better for e In the sea of ru news, people will only re to explain will justexcuses At a time like this, it is better to ride on the ru”

Cross opened h the guild channel

“Everyone at the south, retreat ie in combat with the fake Sword Emperor and don't help anyone Meanwhile, add on Guild has coic E and leave the Sword E”

Cross closed two of his screens, still leaving some of them open to check the overall situation

Sila wasn't sure whether Cross' plan would work However, he received the answer in less than three an to cal the ordinary players Instead, their objective changed as they headed to the Royal Armament Guild's new base

Fro white clothing with a sy the city

“Just as I expected Since they used an imposter and the army pretended to be mine, that meant they had prepared another arhteousness Kukuku Playing the side of justice is hard, isn't it, Montra?”

Sila got to see Cross frole he hadn't seen before In the future, so him to their bones, but little did they know that it was, in fact, Cross' decision that savedto help would intensify the level of the battles Instead, taking the blame that wasn't true turned out to be the best choice

Even though Cross' real goal was to win, his decision brought a good result that prevented people froainst Cross However, he now realized that every person had both good and bad sides He witnessed Cross' good side today

'What about Montra?' Sila couldn't help asking hiainst Montra and overlooked Montra's other sides?

Cross gave another command and closed his systemHe called one of his subordinates to co hi that, Sila and Sebastian jumped down as well

The three of them were still inside the te their duties Some healed the injured people Some commanded their subordinates Soh it was quite chaotic, everyone see

Sila looked around and saw that all of the people he kneere still in this place The notable sight was Shueria and Fargo locking a certain player's arms as currently unconscious

Based on what Sila saw, this particular player was quite noro and Shueria had to keep their eyes on thisto be us and the ones showing up later as the Heavenly Dragon Guild's arht each other for a while In addition, the latter teahteousness They had to be wary of our traps and explosions on top of that They ure out which syuish friends from foes If we know that, ill have a way to exploit it,” said Cross

Sila frowned “Both of thenize each other's face?”

“It would be possible if we are talking about a small force However, with their numbers and how chaotic the battlefield is, there is no way they can recognize each other They are sure to have sonal”

With Cross' rational explanation, Sila agreed with hi people, there was simply no way for all of thenize each other in the ave an order, and one of his h, cough, cough” The man choked on the water that entered his nose He lifted his head up tiresoly
