“Psst”

The blood-stained sword pierced through the h his eyes, but his expression then turned e the blood-stained sword After that, he looked at the surrounding forest with serious expression

What that ht were alroup didn’t just send one unit here According to that unlucky worroup sent two-thirds of their forces They were divided into three units to follow and attack Starlight when necessary Strictly speaking, the team that Rhode attacked wasn’t even considered as a combat unit They were only responsible for reconnaissance According to the Jade Tears e while the coet The last unit disappeared just after they entered the Twilight Forest; they were reinforcement, but the man Rhode asked didn’t knohere they were located

Originally, these two units shouldn’t have been too far fro happened, it would be easier for them to back each other up However, the situation was co to the report, the person that led the main force was someone that just recently joined the Jade Tears, and Bell wasn’t willing to follow the command of such a person That hy after they entered the Twilight Forest, two sides became hostile towards each other, so Bell took his own unit and left Clearly, they weren’t planning to meet each other anyht before the attack began and then send people to notify the roup If not for him, it was basically iet all the way out here!

Although Rhode knew froroup of trash, their extent of trashi+ness really an to wonder whether the opponent was deliberately acting weak to lure himself into falsification Otherwise, didn’t that ht Rhode’s attention wasn’t where the main force whose location remained unknoas, but the reinforceht Forest and the only things that passed by were floating airshi+ps Naturally, thieves and bandits didn’t exist, since they didn’t have wings to fly and snatch goods That hy froht Forest was deserted Perhaps, there would be some adventurers at ti However, to actually seek reinforce to talk with those wild beast or so towards Frank, he believed that Frank wasn’t an extremely stupid person Most likely, the so-called reinforcement was the real main force of this attack and these mercenaries were just a pretense Else, they wouldn’t need to wait until the reinforceh Rhode still wanted to ask about it, the man was only a subordinate and didn’t know much about the details of the actual situation Perhaps the captain would know, but unfortunately he had already died in the woman’s arms Until then, Rhode didn’t realized that the man he had easily killed before was the leader of the unit Holy soul bless, he thought thatfor fun

“What should we do now, kid? Should we finish those guys?”

“Just the two of us?”

Rhode shook his head There were h they could both retreat safely after going, they still couldn’t guarantee that the enemy wouldn’t be startled Rhode definitely didn’t want to wake up a sleeping wolf His policy was to do it clean or do nothing, and he didn’t intend to do anything halfway

In the end, Rhode made the decision to temporarily retreat

In any case, without scouts, it would be difficult for theroups didn’t didn’t exchange any information It was likely that the opponent wouldn’t be aware of the proble before the other side found out, the situation was still very favorable to them

Of course, Rhode left Old Walker behind and let hiate the direction that captive has told theer had run all night long following Rhode; he just wanted to go back and sleep alone but was instead ordered to stay behind in the forest to suffer Thistable gesture, but facing his co and sier was stunned for a hed After that, he continued to do the task assigned to him

When Rhode returned back to the base ca froh she had now reached level 15, his soul poas about the sae To maintain Celia’s existence, he needed to spend 30 soul power per hour, which was a huge price to pay This was also the reason that he chose to teht, he had spent nearly a third of his soul power In such condition, he certainly couldn’t risk hie of the night watch, he infor to start a new training After that, he walked back to his own tent wearily and quickly fell into a deep sleep

When Rhode woke up the next day, it was already midday

Outside the tents, the mercenaries that heard the command had finished the preparation They put out the fire, recovered the trap, and turned everything back to normal Marlene and the others looked a little bit bored at thethe scenery, the others also didn’t object to letting her enjoy this rare vacation
