Chapter 568 - Commence (3) (1/2)

The next day came. Auron's group had already moved back to match Smite's and Jeffrey's groups' position.

When the sun rose, Smite's and Jeffrey's groups had prepared their position. Their task today was to hold their position and lured as many enemies as possible.

Meanwhile, Regalia's side already dispatched several more small groups to harras Smite's and Jeffrey's groups.

”Prepare for battle!” Smite shouted.

Everyone in Smite's group had already aware of the strategy, but not the enemies. When the close Regalia's small groups heard Smite's shout, they immediately backed out. They increased their vigilance towards Smite's group.

When the Regalia's groups saw that Smite's group was not moving, they were confused. Several groups even looked at the other groups asking their opinion. However, none of the groups knew what Smite's group was doing.

One group tried to attack Smite's group just like what they had done all the previous time. After launching one attack, they immediately backed out.

After this one attack, they frowned. The feeling was different. This time, Smite's group's vigilance was high. The attacking group had suffered minor injuries while his attack missed the target. It was difficult to attack unscratched.

The ranged and magic unit from Smite's group had been protected completely, and it was difficult to attack them.

After several tries, Smite's group was stood still. They were not bothered with these small attacks. On the other hand, the small groups confused about what to do.

If they attacked, they would only suffer the injuries. In the end, they decided to surround Smite's group. They wanted to prevent Smite's and Jeffrey's groups from escaping. However, they also didn't attack and just kept on observing Smite's and Jeffrey's groups from far away.

Actually, by waiting here, Gaia's side would become disadvantaged. So, Regalia's side didn't have to do anything.

1 hour passed by and there was still no sign of movement from Smite's and Jeffrey's groups. Meanwhile, on Regalia's side, more and more small groups gathered around here. During this time, they had sent a messenger back to the stop area to ask for the commander's further command.

The commander of the Regalia's side saw this as an opportunity to stop Smite's and Jeffrey's groups from escaping. He intended to surround the groups and waited for the reinforcement and annihilated them at one go. Hence, he sent several more small groups to Smite's place.

Another hour passed by, Regalia's small groups had already surrounded Smite's and Jeffrey's groups. Smite counted that there were more than 10 groups of three people. There should be almost 40 people from the Regalia's side.

It was quite a big number considering the total amount of Regalia's soldiers only amounted to around 100 soldiers. Of course, the number would have already increased since some of the reinforcements had already arrived.
