Chapter 412 – Ambush and counter-ambush

Aisley clasped her hands against her forehead.

When she entered, she had hidden two summoning scrolls outside. Now, under her summons, Xianti and a large turtle appeared from outside.

The two monster shadows took their positions and began to open the door.

In fact, the situation when entering and leaving was different. It was much easier to leave now than it was to enter, and there were more cost-effective ways to open the door.

However, the summoning scrolls had been left behind, and it would be a waste not to use them. Aisley could also "communicate mentally" with the summoned monsters, just like when she used Xianti to steal the questions during the final selection. At this moment, Xianti seemed to be cooperating with the large turtle, but in reality, it was flying high in the sky, its eyes turning rapidly to investigate the situation outside.

Richard whispered, "If there are people waiting outside, isn't this the same as telling them that we're coming out and to be prepared?"

Memphis responded, "Good question. Now, please tell us a way to get out without opening this door."

Richard blinked and said, "Oh, I forgot that we still need to open the door."

The door was opening.

Mas hung his backpack in front of him so that he could quickly set up a formation after rushing out.

In a battle, a timely defensive formation could provide great protection to teammates, turning a chaotic battle into a positional one.

Memphis turned to Mas and said, "You'll be in charge of controlling the formation, and I'll be the one to set it up."

Mas asked in confusion, "But wouldn't it be more efficient if two people set it up together?"

"It's the same."

Mas paused for a moment, finally understanding the meaning of the words, and nodded, "Okay, I understand."

In this teammate who was also a formation master, Mas could always sense the same feeling as his former formation teacher, which meant that the other party's true strength was much higher than what had been shown before.

However, in this uncertain situation, only a fool would blame his teammate for saving his strength before.

Wentura and Muri stood in the front row, with Bart and Philomena on either side behind them.

Behind them were Blanch and Alfred.

Then came Mas, Memphis, and Richard.

"Don't be so nervous, at least don't show it on your face..." Karun was speaking when he suddenly remembered the skull mask in his backpack. It was a gift that the captain had asked Vani to prepare for him when he went to the final selection. He had forgotten about it, but when he was setting up the magic stone for the formation earlier, he found it embedded in the inner layer of the backpack. It was obviously a traditional keepsake that Alfred had preserved for him.

If he had it, then the others must have it in their backpacks as well.

"Put on the mask to hide your expression. After we go out, don't think about fighting. Try to act as natural as possible. If someone is really planning to ambush us, then we can also counter-ambush them."

"Yes, captain!"

Everyone took out the masks from their backpacks and put them on.

Soon, with the opening of the door, a group of people wearing white skull masks walked out from inside.

Memphis and Mas each lit a candle and led everyone through this section of the square. If there were any accidents, it would happen after passing through this area.

Karun reached out to Aisley, and she extended her hand, their fingers tightly interlocking.

With the captain holding her hand, Aisley's heart suddenly started beating rapidly.

Karun reminded her, "Stabilize your emotions."

"Yes, captain," Aisley took a deep breath and silently began to summon the Storm Wolf - Mombas!

Although Aisley's parents had prepared a lot of totems of monsters for their daughter, there was one that had real power, and that was Mombas.

However, summoning this monster was not only costly, but it also had a bad temper and a certain probability of turning against its summoner.

Because Aisley's father had personally performed a sterilization operation on Mombas.

So for a long time, Karun had known that Aisley had a trump card in her hands, but he had never let her use it.

Aisley felt her power being rapidly absorbed by the wolf totem on her wrist. In the past, she should have been struggling in pain on the ground, but now she felt relaxed because the captain's power was quickly entering to help her bear nearly eighty percent of the consumption.

This made the cost of summoning Mombas, small compared to summoning Xianti.

Soon, a fierce aura began to rise, as if Mombas had sensed Aisley and its killing intent was converging towards her.

It didn't want to kill its summoner as soon as it appeared, but it was more of a retaliation and mockery. If the conditions were not negotiated, Aisley's parents would not dare to tattoo it on their daughter.

But Karun didn't like this kind of "rebellion."

However, before Karun could release his will, something else responded earlier than him.

"Hiss!"

Qianmei's consciousness rose and issued the most direct warning to Mombas.

Mombas's consciousness suddenly wilted. It was difficult to distinguish who was stronger and weaker in terms of specific strength when it came to consciousness, but based on the soul's breath and the fierce aura, Qianmei was not afraid of anyone.

Aisley sensed the appearance of a strange aura in the captain's body, like a soul body, but the captain had not formed a contract in the world inside the door, right?But this is just a small doubt, she wouldn't really find it strange if there was something strange in the captain's body.

"Cough..."

Muri, who walked out first, coughed, indicating that there was a situation.

The expressions under everyone's masks were all excited.

Karun also smiled. Neo had once taught him a team-leading experience while driving. He said he was raising this team like raising a hunting dog, so he couldn't just provide it with food, drink, and shelter, but also had to walk it and give it a chance to expend its excess energy.

Now was the chance for everyone to expend their energy.

After everyone continued to walk a distance outside, four huge moon wheels suddenly appeared on the ground.

More than twenty figures walked out from the moon wheels, all covered in a layer of moonlight, like armor blessed by the moon.

The next moment, the four huge moon wheels all smashed towards Karun's team. In this process, the originally three-dimensional moon wheels began to flatten. From a distance, it looked like four sharp yellow light blades cutting towards the 11 people in the central area.

This was a very clever ambush. The moon wheels first helped to hide the breath of these people, and after they appeared, they were blessed, and after flying out, they directly turned into the first round of attacks.

If they were really unprepared, just with these four moon wheels, it would be enough to cut the attacked team into a pile of limbs and debris.

The four people in the front immediately switched, each taking a position and actively rushing towards the moon wheels.

The round shield in Muri's hand released a black light, and with a "clang," he blocked the moon wheel. With a flick of his short knife, the moon wheel changed direction and plunged into the ground, causing an explosion.

The giant form of Ventula directly clapped the moon wheel with both hands. His body was pushed back a distance by the impact, and he let out a low roar, flinging the moon wheel towards Bart.

Bart's sword blocked the moon wheel in front of him, and bone spurs grew from his arm to drill into it. Then, with a force from his waist, he flung his moon wheel towards Ventula.

The two moon wheels collided and exploded.

Philomena appeared on the side of the moon wheel, and with a light pat of her palm, she flipped the moon wheel. Then, as she retreated, she lightly kicked it, reversing its direction and flying it back.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

The three moon priest officials who were still blessed by the moon god were directly cut in half at the waist. They were originally charging forward, but after being cut, their lower bodies ran ahead due to inertia.

After landing, Philomena flipped her wrist, and a dagger appeared in her hand, as if she was about to charge forward.

"Come back!"

Karun's voice was not loud, but everyone was smart, so excuses like "I didn't notice" and "I didn't hear" wouldn't work.

Philomena could only stop her movement, quickly retreat, and, together with Muri and the others, guard the central area in different directions.

"Roar!"

The Storm Wolf, Monbas, appeared in the sky. It was a giant wolf that was entirely gray and white. When it roared, four fierce hurricanes appeared, pushing towards the four directions, containing blades of wind within.

At that moment, all the moon priest officials who had planned to launch the first round of close combat assault were all enveloped by the hurricanes, and blood mist burst out in clumps.

"Control," Memphis reminded.

"Ah, here!"

Mas didn't expect Memphis's formation to be set up so quickly. The first one set up was the mental bridge formation, and Mas immediately used it to "connect" everyone in the team, making it easier for the captain to issue orders.

As soon as he connected the mental bridge, he heard Memphis urging him:

"Control."

Huh? The second one is set up too?

The second formation was the reconnaissance formation, which could conduct long-range perception outside, mark and determine the position of the attackers in advance, and predict the attackers' next round of attacks.

Mas immediately deployed this formation. In fact, formations were sometimes like knitting. The details of the stitches could only be clearly perceived when they were put into operation. At this moment, what Mas perceived was precision and precision.

This made Mas, who always carried a bit of elegant and introverted temperament, couldn't help but curse in his heart:

"Darn it! Is the captain the department head specially recruited from the Special Formation Department!"

When the second formation was set up, Mas immediately started to connect the third formation.

"Kendos's six-fold defense formation!"

Kendos was a milestone figure in the Order of the God Formation System. Many formations he designed and created were compulsory courses for formation masters of the Order of the God throughout history.

Normally, Mas liked to set up Kendos's three-fold defense formation, and the six-fold defense formation was no longer just for defense. Overdoing the defense would result in a massacre within a specific range.

Mas was somewhat struggling to operate this formation, but fortunately, Memphis stood up and helped him run it.

"Can I ask you for advice in the future?" Mas asked.

Memphis nodded.

Above, after Monbas released the hurricane, it condensed into a mist and rapidly spread outward. Because Karun's team had the reconnaissance formation, they didn't have to worry about being obscured from perception.

"Alfred!"

Karun lifted the sword of Achilles and broke away from the defense formation to make a sudden advance to the east.

"Yes, young master."

Alfred followed closely behind Karun.Fermina noticed this scene, wrinkled her nose, and felt that she could take the place of the man in a suit and join Karun in the attack instead of staying here to protect the middle circle.

But at this moment, she was clear that refusing Karun's arrangement would have the same serious consequences as when she refused Ventula's snacks.

The power of order in Karun's body burst out, giving him extremely fast speed. After the battle with the captain under the watchtower, Karun had a new understanding of his ordered combat style.

At this moment, when Karun appeared in front of a moon priest, Alfred's demon eye was activated first, delaying the opponent's thoughts. By the time the opponent regained consciousness, Achilles' sword had already cut off his head.

This was a very boring way of killing. The opponent was already in the fog of the battlefield, and now had to endure mental shock, followed by swift speed and power to harvest. But Karun never felt that taking the enemy's life in this way would be boring.

The Thousand Charms flew out on their own. For every person Karun killed, it quickly devoured the opponent's soul and drank a mouthful of the purest blood, making the soul tremble with comfort.

The souls and blood of the outside world were much fresher and more delicious than those inside the gate!

After killing seven people in a row, Karun felt that the enemies in this direction had been cleared out. Next, he could change direction and take a detour.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, a crack appeared beside Karun, and Neilman walked out from inside, smashing the magic wand directly at Karun.

Alfred snapped his fingers, and a mental storm whistled towards Neilman, but Neilman's magic wand formed a barrier, blocking the mental storm.

This was a sneak attack in a sneak attack, and the timing and positioning of the opponent's appearance were too good.

The armor of the sea god covered his whole body, and Karun took this blow head-on, his body being driven into the ground.

But when Neilman was about to smash Karun's head, a series of ordered chains appeared in front of Karun, wrapping him up. The magic wand struck the chains, bursting out a terrifying shock wave that instantly shattered Karun's chains.

But as the magic wand continued to fall, a pair of black wings appeared on Karun's back, and his body dodged the blow while in mid-air, and then turned around forcefully. Achilles' sword swept past.

"Bang!"

A phantom appeared in front of Neilman, neutralizing Karun's strike.

Alfred appeared behind Neilman, covering one eye with his left hand, and said:

"You're trapped."

Neilman's gaze became confused, and her body trembled.

Karun's second strike came down, but a sacred object on the woman's body automatically triggered, forming a guard that blocked Karun's second strike.

Karun was not too disappointed by this. Sometimes, fighting and brawling were actually quite similar, one was fighting with national power, and the other was fighting with family background.

Alfred was about to say the second sentence, but a yellow light appeared in front of his chest. The dazzling beam of light emitted from the back of Neilman's magic wand pierced Alfred's body.

However, the pierced Alfred began to twist and dissipate, and the real Alfred appeared on the other side, crossing his hands:

"Illusion!"

Painful expression appeared on Neilman's face again.

But she immediately crushed a gem on the magic wand, and a terrifying purifying force swept out. Using this as a cover, she attempted to retreat back into the crack.

The Thousand Charms let out a roar and took the initiative to attack, tearing open a purification opening for Karun despite the pain of being burned.

This thing was really fierce. When it encountered a situation, it really dared to act.

Karun did not disappoint the opportunity created for him by the Thousand Charms, but he hesitated for a very short time. He could throw Achilles' sword in, which should be able to nail the opponent directly, but he would also lose the sword in a short time.

So, Karun condensed a thunderball enveloped in the power of order in his palm and threw it into the not completely closed crack.

"Boom!"

At this time, a chant came from above:

"Radiance of the Moon - Purify!"

The battlefield fog created by the Storm Wolf began to dissipate rapidly, which meant that the good environment for a surprise attack had been lost. Karun did not linger in the battle and retreated without hesitation, returning to the formation with Alfred.

On the ground, there were more than twenty bodies, all in a miserable state, and only a few were intact.

In front, a man with a copper mask on his face was floating there.

Beside him, a crack appeared, and Neilman fell out from inside, caught by him. At this time, Neilman was covered in blood, but more seriously damaged than her physical injuries was her soul.

"Order Thunder" was something Karun had learned a long time ago. Originally, its effect was quite mediocre, but in the inner world, Karun was inspired by the seal of the Order Throne and improved this spell.

If the normal power of this thunder was 1, then Karun compressed it to 10.

This was not a self-created spell, because in the traditional sense, spells were more like a pure version, suitable for ordinary priests to learn. If you had extraordinary abilities, you could completely modify it to suit yourself.

Since Neilman had lost her combat ability, Sains did not waste his strength on treating her. Instead, he turned his palm, and a black crescent moon appeared from his palm and entered Neilman's body. Soon, Neilman's body and soul were burning, and her essence entered the black crescent moon.Sains's other hand clutched the wand that Nielman had dropped, the spot where the gem had been crushed was now filled with a black crescent.

Beside him, Anpang's eyelids trembled at the sight; Nielman, who had just been sacrificed, was his peer.

Sains looked calmly towards Karun and the others within the formation ahead and spoke:

"If you hand over the crystal you took from the tomb now, I will spare your lives. Not only will we keep each other's secrets, but I will also provide you with a satisfactory reward. Otherwise, don't blame us..."

As he spoke, Sains touched his forehead,

and chuckled:

"Ha, even I think what I'm saying sounds idiotic."
