Chapter 199: Chapter 34 Taking Me as the Lord_1

Trust is mutual.
So is vigilance.
Link is guarding against betrayal by Elise and Monroe.
Elise and Monroe are also wary of Link1 s possible betrayal.
The human heart is not immune to temptation.
The human heart is also fickle.
Hence, it is safer to be extra cautious.
Elise did not hastily disperse the protective shield.
Instead, she first took out the control brain for the hawk from her bag to monitor the underground stealth operation area.
She affirmed that Link and his team entered into the underground operation
and didn’t come out.
Only then did Elise use violence to shatter the crumbling shield. Hydration spells from the Water System and a return spell from the Wood System were cast on the unconscious people, easing the impact they had suffered.
Monroe was the first to wake up.
“What’s the situation?”
After opening his eyes and feeling slightly confused, Monroe asked the first question,
Then abruptly changed his expression, “Have you gone mad? In order to save a stranger, you dropped two ‘Death Bells1 on us? Do you feel we haven’t died horribly enough?”
The great weapon is a nickname of the Serene Wizard.
Link has been using it ever since.
Its real name, Death Bell, is meant to be literal.
Ring the bell of death, to send people to die.
“Hehe…”
Elise chuckled awkwardly, “Just got carried away, please forgive me, please forgive.”
While saying this, Elise’s tone changed slightly, showing some indifference, “But it’s not as serious as you say, at most we will be eliminated, it’s not like we’ll really die!”
“You…”
Monroe was instantly enraged.
This was the big competition between the two regions, and elimination wasn’t serious?
He started to speak but suffocated the words back.
Forget it, Elise was just that crazy, and fretting about it was useless.
If she faced a similar situation next time, she’d dare to do it again!
Anything he said would be in vain.
“Let’s go back.”
Monroe chose to ignore Elise, and struggled to his feet, helping his companions one by one.
When everyone regained consciousness, he quickly led them out of the pit.
Link wasn’t the only one skilled in earthworks.
Team Monroe had also dug strong defensive underground operations.
Right at the foot of both hills.
According to the original plan, after both teams flanked left and right, they would restrict the pursuers in the trap area, try to inflict maximum damage, and then trigger the trap.
Before that, they had to shake off engagement and retreat to safe areas on both sides.
Who would have thought, Elise, in a burst of madness, would drop two “Death Bells” from the sky.
Without worrying about the consequences.
Everyone from Team Monroe and Team Elise nearly got wiped out.
Now everyone’s condition was poor, the two teams did not separate, but entered the same operation to rest themselves.
After setting up a guard, Monroe approached Elise and asked directly: “Where are they?”
Elise was holding a small knife, peeling a fruit to eat.
She stuffed a piece into her mouth, chewed as she spoke: “They re hiding underground.”
“It seems they were on guard against us from the start.
Monroe said thoughtfully, his words carrying a deep significance.
“Heh.”
Elise sneered, “As if you and I didn’t guard against him.”
Monroe couldn’t deal with Elise’s inconsistent positions and constant changes.
He originally wanted to discuss some other matters, but he decided not to do
so.
To avoid getting choked up again.
It would infuriate him.
He simply returned to his rest area, lay down, and fell fast asleep.
Having dealt with this wave of pursuers, there should be a relatively long breathers’ time.
The strings of his heart didn’t need to be so tight.
At a hill far away from the basin between the mountains.
The leaders of several first-year apprentice organizations from the North District, who had joined the opposition camp, gathered and looked towards the mountain basin from afar.
After the battle broke out, the Reconnaissance Magic Tools in the high altitude were interfered with by the explosion, flames, and dust, and the images they showed were not very clear.
However, everyone present was not inexperienced, and naturally, they could figure out what had happened.
“They can’t return.”
A slightly effeminate man said indifferently, “I told you that if Monroe dared to stay there, he must have set a trap. Be careful, don’t be reckless, but you wouldn’t listen!”
“Sowhat?”
On the side, a woman exuding chilliness and an icy personality — making people instinctively keep their distance from her — snorted, “Even if more than sixty people are completely annihilated, we can still gather another sixty plus people. I don’t believe that Elise and Monroe innately have infinite reserves, and can keep up with our pace!”
“I agree with the method of continuing to drain them.”
A fair-skinned, slightly chubby man, with eyes that squinted habitually and a friendly smile on his face, echoed: “Elise, this crazy woman, has both strong combat power and destructive potential, and she is quite wealthy. We can t empty her reserves, no matter which one of us faces her, we’re bound to be at a disadvantage.”
“I didn’t say we should go up now!”
The effeminate man, who felt targeted, grumbled unhappily, “I just said, to completely eliminate Elise and Monroe and get rid of so many people, it’s not worthwhile. Those guys who joined the Righteous Faction looked on as we mobilized manpower to besiege Elise and Monroe, can’t you guess what their intentions are? Even if we’re not afraid of losses and eliminate them, in the end what can we get?”
After a pause, the effeminate man glanced at the two people who were subtly uniting against him, emphasizingword byword, “Nothing at all!”
This claim was not sensational;
It had reasons and warranted contemplation.
A tall and burly man, who had been watching the three arguing originally, stepped in to mediate, “Enough, don’t argue. Since we’ve joined the same camp, we should cooperate sincerely, not like the other side, still causing internal conflicts.”
