Hearing the faint roar and the faint sound of explosions coming from behind, the backlighters' retreating steps suddenly stopped.

Everyone looked behind themselves in unison.

There, the elders of the tribe were using their lives to create time for them to escape from the pursuit of the Knights of Judgment.

Sean's expression changed drastically, but he quickly came back to his senses.

Wiping away the tears on his face, he waved his arms and said loudly: "What are you doing standing still? Let's go, let's go! Do you want Cyril and the others' efforts to be in vain?"

Seeing Sean who was losing his temper, no one refuted, turned their heads silently, and continued on the unknown journey.

But looking at their biting lips, their whitened hands, and their slightly trembling shoulders, you know that not only Sean, but also all the backlighters have a flame burning in their hearts.

This revenge must be avenged!

However, before the entire team had moved forward for ten minutes, a scout came to Sean again.

"Xiao, Mr. Sean, traces of mercenaries were found three kilometers ahead!"

"What?"

Not only Sean, but also others were shocked when they heard the scout's report.

"Damn it, this must be a mercenary hired by the Judgment Knights!"

Although Sean was angry, his anger did not overwhelm his reason.

"Those guys are here, needless to say, just to slow down our progress!"

"etc!"

Feileni was a little confused. They and the Knights of Judgment met by chance in the wilderness. Even if the Knights of Judgment used mercenaries to delay their retreat, how could these mercenaries come so fast and actually reach a group of people?

in front of?

Faced with his own doubts, the ranger who was a scout insisted on his own judgment.

What he saw was a group of mercenaries!

Because he saw the figures of the Northland barbarians among that group of people!

"Firenee, now is not the time to pursue this matter. Warriors and rangers, follow me! Others, wait for an opportunity to break through the obstruction of these mercenaries!"

Sean gave the order decisively.

Just now, Grandpa Cyril and the others sacrificed their lives for the future of the Backlighters. Now, it's our turn!

Grandpa Cyril, elders, I will definitely not betray your trust, and I will definitely send everyone to their destination safely!

"Feileni, you know where the crown is, and the rest is up to you!"

After assigning the task, Sean turned his head and said to Feileni.

"I...okay!"

Although Feileni was still a little confused about these mercenaries who suddenly appeared in front of the road, she could only nod her head when she faced Sean's expectant eyes.

…………

"Everyone, hurry up! Time is life!"

"Hurry up, there was a fire on the other side of the mountain just now. It must be the backlighter who has fought with that Knights of Judgment!"

"Ami Tofu, please don't kill anyone, otherwise the mission completion rate will be reduced!"

"For the sake of experience points, everyone, hurry up!"

On this side, a group of players, led by Lu Yu, increased their power and ran towards the place where the fire was flashing.

As soon as I turned around the foot of the mountain, I saw a group of people with backlights running quickly in my direction.

“Finally caught up!”

The players immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, what greeted them were unsheathed swords and spells ready to go.

"This is how the same thing?"

Facing this scene, all the players were a little confused.

Here, looking at the large group of mercenaries that suddenly appeared in front of him, Sean's face showed a look of despair.

There are at least two to three hundred of these mercenaries, and they are well-equipped, and each has the strength of a high-level professional.

"Could it be...that we can only go so far?"

Although there are many extraordinary beings among the backlighters, facing the interception network formed by so many high-level professionals, it will be difficult to break through for a while.

"No... no matter how difficult it is, I will find a way for everyone to break out, even... at the cost of my life!"

Sean's eyes gradually showed the will to die.

"Damn mercenary!"

…………

"No, why are these backlighters looking at us as if we are enemies?"

It was discovered that the target of his mission was not overjoyed when he saw him, but instead showed an expression that was ready to fight to the death. All the players felt that Monk Zhang Er was confused.

"I thought I heard them talking about 'mercenaries' or something..."

In the team, Nanmo Gatlinsky said uncertainly.

Mercenary?

Do these backlighters think of themselves as mercenaries hired by the Knights of Judgment?

Lu Yu's eyes lit up when he heard Namo Gatlinsky talking to himself.

It's very possible!

After all, when Fei Reni left Blackthorn Castle, the second test had not yet started. Barbarians, lycanthropes and kobolds were all optional races that only appeared in the second test. It is normal for these backlighters to have misunderstandings.

When he thought of this, Lu Yu hurriedly walked out of the crowd and shouted loudly to the backlighters who were about to rush towards him:

"Miss Felinene, Miss Felinene!"

Hearing the shouts from the opponent's crowd, Feileni was a little stunned. How did these mercenaries know her name?

Next, the other person's words made her completely relieved.

"Miss Feileni, we are the chosen ones, don't shoot!"

Although she didn't know what "shoot" meant, the words "God's Chosen One" were still fresh in her mind.

It is even firmly engraved in my mind.

She couldn't help it, she was really impressed by the actions of these alien creatures summoned by His Majesty.

Thinking about those days in Blackthorn Castle, they woke me up from my sleep before dawn...

"Sean, Sean! They are the Chosen Ones, summoned by Your Majesty to help us, they are friendly forces!"

Fei Renee shouted loudly towards Sean and others who were ready for a fight to the death.

The Chosen One?

Are they the chosen ones?

But Feileni had said before that the chosen ones summoned by His Majesty were not very powerful, and they were all humans.

What about the lycanthropes and kobolds mixed among these people?

Facing Sean's confused eyes, Feileni stood out from the crowd with doubts, and happened to see Lu Yu among the players.

"Are you...Felix?"

She was still very impressed by this chosen one who persisted in swordsmanship training for a whole afternoon.

"Yes, I am Felix. I am honored that Miss Feilene still remembers my name."

Felix said.

"What's going on with those kobolds and lycanthropes?"

Seeing the long sword pointed at them by Feileni, all the non-human race players were confused.

What does it have to do with us?

"They are the new chosen ones who responded to His Majesty's call, and they are also our companions."

Lu Yu explained.

"Miss Feilene, the Judgment Knights are about to catch up. Leave this place to us. You should retreat to the rear. Our companions are waiting for you."

After listening to Lu Yu's words, Fei Leini also knew that this was not the place to talk, so she nodded decisively and agreed.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'm leaving it to you here!"

After confirming that the guys blocking the road were not mercenaries, but the "Chosen Ones" summoned by His Majesty, the Backlighters breathed a sigh of relief and put away their weapons one after another.

The players also consciously opened a path to allow Feileni and others to pass, and at the same time sent a player to guide them on their retreat route.
