Chapter 671: Chapter 671

"You better worry about yourself." The gray sparrow quickened its hand movements, each thrust of the tiny dagger faster than the last.

Suddenly, the greatsword-wielding man’s wrist went numb, the poison in his right hand had spread, making him accidentally drop it. He held onto the blade with his left hand, but it left his center guard wide open.

The Gray Sparrow seized this opportunity, moving his dagger so quick it morphed into countless shadows, akin to a flurry of butterflies. The adversary’s body quickly oozed blood from seemingly small wounds, but in reality, the damage was far more severe than it appeared.

Dou Qi’s piercing energy had stabbed into the man’s body, causing his organs to torn apart.

The big sword man’s face turned pale, using all his strength, he threw his weapon towards Du You. Unfortunately, because the distance was too great, Du You had plenty of time to react.

All Du You had to do was take two steps to the side to avoid the greatsword. His opponent’s final struggle failed. As the greatsword was flung, the Gray Sparrow also unleashed his final blow.

The Dou Qi on his dagger expanded, transforming his dagger into a long blade filled with a gray aura. After a single slash, the big sword man’s head flew off, leaving no chance for him to be saved.

"Finally, it’s over. Speed it up," Du You turned around, attacking the murlocs around him furiously. Time was truly of the essence now, otherwise the spoils would all be taken by others.

Du You was frustrated, he finally faced two tier-four opponents, yet one of them simply gave him a green sphere, and the other provided nothing. Since Gray Sparrow was the one who dealt the killing blow, there was nothing he could do. The most he could gain from this was probably an improvement in his mission rewards. His losses were significant.

As Du You joined the battlefield, even though there were numerous medication-fueled Murlocs, the battle progressed rapidly.

Gray Sparrow initially watched from the side. No one dared to make requests from someone who had displayed tier-four abilities.

However, after a while, Gray Sparrow actually joined the fray. Even though he was just a melee fighter, the gap in levels was too large. His killing speed was surprisingly faster than Du You’s, the spellcaster.

"Hey, you’re also joining in? Isn’t this fight too low-level for someone of your strength?" At first, things might have been hidden, but now there was no need. With two tier-four opponents dealt with, this was a major win.

Gray Sparrow rolled his eyes but did not act too arrogant. Du You’s prowess had earned his respect. Having yet to reach tier-four, his abilities were already surpassing those at tier-three.

If Dun You reached tier-four, he would be almost revered. Moreover, he was still young and had loads of time to grow. Gray Sparrow also had to treat such people properly.

"The large movement from our previous battle has caught the attention of the Kingdom of Hanhai. Additionally, the city lord has fought with the elites from the Kingdom of Hanhai. We must leave this area immediately, they’ve surely discovered what’s going on here." Upon hearing this, everything made sense to Du You.

This was a clash between two countries, not some simple skirmish. Just because they’ve won here doesn’t mean they can be complacent. The enemy’s strength is far greater than what is seen here.

The goal now is to end this quickly, then head back home. Du You sped up his attacks and relentlessly let loose, not caring for the energy he was consuming. The battle concluded when the magic power of the two sisters was about to run out.

As for the others, they were already nearly drained, fighting solely based on their physical strength.

Once the battle ended, Du You surveyed the scene; more than a hundred had come to battle but now only around thirty remained alive. It was a miracle these survivors remained, some were even disabled.

It was uncertain whether they would recover, and if they could, it would take a long time.

Now it was clear to Du You why the nobles didn’t fight. Only meritorious nobles, who were originally warriors, came; they had known in advance how dangerous this mission would be.

Unfortunately, Du You had no idea who plotted behind the scenes to send him here, he only knew that someone was out to get him.

Everyone hurriedly boarded a ship without cleaning the battlefield. Only Gray Sparrow rushed to the back of the island and captured the researchers. "Keep an eye on these people, don’t let them die."

Du You looked over, all of the captured researchers looked as afraid as quails, they didn’t even have the courage to die.

The ship quickly submerged and vanished, leaving behind an island emptied by slaughter. Shortly after they left, the people from the Kingdom of Hanhai arrived and began their investigation.

Unfortunately, the adversaries had already gone underwater, it was impossible to track them. The Kingdom of Hanhai could only swallow their pride. Thıs content belongs to 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝

"Good, good. Your performance greatly exceeded my expectations. When we go back, I will credit you for the job."

Du You rolled his eyes: "Reward me? It’s good enough that I survived, I don’t know who was trying to deal with me".

"In due time, you will find out, but I can’t tell you right now. Regardless, you deserve praise for this mission. We miscalculated, we didn’t know they could make the third-tier Murlocs advance. Without your assistance, even I would have died there. And this crucial intel wouldn’t have been intercepted, so your contribution is as great as mine."

Du You waved his hands hurriedly: "Don’t kid yourself, you’re an old hand at tier-four, without you we would have all died during this mission."

No matter what was said, Gray Sparrow’s strength greatly surpassed his own, that was certain. What the reward would be depended on the thoughts of the nobles, for now, Du You wouldn’t take advantage of the situation verbally.

"The kid’s careful, relax. Even if some people aren’t satisfied this time, they must respect the rules. As a count, you are among the higher-ranking nobles in the aristocracy, and you have your special privileges."

Du You rolled his eyes. He had special privileges? He didn’t feel any advantages.

"Alright, enough of this. Speed up, we aren’t safe yet. The people from the Kingdom of Hanhai will definitely want to chase us. We must retreat as soon as possible to be safe. What’s left is the city lord’s affair, it has nothing to do with us."

Du You nodded, then sat down to quiet his heart. He wanted to take a moment to assess his gains from this mission. With a look of meditating, he began to open each sphere one by one.
