One-Eyed Monster

Igor and Kadi didn’t relax even a bit.

Behind them were people they needed to protect, the Spirit Defense had already formed, covering a large area.

Igor quickly determined the enemy’s position through the flow of Energy.

However, after several probing attacks with Sword Qi, the enemy seemed to have become smarter and stopped taking the initiative to attack.

In this way, the energy within the entire space returned to its original state, looking extremely serene.

But the enemy’s Spirit aura was still present, indicating they were still hiding somewhere.

Igor and Kadi realized that the opponent seemed to be prepared for a war of attrition, with such long silence clearly showing they weren’t planning to initiate another attack.

As the opponent didn’t launch an active attack, Igor had no way to determine the Energy Fluctuations’ location through observation, making them quite passive.

The tactic of provocation wouldn’t work because this opponent was different from past ones.

Igor and Kadi could only wait, completely a matter of whose patience was greater.

Igor looked at everything, suddenly thinking whether this opponent was also waiting for some reinforcement?

After all, analyzing the current situation showed the opponent was at a disadvantage in a war of attrition.

Considering Igor and his companions had support from all of Bistal, with the backing of Lord Popovich, the whole of Bistal would stand by their side. Clearly, the opponent couldn’t be unaware of this.

Since Bern was a Puppet for them here, these enemies should be well aware of what Bistal was like.

So it wasn’t an attrition battle but a wait for reinforcements.

Just as Igor hesitated for a moment, several horses galloped towards them across the night from the opposite side of the inn.

Are they reinforcements? Igor gripped his sword tightly, prepared to attack at any moment.

In the dark, it was unclear who was coming, but the sound of hooves suggested they were in quite a hurry...

As the group approached, Igor realized he was overthinking, because the arriving knights were League Guards they had met before.

The one who came was that fellow named Coban Kangen, as Lord Popovich had said, this guy was the vice-captain of the League Guards.

This guy, along with two or three subordinates, finally arrived late. It could be said that Popovich’s skill in driving a carriage was quite remarkable, as he had managed to leave the mounted League Guard far behind...

"Where’s Lord Popovich?" Seeing Igor and Kadi standing in front of the inn, ready for anything, the vice-captain apparently associated Lord Popovich’s safety with another idea. He suspected that the two unfamiliar youths might’ve kidnapped the people inside the inn!

"Inside the inn!" Kadi pointed backward with his thumb, informing the vice-captain that everyone was inside, which indeed seemed like a hostage situation!

"What have you done to Lord Popovich!?"

"What do you mean..." Kadi was about to engage in debate with this vice-captain when Igor pushed him aside, then sent out a streak of Sword Qi.

Coban Kangen hadn’t figured out what was happening yet, but he felt a strong collision of Spirit Power in front of him.

This collision immediately alerted Coban and his men, making them dismount, pick up their weapons, and stand back-to-back together.

"What’s going on!" Coban Kangen clearly knew that Igor’s Sword Qi saved him and his men!

"There’s an intruder here, hidden, invisible. You need to be cautious." Igor spoke each word carefully, observing closely, as the Energy Wave came very suddenly.

"Uh..." Only now did Coban Kangen feel the abnormal Spirit Power.

"You better go into the inn too, stand opposite us, our defense circle isn’t that big!" At this moment, Kadi got up from the ground; Igor’s push earlier was rather forceful.

Coban Kangen and his men did not boast, quickly running behind Igor and the others.

"The Spirit Attack just now was two-directional!" Igor said to Kadi, "Their attacks seem to be changing!"

"Hmm?" Kadi nodded, half-understanding.

Kadi was never as meticulous as Igor in this regard; he would simply defend regardless of how the opponent attacked.

Igor paid more attention to the opponent’s forms and means of attack.

"Can’t see those guys?" Coban Kangen immediately blended in with Igor and the others, seemingly someone who was socially adept, regardless of whether the others were willing or not, he’d strike up conversation as though very familiar with them.

"Can’t see!" Kadi replied to Coban intermittently.

"Have you thought of a way to force them out?" Coban asked again.

Igor was engrossed in observing the surrounding Energy Fluctuations, not noticing what Coban was saying.

Kadi shrugged at Coban, "If you have a way, feel free to share!"

"Use Group Attack Skills!" Coban continued.

Igor and Kadi didn’t have any special group attack techniques, and such methods often consumed too much physical and Spirit Power, so they didn’t attempt them.

"We’re not proficient!" Kadi promptly rejected Coban’s suggestion.

"I am proficient!" Coban suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Kadi stared blankly at Coban.

"Letting the opponent keep hiding isn’t a solution; we must force them out!" Coban continued to explain his viewpoint.

"Vice-captain Coban has the capability to force them out!" Coban’s two attendants echoed. Under Chinese regulation, and...

This time Igor indeed heard their conversation and asked, "If you have a way, we can try it."

"Coban has the capability because he belongs to the Kangen Family, and carries the Kangen Family’s blood."

The Kangen Family, Igor seemed to have some impression, but couldn’t recall where he’d heard of it.

"Let’s give it a try then!" Coban Kangen said to Igor.

"Alright, I’ll give you a few positions later, you use your group attack method to force them out!" Igor said, feeling confident in this cooperation.

Kadi, somewhat skeptical on the side, awaited to see what kind of method this Coban fellow had.

"Alright, I need to concentrate Spirit Power, group attack skills take a bit of time. Prepare yourselves, my men will cover me, don’t worry about me!"

Thus, the newly joined Coban Kangen also became a main force in confronting the invisible enemy, and it was no longer Igor and Kadi’s battlefield alone.

As for what method Coban would use to force out the enemy, Igor and Kadi were very curious...
