Chapter 2015 - 1829: Beware of Sneak Attacks
Seeing someone suddenly get killed, the two men carrying the stretcher immediately put Song Yun on the ground, vigilantly looking around into the darkness, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Song Yun glanced at Gude, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Gude caught Song Yun’s gaze, glared back harshly, and said in a deep voice: "You said there was an ambush, but it was just luck, a lucky guess, don’t gloat about it."
Song Yun wasn’t gloating, he just couldn’t stand Gude risking lives over some bravado.
Gude snorted coldly, retracting his gaze from Song Yun.
At this moment, he was feeling dejected because Song Yun was right about the ambush, outshining him once again, making him feel unbalanced.
Moreover, facing the Dark Holy See people now, he had no strategy to deal with them.
Even though he was not weak, he was an upper-class Earl, but his combat experience was not rich, and before the fight even started, his heart was pounding, and he lost his fighting spirit.
Seeing Gude’s conflicted expression, Song Yun frowned slightly.
He then looked at the others, all of whom had grave and tense expressions, feeling lost and helpless.
Song Yun couldn’t help but shake his head silently. Although these people were not weak, with the lowest being lower-class Earls, clearly, their experience was not plentiful.
The ones dispatched by the Dark Holy See and the Desla Family were surely elites.
With Nie Wushuang’s group encountering these two forces, they were bound for a miserable defeat.
However, since the Dark Holy See lost some people in the tunnel ahead, and others were injured, it wasn’t impossible to fight now.
"Gude, why not show off a bit, Wushuang and Emily are watching you."
Song Yun taunted Gude.
At this moment, taunting Gude was more effective than encouraging him.
Sure enough, Gude looked back at Nie Wushuang and Emily, thinking he couldn’t lose face in front of the two beauties, immediately shouting into the darkness ahead: "Dark Holy See folks, are you only brave enough to hide? Come out and fight me if you dare."
"A bunch of little guys thinking a squirrel could fool us, too naive."
A mocking voice came from the darkness, its tone full of disdain.
It was clear the squirrel’s trick had long been seen through by the other side.
Six figures emerged from the shadows. Wolf Castle’s side shone their flashlights over, seeing clearly the appearances of these six people.
These six people were all dressed in black suits, which were stained with dried blood, now a dark red.
There were some injuries on their faces, likely left from the prior battle with fierce birds.
However, these injuries did not make them look wretched but instead added a few shades of ferocity to them.
The leader among them was not tall, slightly hunched back, with a sinister smile on his face, hands in his trouser pockets, as he scanned over Gude and the others.
When he saw Nie Wushuang and Emily, his eyes lit up, filled with strong desire, licking his lips, he said: "I never thought I’d meet Nie Wushuang and Emily here. Your beauty is quite famous, I’ve long admired it. It seems today, I get to enjoy."
Hearing such shameless words, Gude shouted angrily: "Lu Ke, how dare you spout madness, if you dare lay a hand on Wushuang and Emily, no one will save you."
Even though Gude acted fierce, Song Yun clearly saw a hint of fear in his eyes.
It seems the man named Lu Ke was not that simple.
"Hahaha..."
Facing Gude’s threat, Lu Ke laughed disdainfully, saying: "Yes, if I touch Nie Wushuang and Emily, Wolf Castle and Yineye surely won’t spare me. But, what if no one knows?"
A murderous look flashed in Lu Ke’s eyes, his face suddenly turning grim, saying: "I will first kill all of you, then toy with Nie Wushuang and Emily, and kill them afterward, who would know it was us?"
Nie Wushuang’s face turned angry, shouting: "Lu Ke, don’t even think about it, we won’t let you succeed!"
Lu Ke glanced at Gude and others, mocking: "Just relying on you bunch? Truly a group of ignorant youngsters. Werewolves have night vision capabilities, though it’s energy-consuming, but you roaming in the dark didn’t keep night vision on. If one of you enabled night vision earlier, we wouldn’t have so easily killed one of you first."
Being told this, Gude and others looked embarrassed.
Immediately, their eyes revealed a greenish glow, seemingly able to pierce through the darkness.
"Is this the werewolf’s night vision ability?"
Song Yun then realized, werewolves had night vision abilities, even if it was energy-draining, but with a total of eight werewolves rotating to enable it, there was no worry of sneak attacks.
Unfortunately, they were completely inexperienced and no one thought of this.
The person just now undoubtedly died in vain.
Song Yun finally understood why the Dark Holy See people didn’t take Gude’s group seriously, because they were not on the same level.
If the Dark Holy See, Wolf Castle, Desla Family sent out three regular army groups.
Then the group Nie Wushuang brought in was a motley crew.
And it seemed like the man named Lu Ke was not an ordinary character.
Suddenly, Gude spoke: "Lu Ke, let’s go our separate ways, pretend we never crossed paths, how about that?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Immediately, the Dark Holy See side roared with laughter.
Nie Wushuang and Emily turned livid with anger.
Someone on their side had been killed, yet Gude suggested pretending they never met, this was truly humiliating.
