Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing that his team mbers had realized the seriousness of the matter, Cullen nodded and continued, “If we don’t lure the Magical Beasts over now, we’ll die in the end. But do you think that those two people can survive, with just one Knight and one Alchemist?”
When Cullen said this, his eyes were filled with disdain.
His team mbers also revealed a look of realization and understood what Cullen wanted to say. Even with their strength, they were utterly unable to withstand the attacks of these Explosive Wolves.
Even if the wolves could not kill them imdiately, they could still fight them off bit by bit.
They lacked offensive ans and could not do anything to the enemy. The enemy would attack them continuously, and in the end, they would be exhausted to death.
The Explosive Wolf pack, which even they could not defeat, was not sothing that Moss and Alan could withstand.
The Knight class is the weakest offensive class, while an Alchemist had almost no offensive ans on its own. Not only did they not have enough attacking power, but their defense was also even lower than Cullen’s team.
Now that the wolf pack had noticed Moss and Alan, they might even die before Cullen’s team did.
Cullen voiced out their innermost thoughts, “Since that’s the case, why don’t we let them contribute a little to us? This is the school’s first post-reform test. They want to see good results. Who else has a better chance of getting the best results than the team with as a Swordmaster?
“Even if they find out that our actions are out of line, as long as it’s not too obvious, the teachers will turn a blind eye.
“Even if we were discovered, we do not need to be afraid. We’ll say that Moss and Alan wanted to help us fight against the Explosive Wolves so that they could join our team. Unfortunately, their strength wasn’t enough in the end, and it backfired.
“As long as we all insist on this point, who will the teachers believe? , the Swordmaster with an infinitely bright future, or that useless Knight?”
Cullen’s twisted logic instantly widened the eyes of his teammates. His shaless logic made them feel that their actions were not unreasonable. This made their last bit of persistence now turn into ashes.
Cullen imdiately understood that he had already convinced these people by seeing their expressions. The corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile.
What he said was not just a simple lie, but there was indeed a part of the truth behind it. There was even one point that he had not told his teammates.
If the teacher wanted to punish their actions, he could completely turn the tables and let his teammates bear the brunt. He could say that they were the ones who lured the monster to Moss’ side.
After all, there were five of his teammates and only one of him. It was hard to go against the team’s decision.
Even if his teacher did not believe him, the teacher would still let him go because he was a Swordmaster. Just like what he had always said, class was the most important thing in this world.
People with outstanding classes had to enjoy privileges that others did not have.
Seeing that his teammates around him did not seem to have any objections, Cullen sneered and asked again, “Do you understand now?”
This ti, no one objected. Cullen’s teammates answered one after another,
“We understand!”
“Brother Cullen, we’ll listen to you!”
Cullen nodded in satisfaction. After making sure that the people around him were ready, Cullen imdiately ordered.
“Charge!”
The six-man team imdiately ran in the direction of Moss and Alan.
The ones at the front cleared the way, while the wounded at the back guarded against the surrounding wolves.
The wolf pack did not expect Cullen’s move. When Cullen broke out of the encirclent, they were montarily stunned, but then they quickly reacted and chased after the six-man team.
“Awooo!”
The wolf pack let out an angry howl as if they were unhappy with the escape of their prey.
On the other side, Alan, who saw the actions of Cullen and the others, was also shocked.
“What is Cullen trying to do? Why are they coming in our direction?” Alan cried out in surprise.
On the other hand, Moss understood Cullen’s thoughts when he saw him break out of the encirclent.
“Cullen wants to lure the pack of wolves over so that we can be the scapegoats!”
Moss’ words made Alan suck in a breath of cold air. What Cullen had done today is genuinely despicable.
However, now was not the ti to bla Cullen since he had brought the Explosive Wolves to attack aggressively. The best thing for them to do now was quickly think of a way to avoid it.
“Let’s go, Moss. Let’s run into the jungle and escape.”
Alan was about to run in the opposite direction of Cullen and the others. But to his surprise, Moss did not run with him.
“Moss?” Cullen asked in confusion.
Moss shook his head and said, “We can’t escape. Alan, have you forgotten about Cullen’s flying sword?”
Alan’s face imdiately darkened.
Cullen previously used his flying sword to force them to co out and save him. Cullen would use his flying sword to stop them if they decided to escape.
Moss pointed his sword at Cullen and the others and said, “Our only way out is to face them. Trust , Alan, I’m powerful.”
Moss’ words seed to have magic power, instantly reminding Alan of the scene when Moss killed five Explosive Wolves alone. His heart imdiately surged with confidence.
Without a doubt, Moss had already proven his strength. There was no reason for Alan not to trust him.
Alan imdiately stopped running and stood behind Moss. Similarly, he raised his sword in the direction of Cullen.
“I trust you, Moss. Don’t worry. I’ll be your backup!”
With Alan’s loud shout, the vanguard of the pack was already in front of them.
