Sir Ivanhoe of Smylie charged out alone holding the [Golden Apple]. The arcane missiles that should have followed the arrow volley all redirected toward Sir Ivanhoe's direction.
Thanks to Sir Ivanhoe's brave and fearless sacrifice, we gained not just breathing room, but the Black Eagle rcenary Group's formation was torn open by Sir Ivanhoe. Due to the taunt effect, the Black Eagle rcenary Group's adventurers would unconsciously follow him, thus opening a path forward.
"Go!"
Baron Trafalgar made the decisive call, having Sigrdrífa mount up with Lily. Not knowing how long Sir Ivanhoe could hold out, if we missed this opportunity, there wouldn't be a second chance.
Although I understood that Sir Ivanhoe could revive after death as an adventurer, I still couldn't help but worry about his sacrifice.
The Black Eagle rcenary Group's adaptability was extrely fast. The other adventurers in the encirclent network might have learned about the changes ahead through private ssages. Since that was the case, there was no need to foolishly maintain the encirclent, so large numbers of adventurers abandoned the now-aningless formation and directly pursued from behind. Even though Sir Ivanhoe attracted many skilled riders, the Black Eagle rcenary Group still had plenty of people.
We finally broke through the encirclent, but the pursuing adventurers from behind continued to bite at our heels. Baron Trafalgar's legendary steed had sufficient endurance, but carrying Sigrdrífa and Lily made it difficult to increase speed and shake off the pursuers.
Holding Carol Cat made it inconvenient for to use chain attacks... There's no choice...!
I lowered my center of gravity slightly, freeing my palm to briefly touch the ground.
"[Ground Bind]!"
"?!"
Chains grew like wild grass beneath the adventurers' feet, firmly binding the galloping hooves. The caught-off-guard adventurers were all thrown from their horses.
"This isn't normal chain usage anymore..."
Sigrdrífa even added a comnt.
Unfortunately, the good tis didn't last long. The Black Eagle rcenary Group definitely had more than just the pursuers behind us—another group of adventurers appeared ahead.
The Black Eagle rcenary Group's symbol, like the organization's na, was a displayed black eagle. With that marking, you could tell they were Black Eagle rcenary Group mbers at a glance.
However, at the sa ti, another team of adventurers appeared on the flank, their symbol being...
A maid's... headband...?
I think I've seen that sowhere before?
"Anna-chan~"
"Eh..."
The leading adventurer was none other than Hohenhiem. Co to think of it, it's been a while since I last saw him.
"Anna-chan, looks like we arrived just in ti."
Hohenhiem pushed up his glasses. Seeing familiar people co to our aid, I couldn't help but feel warmth in my heart.
[Anastasia's affection toward all mbers of "Anna's Support Group" 1]
"The affection ca back?"
"Speaking of which, why did Anna-chan lower our affection in the first place?"
My originally moved feelings instantly vanished when I thought of that reason.
"Hmph... I know what doujins are now. Perverts."
"Wha—"
[Morale -100%]
"Everyone! All petrified?"
Morale... I rember it's a value used to boost team attributes during group combat. Positive numbers provide attribute bonuses; negative numbers do the opposite.
To have it all deducted at once is too...
"Wait, why was only 1 point of affection deducted?"
Hohenhiem suddenly realized sothing was off.
"Is that strange?"
"How should I put it... if it went into negative values, there would be debuffs..."
"Because I don't dislike you to that extent..."
Affection evaluation is asured according to my subjective feelings. Although I can't accurately asure it with numbers, the ga system's judgnt should be correct.
Despite this being a very ordinary and straightforward answer, everyone in Anna's Support Group miraculously experienced a final burst of energy after hearing it.
[Morale 100%]
So even shed tears of excitent on the spot.
"Anna-chan... truly a little angel...!"
"It's ti to quit... Ever since joining Anna's Support Group, the old man at the convenience store downstairs keeps asking what I need so many energy drinks for..."
I don't quite understand what's going on, but fortunately the morale seems to have recovered.
"Anna's Support Group... how pitifully the once-glorious [Golden Dawn] has fallen."
The Black Eagle rcenary Group surrounded us, with a leading adventurer speaking sympathetically. His equipnt was exceptionally fine, and he seed sowhat famous. Hohenhiem pushed up his glasses and imdiately recognized his identity.
"It's you, Grumman."
"The current Anna's Support Group is no match for us, Hohenhiem, you understand that. According to my knowledge, eighty percent of your team mbers are in prison, and you're the only free officer left. Even your leader is sitting in jail in the Papal States. Do you really think you can contend with our Black Eagle rcenary Group like this?"
"Correction: 76.18% of mbers are in prison, quite a few have gotten out."
"Can't you round numbers, you inflexible fool... We take people's money and help them solve problems, but we're not savages who only know fighting and killing. As long as you hand over Amaryllis, we guarantee we absolutely won't harm Anastasia."
Faced with the Black Eagle rcenary Group adventurer Grumman's proposal, Hohenhiem continued pretentiously pushing his glasses.
He suddenly changed topics.
"Speaking of which, did you all enjoy the recent Qixi Festival treasure box opening event?"
"Of course. Your Anna's Support Group has the highest rate of singles; no female players are willing to get close to you. You must be quite envious of us, right?"
"I'll tell you a secret, Grumman." Hohenhiem said seriously, "Over eighty percent of our Anna's Support Group mbers... are into married won, and we love hitting on other people's wives! After this war ends, your girlfriends will never have peace!"
"Huh?"
[Morale -20%]
"Their morale dropped! Attack!"
"How despicable! Everyone maintain morale!"
I'm grateful that Hohenhiem and the others held off the Black Eagle rcenary Group, but can Anna's Support Group, which bears my na, really salvage its reputation...
