Chapter 471: Chapter 126 Unmatched and Unequalled_2

Side attacks occur frequently and have a high success rate.

However, the attackers themselves may also suffer heavy casualties, especially if the attacked team is resolute, tenacious in battle, and has strong combat power.

Back attacks happen less frequently, but once they do, they yield significant gains.

Because in this situation, the attacked team either finds traps or strong encirclements ahead and to their sides.

In simple terms, the attacked team gets “dumpling-wrapped.”

Under desperate circumstances, the besieged team with no backup has only one option: break out!

It’s actually easiest to break out from the back.

As long as the one covering the rear is strong enough to form an arrowhead, piercing through the unsettled formation of the attacking team with one strike.

Link couldn’t confidently claim that he could take on a thousand by himself, but he was more than capable of delivering a swift, furious assault that would dominate the attacking team for a short period.

Upon entering the competition area, a timer-like device appeared in Link’s hand, sending a “Freewill” location to the other nineteen teams.

“Freewill” needed to relocate immediately, find a favorable terrain and observe the situation.

There’s no need for Link to do much command, “Freewill” having clear duties and tactics, acted immediately.

As Link moved, he monitored the “timer” in his hand.

He gently pressed a protruding button on the side, with a map showing the initial positions of the other nineteen teams projected into the air.

After taking a quick look, he noted down the initial positions of the other teams, determined his team’s location, and checked the information of the nearest team.

Sure enough, the emblem of that team was the Flame and Metal Trading Company.

After careful consideration, Link decided to go all out from the start, like a storm sweeping away fallen leaves.

Facing competition from many teams and the potential betrayal from Lucia’s Family from within, the situation was complicated, hence he ought to cut the Gordian knot quickly.

Otherwise, the further they drag, the more disadvantageous it would be for their rankings.

“Change direction, 10 o’clock. Reconnaissance team, watch out for aerial Reconnaissance Magic Tools. Jasmine, use the Shielding Device. Everyone, be ready for battle at all times.”

Link issued a series of orders.

“Freewill” promptly executed them in an orderly manner.

The UFO Reconnaissance divided into two, one surveying the ground and the other scanning the sky.

Buck, Ezio, and Linn were the first and second line, and would be the first to engage in the event of a confrontation. They all raised their vigilance to the highest level.

Big guy Mitte and aloof Terry were always on guard for attacks from both sides.

Betty had nothing to do for now, so she was ready to provide support at any time.

Jasmine took out the second ring magic tool for shielding reconnaissance that Link had bought at great cost.

It’s a one-time use, and it will be scrapped after use. It can only last 30 minutes.

This wasn’t about consuming Magic Stones, but about burning them!

“Go, Franda.”

Since they’re prepared to go all out, they should not hold back.

Franda, who can turn into a wind spirit, is undoubtedly a more useful helper than the Reconnaissance Magic Tools.

“Okay, master.”

The others couldn’t see Franda’s figure or hear her voice.

They just felt a gentle breeze blowing over, bringing a bit of coolness.

Seemingly hearing a string of crisp and cheerful laughter, like the sound of silver bells.

On the other hand.

The Flame and Metal Trading Company team had naturally discovered a Ravensmouth College team close to them.

What is there to hesitate about?

They should just go for the kill.

The leader had long issued a strict order, after entering the competition area, to focus on attacking Ravensmouth College during the early stage and ignore teams from other organizations.

With a golden opportunity at hand, they naturally had to seize it.

The two teams facing each other would greatly shorten the time until the outbreak of a confrontation.

Both sides were well aware of this.

So the most important thing was vigilance and reconnaissance.

Both sides invested most of their energy and resources in these two areas.

“Master, master, they’re almost here,” Franda’s voice echoed in Link’s mind, sharing her viewpoint with him.

This is a divine punishment!

Link had this thought as soon as he saw the situation.

“Freewill” was at a higher position, while the Flame and Metal Trading Company team was lower.

Attack from below has always been challenging.

The situation was uncertain, and the Flame and Metal Trading Company team dared not rashly ascend.

Under circumstances when interstellar battleships could not be used, using ordinary flying vehicles inevitably became live targets.

They could only try to evade the surveillance of the Reconnaissance Magic Tools and progress covertly along a detour.

In fact, the Flame and Metal Trading Company team did evade the surveillance of “Freewill’s” UFO, successfully stealthily covering some distance.

However, they now faced a rather difficult dilemma.

Ahead of them was a gourd-shaped valley. If they went in and were discovered, they would immediately fall into a desperate situation.

Detouring or ascending would make their traces easier to expose, and all their previous efforts would be in vain.

The reason for the Flame and Metal Trading Company team’s hesitation was that they did not want to be discovered prematurely.

However, Link had already found their tracks.

Once the tracks were discovered, they could be attacked.

If it weren’t for the rule revealed to Link by fate upon entering the competition area, prohibiting the use of Star-annihilating Cannons or other Attack Magic Tools above the Official wizard level.

Link would have pulled out the Star-annihilating Cannon at this moment and fired a shot in that direction.

That would completely melt the Flame and Metal Trading Company team.

He wouldn’t even need to consider how to use the advantage of discovering the enemy first to arrange an attack.
