Chapter 34: Positioning
When the time came, all the guild masters headed to the portal. Despite being in the middle of the night, some hunters were still around and ready to fight the mechanical warriors. They tend to show up once every five minutes during the day, but it is impossible to tell when they will show up at night...
There was no room for mistakes, and saying anything else would only cause problems or make people think too much, so Vanessa just jumped in the portal, and everyone followed her.
Terry already had the bow and an arrow nocked when he appeared on the other side. Much to everyone's surprise, pretty much the enemies around were awake and in front of a campfire. Even before either side could react, Terry fired an arrow that flew in a straight line and pierced the head of an enemy.
Icicle Longbow - Lv 21(16/220) (Uncommon)
Attack Power: 110
Movement Speed Debuff: 21%
Charges: 40/40
Durability: 32/32
(Critical Charge: when dealing critical damage on the target, you recover one charge automatically.)
In the blink of an eye, half of the enemies were decimated. That was the power of the guild masters... Thanks to that, some of the monsters began to run away toward the opposite direction of the portal. It wasn't possible to see due to the darkness of the night, but their base was probably in that direction.
Terry aimed at them and then used Triple Shot. He didn't have time to aim at their heads, but the arrows piercing their back did the job. Things could have been a lot easier if Vanessa could use all her power, but she couldn't without making a scene, so the Ranged hunters had to chase a lot of the enemies. The Melee hunters were even faster with their traits, so that helped a lot.
In the end, at the cost of half of his charges, Terry manages to kill ten of the enemies and approaches to check their bodies. They had to move on soon, but everyone could at least get the weird metal that their weapons became. Terry's power didn't react to it since it was only a square piece of weird metal the size of a finger.
"We need to keep moving," Vanessa declared. "We need to infiltrate their base and kill their leader before sunrise."
The group killed a large force of enemies without getting too injured, but Terry could feel the smell of blood coming from some of the guild masters when they began to move. It was weak, but it was there...
The pace of the group was quite fast since they had a time limit, and the enemy base was ten kilometers away. Still, since pretty much everyone there were super humans, just running was easy.
Vanessa was nearby, and it looked like she wanted to say something, but she didn't since that would make everyone's focus change toward her. Terry just shrugged at that...
Eventually, the group managed to see a town in the distance. They could even see some tall poles mimicking energy poles with Concentrated flames at the top of them. Not to mention, the town was walled... crossing the walls without being revealed by the flames will be difficult. They need to choose a stop to invade quickly and then kill everyone nearby without being noticed.
"We will attack the left side. Terry will identify and attack the enemies on the left side, and Hugo will help him obtain the proper position for that. "Amelia and Sarah will do the same in the opposite direction."
Terry wanted to hear more details, but they quickly arrived there, and then the blue armor guy jumped with all his might after putting Terry on his left shoulder.
