BXBX NOVEL Chapter 98: Ambush
"Huh?" Fenrir frowned as he noticed something. "There is something wrong with those guys. Their presence is hard to sense, even for me."
Nathan glanced at Fenrir and arrived at a certain conclusion. "How many?"
"Six humans!"
Those six humans seemed to split up. As if realizing Raza was stronger than them forced the enemies to split into two groups. For the Retishia Academy, they were facing two people whom Fenrir believed to be the strongest ones.
Meanwhile, the other four were coming straight at Nathan and Selena.
\'Who are they? No, that\'s not important. Should we retreat? But if they are attacking the soldiers, it will create a hole for the aliens. The soldiers have to stop the aliens by themselves. Then, there\'s only one path for us.\' Nathan shouted, "Selena.
Follow me!"
Without hesitation, Nathan was charging toward the incoming aliens, moving away from the soldiers.
Selena didn\'t know what was going on, but she still trusted Nathan\'s decision.
They didn\'t know who these people were, but they had to flee as quickly as possible since their lives were in danger.
"Fenrir! Open up the path!" Nathan shouted.
Anubis immediately summoned his bandages and released them toward the incoming enemies. All of them summoned their familiars and blocked Anubis\' attack. Noticing what Nathan wanted, Risa also sent forth her blood tornadoes to provide some firepower.
Meanwhile, Fenrir hit the alien\'s head and threw its body toward another alien. They crashed and brought down another alien.
To his surprise, there was a burst of Ena that hit him from the side. And only one person actually had this kind of attack. It was Selena.
He didn\'t think Selena would hit him, but he soon saw her objective. The Ena launched his body in the opposite direction, allowing him to slap an alien in that direction and do the same thing again. This way, the hole he opened became much bigger.
Yes, Selena knew Fenrir wouldn\'t get hurt by that kind of attack, so she just carried him to the opposite side.
Now that there was a big gap between the aliens, they easily slipped past the alien\'s rank.
The mysterious people kept chasing after them, but Fenrir didn\'t kill any of those aliens. The moment they stood up, the first thing they saw were these four people, so it allowed Nathan and Selena a bit of breathing time.
Nathan took this opportunity to think about the current situation.
\'This is not good. Should we get some help? The soldiers are going to be attacked by the aliens soon. Are they going to inform the mercenary group? But won\'t it cause a lot more problems? Can they even spare some people in this situation?
The soldiers on the other side might not be in their position yet.
\'Come on, think you idiot brain. What should we do in this situation? Should we stay here? Should we move away?\'
Nathan squinted his eyes. There were four people. The ones coming for him had two familiars each: a kobold and an orc, and a cat-person and a lamia.
When he glanced at the other two, who were still occupied with Raza and the remaining two students, Nathan got an idea.
"Selena. Thirty steps back. That\'s where we\'ll fight them. I\'ll take the left." Nathan paused for a moment. This was probably the first time he would ask such a thing, but if he didn\'t do anything, the enemies might kill him. That was why Nathan gave an order.
"Don\'t kill them for information if possible. Kill if they\'re too troublesome."
"!!!" Selena\'s expression turned cold. The fact that these four people couldn\'t break through the alien\'s rank that easily meant their strength was relatively weaker. However, they still had enough numbers to overwhelm them.
Even though they had some experience fighting multiple summoners at a time, these people were much more decisive compared to the students they fought.
Hence, handling two of them should be quite a tough task.
Meanwhile, the soldiers obviously saw the summoners getting attacked, but they couldn\'t do anything. "Go ask for reinforcements and tell them we\'re being attacked by mysterious people."
The platoon leader sent forth two messengers to the mercenary group for reinforcement. Meanwhile, the aliens were approaching them at high speed.
"Get ready!"
The aliens leaped into the air and fell right on top of them. The soldiers blocked them with their shields, but some soldiers ended up falling either from the alien\'s weight or their momentum.
"Gaaaahhh!" One of them screamed as he was struggling to push the alien away.
On the other side, a soldier was wailing in pain while shouting, "My arm is broken!"
However, there was a soldier unlucky enough to get overwhelmed by the alien. The latter immediately pushed its shield away before it bit a portion of its head.
A lot of soldiers on the back moved forward to stop these aliens, but even if their swings succeeded, the damage was minuscule.
The aliens almost crushed the human wall they made to block their access, but the alien didn\'t care as long as they could reach the mature class alien.
"Kill them!" The platoon leader shouted.
They had a lot of experience in fighting aliens, so the soldiers steadily stopped the aliens\' advancement and turned into a real wall.
They were waiting for the reinforcement. As long as they could help those five summoners from the mysterious people, they could continue with their plan.
Unfortunately for them, the situation was too chaotic because of the mature class alien.
"What? An attack from a mysterious group?" One of the people under Alavenya gasped. He shook his head. "All of our summoners are currently helping the soldiers on the battlefield. It\'s impossible for us to send reinforcements! You need to deal with it for now."
Despite sending the soldiers away, his face looked pale because he had heard how much the academies wanted her to join. And the target this time might be her.
