BXBX NOVEL Chapter 125 - Battle
Battle
"The open battle would take it long. The soldiers must be in numbers." Team head thought what better option they could go with.
Jake could not solve his dilemma. The quest of the task panel was questionable. It warned about the mayor and suggested to not battle then how on earth he could steal the keys?
If he stay away from the mayor to avoid the spell then killing him and stealing the key was impossible.
There were two choices. First they should face him and the soldiers. Who knows what kind of spell he was able to cast. In case they battle with soldiers the mayor would employ the spell.
Team players would be forced to go through the spell. Jake stopped wild horses of his thoughts at this point.
Jake could see that team head was preparing to welcome the mayor and battle. He was at short terms to plan anything. But then he thought carefully.
Jake finally decided to remain silent unless team head give him some responsibility to fulfill. Junan divided their jobs. They stood to wait for the mayor and his men.
Jake was standing at the back. He did not speak during the team head talking about how they were going to kill mayor.
Sashi was standing near him. He gestured her that he was going to remain hidden for surprise attack. She did not inform team head standing at the front.
Jake tried his best and hurried. He used broken plans of the houses to hide behind. His intentions were to kill the mayor when he wanted to cast the spell during battle.
Jake kept moving ahead. The mayor and his men appeared. They were coming from the west where the last rays of the light were ready to welcome evening.
Team members could see mayor and his men. They were large in numbers. The expected battle would take long for sure.
Task panel told that if the mayor was killed his men would not battle with runners instead leave immediately. Jake thought to immediately run toward the dead mayor and steal the key.
It was perfect plan for now. By remaining hidden he kept nearing toward the west. Mayor saw the runners standing in the open. From his expressions it was clear he disliked the way the runners act invulnerable. He prepared to stop them if necessary then use spell.
This special spell was his skill. The spell could render the runners motionless for ten seconds. It could potentially change the scenario however mayor did not want to use spell immediately.
The spell would cost ten years of his life. ten years would decrease from his life when he could cast the spell so he wished to leave it unless the runners appeared winning.
Team members were not aware that battle was not necessary however their resistance could give enough of time to the Jake Lin. Jake wished that his gun fire work on the mayor.
Main npc\'s did not die with simple attacks. They were meant to fight their way until their health drop to zero. The mayor was stronger however he was not the boss in the Labona farm in the presence of third beast.
The mayor gestured his soldiers to battle with the runners. Team head waved his sword. He was eager to slaughter them. Everyone took their positions and rushed with their weapons.
Soldiers listened to the orders and started battling. Mayor stood alone at the back end. He was not here to battle recklessly instead kill the runners. Mayor prepared for the spell in case the soldiers felt difficulty
Jake already knew that mayor would not battle. The soldiers were not stronger to stand in front of arena runners. However the numbers were simply huge. Junan was battling with the five soldiers at the same time. Other players were also busy and surrounded. They were using best moves and ability of their weapons.
Jake wished to use some grenades however it could alert mayor. Junan seemed much invested in the battle. Albert used both weapons his spear and shield. He smashed his shield at some of the enemies and others faced his spear.
Clark glared the enemies and swayed his hammer. Many fell at distance with the injuries and others used their swords. Orin bluntly used his thorny mace. He was not aiming properly instead wreaking havoc among the number of soldiers. His actions baffled many and their weapons injured other soldiers instead.
Ahram ruthlessly battled. His long chain captured two or more soldiers then he pulled the chain, it caused daggered pierce the soldier.
Sashi was at the back end using arrows and killing one soldier at a time. Everyone was busy. No one noticed that Jake was not present there. Team head saw the continuous stream of soldiers.
The last rays of the light were dying now. The Labona farm was not in good condition so they could not expect lamps for the light source. Then he remembered that Sashi possessed some sub-category weapon.
During battle he surveyed to see every team member. He was thinking to ask the kid for using some grenade, it would help reduce the soldiers. Junan looked in the direction however Jake was not present. He saw others. They were busy in the battle.
The missing of the younger player brought worry for him. He thought that Sashi would be around the younger player.
She was separately battling. Jake was missing. Team head called Clark. He was near. "Where is the younger one?" he asked killing the soldier. Clark surveyed the area critically. He could not spot Jake Lin.
Clark immediately checked the numbers of the players of his team appearing on the status bar. The team was complete no one dead. He sighed of relief.
This was the first thought that crossed his brain. "He must be around preparing for some surprise." Clark waved his hammer in the air and answered team head.
"I hope so…" Junan spoke. The burden of the number of soldiers was increasing. They seemed never dying instead stand up again injured. Mayor was unhappy seeing that soldiers were unable to kill any of the runners.
He was ready to cast his spell. Under the spell the runners would not be able to defend the cumulative attacks of the soldiers.. With this thought he rose up his hands.
