A moment ago.
Elina couldn’t help but look at Clovis’s group with a cold expression.
"There is nothing here."
"This place is clear."
The people in Ivan’s group were trying to locate the enemies before they heard a gunshot coming from the outside.
*Bang!*
All of them couldn’t help but look up, trying to find the source of the sound. It might be an emergency. At the very least, Ivan’s group knew that they shouldn’t release a shot so early.
"What happened?" Ivan asked out loud while coming out of the building. However, he didn’t find anyone.
"Is there something wrong?" Elina’s head popped out of the window on the second floor.
"Did you hear the gunshot earlier? I feel like the sound comes from the outside…" Ivan asked while furrowing his eyebrows.
"I’m not sure." Elina shook her head helplessly. "Did the other party use it? I heard it came from a lower elevation…"
"I did too." Ivan furrowed his eyebrows, contemplating. "The situation might not be good after this gunshot."
"Well, I can’t really say anything. Our group doesn’t have any gunners, so it’s probably from the other party."
"Let’s regroup first. The situation will definitely change after this."
"Yeah. We should check on everyone’s status. I’ll go down." Elina nodded and went back in. What Ivan didn’t know was that there was a gun producing a thin smoke from its muzzle. The gun had been thrown to the side as if it had been abandoned.
Elina simply walked away from the room and closed the door so that no one would bother to come.
a moment later.
The situation had become pretty dire.
On the left side, the members of Team Blossom couldn’t help but look at the incoming beasts.
"Oi, oi. There are a lot of beasts coming here." One of them shouted.
Another one was staring at the radar. "This number… I’m afraid there are at least two hundred of them."
"What? Our team can’t handle that many. We need reinforcement."
Their captain nodded and immediately grabbed the radio special for the expedition, reporting, "This is Team Blossom. We’ve got a problem here. A lot of beasts are coming toward us, we suspect their number to be more than two hundred."
Unfortunately for them, another report came right after.
"This is Silver Star. We have also spotted more than two hundred beasts coming toward us from the north. We suspect that they were alerted by the gunshot earlier."
Seeing the situation, as the captain of the vanguard teams, Eliot couldn’t help but grit his teeth. They only had thirty people against five hundred beasts. At the same time, if he asked for reinforcement right away, he would be seen as incompetent.
"Engage with the enemies," Eliot commanded, wanting them to continue this way without asking for reinforcement from the reserve group.
"We can’t handle two hundred beasts by ourselves." A protest soon came. It didn’t take too long for the other groups to also protest his decision.
Eliot simply said with a cold tone, "They have just settled down. It will be too much for them to reinforce us right away. At the very least, we need to buy them some time."
Those groups couldn’t help but furrow their eyebrows. This was simply nonsense.
"Are you serious?"
They obviously didn’t like the order. However, everyone was occupied. In the middle, there were Eliot and two teams to handle the two hundred beasts from the front. On the left side, they only had two teams to stop the same number.
Meanwhile, the right side wasn’t in a good position either. They only had two teams, which consisted of mostly Tier 1 explorers, on the right side. It would be too much for them to take care of a hundred beasts by themselves.
As expected, Ivan immediately faced a dilemma after regrouping with his group. On the one hand, he was supposed to go right and help Clovis. On the other hand, he hated this option and just wanted to go to the other side.
Ivan clicked his tongue, especially when he saw numerous beasts coming in their direction.

"We don’t have to help them," said Elina with a cold tone.
"That’s right. They are annoying. We should just let them die." Another girl snorted.
Ivan bit his lips as if he were trying to make a difficult decision. In the end, he said, "We will help them. If they get overrun here, the entire situation will crumble. Besides, this is the exact reason why we’re stationed here."
Most of them looked like they didn’t want to do it. Only Vina didn’t mind helping them, considering she had witnessed Clovis’s prowess personally. However, none of them knew about it since, just like Clovis, the government had asked her to stay quiet.
"Let’s go!" Ivan shouted while rushing to Clovis, noticing that only Clovis was standing in the middle of the road. Melody was protecting the building on the side and Kanaria must be inside that building. Jay, on the other hand, was completely gone.
At the same time, they heard multiple roars coming from the other block, making them realize that Jay was taking care of them by himself.
Clovis couldn’t help but turn around. Since the beasts hadn’t reached his position yet, he immediately shouted, "Oi! Your group should reinforce the two teams on the left side."
"Who are you to order me? Do you think you are so great that you can handle all these beasts?" Ivan gritted his teeth.
Clovis had expected this kind of reaction, so he didn’t bother with them anymore. He turned back and charged at the beasts.
"Is he going to fight all those beasts by himself?" One of them couldn’t help but gasp, not believing what they saw.
Elina’s expression turned grim, observing Clovis’s strength.
Melody was processing everything through her device, creating the route for Clovis and warning him in case a beast passed him.
Clovis took a deep breath when he was about to reach the beasts. The world immediately slowed down, making him able to grasp everyone’s movements.
Clovis waved his blade from below, slashed the beast before him, and took a step to the right to avoid the body’s momentum. After that, he leaped to the left and sliced the beast’s head. Then, he threw his short sword, impaled another beast’s head, and pulled it toward him, causing another beast to trip. In that instant, Clovis took the chance to behead the fourth beast.
His movement was so smooth that before they realized it, Clovis had actually killed four beasts.
