Clovis and the others remained focused, as if they had complete trust that Melody would take care of those beasts. Even if one or two managed to pass her, Kanaria would definitely help.
"Oi, oi, oi. We’re both Tier 2, but how could a mobile operator be stronger than a fighter like me?" The captain of the Silver Star team clicked his tongue, feeling a bit frustrated. At the same time, he admired this group.
"We can’t lose to them." Another member smiled helplessly. From the start, they only needed to handle sixty to seventy beasts. There were two Tier 2 beasts, but it was clear that they still needed about five more minutes to kill the remaining beasts.
If it was Clovis’s group that took care of these beasts, they would have done it by now. If not for Eliot’s command, they would like to give the chance to Clovis’s group.
"Get fired up, you guys. Don’t let these newbies take all the spotlight."
"Oh!" They shouted, ready to unleash everything they had.
Meanwhile, Clovis and Jay kept fighting against this andrewsarchus.
Jay struck the andrewsarchus’s claws, stopping its momentum. After that, Clovis shot the andrewsarchus’s head.
The skin was hard enough to deflect the bullet, but that was enough to force the andrewsarchus to close its eyelid to protect its eyes. Now that the andrewsarchus couldn’t see him anymore. He sneaked in and slashed the beast’s legs and body, leaving several wounds on the body.
*Roar!* The andrewsarchus hurriedly opened its eyes and searched for Clovis.
While it was getting distracted by Clovis, Jay spun his body, looping around the andrewsarchus’s paw before slashing its body.
Jay and Clovis continued with this strategy for a few minutes, leaving numerous wounds on the andrewsarchus’s body.
Although most of them were just shallow cuts, the number was enough to cause enough blood loss to impact the beast’s movement.
*Bam!*
Eventually, the andrewsarchus stomped the ground with its right legs as its body swayed in the same direction.
It was a clear indication that the beast’s consciousness had started to waver.
"We are done!" The captain of the Silver Star team shouted, as though he were telling Clovis that they would be helping the Libation Fiesta take down the Tier 3 beast.
Still, they were a bit surprised by the state of the andrewsarchus. Even without their help, Clovis and Jay might be able to take it down.
This was a massive achievement for the Libation Fiesta, but the Silver Star team didn’t know that Clovis had never intended to take the andrewsarchus’s life in this place.
What they knew was that if they helped them here, it would just be taking away their achievement. That was why the captain was a bit hesitant to give an order to attack the andrewsarchus.
"Captain… Are we really going to help them?" One of the members asked while furrowing his eyebrows.
"This…" The captain scratched the back of his head.
However, he soon noticed that Clovis abruptly stopped and turned to the left as if he had noticed something.
"That’s…" Clovis raised his eyebrows, looking at the horizon.
Although it was hard to see, Kanaria was there to confirm it.
"Another wave of beasts is coming toward us. The one leading them is a Tier 3 beast. And there are about fifty beasts behind it. The situation doesn’t look good for us," Kanaria reported, which was transmitted to the Silver Star group by Melody.
"!!!" The captain of the Silver Star team was startled. "This indeed doesn’t look good for us."
Without hesitation, he reported the situation on the radio. "This is Silver Star. We need a hand here. It takes everything we have to handle the Tier 3 andrewsarchus, but there is another Tier 3 beast coming toward us. What’s going on here?!"

"The reserve army has been deployed fully to the right side. It’s impossible to send the reinforcement."
"It takes all of us to stop this Tier 4 beast. We can’t send anyone to your position."
Both the shield and reserve teams responded immediately, their tones looked distressed. Even those who only heard their words could imagine the battle they experienced.
However, this dire situation would definitely come to them. That was why the Silver Star team had to find a solution to fight two Tier 3 beasts and the other lower tier beasts.
"Jay. Buy me some time." Clovis took a step back to assess the situation.
Jay released all his strength in order to stop the Tier 3 andrewsarchus, buying Clovis a precious few seconds.
Clovis suddenly turned to the Silver Star team, saying, "Our group will lure these two Tier 3 beasts away. However, we might have to abandon our position because of this task. I hope you guys can stop all the other beasts… in order to increase our survival rate."
"What?" The captain widened his eyes in shock, not believing what he had just heard. "Wait. We should be able to handle the Tier 3 beast ourselves. You can focus on the andrewsarchus and the remaining beasts."
"No. It’s not that I belittle your group, but the Tier 3 beasts are easier to lure, especially by us lower level explorers. They will be confident, thinking they can crush us like a bug. And the task of stopping the Tier 3 andrewsarchus is on us, so we might as well grab another Tier 3. It’s just… we might not be able to handle the other beasts."
"Are you really going to sacrifice yourself?" The captain clenched his hands into fists. It was clear that Clovis was more talented than him. To think such a talented person would sacrifice himself for others.
Looking at the determination in Clovis’s eyes, the captain gritted his teeth and said, "All members of the Silver Star team. Heed my commands. Make sure that the Libation Fiesta team can lure the two Tier 3 beasts without any interference from a single lower level beast."
All the members of the Silver Star team became serious, understanding their roles. If even a single beast passed them and headed to Clovis, it would bring shame to their name.
