"Yeah! Let’s go down!" Clovis endured the pain. Fortunately, he was still able to use his left hand somehow. He did his best to retract his short sword and grab his long sword with his right hand. Since they were already at the foot of the mountain, the angle wasn’t that steep anymore. Hence, Clovis and Kanaria hurriedly ran to the woods.
Obviously, the beasts chased after them. They would never let their prey get away.
While running away, Clovis glanced to the side. Thankfully, Jay and Melody had gotten down as well and seemed to be running into the forest.
Still, they had to handle at least sixty strong beasts even if the flying beasts didn’t interfere. It would be hard, especially since they hadn’t regrouped or gotten into position.
Clovis kept asking himself how to regroup in this situation. He had to come up with a plan fast before regrouping became impossible.
When the woods covered his eyes for a split second, he realized something.
"Jay! Come toward me and trust me! Melody, create a trajectory!" Clovis thought of something and informed the two. After that, he pointed forward while saying, "Move a bit further from this spot and get into the sniping position."
’Are you alright?’ was what she wanted to say, but when looking at the beasts and understanding the severity of the situation, she knew she shouldn’t ask such a useless question. She nodded. "Okay."
Clovis halted his steps and turned around as if he were ready to fight the beasts.
When the beasts were about to reach him, Clovis smirked and ran to the left.
The beasts were confused as they split up, with the majority following Clovis. There were only less than ten beasts that chased after Kanaria.
Still, the most important problem would be Jay and Melody. If they didn’t play their parts, the plan would have crumbled.
However, there was no sliver of doubt in Clovis’s heart. In fact, before Melody could even react, Jay had already turned diagonally, heading straight to Clovis.
The captain and the vice captain had complete trust in each other. This was the essence of their group.
Clovis couldn’t help but smile when he saw Jay already closing in. If Jay reacted a tad too late, the beasts would have caught up to them before they could execute the plan.
Melody was confused about what Clovis wanted her to do, but when she saw the two moving toward each other with a lot of beasts behind them, she couldn’t help but say, "They are like… those games that depict ancient warfare… What is it again, wedge formation? Wait, game?"
Melody noticed something and hurriedly put her thoughts into the instruction.
All of a sudden, an arrow appeared in their skyglasses, showing their route.
When Clovis smirked, it was a sign that she had gotten it correctly.
Jay’s expression turned grim, knowing what would happen if they failed. Still, that grin on Clovis’s face felt like he was asking, ’It’s not going to fail, right, Jay?’
The beasts almost caught up to them, but the distance between Clovis and Jay was only five meters.
The moment there was only one step away from each of them, Clovis and Jay stomped the ground and jumped to the left at the same time, missing each other only by an arm length.
On the other hand, the beasts were going too fast to change their direction and ended up crashing into each other.
Some beasts flew into the air from the collision while others simply crushed the opposite beasts with their tougher skin.
Still, there were still some beasts on the back and they hurriedly changed directly, some directly stood in Clovis and Jay’s ways.
Now that they were on the ground, they didn’t have to worry about the terrain anymore. Jay stomped the ground as hard as he could to get every ounce of his strength. Then, he activated the beast soul to increase his speed before cutting the beasts up.
"Oraaa!" Jay let out a roar.
Meanwhile, Clovis took a more elegant approach. He dodged the beasts at the last second while slashing his blades multiple times as he passed them, injuring them and even killing three of them. Their advances were so quick that the beasts couldn’t do anything.
Once Clovis broke through, he said, "Melody, help Kanaria and bail out Jay!"

Melody looked in the direction where Clovis was going and immediately turned around, showing her back toward the beasts that chased after her. However, it didn’t matter. Clovis had arrived from the side and plunged into the beast’s rank, wreaking havoc.
Melody took this time to reach Kanaria’s position and started shooting and throwing grenades, suppressing the several beasts that chased Kanaria.
"!!!" Kanaria stopped in her track and used the momentum to actually step on the trunk so that she could pull herself up.
As soon as she landed on the tree’s branch, she pointed her rifle at the beasts around Jay and started peeling them off one by one, allowing Jay to pick up the pace.
Although the situation was still quite bad, they had indeed escaped the worst.
Clovis continued killing one beast after another with his swift and precise movement, killing more than ten beasts in just two minutes.
Some of the beasts did everything they could to harm Clovis, which resulted in him getting some light injuries all over his body. Still, Clovis looked like a demon as he continued swinging his weapons as if there were no injuries.
The moment Kanaria bailed Jay out, Clovis had arrived next to the two girls, regrouping with Jay.
Now that they had gotten into positions, nothing could stop them anymore. Clovis and Jay handled the front with their brute force, Kanaria supported them, and Melody took care of the small details.
When they thought the battle would be concluded soon, they heard a roar coming from the enemy’s rear.
*Roar!*
"!!!" Clovis raised his vision, seeing an ape that was more muscular than the Tier 3 proconsul he fought on the surface.
