"Captain!" The group was in distress even though they only fought against two Tier 1 beasts and six Tier 0 beasts. If they were near a city, they would be able to defeat these beasts. In fact, they had confidence that they could defeat all of them even if they were mutant beasts.
However, they never expected that the beasts inside this forest would be this strong.
They were not the only group that had trouble with the beasts. There were several other groups that were trying their best to get out of the current situation. A few groups even tried to escape.
The captain gritted his teeth while holding the Tier 1 beast back. He shouted, "Search a gap and the people around this area. We’ll go to their place and reform our position."
"Haaa!" One of them roared and used every ounce of his strength just to repel the beast in front of him. He took out the radar and shouted, "There are a lot of people and beasts to our left."
"Let’s go to the—" The captain was about to give an order when a shadow appeared on the corner of his eyes.
In addition, one of the beasts that were trying to kill his teammates got shot from the side.
The shadow turned into two as both of them moved swiftly from the right. Because of what happened inside the battleship, they recognized Clovis and Jay.
*Roar!* The Tier 1 beast noticed them and smacked the person before it. After that, it turned around and slapped Clovis. The latter struck the beast’s paw with both swords and knocked it up.
When the beast tried to use the other paw, Clovis kicked his arm and stopped his momentum. Then, Clovis spun his body and cut the knocked paw earlier.
While screaming in pain, the beast stomped the ground and used the other paw to stop Clovis. Sadly for the beast, Clovis had closed in. Now that he was beside that arm, he slashed it down.

The beast was unable to do anything else with both arms gone. So, Clovis took this chance to send the beast’s head flying, ultimately killing the Tier 1 beast.
Normally, it would take Clovis only a single strike to actually kill a Tier 1 beast, but that didn’t matter. This was the true strength of the beast.
Jay did the same, but because his opponent was only a Tier 0 beast, he overpowered the beast and cut it down in a single slash. He then headed to the second Tier 1 beast that fought the captain.
Seeing the reinforcement, the captain grabbed the beast’s horn and held it down for a few seconds. "GO!"
Jay sped up and sliced the beast’s neck, killing it instantly. After that, he moved on to another beast.
In just thirty seconds, Clovis, Jay, and Kanaria were actually able to kill all the beasts.
The captain was simply stunned, never expecting that the people they scrutinized earlier would actually help them.
"You…" The captain stepped forward, stopping Clovis, who seemed to want to move to another location. "Why did you help us?"
Clovis looked at him coldly, making the captain shudder. The latter knew that he had done something wrong, and Clovis had the right to see him that way.
However, Clovis actually spoke with a rather serious but gentle tone. "Don’t forget who we represent. Before our own group, we are the citizens of this city. And above all, they are a foreign company. Don’t forget that. While the beasts are strong, as long as we are careful and work together, they are nothing."
Clovis waved his hand, signaling Jay and Kanaria to move to another location.
The captain and all his members couldn’t help but listen to Clovis’s simple yet profound message.
"The city… Yes. We do represent our group, but we are also the representatives of the city. We can’t really disappoint the city. No. We are also representing our country. We won’t allow the foreigners to look down upon us." The captain bit his lips.
He had misunderstood Clovis’s group. They were what the people didn’t want, but what they actually needed.
He was there to make sure that their city didn’t lose face in this expedition.
Yet, they actually disdained him just because of the rumor. Like Clovis said, they finally understood why this raid wasn’t normal.
"Gather all their essence in one minute. After that, we’ll head to another group and help them if they are in trouble."
"Yes."
The group moved as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, Clovis led his group through the forest and helped one group after another. Every time they appeared, the people would be shocked. Clovis was like a ghost and a guardian who came when they needed him and left after saving them.
That was what Clovis was trying to do. The seed of doubt he planted earlier began to bloom. The fertilizer was none other than the device that Hana gave.
By hiding from the radar, it was as if they appeared out of nowhere and acted like heroes while rousing their spirits.
It was easy to sway people’s opinions, considering there was only a misunderstanding between them.
With one group helping another group, the two groups would be able to help another two.
In an instant, Clovis managed to actually unite the groups while solving the rumors.
"This…" When the people from the OpenSky corporation came to help these people, there were nothing but beasts left behind. Even if they found the participants, they had actually worked together and defeated the beasts.
"What is actually happening? They’re actually working together? Do they know it’s impossible to defeat the beasts by themselves and start working together? No, there wasn’t any unity between them earlier…"
Suddenly, Hana’s voice echoed from the receiver in his right ear. "There’s no need for us to make a move yet."
"Miss?" He was surprised and raised his head, finding a drone hovering in the sky. It seemed that Hana had been monitoring them the whole time.
She was smiling behind the screen while her butler asked, "Is this what you had in mind when giving that device?"
"No. This is beyond my imagination." Hana smiled.
