"Three Tier 4 beasts that are not suppressed by the stone pillar and more than fifty beasts following them. In addition, there is another Tier 5…" Clovis’ expression was dark.
Even if he wanted to challenge the Tier 5 beast, it was impossible to win against all these beasts in this situation.
Clovis said, "We’ll need to retreat a little bit."
"But if we’re retreating, they will go to the left side, which will cause them to be pincered from two directions." Melody protested.
"I know, but we’re not in the position to handle all these beasts." Clovis shouted back while gritting his teeth.
Melody couldn’t deny it. Although it was a hard decision, they had no choice but to retreat.
Clovis slashed multiple beasts around him before shouting, "Jay, Ragna. We’ll move back fifty meters. Take care of the rear!"
"Got it!" Jay and Ragna switched their stances. They were still surrounded, but now that they had a priority, they planned to abandon their post.
However, before they could retreat, a group of seven people suddenly appeared from the left. And their leader was actually Aileen.
"Kill all of them!"
Their group immediately killed the beasts, forcing the enemies to shift some of their attention to them.
"!!!" Clovis was shocked at first, but he hurriedly shouted, "Aileen!"
"Clovis! You are a better commander than mine. You take charge and assign us our roles," Aileen replied while killing another beast. "I’ve brought six people with one of them being a Tier 4 assassin."
"This number…" Clovis took a single breath to think of the plan. "All of the six people coming with you are to eliminate all those Tier 3 beasts or lower."
"What? I can stop the Tier 4 beast by myself." The Tier 4 assassin shouted in protest.
"No. We’ll be focusing on killing the other beasts. Once they don’t have any more subordinates, killing them will be much easier."
"!!!" The Tier 4 assassin immediately shut up, realizing why Aileen gave the command to him.
Aileen smiled, knowing that the situation was still salvageable.
He pointed to the right. "Aileen, you go to the next block and cooperate with Erwin and Melody to take down the Tier 4 beast and the rest of the beasts."
"No. Tell Melody to come to this place. Erwin and I will be enough to kill those beasts. I promise you to be as quick as possible." Aileen had already jumped toward Erwin as if she were worried about her sweetheart.
"Alright. Ragna, Jay. You two will be stopping the Tier 5 beast. Just make sure to buy us as much time as possible. No need to attack them. Preserve your stamina for later."

"Roger that. No pressure." Ragna sighed. Even with Jay, it was going to be hard to stop a Tier 5 beast.
"Melody, you come to this block and suppress the Tier 4 beast. Kanaria will take advantage of that opportunity to kill the Tier 4 beast. I’ll handle the last Tier 4 beast."
"Got it." Melody immediately rushed to the other block. At the same time, she was giving precise instructions to the other members, especially their positioning.
All of a sudden, the wall of the building next to her was destroyed as a three-meter-tall spider emerged from the building. It was the Tier 4 spider that Kanaria failed to kill earlier.
The spider was actually waiting this whole time until the opportunity to kill its enemy appeared.
However, both the spider and Melody knew that it was impossible to kill Melody.
After all, the spider had to raise two legs, blocking the sword from the side. Yes, it was Clovis.
Melody had found the spider with her radar and gave Clovis his new position because she knew the spider was waiting for her.
"Leaving it to you, Captain."
"Yeah. Give me two minutes." Clovis slashed the spider with his full speed while using his technique.
Surprisingly, the spider kept up with his speed just fine.
"…" Clovis was a bit surprised that the spider was actually this fast, but it didn’t really matter. There was one thing that he hadn’t tried yet.
Clovis threw his short sword at the Tier 4 beast. The spider thought it was a distraction, so it simply smacked the sword away.
As expected, Clovis was approaching once again while shooting several bullets.
The spider blocked a few bullets with its legs, but some of them still hit its body and one of its eyes.
"Reee!" The spider was screeching in pain, but when Clovis was about to reach him, the spider waved the two front legs.
Clovis clenched his long sword tightly. When the spider legs were about to reach him, he unleashed all the momentum he had held back this whole time.
Clink!
The clash between the legs and the sword produced a clicking sound as Clovis was actually a step too late.
"Tsk." Clovis gritted his teeth. The legs had actually hit him, but fortunately, his clothes were still hard enough to stop them.
Clovis jumped back, which caused the spider to take the initiative to attack.
’You should focus on the change of pace.’ Clovis remembered Mara’s advice.
There were a lot of ways to utilize the change of pace, but in this situation, this was the only way.
Clovis let the spider come closer to him while he was holding the sword, as if he were about to draw it. The spider didn’t know what Clovis was attempting. Since he presented that opportunity, the spider wasted no time using it.
’Change of pace… Change of pace. Wait until the last second and unleash my fastest speed!’ Clovis looked at the incoming legs as closely as possible.
When the legs were only ten centimeters away from him, he struck both of them at almost the same time.
Clink!
"Tsk." Clovis clicked his tongue, not because he failed, but because the attack was still not enough to crush the legs. However, all that momentum from the sword actually knocked the two legs up, exposing the spider’s head.
Nevertheless, this was also an opportunity. Clovis slashed and shot the head multiple times in the half second he had.
