Chapter 1301: Chapter 122 Decisive Victory_2
Moon Scar’s heart leaped with joy as he said, "The decisive strategy is like this, divided into individual combat and group combat. Individual combat is decided by five battles while group combat involves each side sending their five hundred best warriors to clash. By the rules, it is advantageous to us. In the five individual battles, they must win three, and they must also win the group combat to drive us out of here. However, the opponents don’t come with good intentions. Although the overall quality of our Moon Scar Mercenary Corps is acceptable, we are relatively weaker in one-on-one combat. Alas—now we can only hope to win in the group combat. But I’m worried; there might be numerous casualties among our brothers in the group combat."
Xuan Yue smiled confidently and said, "Brother Moon Scar, don’t worry. We won’t let the contest proceed to group combat; if we win the individual matches, they can’t continue, right?"
Moon Scar was slightly taken aback and thought to himself, Such great confidence Yue Yue’s brother has in himself! He shook his head and said, "But we are supposed to start with the group combat before proceeding to individual combat. That is to say, group combat is inevitable."
Ah Dai frowned and said, "Once the melee begins, it will be difficult to cover the whole arena, and casualties are inevitable, which makes it challenging." Since losing to the four elders of the Yajin Tribe, his confidence had never fully recovered. Xuan Yue’s eyes flashed with intensity as he said, "No worries, I have a plan. Brother Moon Scar, does the headcount for group combat have to be five hundred? Could it be fewer?"
Moon Scar replied, "It’s not necessarily fixed; five hundred is just the upper limit. If it’s fewer than that, it’s fine. Brother Xuan Re, what are you thinking of doing?"
Xuan Yue confidently smiled and said, "Then that’s easy to solve. Tomorrow, during the group combat, Ah Dai and I will fight as your allies. Just five hundred people, they’re nothing in my eyes. This way, you can avoid casualties." Moon Scar was shocked, thinking he had misheard, and frowned, "What? Just the two of you against their side? How can that be possible, brother, you can’t joke with your life! The opponents will surely send their best, and if anything goes wrong, you two could be killed. It’s good to be confident, but don’t be reckless."
Xuan Yue could sense what Moon Scar was thinking, and while glancing at the silent Ah Dai, thought, Let’s use this group combat to bring back brother’s confidence. He smiled and said, "Brother Moon Scar, rest assured, I am not being arrogant; please believe in us. With the strength of Ah Dai and me, we’ll definitely help you through this crisis."
Unable to hold back, Kino interjected before Moon Scar could speak, "No need for you to go, I’m enough. Just summon a Purple Flame Soaring Dragon, and I’ll have them running in fear."
Olivia snorted disdainfully, saying, "You going? That would cause more trouble. My Tornado Residue is more powerful, guaranteed to make them dizzy and incapacitated."
Xuan Yue said, "No, you can’t represent the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps in battle since you’re not mercenaries. Just watch from the sidelines."
Both Olivia and Kino were rendered speechless, as they, being important members of the Mage Guild, were not allowed to join the mercenary ranks without the Guild President’s approval.
Hearing their conversation, Moon Scar almost fainted. Who are these people! Their claims were so grandioles. He had not seen Ah Dai in years; how did he make friends with so many braggers? Looking at their attire, clearly, they were all high-level mages; how could they possibly contend against five hundred Iron Knights by themselves? Just as he was about to refuse, suddenly, a ruckus erupted outside.
"What? My big brother doesn’t let anyone in? Not even me? I’m the vice captain. Move aside, or I’ll kick you to death, ..."
Ah Dai and Xuan Yue were both taken aback; this imperious and domineering voice was all too familiar. With a "bang," the door of the Conference Hall was kicked open. A furious young girl entered, her lithe body clad in red attire, complemented by her slightly curly long hair, exuding a wild allure. It was Yue Ji, Moon Scar’s sister.
Ah Dai stood up and laughed, "Long time no see, Sister Yue Ji, your temper is still as fierce! You must be around twenty-three or twenty-four now, right?"
Yue Ji blinked, looking at Ah Dai, and shivered all over, "Ah! You, you’re Ah Dai? How did you get here?"
Ah Dai smiled and said, "We were passing by and heard that your Moon Scar Mercenary Corps is now well-known, so we came to have a look."
Yue Ji closed the door behind her, chuckling and scolding, "You’ve got some conscience, lad. You speak much more smoothly than before. It seems you’re not as silly anymore. It must be the good work of my sister Yue Yue."
Ah Dai sighed bitterly, "Sister, give me some face."
Yue Ji walked up to Ah Dai, punched his shoulder with great force, eliciting a flicker of white light from Ah Dai. To avoid harming Yue Ji, he used only soft power, making her feel like her fist had hit a ball of cotton. Slightly puzzled, she retracted her glow, and Ah Dai still stood unaffected as if nothing had happened. Moon Scar frowned and said, "Little sister, what are you doing? Ah Dai has come from afar; why did you hit him upon arrival?"
