Facing Rocky, Clara, and Westwood, the Black Armored Warrior not only showed no fear, but also hooked his finger at the three of them, actually provoking them!
"Don’t fall for it!"
However, in response to this provocation, Clara immediately said through the communicator, "There’s someone else in the shadows, he’s drawing our attention!"
As a member of the Blue Crune, Clara’s quality was indeed high, and she saw through the enemy’s trick at a glance!
At this moment, the reason why the Black Armored Warrior still appeared confident even against the three of them, even going so far as to provoke them, was actually to draw attention so that they would focus on him, thereby creating an opportunity for the hidden Sniper!
In fact, from the attacks just now, the Sniper hiding in the dark using a longbow for sneak attacks was the most dangerous enemy. The Sniper’s arrows were too cunning, and their power was also too great; once the enemy found another opportunity, someone among Clara and Westwood was likely to be shot dead with a single arrow!
That was why Clara immediately warned the others, and her warning was obviously meant for Rocky to hear.
Westwood is a member of the Fierce Tiger Squad; he absolutely wouldn’t fall for such a vile performance. Clara feared that Rocky, in the heat of the moment, would fall for the enemy’s trap, after all, the strength of Rocky and the White Demon Armor were evident, which could easily lead to recklessness.

"Understood."
Hearing Clara’s words, Rocky responded, and without waiting for him to speak, Clara’s voice came again through the communicator:
"Rocky, can you find the other person?"
"I can, but you two..."
Rocky was of course aware that the other enemy hidden in the shadows was the most dangerous. He believed that he could definitely locate the enemy with the help of the White Demon Armor. However, he wasn’t sure if Clara and Westwood could hold off the Black Armored Warrior if he left.
It goes without saying that the abilities of these two were exceptional, but they had both been fighting from the start until now without stopping. What’s more important was that both were injured, meaning both they and their Armor were in very poor condition. If he left, Rocky truly feared they might die at the hands of the Black Armored Warrior.
"Don’t worry about us."
This time, Westwood replied, "Rocky, find the other person. Don’t worry about us."
Among the three, Westwood was in the worst condition, but he was also the most resolute.
With that settled, Rocky said no more. They were on the battlefield, where there was no room for hesitation or overthinking. So after deciding on the next move, they immediately focused their attention on the Black Armored Warrior and charged out together!
Like three shooting stars, they instantly rushed at the Black Armored Warrior. Clara and Westwood were on the left and right, with Rocky in the center, his speed being the fastest. Almost instantly upon accelerating, he had surpassed Clara and Westwood and pounced in front of the Black Armored Warrior.
As he approached, Rocky raised his Scythe for a vertical slash. The Scythe, with its chilling radiance, came down from above the enemy’s head instantly. If this strike hit its mark, it would be the end of the battle, and the enemy would inevitably be split in two.
But would it really be that easy?
Although members of the Imperial Knight Order had been secretly observing the Fierce Tiger Squad, they certainly hadn’t overlooked Rocky’s presence.
First, because Rocky’s performance in battle was in no way inferior to that of the Fierce Tiger Squad. If one were to discuss individual capability and personal battle achievements alone, Rocky’s performance was even more impressive—so it was impossible for him to go unnoticed.
Second, the renown of the White Demon Armor was simply too high. When Rocky was rampaging across the battlefield, the members of the Imperial Knight Order had long recognized who he truly was. Moreover, the Imperial Army had collected intelligence from various sources, especially from the Rebel Army, and was well aware of Rocky’s background.
Under these circumstances, facing the descending Scythe, the Black Armored Warrior knew he couldn’t just take the hit; otherwise, he would be admitting defeat. Yet despite knowing he couldn’t withstand the attack head-on, his movements remained calm and composed. As the Scythe reached his head, he slightly shifted his figure and with a whoosh, the blade narrowly missed his black Armor, leaving him completely unscathed! Stay tuned with freewebnovel
Then in an instant, right when the Scythe failed to hit its mark, the Black Armored Warrior suddenly accelerated. In the blink of an eye, he closed in on Rocky, flipped his sword upside-down, and swung his arm directly at Rocky’s neck!
The difference between an expert and an amateur is immediately obvious when they make their move.
With just one exchange, the Black Armored Warrior had proven that the Imperial Knights’ strength was definitely no less than that of Crune in blue, and certainly not less than Rocky’s.
His timing of defense and attack was simply too precise, showcasing rich combat experience in a single round.
His subsequent responses were also impeccable.
The Magic Fang Scythe was a typical long-range weapon with great power and wide range—it was at this moment the Black Armored Warrior, having dodged the attack, immediately chose to close in. As a result, at close quarters and especially in tight melee combat, the effectiveness of the Magic Fang Scythe was greatly reduced, and Rocky’s advantage was difficult to exploit.
Moreover, as he approached Rocky to launch his attack, Clara and Westwood’s support were also greatly hindered.
Clara used a whip, which was similarly a long-range weapon. Facing the two entangled in close combat, she struggled to find a good opportunity to strike. Westwood was even less to mention. He now only had a pair of Magic Energy Cannons to use, and unfortunately, the Magic Energy Cannon was an area effect weapon. A blast would surely harm Rocky as well.
So, while Rocky fought the enemy in close quarters, Clara could occasionally find the chance to lash out with her whip, but Westwood was completely unable to fire his cannons and could only watch anxiously.
It was at this moment when the three of them were locked in combat with the Black Armored Warrior, far away from them, someone had silently drawn their longbow. After a moment of aiming, an arrow was shot forth!
The Arrow Feather took off with incredible speed and seemed to have eyes of its own. It flew past countless impediments, threading through the slightest gap generated by the Void Magic Warriors with precise accuracy, and headed straight for Westwood’s back.
A moment later, the Arrow Feather arrived silently right behind Westwood.
"Here it comes!"
And just then, just as the arrow was about to strike, Westwood suddenly spun around. As he shouted, he shielded his chest with his hands, and boom—a loud explosion sounded and he was blown away.
Also at that very moment, as he entangled with the Black Armored Warrior, Rocky suddenly leapt upwards, rocketing into the sky. He immediately made a sharp turn, moving at the highest speed towards the direction the Arrow Feather had come from!
