Chapter 67 A Pincer Attack

Behind them, the people from Blue Brook Guild were chasing. But ahead, people from Herb Garden had suddenly appeared. Tyrannical Ambition was instantly caught in a pincer attack.

"Element!" Ye Xiu called out.

The Elementalist quickly tossed a Fireball, resulting in an unquestionable OT. The Goblin Merchant hopped towards the Elementalist behind the tree on the right.

"He's doing it on purpose!!" Blue River and the others were now completely sure.

"Is he planning on escaping the encirclement from the east?" Bound Boat guessed.

"To the east." Blue River led the team diagonally towards the east, planning to seize the initiative.

"Don't be polite when you see Tyrannical Ambition's people!" Blue River instructed.

"Definitely not." Everyone expressed their stance.

The team slanted towards the east. Everyone was paying attention to behind the trees, hoping to pick off a Tyrannical Ambition player to warm up. But along the way, they could only pick off ordinary goblin mobs. They didn't see a single Tyrannical Ambition player. When Tyrannical Ambition's people occasionally showed their faces, they were even further away than the Goblin Merchant.

Blue Brook Guild changed direction. The Herb Garden players intercepting in front weren't willing to fall behind, and rushed towards the east road like they were racing against Blue Brook Guild's people.

Seeing these two both change course, Bound Boat was immediately startled. "Could it be a feint?"

Blue River also felt like they couldn't be careless. "Take some people and circle to the west!"

Bound Boat quickly chose a few players. Blue Brook Guild split into two groups, one group slanting towards the east to intercept, and one group slanting towards the west to prepare to intercept.

Herb Garden immediately made the same reaction, splitting off part of their players to slant towards the west road. Unknowing people would definitely think that these two guilds were in cahoots. But in reality, that wasn't the case at all. Both guilds were hoping for the other guild to make a thousand misjudgments.

The Goblin Merchant, rushing towards the Elementalist, suddenly suffered a knockback from behind a tree, sliding back a bit. Then, a gunshot rang out, and the Goblin Merchant hesitated and turned around again.

As expected, it was a feint. The players from Blue Brook Guild and Herb Garden thought to themselves as they watched the goblin rush straight towards Lord Grim in front of them.

Damn!

No one expected that the one who OTed to the aggro again would actually be Lord Grim. And this guy was still stubbornly running north. Although Herb Garden had just shown a tendency to divide their troops, it was still possible for them to recombine and block the enemy. Wouldn't continuing to run like this just be crashing into a brick wall?

"What tricks is he playing?" The players who liked to think were pondering Lord Grim's train of thought.

"He'll definitely change his route, right?" Some people thought.

Herb Garden had to think about this question more seriously. After all, they were the ones intercepting. East or west, or could they just wait where they were?

In the end, Car Front had no choice but to split his troops into three groups. He had to guard against every side. There was no way around it. The opponent could just OT whenever he wanted, and make the Goblin Merchant go wherever he wanted. They could only guard all three locations.

Which side will it be?

Everyone stared intently at the goblin's movements with this question in mind. In the end, they didn't see any changes. They just watched Lord Grim lead the Goblin Merchant straight towards Herb Garden's frontal interception.

There were also a dozen or so people from Herb Garden here. They immediately scattered into a fan shape to surround him. The ranged gunner-type players had already started to pull out their guns and fire, and the mages had begun to release spells.

Lord Grim suddenly jumped up. The gunners hurriedly adjusted their sights, but then they saw Lord Grim turn 180 degrees in the air, sticking his butt towards them.

Butts are butts! The gunners weren't picky. They quickly aimed their cursors.

A gunshot rang out.

The gunners admired him. Who was so fast to aim? Their mechanics were strong!

Then, they saw Lord Grim zip across the sky.

"Damn, it's his Flying Gun!!!" The gunners cried out in alarm. The greater the recoil of the gun during Flying Gun, the faster the speed. Lord Grim was using at least a rifle. The gunners raised their guns and fired, but they all missed. The target's movement was too fast, making it difficult to grasp.

In the blink of an eye, Lord Grim's butt was already above their heads. Then, they saw Lord Grim turn around.

A cold light flashed. Lord Grim drew his sword in mid-air.

"Silver Light Falling Blade! Dodge quickly!" The swordsman player reminded.

The judgement wasn't wrong. A streak of silver light had already slashed down from mid-air. It was the swordsman skill Silver Light Falling Blade.

These dozen or so players from Herb Garden weren't scrubs either. They all backstepped. The silver light landed, causing a small circle of light waves to erupt. The dozen or so people had already jumped out of the circle.

"Up!" Someone shouted. The moment the light waves faded, the dozen or so people charged up again.

Lord Grim swung his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. After the umbrella surface flipped upwards, it didn't maintain its spear form. A third of the way up the flipped umbrella bones suddenly folded, and the upper two-thirds of the umbrella bones bent down, resembling a sickle. At the same time, the umbrella handle popped out, as if a sharp sword was about to be drawn. But after two-thirds of it had been drawn, it stopped again, and only lengthened the umbrella handle by a bit.

All of these changes were completed in an instant. The players who surrounded him only felt a blur before their eyes. The weapon in Lord Grim's hand had already changed its appearance. It looked a bit strange and unorthodox, but the general shape of this weapon...

With a swing of his arm, Myriad Manifestations Umbrella drew a 360-degree circle on the ground around him. The moment the starting point connected with the ending point, the circle that had been drawn suddenly flashed with blue light.

"Damn!! Ascension Formation!!" A player finally shouted.

This time, it was finally too late for the surrounding people to dodge again. The circle that was rippling with blue light suddenly expanded inwards and outwards. A ring of faint blue light suddenly rose up. A dozen or so players happened to be standing within the range of the ring. They were unable to dodge in time and were blasted into the air by the blue light.

The Exorcist skill in the Cleric class: Ascension Formation.

The skill's effect was to inflict magical damage to the players within the Ascension Formation range and cause them to float in the air.

When the dozen or so people fell like dumplings after floating in the air, Lord Grim had already rushed past their interception. Some people were still trying their best to launch attacks at Lord Grim in mid-air, but attacking in a floating state required adjusting the camera and finding the right direction while both the enemy and themselves were constantly moving. This wasn't a simple operation, and not everyone could do it well. In the end, everyone's attacks were just doing their best, and didn't pose the slightest threat.

However, most of them completed the soft landing operation after landing, showing Herb Garden players' excellent qualities.

As a result, when they were doing somersaults to stand up, they all saw a grenade in the middle of their circle.

With a bang, the dozen or so people were once again blasted off their feet. Amidst the rolling smoke, the Goblin Merchant, carrying his satchel, elegantly passed through them.

Everyone was in tears. The Goblin Merchant's aggro couldn't possibly be on them. This grenade was obviously not meant for them. But this was clearly Lord Grim deliberately leading the Goblin Merchant to throw it there. Why was this Goblin Merchant so obliging? Couldn't you throw a brick at this time? Why did you have to throw a grenade with a large area of effect?
