Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Protecting the Vehicle (2)

Using the opportunity provided by Vincent. The caption quickly ordered everyone to strengthen their defenses even further.

As for Myles and Dark Knight, they quickly charged towards their respective positions. Vincent kept open firing then, not caring about preserving the ammunition. However, just as Vincent was about to follow Myles and Dark Knight, a voice resounded through his ears.

"Join the other gunners" The caption exclaimed.

However, Vincent was a bit disappointed knowing that he wouldn't be able to fight alongside his friend. He knew that this was not the time for these thoughts.

Hence, he nodded his head in approval and followed his orders. Vincent quickly made his way towards the gunners.

As for Myles and Dark Knight, they didn't pay much attention to this. Their eyes were focused on the enemies.

The enemies had already started to coordinate with one another even though Vincent had only stopped firing for 5 seconds at maximum!!

It probably meant that they were very good at team fights which they were severely lacking!!

"We need to quickly get to our post" Myles exclaimed, his voice carrying seriousness.

Dark Knight nodded his head and continued his charge. Just a few seconds later, they finally reached their post safely. Upon reaching the post, Myles carefully scanned his surroundings before suggesting the best strategy for Dark Knight.

Right in front of him, 4 thieves were standing in front of him. 2 of them had guns, one of them had a spear, and another one had dual daggers.

Just by finding out what kind of weapons they used, Myles was able to form the most effective strategy.

"Dark Knight, since you possess a big shield, it will be better if you try to take out the gunners," Myles said, only loud enough for Dark Knight to hear.

"I can try but are you sure you can take on the other one?" Dark Knight asked.

"Well, as long as you don't give the gunners no time to attack me," Myles replied.

"All right," Dark Knight said.

Myles just smiled upon hearing this, he diverted his full attention back to his enemies

They didn't attack immediately, it was like they were waiting for an order.

Though warily, he knew that the enemies wouldn't attack before receiving an order.

Hence, he diverted his attention towards his allies.

The gunners, including Vincent, had positioned themselves in a place where they could maximize their firing skills.

As for the physical conditions of his teammates, they weren't looking too good. Three of them were seriously injured, so much so that even fighting was very difficult.

The ones with the most injuries were close combatants. Since they had to fight at the frontlines, it was normal for them to be more injured than the gunners.

The other members also suffered from varying degrees of injuries.

However, everyone was forced to brace for combat regardless of their injuries. This was the consequence of not having a doctor on their team!!

These circumstances taught Myles a very important lesson!

"Having a doctor in a team fight is a must," Myles thought to himself.

Just as he was thinking about this, a powerful voice resounded through his ears. This caused him to snap out of his trance.

"All closer combatants rush towards our enemies to crush them!! Gunners provide support for us from the ear!!" The caption let out a war cry as he charged forward.

Upon hearing this, both Myles and Dark Knight knew that the battle had begun. They looked ahead of them and saw that their enemies were also prepared to fight.

The guns of the gunners were pointed towards them while the melee combatants prepared to charge forward.

Without giving them a chance to attack first, both Myles and Dark Knight charged forward.

Myles let Dark Knight charge forward first. According to the strategy beforehand, Dark Knight will block all the incoming bullets. Hence, he let the Dark Knight stay in front of him.

Just a few seconds later, the gunners opened fire at them.

"Dark Knight tries to block every single bullet" Myles shouted, his voice carrying seriousness.

Dark Knight didn't respond but Myles knew that he was trying his best to block all the incoming bullets. The proof you may?

Almost no bullets were making their way toward Myles!!

As Myles charged forward, he saw the two of the close-range combatants charging towards Dark Knight at an incredible speed.

"Don't even think about it!" Myles exclaimed as he channeled the man

Just from their actions, he understood their intentions! The Dark Knight was planning to take out the gunner who provided a considerable amount of support to them!

Hence, taking out the dark knight was much more important than taking him out. Though, he had no intention of letting them succeed. Hence, he channeled mana into his boots.

His boots began to glow, signaling the activation of the skill supercharge.

(You have activated the skill super charge)

(Your speed stats have increased by 5 times)

(Your mana has decreased by 20 points

Current Available Mana: 29)

(Current Charge: 60%

1 hour was enough for his mana to recover to its peak condition. As for the charge, though, it was low. He believed he could defeat his enemies in 10 minutes by utilizing his superior speed.

Without giving it a second thought, Myles charged towards his enemies. In a matter of a few seconds, he appeared in front of the enemies.

Hence, blocking the path to get to the dark knight. Myles was around 70 cm from him and the distance was rapidly decreasing.

"If I swing my sword, the chance of landing a bit is very high," Myles thought to himself.

Myles swung his sword by 180 degrees knowing that the enemy probably wouldn't be able to react fast enough to stop.

Just a few seconds later, a loud metallic sound was produced as the enemy's spear collided with Myles' blade.

Though his guess about him not being able to halt his steps was right. His guess about his reaction time being slow was severely wrong!

Nonetheless, Myles tried his best to push him backward, but he was barely moving, no matter how much he tried!

"He's strong," Myles thought to himself.

He tried his best to push him backwards but he wasn't even budging! As he tried his best to push him backward, he saw from the corner of his eyes the one wielding a dual dagger was planning to stab his left side!

"Shit" Myles cursed as his mind began to race.
