That mercenary was not the only one who made such a move. Soon, the crowd saw the remaining two mercenaries also run out of the smoke and scrambling to jump out of the ring. They chose to forfeit and surrender. Unlike those who previously chose to surrender because of their incompetence, these mercenaries behaved so positively as if they were going to seize victory. Even more puzzling was that they did not say a word and quickly ran away without a trace. They didn't even give the others the chance to laugh at them.
Not only were spectators surprised, but even Rhode was too. He knew that Randolf was going to experiment with his new equipment, but everything escalated so fast that it was beyond his expectations. In fact, Rhode even had some doubts because judging by the faces of those three mercenaries, they were not hurt at all. The equipment that Lapis made was supposed to not have any effect towards one's mentality, but the three of them actually surrendered so quickly.
