Pillar of Yita

The actions of each person were different, yet coincidentally, it seemed that in an instant, the previously tight formation scattered.

After the incident at the inn, many people outside stopped to watch, and upon seeing this scene, they couldn’t help but collectively let out an ’Oh’.

Such a brilliant evasion could well warrant an exciting replay even in some second-level matches.

In fact, even Fang Hong himself was slightly surprised at the qualities of his team’s members when he looked back—he initially thought someone would get injured by that strike.

Luo Yu being a bit slow as a spellcaster was not surprising, but he himself was seasoned through numerous battles, facing many formidable foes alone wasn’t a first for him.

Thus, his sense of danger may not be innate, but the acquired training was enough for him to react in the nick of time to lead the team to avoid the attack.

However, the situation with others was somewhat different—

Xiangzi’s growth was somewhat stunning; he hasn’t been through many combats, especially the dangerous large battles, he’s nearly missed entirely.

Yet his on-the-spot performance in real battle was almost not inferior to Fang Hong at all.

Of course, this purely refers to Xiangzi’s awareness ability during the moment. In terms of true combat power, he’s still far behind compared to Fang Hong.

That’s already reflected enough during the usual sparring practices.

As for Luo Hao, that’s purely talent.

This big guy judged the Yinhanz’s fourth form attack accurately despite his low level, though possibly there was some gambling on luck involved, but undeniably, that’s still a part of strength.

And Xiangzi was a genius youth recommended to him by the Lonely White Field, so Fang Hong wasn’t surprised by his abilities. But the military’s addition of this big guy was an unexpected joy.

Coupled with Luo Yu, Gita, and a group of excellent spellcasters, Fang Hong thought, the Seven Seas Traveler has started taking shape.

Actually, previously, besides Eteliria, the Big Cat People, Xiesta, and Bakins among the natives, others had far too low power to engage in combat.

So he often had to fight solo.

In such situations, he inevitably somewhat neglected the team’s power. But now, Fang Hong felt a bit surprised.

It seems that going forward, he wouldn’t need to fight alone anymore.

Of course, these thoughts flashed through his mind briefly.

Because by now, Fang Hong had noticed the people outside watching—

Through the swirling dust, he looked that direction and realized those stopped Invokers might not have realized what’s happening in the hall yet.

They probably thought it was a usual brawl inside. After all, in Eteliria, especially in places like lodges and bars, such occurrences were ubiquitous.

Upon realizing this, Fang Hong was about to throw a Fire Giant towards the Alchemist to draw his attention. But at that moment, he suddenly heard a bang.

He looked in that direction and found a smoke bomb exploded there.

The Alchemist was caught somewhat off-guard, waved his hand, and alertly deployed a shield; the shield’s blue glowing mark behind the dust indicating his position.

Yet the Alchemist was quite arrogant, seemingly indifferent about exposing his location. Moreover, he didn’t rush to attack, as after the initial strike, he didn’t move again.

The next moment, the sharp voice of the Papalarian cried:

”Everyone charge, this man is a wanted criminal, worth five thousand Lycel!”

Upon hearing this, Fang Hong was taken aback.

Did Parker recognize the identity?

But he soon heard Luo Yu whisper beside him: ”He’s bluffing those people.”

Fang Hong was startled, realizing how unlikely it was for a Pseudo Dragon Knight to have only a five thousand Lycel bounty. Upon realizing this point, his face darkened.

He actually believed it just now.

However, it must be said; Parker did grasp human nature.

Five thousand Lycel is not a high bounty—but in such a public place, at the crowded center, the bounty feels like picking it up off the ground. The key is not the amount but the easiness.

Moreover, if the bounty was too high, others might not believe it. The number five thousand Lycel, instead, felt more reliable and realistic. After all, would a person carrying tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands Lycel bounty appear here?

And generally, the higher the bounty proves the target is more dangerous, which leads to hesitation in being the first to step forward.

But in this circumstance, a slight hesitation from the crowd would lead them to discover the truth. As once the dust settles, they will see the Hanz’s fourth form in the inn.

Rashly attacking a Pseudo Dragon Knight, only fools would do that.

And at this moment, upon hearing the cry, the crowd clearly stirred.

Simultaneously, as Parker shouted, the Alchemist obviously had a reaction; he turned his hand towards the direction of the sound. The Yinhanz’s fourth form let out a low hum, a light beam shot towards that direction targeting a cabinet.

The light beam smashed the wooden cabinet to pieces, wood splinters fluttered like butterflies and fell down, but there were no Papalarian behind it, only metal scraps.

He then turned and also reduced Fang Hong’s ’Fortress’ to component parts.

Fang Hong was initially managing two Flexible Constructs through the Crystal’s info transmission—adjusting the Clockwork Fairy’s wing angle state, the front narrow environment captured by Vision Crystal, the operation status of the ’Fortress’s’ balance mechanism.

The perspective through Wind Goggles flashed as a crossbeam came rushing, he timely issued a command, altered the vibration difference of the fairy’s upper and lower wings, letting it sink downward to avoid the obstacle.
