Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger! - Chapter 888

Chapter 888: Siege of Valenzia (2)
“Push! They’re on their last legs!” exclaimed Commander Hurkan at the south gate with a frown.

The Alicia Unit and the Grover Unit had long since broken through the gates they were attacking.

Yet, the Hurkan Unit still had not, falling behind by three minutes now from their expected objective completion time.

This was not good.

While this delay would not directly cause the operation to fail, it increased the risk of exposure to danger, as it also gave the opposing side more time to respond to their attack.

Blas’ reinforcements proved to be a bit too challenging for the Hurkan Elites to steamroll.

Nonetheless, the city lord’s small reinforcement of five hundred eventually fell, and Blas himself barely managed to escape with his life.

But he bought precious time for the reinforcements to arrive.

Although the Hurkan Unit finally broke through and now sprinted unhindered across the vast streets in the southern area of Valenzia City, they were still quite a distance away from the city square.

Moreover, the communication room remained uncaptured, allowing the opponent to confirm that it was still safe for reinforcements from other regions to teleport through the city square’s teleportation formation.

Azure lights descended from the skies one after another, materializing into WAA agents of varying physiques.

Some were tall and slim, others small yet muscular, some tall and muscular, while others were short and fragile, among many other variations.

However, they all shared one common trait: an aura of dependability.

A total of thirty agents had arrived, but none of them pleased Director Belford.

*BANG!*

The old man hammered his hand onto his luxurious wooden desk, gritting his teeth in frustration as he watched his requested reinforcements through a clear holographic screen inside his office.

“Curses! Those selfish bastards!!” he roared.

Based on the insignias on their capelets, all regions answered the call and sent reinforcements, but infuriatingly, none sent heroes.

Titled adventurers and champions were by no means weak.

However, most of them only fell into the category of squad captains and vice commanders of the Hadean Varsa forces.

Four elite terrorist units, along with thousands of raiders, were attacking Valenzia City, which meant that there were four commanders, and Belford stated this clearly while asking for reinforcements.

Valenzia only had Elysia to hold the fort.

They knew…

The other directors knew this all too well, yet they still refused to send even a single hero to help his capital withstand the onslaught.

Did they fear that their own capitals might also be attacked, or did they already know they were next in line?

In any case, those bastards—including Hale—had broken the oath to aid one another in times of need.

Naturally, Belford, as the betrayed party, was filled with fury.

With anger consuming his heart, the old Valenzian director once again picked up his mana communicator and dialed furiously.

***

The WAA agents from the other regions quickly dispersed and climbed atop establishments, hoping to get a good grasp of the situation.

This was their first mission upon arrival.

As instructed by their directors, they were to immediately assess the situation. If it appeared that heroes were needed, they were to call back and request reinforcements.

The other directors were definitely not betraying Belford and Valenzia.

It was just that they were all too familiar with how those who were attacked tended to exaggerate things and overrequest reinforcements, and since Hadean Varsa was skilled at diversion and reinforcement baiting, the other directors had to be cautious when sending their men.

After all, they could be left defenseless against an attack of a larger scale.

They were, in a way, being selfish, but most certainly within the realms of morality.

The agents soon spotted monsters within all four units, especially in the one currently trapped in a red cube, where they were being shot down by mana turrets and attacked on all sides by Elysia Iceborne of the Eternal Frost and a force of WAA elite guards.

Given how their commanders, captains, and elites were moving, it was only a matter of time before the red cube collapsed.

They were certain they couldn’t stop such terrifying enemies by themselves.

They also weren’t sure if Elysia and her elites could handle such beasts alone.

Without hesitation, they pulled out their mana communicators and made the call that Belford so desperately needed.

***

…”Die, scum!”

A cold voice echoed from above a chaotic street in Valenzia City.

Outside the red cube, which seemed to allow only entry and not exit, a meteor of ice descended upon Ian and his men.

The apocalyptic projectile’s size almost encompassed the entire red cube, and if nothing could stop its horrifying drop, the Black Dawn Unit would be wiped out.

Ian merely snorted in disdain at Elysia’s attack.

Having been on the receiving end of multiple betrayals, the vice commander found it difficult to bond deeply with anyone other than his old friends from Colzen Academy.

The Valenzian Mage Heroine certainly didn’t stir any emotions in his heart.

Had Shye allowed it, he would have slit Elysia’s throat without hesitation.

But first, he had to defend his elites from the descending glacial meteor.

Ian performed a series of complex hand seals.

The next moment, eerie shadows extended from his own, turning into tangible darkness that formed a thin barrier above the unit.

It looked so frail that Captain Hylos and the former Cobra elites couldn’t help but doubt whether it would hold.

To their bewilderment, the thin layer of darkness not only held but also absorbed the entire meteor, sending it back toward Elysia the next moment with fierce momentum.

The red cube allowed only entry and not exit, however, so the meteor crashed against its translucent crimson walls, causing huge cracks to appear upon impact.

Soon, the red cube shattered along with the glacial meteor, sending shards of crimson and bluish-white flying toward the Valenzian Mage Hero and a few of her elites.

The Black Dawn Unit was now free, stirring frustration and a hint of fear in the hearts of the defenders and some of their leaders.
