Chapter 327 - 195: Captain, That’s Him!
Seeing this scene, Raine’s lips curled into a slight smile.
It seemed his luck was good today. Although both sides did not arrive simultaneously, the arrival times were not too far apart.
Additionally, Hayley’s previous judgment was indeed correct. Before the Bonebiters squad was annihilated at the Ice Lake, they did use a long-distance signal stone to send a message.
Otherwise, it’s impossible for the other party to arrive so quickly.
After all, as per the plan, they should have arrived around noon tomorrow, and the number of people also supported this point.
Only one person came from their side, a Transcendent.
This meant it was either ’Winter’s Shield’ Olaf or the Secret Master Sarno, and from the looks of it, it should be the former.
"It’s an Extraordinary Warrior," Meredith whispered beside him.
The other party was aggressive and imposing, and Meredith naturally noticed immediately.
"But Raine, the other party is Transcendent. The Frost Giants might not engage directly, right? What should we do later?"
Raine nodded, as he had already considered this point.
Although he borrowed Olaf’s appearance, there were still some discrepancies in aura. If both sides could calmly communicate, naturally there would be no conflict.
But the problem was, the Frost Giant squad leader had just lost his brother; how much patience would he have to listen to explanations?
Moreover, Raine planned to further fan the flames later.
"Meredith, I’ll cast Advanced Invisibility Spell on you now. Then you will lurk behind the Frost Giant squad. Once the two sides attempt contact, immediately attack an Ogre from behind."
"If you have any area attack spell-like abilities, use them simultaneously. Once you finish casting, don’t linger in battle, retreat immediately."
Upon hearing this, Meredith’s beautiful eyes lit up, immediately understanding Raine’s entire plan.
A cold, alluring smile appeared on her face, unable to resist teasing, "Raine, I didn’t expect you to be so insidious."
"I always thought we Drow Elves would be more cunning than you humans, but now it seems not necessarily so."
"How can this be called insidious? It’s strategy," Raine slightly raised his lowered voice, trying to correct her.
At this moment, the Frost Giant squad noticed Olaf’s movements, and simultaneously, Olaf, as a Transcendent, naturally spotted the Frost Giant squad ahead, immediately slowing his pace.
"Frost Giants?" Olaf’s thick brows furrowed slightly, his eyes narrowed.
Frost Giants are a powerful race; even a regular Frost Giant has a Challenge Level of eight.
Moreover, judging by the posture of the leading Frost Giant, he seemed to be a Frost Giant Captain—that would be Challenge Level ten, nearly able to match Olaf.
But Olaf seemed to recall something, retracted his gaze, and looked at the two rows of footprints ahead, noticing that the footprints led directly to the current position of the Frost Giant squad.
’Could it be the ones who killed the Bonebiters are cooperating with the Frost Giants?’
This thought raised a thread of doubt in Olaf’s mind.
Though he strongly believed in power and might, he was no fool. When facing an evenly matched opponent, he decided to communicate first.
As Olaf was observing the Frost Giants,
On the Frost Giant squad’s side, Lemgar, who once acted alongside the deceased Frost Giant Borg, recognized Olaf’s appearance and his eyes, as large as fists, widened as he shouted:
"Captain, it’s him!"
"He’s the one who killed Borg!"
Yet, after speaking, Lemgar had some doubts, such as—
’Why does the other party’s aura seem stronger?’
’And the Shield looks slightly different. Could it be that it was his brother who killed Borg earlier?’
But soon, Lemgar’s eyes turned firm again.
After all, if it was the brother who did it, having the elder brother pay the price doesn’t seem a problem!
Hearing Lemgar’s words, Olaf was momentarily stunned.
However, as he got closer, he also saw several large corpses near the geothermal hot spring, shrouded in white steam, including both Ogres and Frost Giants.
This caused Olaf’s pupils to contract as he immediately realized something.
Thus, he intended to explain well to the Frost Giants before him.
"Wait... "
But just as Olaf uttered two words, a scream came from the rear of the Frost Giant squad as an Ogre clutched his neck and fell to the ground.
A slender hooded figure darted swiftly towards another Ogre, instantly igniting the already tense situation like a powder keg with its fuse lit!
Lemgar, who was all too familiar with this scene, roared, "Despicable human, another sneak attack!"
Usually, Frost Giant Captain Tollesk might ask a few more questions.
But at this moment, the rage from losing his younger brother had long reached a peak in his heart, and with Lemgar’s confirmation, he was eighty percent convinced.
He decided that as long as the other party admitted to killing his brother, he would immediately order an onslaught, even if it meant casualties when fighting a human Transcendent.
And now, with the sneak attack and Lemgar’s shout of ’another sneak attack,’ it was the final straw that broke the last bit of hesitation in Tollesk’s heart.
He decided not to negotiate with the human Transcendent opposite him anymore.
After all, since the other party had already initiated a sneak attack, what was left to say!
