Chapter 277: How to Protect What Is Precious (1)
The moment Keter appeared, Jordic’s heart pounded as if it were about to burst, but he forced himself to look around.
This lunatic! He really came alone?
There was no need for Jordic to give any orders; knights were already surrounding them, and the commander of the Grand Corps had joined the moment he sensed Keter’s presence.
Though Keter had shown up out of nowhere, none of them panicked. In war, every situation must be anticipated; that was the essence of strategy and tactics. Naturally, they had already prepared a response for the possibility of Keter charging in alone.
Two six-star Grandmasters would hold the front and rear. Behind them, five-star knights would form a second encirclement, and those below four-star would create the third layer, with the three-star knights forming the outermost ring.
The entire sequence was so clean and flawless that within the blink of an eye, a perfect encirclement had formed around Keter.
Keter looked at the perfectly sealed encirclement. He looked impressed with how much Jordic had prepared.
However, Keter’s relaxed expression made Jordic bite his lower lip hard enough to draw blood.
“Did you come here to talk?” Jordic asked.
Jordic was pointing his spear at Keter, but he did not strike first. That wasn’t because he wanted to talk, nor because Arbold was held hostage.
Ten minutes. I just have to endure it for ten minutes. Then the Grandmasters from the left and right wings will arrive.
Bydent was going to use all they had to crush Keter. That too was part of the plan.
