Chapter 329 A Clever Scheme
"Let's go everyone, kill her!" Honey Barbie immediately gave the order when Ye Ci was Stunned.
But March Spring was worried, "I think we should keep some of our men behind..."
But he was cut off mid sentence by Honey Barbie, "Spring, I'm the one in charge today. We failed to defeat Fleeting Time last time because of your failure. Don't drag me down along with you. I'm the captain, and you're just a team member. I hope you can listen to my command!"
March Spring frowned at the girl. She was popular in the guild because of her cute looks, but her character was despicable at times. There was nothing he could do but to obey her command.
A team leader in Golden Era had absolute authority during a mission. But their authority also meant that they were entirely responsible for the success or failure of the mission. Due to his failure to assassinate Fleeting Time, March Spring was demoted by two ranks. It did not affect his salary, but it was still a humiliation for him.
Of course, he knew that such an arrangement was made to maintain the morale within the group, and he did not harbor any anger or dissatisfaction against Breeze and Death Blossom. The only thing he could do was to work his best to redeem himself so that he could regain his rank.
He volunteered for the mission to assassinate Gongzi You. But he could feel an unease in his heart. He had a feeling that the mission would have an outcome even worse than their fight against Fleeting Time. However, with Honey Barbie ignoring his words, there was nothing he could do but execute her command.
Honey Barbie was pleased when March Spring relented. He had originally held the same position, but was demoted due to his failure. But her success would surely bring promotion. And the excitement of that thought made her even more eager to close the gap between her and Gongzi You to finish the job.
It was all within Ye Ci's calculations. Her movement speed was 3.0, while the monsters pursuing her had the movement speed of 2.5.
And after running in circles around the forest, she had put some distance between herself and the monsters. It would take at least 5 seconds for the monsters to catch up, while it would take only 4 seconds for the Rogues to reach her location. The success of her plan hinged on what happened in the next 1 or 2 seconds.
Ye Ci might be nervous if it was her first time pulling off such a maneuver. But this was not her first. It was something that she had practiced and put to good use time and time again in her last life. She knew what must be done even when this was the first time she pulled it off in her current life. She was excited.
And the only thing she could do was to try her best to calm herself down.
The leading Rogues were almost upon Ye Ci. Their daggers soared across the air, but the target disappeared just before they could hit their mark.
But the 4 leading Rogues could not cancel their skill once they were casted. The sudden disappearance of their targets meant that their attacks hand landed on the monsters behind Gongzi You.
For the sake of dealing the maximum amount of damage to Gongzi You in the shortest time, all of the skills that were released were high damage skills with high aggro. And even with the level penalty between the lvl60 players and the high level mobs, they were still able to attract the aggro of the monsters.
The 4 Rogues were dead in a matter of seconds.
Honey Barbie was stunned by the sudden turn of events. But as a seasoned veteran, she was able to quickly recover from the shock and react to the change. The order was immediately given for the rest of the group to enter Stealth so that the aggro of the monsters will not shift towards them.
