Oh Mr General!

39. Triple Threat Guild

"It is ok, brother. If these strangers do not want to help us, I will still protect you till the very end! I will never let you get injured, let alone die!" Gray played along as the protective brother.

"Brother! Waaaaaa..." Sato ran into Gray's embrace as he 'shivered' in fear.

Seeing the little boy becoming this frightened, twisted the heartstrings in the five man team's heart. They couldn't help, but feel guilty for wanting to leave those two alone.

"Okay okay! My team shall lead you out of the plains and back to a spawn point!" The Knight leader changed his mind.

"Yeah! My big brother will do as he promises! Don't cry anymore, little boy." The shaman comforted Sato.

"Th..thank you." Sato sobbed lesser.

"Let's go now. It will probably take around an hour to reach the spawn point at the Marshes." The leader said. There is no spawn points in the Fiery Plains.

The group walked cautiously, not wanting to stir any trouble from the beasts in the plains. However, they soon realised their worries was unfounded. Ever since the two brothers had joined their group, no beasts have ambushed them. They were like a walking lucky charm.

"Let me introduce my team to you. I am the leader, Harry, a knight player. These two warriors are Jeff and Ryan. The shaman is my brother, Samuel and the mage is Grace." Harry introduced. "What are your names?"

"My little bro's name is Willy. My name is Gareth. Willy is 13 this year. He hit puberty a little bit early." Gray placed an arm around Sato's shoulder as he introduced Sato. When Sato heard his 'name', he immediately pinched Gray on the waist. Why did you pick Willy of all names???

The five members were forcing themselves to keep a straight face when they heard Sato's name. Willy? What kind of parents would allow their child to be called a slang word for penis?!?!

The group eventually reached the marshlands map. Unfortunately, they were stopped by a group of 10 players.

"Under the mercy of my young master, drop your weapons and leave now!" A man dressed in assassin armour shouted at Sato's group. There was a man that was cladded in golden armour, sitting on a tree stump, fiddling with his blade. His equipments were high grade for sure.

"And why should we listen to you?" Leader Harry spoke out.

"Because if you don't you shall die under the hands of the Triple Threat Guild!" The Triple Threat Guild were truly notorious. They dared to rebel and PK against other gamers.

Harry grimaced as he thought about what he should do. If it were just his team, they would most likely be able to run away from this group of 20. However, he now had a Lv20 and 40, which he promised to protect. What should I do? Abandon them? Or fight to the very end?

"You should run away, Harry. Take your team with you." Gray spoke confidently as he drew his rapier. "I'll hold them back."

"But, that would leave your brother and you to die. We promised to help you out." Harry realised that Gray was not a selfish person, for he was willing to sacrifice his life for strangers. "Samuel stand back and heal everyone. Willy stand beside my brother, he will protect you. The rest of us, fight!"

The average team power for Harry's group was Lv65. It was already pretty high for a guildless team. On the other hand, this young master group's average Level was Lv55, yet they had the numbers advantage. It was 20 against 7.

"Insolent players! Everyone! Kill them and acquire their equipment for me!" The snobby young master shouted out as he continued to sit on the tree stump.

"Stick to our usual formation!" Harry gave the orders. The fight broke out with each player handling around 4 enemies. Gray excitedly lunged forward using Swiftstrike to instantly lower the enemy Warrior's health. His additional stat bonus allowed him to be around the same Level as the enemies. Even Harry's team was shocked by Gray's strength.

Two assassins sneaked behind Samuel and Sato. Though Samuel was oblivious of their presence, Sato noticed the slight rustles in the dead leaves on the ground.

Sato used Blink, appearing several meters away from Samuel. It may look like nobody was there, yet Sato striked the air, hitting the enemy assassin's back.

"Argh! How?" The enemy was stunned at the Lv20 assassin's intuition. In addition, his strength was comparable to a Lv50.

Sato quickly kicked away from the assassin, throwing dagger throw. It inflicted critical strike and grievous wounds. The other assassin noticed Sato's threat and immediately turned to help him ally.

Sato used advanced stealth and hid amongst the dead trees. The assassins had no choice, but to be extra careful. The commotion from Sato's fight gave Samuel time to position himself away from the assassins. Samuel was shocked at Sato's fighting skill. A Lv20 is able to lower a Lv50 player's health by so much?

Standing on a tree stump, Sato awaited his next moment to strike. Sato was felt rather annoyed. Thanks to these pieces of crap that ruined his plan, he was not able to head to the spawn point without any conflict.

Sato listened closely for the movements of the assassins. Since they couldn't find him, naturally, they would go for the Shaman. The fight went on for several minutes with the 5 man team gradually winning. This was all thanks to Sato as the assassins were playing hide and seek with him.

"God dammit! This Lv20 assassin is putting too much pressure on us. Why not we just stick today and kill that guy first?" The injured assassin suggested to his accomplice.

"Alright. Let's go with that then." The assassins unstealthed as they ran through the forest together, in search of Sato. Noticing their change of targets, Sato thought of a plan to win this fight.
