Mercenary - 69 Chapter 69- Run Away!

“What do we do!?”, Arctus asked frantically.

Reagan laughed condescendingly.

“Isn’t it obvious, Mr. knight? This is where you give up your pride and make a run for it.”

There was no way the knights at their current level could handle the warriors who fought for the surfacers. Even the elves were mere captives acting as surfacers. If the plot between Dubs and Rilia were to fail, both parties would most likely face a grim future.

Regardless of trust, both were bound by fear to succeed.

The elven warriors were the first to accept Reagan’s words. They dashed off, up the slope. It wasn’t exactly a safe bet, but if Dubs and Rilia were at the top they would at least be able to make it to them.

The danger of heading upwards, as opposed to fleeing to the town was that if Dubs was not powerful enough to defeat the soldiers, there would be no solution. They would be cornered like rats.

The other issue was that if Dubs was still inside the prison, they would not end up meeting up with Dubs or Rilia, and would also be cornered.

Even so, the two elves took off.

“The woman is right! Lets go!”, one shouted back. Reagan followed them in a hurry, and after a reluctant pause the other knights began to run as well.

“I am uncomfortable with this dishonorable method, however Lady Reagan is right. There is no choice here but to retreat and hope for backup. I will continue to train myself under Duke Alt and with the enhancements Dubs provides in the long run I will become stronger…”, Arctus thought.

“Not so fast.”, the arrogant soldier smiled, as he began to perform a spell. A grid of green values and rotating circles of different radius lengths formed in front of one of the mans eyes, as he exclaimed ‘[Enhance sight]!’ He then continued his chanting and in his hand a spear of fire began to take form.

“[Flaming Spear].”

The man threw the spear of fire at a tremendous speed, and it escalated the ramp of the tower in a mere second.

Aiming for Reagan, who was close to the front of the party, Reagan turned around swiftly and reached into the pocket of her lab coat. She took out a bottle, and in the span of an instant threw the glass container up to hit the flaming spear.

The glass container broke open and a flurry of blue particles engulfed the spear, and when they collided the particles disappeared.

“Ah, ah. What a pest. You made me use up my precious water based antimatter solution. It looks like I can’t let you go after such an offense as to disrupt my research…”

Reagan had a glint of excitement in her eyes as she reached for another item inside her labcoat.

She pulled out a plastic bag with what looked like a tiny crossbow inside, loaded with a small needle. The needle had a green liquid on the tip, dripping off of it.

“It isn’t a good idea to mess with a mad scientist…”
