Mercenary System: I can increase innate potential !-Chapter 164: Retreat!
On the battlefield, they were afraid of no one!
The other mercenaries followed their example, and showed exemplary courage!
This made Kaelor swear:
"Damn, are these humans immortal or what? And above all, why are they so strong?"
He himself was blocked by Kaite, Andrew and Laura.
The latter was looking at him with eyes as if he’d killed his whole family, which made him feel strange.
The Shibuyas began to take events very seriously!
They also summoned their men, whom they kept as a hidden map, and helped block the Dravaks!
At the same time, some of them went to Leïla, who was still unconscious on the ground.
When these Shibuya saw her face, they exploded with anger.
Indeed, her face had been partially disfigured by the flames!
Obviously, during her fight, she had seen Oscar’s shot coming, but hadn’t had time to dodge it completely.
It was also for this reason that she was still alive, for if the ultra-fast fireball had hit her face completely, she’d already be dead!
Unfortunately, she was still completely unconscious.
"Medical unit manager, why isn’t she waking up?"
One of the Shibuya with glasses, quickly examined Leïla’s condition.
But his face clearly showed that the news was very bad.
"That ball of flame must have caused a violent brain trauma, so, let alone waking up now, she could remain in a vegetative state for the rest of her life."
"What!?"
"Our boss is now totally disabled!?"
The doctor nodded heavily.
"The impact alone wouldn’t have such an effect, but the extreme heat of the fireball has penetrated our leader’s brain, worsening her condition."
At this point, these elite mercenaries, having traversed many battlefields, showed why they could sit at the same table as entire regiments!
As the elite Shibuya mercenaries redoubled their efforts to protect their unconscious captain, a strange tension pervaded the battlefield.
The Shibuya’s rage, fanned by the sight of their unconscious captain, raised the intensity of the fighting to a new level.
Kaelor, locked in an epic duel with Kaite, Andrew and Laura, sensed that things were getting out of hand.
Luminous portals continued to open, and elite fighters emerged from them, each equipped with modern weapons and armor unlike the Saber-toothed Tigers !
Suddenly, there were over 1000 humans fighting against the remaining 2000 Dravaks!
Of course, there were also many casualties among both the Saber-toothed Tigers and the Shibuya!
But this was a battlefield!
"Don’t let any Dravak escape! Show them why we’re considered an elite unit!" roared Edgar, one of the 3 leaders of the Shibuya.
His appearance, like that of many other Shibuya, was truly frightening.
He was literally covered in blood, his armor shattered in many places.
But he was still fighting valiantly against the Dravaks, who always came in numbers.
At the same time, Kaelor was unable to turn the tide and could only temporarily turn a blind eye to the traitor and the young human who had long since escaped!
He could only hope that the men he had sent would be enough to kill the traitor and finish off the young human!
If such a genius went on living, it would be a disaster for all the races in their Delta universe!
And he didn’t think he was exaggerating!
On yellow-level battlefields, he had seen many human geniuses!
And all his suppositions usually proved to be true, which was why, as soon as he detected a human genius, he would do anything to kill them!
His superiors might not see the military merit he had achieved, but in his conscience, he knew that thanks to his actions, he was making an impact on higher-level dimensional battlefields!
And that satisfied him greatly!
Meanwhile, Kaite, Andrew and Laura were combining forces to stop him!
Even an elite Dravak like him, who’d roamed the battlefields for many years and reached the position of regimental commander, was in trouble!
Not to mention his soldiers, who had to join forces to hold back even one of the young blond human’s elite mercenaries.
However, when he noticed that only about twenty of the mercenaries were truly experienced, he breathed a sigh of relief.

If all 100 mercenaries were endowed with significant combat experience, it would really be too frightening.
"Hold the lines and keep wearing these humans down!" he shouted in Dravak-speak mid-fight.
"More regiments are coming towards our position soon and then we can kill all these human elites!"
"Once we’ve killed these humans, you’ll all be greatly rewarded!"
The Dravaks howled with joy in response, and increased the intensity of their attacks!
With these orders alone, their fighting power had suddenly increased, putting many a Shibuya to the sword!
This was the influence a good commander could have on the battlefield!
However, of the 3 Shibuya leaders, Sophia understood the Dravak language.
And she just happened to be nearby.
"Edgar, Lucien, the Saber-toothed Tigers!"
Her voice suddenly attracted the other 2 leaders who were in the middle of a fight, as well as the Saber-toothed Tigers.
"We’re no good!"
Andrew, though a stranger to this world, understood that their situation could quickly turn dramatic upon hearing this woman’s dramatic tone.
"What’s going on?" shouted Andrew as he continued to fight with Kaelor.
The other two leaders in the fight were equally curious.
Sophia violently slit the throat of her Dravak opponent, then announced the news:
"The Dravaks are about to receive help from other regiments!"
Everyone’s expressions paled, whether Saber-toothed Tigers or Shibuya.
They really could all die here if that was the case!
Right now, they were barely managing to balance the battlefield when they were outnumbered by one of the Delta Universe’s top 10 races!
And that was only possible because there were plenty of monsters among the Saber-toothed Tigers and the Shibuya, who displayed fighting power well beyond a yellow-level battlefield.
Indeed, the Shibuya also had many geniuses!
These geniuses were loath to join the army, preferring instead to join mercenary groups that allowed them greater freedom.
But whether it was the Saber-toothed Tiger monsters or the Shibuya geniuses, it was impossible to ask more of them!
Andrew’s brain began to race.
Since joining the Saber-toothed Tigers, he’d never really been able to exercise his role as deputy chief.
Fortunately, although Maxime had never said anything about it, everyone considered him as such.
And today was his first day, apart from the attack on Plouta, when the situation was critical and Maxime wasn’t there!
So he had to make a decision!
A huge weight called "responsibility" fell on his shoulders.
He quickly observed his colleagues, especially those from Plouta.
Of the 100 mercenaries, only ten or so died during the few minutes of fierce fighting.
All were low-potential mercenaries from Plouta.
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
The high-end power was still completely intact.
Looking around quickly, he spotted a few talents from Plouta.
Three in particular.
Two of them were called Ivan and Wigor, but the third was unknown.
Just, he had a very strange way of fighting, but it worked surprisingly well.
"I remember that the chief had already told me about a certain Liam who had the same potential as me, but that he turned out to be a disappointment because he progressed so slowly."
"So slowly, in fact, that he was even inferior to some mercenaries who started out with 1-star potential."
"Maybe that’s him?"
But Andrew didn’t dwell on it, especially as he also had to be careful that Kaite and Laura didn’t get hurt against Kaelor.
But no matter how he spun it, he couldn’t see a plan that would get them all out of this situation.
These Dravaks all had wings!
How could they escape from such a race in the midst of hand-to-hand combat and outnumbered?
But Andrew eventually came up with a plan.
"Shibuya listen to me!"
Many Shibuya took a quick glance at the young man with the red hair.
But no one dared to underestimate him despite his young age, for he had been displaying formidable power ever since he appeared!
They also guessed that this young man must be an important mercenary for the blond-haired young man who had just killed a Dravak with an awakened bloodline!
"Our Saber-toothed Tigers will hold the mighty Dravaks here!"
"Retreat in the meantime!"
Edgar, Lucien and Sophia opened their eyes wide upon hearing this.
When in their lives had someone told them to run away while he went to hold back the enemies?
It was the Shibuyas!
They were usually the ones in charge of this task!
"Impossible! We’re an elite unit, no matter how many Dravaks come, we’ll kill them all one after the other!" replied Edgar immediately.
Shouts of Shibuya mercenaries came from all directions in response to Edgar’s words.
"That’s right!"
"Nobody here is afraid of death!"
"Those birds should be afraid of us!"
...
Indeed, an elite unit could maintain excellent morale in any situation.
These men were definitely fierce.
Many Dravaks were even intimidated, although they didn’t understand what was being said.
Just these humans were too scary.
Much scarier than the humans they were used to facing!
"You idiot!" shouted Andrew when he heard all this.
