When she reappeared, she was already in another place, not far from the battlefield, but outside of Ye Zhongming and the others' ambush range.
Ailezeya did not stop for a moment and started running quickly in the direction of the captain. After a few seconds, she paused slightly and looked up at the sky, sending out a signal.
She hoped this signal could help those teammates she had abandoned, although... she felt no guilt about it.
Ye Zhongming naturally saw this fleeing woman, but he didn’t care. He only squinted when the woman used that gray mist to suddenly disappear and then reappear.
As for the comrades on Earth, he would leave that to Ji Rui Guang and the others.
On the battlefield, Ye Zhongming's squad had already completely seized the initiative. Originally, there were eleven in the target team, but five had been killed, one had escaped, and the remaining five were all injured, trapped in a small area.
The shield warrior from the Peak Clan felt that this battle was truly exhilarating, not because it had gone on for a long time or because it was a close match, but because it was easy.
It was really easy.
Logically speaking, the opponents were also nine-star evolvers, and their strength was basically on the same level. If they really fought head-on, the outcome was uncertain, but it would definitely be a fierce battle.
However, from the beginning, they had been at an absolute advantage.
Due to his racial traits, he was a shield warrior, responsible for defense both within and outside his tribe, essentially letting others do the attacking. But this time, he truly experienced the thrill of striking.
With two giant shields in hand, he whirled them around, causing the already panicked enemies to cry out in distress.
As for why it was his turn to attack, it was simply because Ye Zhongming's team was already engaged in combat, and if he didn’t fight, would he just stand by and watch?
Since he had agreed to join the "must win" plan, the Peak Clan warrior didn’t care about being a red name anymore; only points mattered, even a green name was fine.
He gathered his strength, aimed for an opportunity, and threw his right-hand shield forward, then charged in, bending low and following through.
A person who had been forced back by Ye Zhongming’s sword and was almost injured had bad luck, realizing too late that the shield was coming and couldn't dodge in time. He could only rely on his gear and the strength of a nine-star body to withstand it. First, he swung his weapon in hopes of reducing some force, but his weapon broke first. In a panic, he raised his upper body to block, only to have that break too.
When the shield slammed into him and fell, he began to topple over in excruciating pain. Unfortunately for him, the Peak Clan warrior did not give him a chance to fall; he charged into the now defenseless body, and the shoulder jab Ye Zhongming had created pierced through his opponent's chest, killing him instantly.
Watching his points surge by hundreds, the Peak Clan warrior seemed to be on steroids, howling as he rushed toward the next opponent.
If he got there late, he might miss everything.
After Ye Zhongming created an opportunity for this big guy, he stepped back.
These people indeed had a lot of points; killing one was equivalent to nearly a day's worth of hunting. However, he didn’t want to fight his teammates for points at this moment. At the initial phase of the plan, appropriately sharing some points and allowing these people to gain real benefits would greatly benefit the unity and morale of the team in the future.
The battle ended quickly. From the moment these enemies stepped into the ambush circle to the last person falling, it only took about two minutes. The combination of traps, ranged attacks, and segmented tactics had left them overwhelmed, and with the strongest member directly fleeing, the remaining ones posed little trouble.
One person was seriously injured but still alive, not because everyone didn’t want to kill him, but because there had been no opportunity during the fight. No one could abandon their position just to specifically kill someone who was obviously dying; that would raise suspicions of stealing points and would disrupt the integrity of the encirclement.
