When Eto's healing was finished and Neil Anderson's condition stabilized, support arrived from the kingdom delegation.
“Harold, I leave Lord Anderson to you.”
“Yes, Nils-san. Leave it to me!”
The support team consisted of three people from "Room 11."
Harold and Gowan were considerable combatants.
Even though Neil Anderson's magical power flow was still disturbed, as he had removed his helmet, Priest Zeek was there in case anything happened to him.
Captain Hugh McGrath's choice of "Room 11" was indeed precise.
“Which way should we go, right or left?”
Eto asked the three.
Right and left?
Currently, the magical power extraction alchemy tools set up beneath the audience seats where the Central Nations delegation was located had been stopped.
However, while observing from the audience seats, it looked like the guests from the dark continent were also in a similar situation as the delegation, albeit from a distance.
The guests from the dark continent were divided into two groups: those from the Eastern Nations to the east, or right, and those from the Western Nations to the west, or left, from the perspective of the Central Nations delegation.
“It looks like there are more exhausted guests from the Eastern Nations on the right.”
Amon, utilizing his keen eyesight, suggested.
Upon hearing this, Nils looked at Eto and Ryo.
Without a word, both Eto and Ryo nodded.
There was no doubt about it.
“Alright. Then we will start with the Eastern Nations.”
With Nils's decision made, the four began to run.
At the same time.
In the right audience section, the first-floor atrium beneath the Eastern Nations, a battle was unfolding.
“I told you, we should have all five gone together!”
“Shut up! It’s too late to say that now! If we had truly reliable party members, they should have sensed we were in danger and come to help!”
“That’s reckless…”
These conversations were exchanged between two men and women while fighting.
They were Patrice Chisekedi and Guti from the guest escort party "Refreshing Five Peaks" from the Eastern Nations of the dark continent.
Both of them did not carry visible weapons.
They were wearing what appeared to be sturdy metal gauntlets and greaves, engaged in combat.
They punched with their gauntlets and kicked with their armored feet.
In the dark continent, they were referred to by the rather violent title of "Bokuseshi."
Whether it was magic, or if the gauntlets were alchemy tools, or some other power, their punches were quite powerful.
They knocked away the swords of their opponents and sent a fist into their faces to knock them out.
They parried a descending sword with their gauntlet and kicked the exposed lower body upwards.
However, the number of enemies was too great.
More than ten knights were surrounding them.
They were protecting a white-robed cleric who was fiddling with a large box in the back.
Of course, the two hadn’t intended to engage in combat from the start.
They had come down to the lower level to investigate the anomalies happening in the audience seats, only to encounter knights and clerics.
When they asked what was going on, the knights suddenly attacked them.
And they did so after surrounding them!
“Guti, these guys are definitely the Holy Knight Order!”
“Yes. By the emblem, they are the Templar Knight Order. They are elite knights of the church!”
Guti grimaced as he answered Patrice's question.
They were also a well-known escort party in the Eastern Nations of the dark continent.
No matter the opponent, they wouldn’t easily fall behind.
But this time, the opponents were formidable, especially with the significant numerical disadvantage.
If all five had been present, it would have been fine.
Even then, if only the Enchanter Kinme was here...
In terms of one-on-one skill, they were nearly equal.
Thus, while the numerical difference shouldn’t be a problem for defense...
“Ugh…”
A sound escaped Guti's mouth without thinking.
He knew he couldn’t afford to say he was tired...
If they lost, they would die.
He understood that fully!
