Confess System: Picking Up Girls After Girls, Try Not to Get Killed!-Chapter 319 Counter-Strike Operation

"Eh?"

Vanessa was taken aback.

Throughout their previous interactions, Vanessa had somewhat noticed that Lord Felix might possess considerable strength. However, facing a werewolf pursuit squad alone... These adversaries were formidable opponents that even she, along with Branch Chief Pamela, Captain Garvit, and Heloise, could not defeat when working together!

— (Could it be that Lord Felix's strength is actually extraordinary?)

Reflecting on it, Vanessa recalled that Garvit had once expressed his admiration for Lord Felix. A person who could earn the admiration of Garvit, the captain of the first cavalry team of the Emerald Forest City, must undoubtedly be powerful.

Coupled with Felix's successful return from the Labyrinth: Aqua Nest, Vanessa became more convinced of her speculation.

Nevertheless, even so, Vanessa still found it hard to believe that Felix alone could be stronger than the four of them combined.

"As you command, Lord Felix."

Considering the imminent battle, Vanessa temporarily put aside her puzzled expression.

She looked forward to Felix's performance while also preparing herself to assist in the fight.

Only after the battle finally ended, Vanessa realized that she had indeed been overly worried.

.

Among fighters of the same class, Vanessa's dynamic vision was considered below average.

Sitting on the galloping horse, she could only vaguely see multiple enemy figures hiding in the woods, chasing them.

Judging from the fact that the pursuers were not riding horses, the enemies catching up should all be werewolves.

Adult werewolf warriors possessed speed and endurance comparable to warhorses, and even surpassed them in terms of explosive power and agility.

In previous battles with the werewolf clan, Vanessa mostly fought against the giant wolf monsters raised by the werewolves. Even when she encountered werewolves, there were at most only one or two.

This was her first time engaging in combat with a werewolf group, and the skill level of these werewolf warriors far exceeded those she had encountered before.

As the enemies drew closer, Vanessa's concern for Lord Felix outweighed her trust.

Having just emerged from the labyrinth, Felix appeared to be in less than optimal condition. Could he really repel these enemies on his own?

With a howl, the accelerating werewolves finally launched their attack!

·

The leading werewolf leapt out from the bushes, followed closely by three others. They split into two groups, seemingly planning to launch a pincer attack.

At this moment, Lord Felix shouted at them.

"Hey!"

"Werewolves!"

"If you have any honor as warriors, kill me first before laying a hand on the girl behind me!"

Being protected by Lord Felix in this way, Vanessa was taken aback.

As a member of the Dragon Shadow organization, she should be the one protecting Lord Felix from harm. How could she be the one being protected?

However, while she was a member of the Dragon Shadow organization, Vanessa was also a young girl.

Being protected by a man like Lord Felix, Vanessa blushed slightly, a feeling of joy welling up within her.

lightsΝοvel After Felix finished speaking, the werewolves did not respond, but charged at them with even greater speed.

Just as the werewolves were about to attack, Felix suddenly drew his Knightblade and slashed through the air. A bizarre azure flame flew from the blade, transforming into a galloping steed in mid-air. It burned the enemies while successfully repelling them.

Before Vanessa could marvel at the power of this strike, Lord Felix, without looking back, threw his longsword into the air beside him. Vanessa followed the trajectory of the longsword with her eyes, only to be surprised to find a werewolf had already jumped onto the side branches of a tree, using the branches as a springboard to pounce at her and Lord Felix!

— (Damn! The force of the thrown sword is too weak!)

Vanessa thought Lord Felix was planning to use the flying sword to knock down the enemy, but she soon realized she was wrong.

Before the longsword could be blocked by the werewolf, a black figure that had appeared out of nowhere suddenly leapt out. It grabbed the still airborne longsword, then, with a swift and fierce spin, unexpectedly beheaded the werewolf!

— (Eh? Eh...?)

— (Reinforcements? When did they...?)

Before Vanessa could react, the black figure had already rushed into the forest, while Lord Felix had set up his longbow during this time, shooting powerful arrows one by one at the werewolves who were showing their heads.

Lord Felix's long-range firepower suppression was not lethal, but its impressive power prevented the werewolves from easily revealing themselves from the forest.

In addition, the black figure who had rushed into the forest to fight seemed to have plunged into a fierce battle, with the sound of swords and armor clashing continuously emanating from within.

For a moment, Vanessa thought that Lord Felix had taken control of the situation. Escaping from combat and using range advantage to suppress the enemy was a textbook strategy. However, in the next second, the werewolves dispersed their formation and burst out with speed, overtaking them from both sides in one breath!

Suddenly, fierce wolf howls resounded all around. When the relationship between the two sides changed from pursuit to encirclement, Lord Felix's strategy immediately became ineffective. The threats coming from all directions could not be suppressed by just one man and one bow.

At this point, Lord Felix deliberately slowed down and distanced himself from Vanessa. It seemed that he was really planning to face the encirclement of the werewolf squad alone to protect Vanessa!

— (Why is he protecting me like this? I'm not incapable of fighting...)

Vanessa gripped her silver flute tightly, ready to join the battle at any moment.

.

After the encirclement was completed, the werewolves immediately launched their attack.

These werewolves, using their long, sharp claws as weapons, were like a pack of wolves. Each attack was a single strike, whether successful or not, they would not linger and would immediately retreat back into the forest to wait for the next opportunity.

Facing the werewolves' continuous assaults, Lord Felix responded calmly. His coordination with his warhorse was almost inconceivably perfect, avoiding several attacks that Vanessa thought were unavoidable.

— (But this can't go on... They're sure to attack from behind...!)

Just as Vanessa was worried, sure enough, a werewolf rushed out from Lord Felix's blind spot. Vanessa was about to help when Lord Felix, without looking back, threw a dagger behind him, as if he had eyes on the back of his head.

Following that, similar to the scene of throwing the longsword earlier, a black figure actually emerged from the shadow of the dagger thrown on the ground. It leapt up, smoothly catching the dagger, and then tangled with the ambushing werewolf.

— (Reinforcements again??)

— (These reinforcements can hide in shadows?)

Vanessa was becoming more and more confused about this battle. Just as she was getting dizzy from watching, the black figure who had rushed into the forest earlier returned with Lord Felix's Knightblade.

The black figure disappeared without a trace after returning the longsword, leaving Vanessa dumbfounded.

— (The black figures... They're not reinforcements?)

— (They're Lord Felix's... abilities?)

Vanessa thought these mysterious black figures were already impressive enough, but what she didn't expect was that there were even more surprising things to come.
