Chapter 37: Race for the land 3

-Hey Richard, I’m tired.

The mission had started three hours ago and the duo of Richard and Alan, are undoubtedly the ones who have managed to complete the least amount of the assigned route.

-Wow, again? I think we can rest that building in the distance.

But rather than seem angry at the setback, Richard, with a warm smile, decides to rest for Alan.

(Although he wanted to come and help, Alan is a guy who doesn’t exercise enough, it’s normal for him to be tired).

The duo approaches the abandoned house to rest, while the others are probably hard at work.

-What another abandoned house, it seems they don’t care about the owner.

Alan, who was drinking water, said these words, looking quite intrigued.

-Well, all these houses belong to Mr. Felixton, but you probably know him as Mr. RockFlex, or Felixton Rockstar from what I understand, he bought the land when nobody wanted it.

-Oh, right, the great war happened on this land, didn’t it?

It seems that you are informed Alan, yes, it is as you say, the well-known war between families happened here, the great families fought each other for power, there were five of them, but after the war there were only three.

-Yes, after all, they teach it in history classes, after an endless struggle and many deaths. The great families were left in peace and decided to name the city, as the city of the golden count.

Alan finished telling the story that Richard had started, it seems that neither of them skips history classes.

-Our mission is to collect important information, but we have nothing, although the plan of the White Wolves was very good, we entered the battlefield at a time too advanced.

Richard was a bit sad, his plan was simply perfect, but it seems that this plan was implemented earlier by the White Wolves, causing the gangs to be more careful.

-Hey, Richard look over there.

Alan cuts off Richard’s self-reflection by signaling him to look out.

-What’s going on, Alan? -Richard walked over to the window to see what Alan was pointing out.

I see, it’s a fight.

Noticing what Alan wanted to tell him, Richard can see three people talking to each other.

-Hey, what’s the matter with you? We said we were going to retreat.

Two guys wearing the uniform of the gang called Stars were talking to another guy.

-I’m sorry, but I can’t trust you, I will have to eliminate you, I must avoid risks.

The person they were talking to was Takeda of the White Wolves, who had the highest number of casualties among the White Wolves in the battle for the territory.

-I understand you, but my sister is sick, look at her, I don’t want to fight anymore, just let me go. -The young man asked Takeda for a chance for the sake of his sister, who did not look very well.

-I understand what you’re saying, but I can’t trust you, the last time I trusted someone I ended up dropping in rank. -Takeda for her part didn’t plan to let the boys go, thanks to Alexander she realized she couldn’t trust anyone.

(This is wrong, it can’t be called a fight when only one side agrees, it’s very wrong) -Richard, who was watching the scene from a distance, clenched his fist in anger.

-Well bastard, that’s the way you want it, let’s fight. -The boy gently put his sister on the floor and prepared to fight Takeda, who didn’t seem nervous.

-Just let me go. -The young man lunges at Takeda and throws several punches.

-I’m sorry, but I can’t do that. -Takeda blocks all the blows and then throws several counter blows at the boy, leaving him wounded.

-You can’t protect your sister if you are weak. -Giving him a life lesson, Takeda proclaims himself the winner of the fight without much effort.

-Damn my sister, damn. -The young man refused to give in and as his last strength, he bites Takeda’s shoes.

-You look like a dog, I’d better end your suffering. -Takeda, who was already bored with the boy, prepared to finish him off.

-That’s enough!

But before he could finish the boy off, he is hit directly in the back of the head by a soft metal cane.

-Who the hell? -Takeda, who was a bit dazed, didn’t understand what had just happened.

-Alan helps the boys escape.

The cause of all the chaos was Richard, whose sense of justice forced him to help the boys.

-I understand, leave it to me, but are you supposed to fight this guy? -Alan, noting his concern for his superior, opted to ask.

-Easy Alan, a hero never loses. -Giving Alan confidence, but even more confidence to himself, Richard calls himself a hero.

-Well, I trust you. -Alan helps the boy up while holding the girl, “Don’t die.

Trusting his superior, Alan began to escape with the boys.

(I’m sorry Alan, I won’t be able to…)

Richard watched as Takeda slowly regained his balance.

Hey kid, your surprise attack was pretty good, if you had more strength I would have fallen instantly.

(I can’t promise you that) -Richard, a bit nervous, held the cane firmly, this would be the first time he would fight giving his all.

-I hope you do have the strength to protect the others. -A recovered Takeda invited Richard to fight while he got into combat position.

(Don’t waste your time)

Richard lunges at his enemy with several blows with his staffs.

-I can tell you practiced a lot, but I know someone who uses the canes in a better way. -Unlike Richard who moved with effort, Takeda dodged all the attacks without any difficulty.

(Shit, he's just playing with me, he should do better) -Richard tries to get behind his opponent, but is hit by his opponent instantly.

(Damn)

Richard was enduring the pain and returned to face Takeda who was barely sweating.

-Are you the strength of number 3? What a mediocre gang, I can’t imagine their leader. -Takeda taunted Richard at the sight of his coat and with a smile he hit him several more times.

Richard managed to block several of the blows with his sticks, but it was impossible for him to keep up.

(Shit, my body can’t take it anymore).

Richard, completely bloody, falls to his knees on the ground.

-Hahaha, I must admit that you helped me get some exercise. -Takeda mocked Richard as he slowly moved in to finish him off.

-What the fuck are you doing? -But to the surprise of both of them, a stone hit the back of his head.

-You said you were going to win Richard, you said so. -The person responsible for this act was Alan, who with tears in his eyes claimed to Richard.

-Wow, he’s a fly. -Takeda, somewhat angry, approached Alan at high speed, hitting him instantly.

-Alan! Shit, move, move, move!

Richard tried to move, but when he tried to stand up his legs betrayed him.

(Not again, not again, the same thing that happened to Eduardo will happen. All because of me)

Richard was trying to get up from the ground little by little to restrain Takeda.

-You don’t seem to understand, look how your legs are shaking, do you really think you will be able to help this guy?

Seeing Richard’s attempt to fight, Takeda punches Alan, who was lying on the ground, several times.

(I don’t want to lose, I don’t want to lose, I don’t want to lose).

[Your ally’s constitution is at its maximum peak].

(Wow this message again)

Alexander who just recently started watching the fight, is surprised because of the system message.

-I don’t want to lose anymore.

(Wow, that’s what I call a good reward, you can do it Richard).

Alexander from a distance sent strength to his friend, who with a sore body attacks his opponent, who did not expect it.

[Critical Strike]

(I will protect you)

[Critical Hit] (I will protect them)

-You bastard, what the hell is wrong with you? -Takeda, angry, was going to attack Richard, but is stopped by Alan, who holds his foot.

-Come on Richard!

[Critical Hit]

[Critical Hit]

(I must protect you all)

[Critical Hit]

Richard kept hitting Takeda who simply fell to the ground completely defeated.

-That’s…

[Congratulations]

[A member of your team defeated an enemy]

-What makes a hero. -Falling to the ground, Richard closes his eyes while being held by Alan.

-Good job Richard, you really are the best. -Alan tearfully congratulates Richard while holding him to hide with him.

[The group member’s constitution points have been blocked.]

(Fuck, that almost killed me) -Alexander letting out a big sigh with the end of the fight.

(Now I need someone to go help Richard) -Alexander pulled out his phone with those thoughts in mind.

{Alex55: Hey, Richard, he needs help, who’s near his area}.

{SophiB: I’m too far away}

{DeathGod: Hahaha he’s dead already}

{Alex55: Marcus what zone are you in?}

{DeathGod: Poor Richard I’m worried about him}

{SophiaB: …}

{Alex55: …}

{Alex55: Marcus go get Richard}

-Shit, shit, I’ll have to help that wimp.

Marcus read the message as he made his way to Richard’s area.

Looks like the rescue has just begun.
