Ivan could see all the wounds Clovis had on his body. It was clear that the battle was intense, but Clovis actually managed to defeat those beasts. He simply couldn't believe it. On the other hand, Elina was observing Clovis coldly, wondering if the Silver Star team had helped them or not. If they managed to do it alone, she had to report this to the president, informing him that Clovis and his group were much stronger than they originally expected. And no small trick would be enough to eliminate them. Like how they saw his condition, Clovis also observed their state. They weren't sweating, their clothes weren't wrinkled from all the movements, and they didn't have any blood on their clothes or bodies.@@@@ It was pretty clear that they didn't participate in the battle. 'So that's how it is. They are waiting for my reinforcement request before taking all our credits.' Clovis instantly understood the arrangement. The one who orchestrated all this should be Eliot. Clovis couldn't help but say in a condescending voice, "Well, well... You guys are so strong. I can't be compared to you guys, who are able to fight without breaking a sweat or getting hurt. If only I'm strong enough, I don't have to endure all this pain." "Kh." Ivan looked like he was about to blow up, if not for Elina's hand which stopped him. "Let's go! It's better to go inside the bus, or we will only be reprimanded again. Ignore him for now!" Kanaria should feel delighted to see their frustrated faces when entering the bus. Meanwhile, the rest of the vanguard team looped around and hit the beasts that the shield and reserve teams handled from the left. *Bam!* "Kill them!" "Hurry!" The commander had jumped into the air and hit the Tier 4 beast, knocking it down. This slight gap allowed the people to reorganize their ranks before retreating. "Go!" "Let's go!" More and more people rushed back to the bus, not wanting to delay the retreat for a second longer. They easily hopped on the back of the truck. Five people, including the two captains of the shield and the reserve teams, took Clovis's truck while the commander, Eliot, and the rest took the other truck. "Go, go, go!" The commander shouted when all of them had hopped on. Melody hurriedly drove the truck, chasing after everyone. Clovis and three more people who used guns hurriedly shot at the beasts to slow them down. The beasts became even more ferocious as if they realized that the humans were about to get away. If they managed to escape this situation, Clovis's group would be without a doubt the biggest contributor to this raid. No other group could come close to this. Two Tier 3 beasts, hundreds of lower level beasts, and the escape should be enough for Clovis to earn at least five hundred thousand from this raid. If they didn't even give him this much, it meant that their lives weren't worth that number. Clovis let out a long sigh when they started moving. With this speed, the beasts might still be able to catch up, but those fast beasts usually don't have a high defense. The bullets should be enough to stop them from chasing. They still had the commander to take care of the Tier 4 beast. So, they should be able to escape with this. *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!* Clovis kept shooting at the beasts, stopping them. 'So, this is what a big group can do... If we focus our firepower like this, we can easily wipe out all these beasts...' Clovis finally understood what concentrated firepower could do. In addition, there were some occasional explosions, which slowed down the beasts severely. He noticed that the Tier 4 beast couldn't move directly due to the traffic before him. With this, they only needed to escape the city through the east gate and head back directly to their base. That was what he thought until he felt someone's palm on his back, pushing him off the car. "Eh?" Clovis widened his eyes in disbelief as his vision was already close to the ground.
