"They are trapped in his web."
Lana couldn't help but hear her remark and glance at her. "Aileen? You know something?"@@@@
"I told you before that I had never seen anyone whose eyes for people were better than Erwin, right?" Aileen asked.
"Yeah." Lana nodded with a serious expression.
"I meant Erwin could actually see not only people's talents but their characters."
"Characters... Don't tell me..." Lana looked at the match again, noticing the difference of their decision.
"Yes. He knew that Jay would hesitate and aim for their flag, which was why he reinforced that side with more webs. He also knew that those two girls would follow his teammates. But I wasn't sure whether defeating Jay with that invisible threat was a part of his plan or not. But they had been checked..." Aileen pointed at the match. "Look at their current positioning... Six points."
"!!!" Lana felt chills down her spine after realizing the real trap that Erwin had made.
While Shion didn't know Erwin that much, she could see clearly that Libation Fiesta had fallen to their trap.
"What is this? Is this a trap? Look at the positioning, everyone. Assuming that Erwin has the confidence to stop both Jay and Clovis, they're able to do something amazing.
"Tarkan and Gilza are approaching their two teammates. There's a high chance that they will work together and outnumber the two girls from Libation Fiesta, which would give them two points.
"After that, they would continue onward and defeat Ragna before taking their flag, which would give them another four points. In other words, they will be able to win this first round with a six-point lead.
"Even if Libation Fiesta is able to win all individual matches, it will still be a draw with a score of 6-6. And their match will go to an additional match to determine the winner."
"..." Lana gulped down, realizing what Aileen was talking about. "He predicted all this?"
"Yes. Libation Fiesta's operator might have surpassed his prediction by being able to stop Jay and see that invisible thread. At the same time, Erwin's troublesome character makes him want to fight Clovis again in the individual match. That's why I'm unsure whether it's a part of his plan or not."
Roberto knew this and charged at them. Once he was close enough, he rammed his shield toward them.
Melody took a deep breath and focused on her senses, looking at the enemies' movements as well as the environment.
Even in this situation, she managed to find their escape route. She took out her grenade and tossed it into a tree.
"Huh?" Roberto glanced to the side, realizing that the grenade had actually bounced back after hitting the tree trunk. In that place, it would definitely take down both him and the person behind him. In this situation, it would be Tarkan.
"Stop!" Roberto shouted while moving to the side, using his shield to block the explosion.
In their plan, they were supposed to come out of Roberto's back and take down the two girls.
However, due to that grenade, Tarkan had to stop, hiding his body behind Roberto.
Bam!
Roberto took the blast head-on and managed to hang on, but that grenade had sealed their movements.
"Tsk." Tarkan clicked his tongue, realizing that this operator was actually beyond their prediction. "Gilza!"
That was right. There was still Gilza, who could somehow turn the situation around. They still needed to take down at least one of them in this situation.
But Libation Fiesta once again surpassed their imagination.
When Gilza was about to arrive, Kanaria tossed her gun toward Melody.
"!!!" Gilza's eyes couldn't help but follow that gun. Soon his vision returned to Kanaria, but the other party actually chose to come at him.
She grabbed the glaive's handle with both hands and skillfully swung herself up, positioning herself above the glaive. Then she kicked Gilza, who didn't expect her movement, on the head, knocking him to the ground.
Kanaria couldn't help but smirk, thinking, 'Don't treat me like other gunners or snipers. I have learned some martial arts under Clovis's tutelage.'
