Level Up in Earth Evolution

They were knights who are supposed to protect the kingdom and its people; they certainly couldn\'t just attack someone because they are suspicious of it.

"Haha, Mr. Knights, we are just here to chat and befriend the hero. You don\'t need to be on guard," a man explained with a laugh.

However, the knight didn\'t care about his explanation.

"I don\'t think it\'s time to befriend others, so I would like you to keep a distance, or I will have to take appropriate measures," the knight warned with a strict face.

They could\'ve waited for dark factions to attack first and apprehend them red-handed, but they didn\'t do it because if an accident happens here, it might cause chaos and casualties, decreasing the morale of everyone.

This was a serious issue; and no one wanted this to happen.

However, even with the warnings, the group of people played dumb.

"Haha, Mr. Knight, isn\'t it too strict? We just wanted to talk to the hero for a while and nothing else," a man replied as he continued forward without fear.

"Dear adventurers, this will be the last warning. If you keep coming forward, I will have no choice but to take you all down," the knight declared, taking his sword out and attracting the attention of everyone around.

The adventurers around were already alert, so it was easy for them to understand everything at a glance. But no one took action as they didn\'t wanted a fight to occur now when they are battling with monsters.

However, the group from the dark faction only hesitated a little and once again started to close up on Bai Feng.

Watching this, the guild master Maurice\'s eyes flashed coldly, but he didn\'t take any action and just observed.

The same was for the city lord and old priest; they were waiting for hiding peoples to act so they can take care of them at once.

"Looks like you are here to cause trouble. Then, I am sorry; I will have to take you all down," the knight declared as he pointed his sword towards them.

"Ohh, Mr. Knight, calm down; we are not here to cause trouble but just talk to the hero," a man replied with a sinister laugh as he killed the monster that came to attack him.

"Humph, it\'s no use talking now," the knight snorted and directly launched an attack with the sword skill slash.

Watching this, the man\'s face changed a little, and he hurriedly defended while taking a few steps back.

"Don\'t blame me; it\'s your fault," the knight said and attacked him again.

But this time, the man\'s companion came to help him and engaged in a fight.

While their two companions did the same, engaging with the other knight attacking him.

...

Watching their confrontation, William finally felt it was time.

"Let\'s go; we should get closer to the hero," he instructed.

In response David, Mark, Zek nodded and moved towards Bai Feng with speed.

The same situation repeated in other places as they made their way towards Bai Feng, but a few still remained in hiding, not bothering to come out yet.

...

"Madam, why aren\'t we moving? If someone got the hero before us, it would be useless," a subordinate woman inquired with a puzzled tone.

However, the leader shook her head.

"If we move now, we might get caught up in the upcoming fight. Also, there are city knights who are mixed inside the adventurers, protecting everyone from the dark," she explained, observing the entire situation.

As they conversed with each other, the fight between knights and the unknown dark faction group became heated.

While another group of dark factions engaged with high-level adventurers, blocking the retreat path to the North city gate.

...

Li Wei, who was a little away from the fight, watched everything with a frown.

"What a pain in the ass," he cursed, thinking of the reason why it was happening and looked at his party members.

"Get ready for escape. If dark factions attack us, I will directly take you all inside the villa," he instructed with a serious face.

"Okay, brother, we will listen to you," Li Xin and others nodded, as they knew their current strength wasn\'t enough to fight against dark factions.

As they made the decision to escape, Karina also made a similar decision.

"All low-level adventurers, do not engage in a fight with dark factions. If you are somehow caught up, I will help you to escape somewhere else, so be prepared and help each other," she announced loudly, making everyone hear it.

But she didn\'t ask anyone to retreat, as fighting with monsters was also important; however, things soon became harder as low-level adventurers didn\'t receive any help from high-level ones.

...

"It\'s time for us to attack," William said, observing the situation.

"Daniel, come with me to take on Guild Master, there will be others too. Mark, Zek, you both take on the hero; It\'s the best time as he didn\'t have any way to retreat back to the city now," he instructed them.

"Yes, don\'t worry, Sir William. We will do our job," Mark and Zek nodded seriously.

"Okay, but be careful not to get used, as there will be others too taking the chance to kidnap the hero," William reminded them and sighed.

"If not for the city-guarding function, it will be easier to kidnap the hero, and we wouldn\'t have to go through planning too much," he muttered with irritation.

The city-guarding function worked in various ways; it can protect everyone against the sneak attacks and was able to stop any teleportation skill cast on them as long as they are inside or within a certain distance from the city.

But for important people, this can be even more potent and better if the city lord decides to give them extra protection.

Due to this, the dark factions have to come in large numbers just to kidnap one guy because once the function is activated, the person will be protected for a certain time limit, and it was enough for powerful people to react.

"Daniel, let\'s go," William said, stopping his train of thoughts and left with him to confront the guild master.

...

"Looks like the God of Destruction cult are really restless," Maurice muttered looking behind where a William arrived with few people.

"Humph, don\'t get too arrogant Maurice; you are just a few levels ahead of us," William snorted coldly.

"Haha, so what? I am still more powerful than you," Maurice replied with a laugh, making William\'s expression become darker.

"Maurice, you won\'t be able to laugh later," William shouted in anger and took out a spear.

In response, Maurice just smiled and also took out a spear.

"Piercing Thrust!" he shouted, directly attacking without any warning.

William\'s expression changed at the sudden attack, but he calmly defended.

"Guardian\'s Stance!" He chanted, taking a defensive position and after blocking his attack, he attacked with his companions.

...

As everyone was engaged in the fight, the frontline adventurers were still having a hard time and asked Karina for help.

"Ms. Karina, it won\'t work like this; there is still an endless horde of monsters, and the high level monsters are coming up," a person reported to her.

"I know, and I am thinking of a way, so don\'t worry," Karina replied honestly as she continued to think of how to solve the situation when a sudden voice echoed from inside the city.

"Restoration Field!" An old voice rang as the frontline adventurers became surrounded by a holy light, helping them recover more rapidly.

"It\'s the holy priest!"

"Yes, we are saved; let\'s fight. Don\'t waste the skill!"

"Yes, fight!"

The adventurers became relieved after getting help from the old priest and started to massacre the monsters; it was still hard, but with recovery, they can use their skills more frequently, making it a little easier.

...

"Ahh, dumb priest; you should\'ve waited a little. Don\'t you see there are still people hiding?" City Lord complained with irritation.

"Humph, so what? It has nothing to do with me," the priest replied with a snort and closed his eyes to focus on the skill.

Watching him like this, the city lord smiled wryly and became ready to intervene in the battles below.

...

"Priestess, how long can you fight with me? Just give up and look at your people; they are already having trouble with fighting and wouldn\'t last long," Pride said, blocking one of her attacks.

"Haha, you really think so? Then you are too naive. Let me tell you, our human race wasn\'t just sitting and doing nothing for these years," Irene replied with a laugh and attacked again.

"Humph, looks like you are too confident in those tools. Then let me show you something," Pride replied with an evil smirk and looked back at the people of dark factions under his control.
