The Radiant Envoy got a scolding from Evelyn. He was getting annoyed.
He was a powerful creature of the Light-Type and yet, the White Dragon Saint and the others had fooled him. He was already feeling depressed and angry. And now, Evelyn didn’t even let him speak!
His temper flared. He wanted to remind her of something, but he didn’t want to anymore. He remained quiet along the way.
Evelyn led the way. Soon, they came upon a river.
"Do you see the bonfire by the river?" said Evelyn. "That means Lina is resting."
Evelyn was thinking about how to make the best use of the situation. If Su Wan and Lina fought head-on, it wouldn’t have the desired effect.
Evelyn wanted Su Wan to snatch away all of Lina’s resources, then get killed by the Dark Enchanter as revenge.
As for Evelyn, she would hide until both Lords were too injured and take them down together. That was the ideal scenario in her head.
First, she needed to pretend to help Su Wan, so she could snatch away Lina’s resources. She wanted her nemesis to feel the pain she felt when her resources were robbed.
"We should think of a plan to trick her into fighting you," said Evelyn.
Su Wan understood. Evelyn wanted her to fight Lina in the duel space created by activating the Desperate Battle.
In fact, Su Wan wanted to do exactly that! ’How do I do it?’
"You challenge her to a fight and I will distract her from the side," said Evelyn. "I will distract them so that they can’t see what’s happening in the duel space."
That was all Evelyn could come up with. Having Su Wan and Lina fight wasn’t as complicated to achieve.
Su Wan’s Desperate battle skill didn’t need the consent of the opponent. She could just activate it and then the enemy would have to choose her troops to fight, whether she liked it or not.
Both sides would choose their troops and the battle would begin. If the opponent refused to send in the troops, the duel space would see that as defeat and the resources would be transferred to Su Wan.
According to the plan, Su Wan would activate the Desperate battle ability. Evelyn would rush out to distract Lina. She wouldn’t give her enough time to select her troops.
"But... what if Lina chooses the troops somehow and Su Wan’s troops aren’t strong enough to defeat them?"
Gadar expressed his doubts. He didn’t trust Evelyn at all. He felt that she was planning something else entirely.
However, for Su Wan, this wasn’t a problem at all. She had her own buff, and then she had Xu Yuan, her ultimate support.
Su Wan didn’t want to reveal this in front of them. She didn’t trust Gadar and Evelyn. While she thought about it, she looked helpless.
"Why don’t we do what we did before?" Gadar suggested. "We could send the Radiant Envoy to fight against the Dark Enchanter, as he is a hero of light. Then we can have the Fallen Angel pass by, pretending to help a fellow Dark-Type hero, the Dark Enchanter. In the end, the Radiant Envoy and the Fallen Angel can gang up against the Dark Enchanter and capture her."
Gadar wanted to do what they did last time. Evelyn and Lina were old enemies, after all. So, Evelyn attacking her with the Radiant Envoy wouldn’t look suspicious.
While Lina fought with Evelyn, Gadar would launch a sneak attack. Both he and Evelyn could then take Lina down.
Gadar didn’t really want to work with Evelyn. If he could, he would tie her up and leave her to rot.
However, he wanted to make a good impression on Xu Yuan. So, he agreed to cooperate with Evelyn temporarily.
"Let’s deal with the enemy together!"
Su Wan, Evelyn, and Gadar formed a plan. They agreed that Gadar’s plan was reasonable.
"Xu Yuan, what do you think?" asked Su Wan.
Even though they had discussed it and saw no problem with the plan, Su Wan still felt uneasy. She wanted Xu Yuan’s opinion.
Xu Yuan, at the time, was sleeping. He was still gaining experience points from sleeping in the dark. When Su Wan approached him and asked a question, he slowly opened his eyes. He looked at her.
Then, he looked into the distance. He looked at Lina, by the river, and her hero, the Dark Enchanter.
He then closed his eyes and yawned. He didn’t say anything. He just continued to sleep.
"Xu Yuan?" Su Wan gently shook him. She wanted him to say something.
However, no matter how hard she shook him or called his name, he wouldn’t wake up.
She stopped when the White Dragon Saint rushed to her and waved his claws at her threateningly.
"If you disturb my master again, I will not hold back!"
Su Wan sighed.
"We must not delay. Let’s begin with the plan," said Evelyn.
Evelyn walked to where Lina was. She shouted, "B*tch! I finally found you. Today will be the day you die!"
Lina, who was building a fire by the river, suddenly stood up. She snorted. "I was wondering who it was, but it’s just you, loser! Do you want me to beat you again?"
A mage in a black cloak stood beside Lina. She had a slender figure and long, golden hair. Her fair hand gripped a mysterious staff.
