Chapter 286: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The? Bridge' Part 89

Kayn was familiar with this formation. It is called a three to three formation, or also more commonly know as the flawless formation.

It doesn't follow the usual five team squad composition as it aims to fix their major and main weakness— the rear.

Based on their team composition, the Guardian had chosen to defend their Mage and Priest who are both providing support at the rear instead of being at the very front of the formation. Meanwhile, the two knights decided to face him along with the assassin creeping around the corner waiting for the perfect opportunity to launch an attack.

Although the formation isn't really as perfect as it claims itself to be. It's just that the success rate of using this strategy is more than fifty percent because of the additional person. And depending on the members of the team and the composition of their subclasses, this percentage could significantly increase.

"Finally," Kayn felt delighted. "Just how long were you guys planning on hiding yourselves?"

"Long enough until you're exactly at where we wanted you to be," The Guardian smiled widely.

"How pretentious, I was the one who decided to fight here, not you," Kayn rolled his eyes. "Well, no wonder you are trying to covert the Kingmaker without informing Gavir,"

"That foolish man doesn't understand anything other than being the dog of Chief Kylo!"

"At least he is a loyal dog, compared to the six of you! It's not even certain whether you'd really give the Kingmaker to Chief Kylo or not," Kayn might have claimed that they want to exclusively earned the reward, but he actually doesn't believe that a hundred percent, especially considering they are members of the Assembly of Freedom.

"Heh! Of course we will keep that for ourselves!"

"There's only one Kingmaker,"

"Naturally, the leader will keep it!" The Guardian's eyes instantly lit up at the mere thought of possessing the Kingmaker himself.

Instantly, the faces of the other five members turned ugly.

"It seems like they don't agree with that claim," Kayn easily concluded.

All of a sudden…

"Alright," Kayn threw the Kingmaker to the Guardian.

Although confused and shocked, the Guardian still decided to catch the Kingmaker while letting go of his sword and shield.

"You…" The Guardian looks at Kayn, unable to know how to react.

"All yours," Kayn waves his hand, taking out the Molten Ice Sword from his Storage Ring.

"Don't be mistaken that by giving the Kingmaker to us we will spare your life!" The Guardian pointed the Kingmaker at Kayn with a sneer, completely abandoning his sword and shield. Deep inside though, he was still having trouble comprehending how he was able to easily get the Kingmaker.

"I wasn't thinking of that," Kayn chuckled. He already took out the Molten Ice Sword as he expects they would still try to kill him.

Unbeknownst to everyone, what he had done just now was exploiting one of the few known weaknesses of the so-called flawless formation, though it was only in the future when the strategy he just pulled off was discovered.

A formation is called a formation exactly because each and every member of the team plays a significant role in the structure they created. In addition to that, their familiarity with each other has reached a level where they can do things without the need to communicate verbally as they already know what the others would likely be doing.

Now, imagine what would happen when one of them does another thing. Like for example, the Guardian decided to play the role of a swordsman. Not to mention, this is their leader, the very core of the entire formation, and who also plays the major role of supposedly protecting the Mage and Priest of their party and making sure that the people at the front doesn't have to worry about the rear.

Simply put, break their familiarity.

"Everyone!" The Guardian looks at his men. "Kill him!"

Whoosh!

Ignorant and oblivious of the effect, the two Knights charged at Kayn at the same time and soon brandished their swords at him.

Clang!

Kayn easily parried one of the Knights away from him before dodging the other Knight by simply moving to the same direction where he parried the first Knight.

In that simple clash, Kayn was able to easily grasped the level of his opponents.

"Around level 35 - 40, I see," Kayn muttered loud enough for the two Knights to hear.

The Knights' eyes instantly widened in surprise.

"How?" One of them muttered.

"Take this!"

The Guardian suddenly poke the Kingmaker to the side as if the sword was a lance or some sort.

Clang!

Kayn parried the attack before jumping backward to evade the incoming dagger from the assassin.

Upon landing, he exerted some force to his right leg before swiftly kicking the side of the assassin.

Bang!

The assassin was sent rolling horizontally for a few meters to the side before eventually stopping near the Mages and Priest.

Without wasting time, the Priest started healing the assassin in order to recover the slight damage he had inquired. Although the only reason she even bothered to do it was because he was the only one who received any damages.

Taking the opportunity where Kayn's other foot was in the midst of returning to the ground, the two Knights quickly jumped forward and brandished their swords.

Clang! Clang!

Kayn easily parried the two Knights to both sides.

Whoosh!

The Guardian also swing his sword while Kayn was preoccupied.

Unfortunately…

Clang!

Similar to the previous Knights, Kayn once more parried the attack.

After parrying the Kingmaker, he quickly manuevered his hand and hit the head of the Guardian with the hilt of the Molten Ice Sword.

Bang!

Afterwards, he sent a kick to the Guardian's waist.

Bang!

Contrary with the assassin, the Guardian was only sent retreating a two meters away.

Annoyed, the Guardian pointed the Kingmaker at Kayn and blurted. "You'll pay for this!"

Kayn shook his head as he can't help becoming disappointed. "I thought you guys were special,"

The members of the Freedom Fighters turned silent and paused.

That was the truth. He initially expected the Freedom Fighters to be slightly in the same league as the Assembly of Freedom. It turns out that they are only in the same level as the Executives he had faced in the past when they were clearing the Daze Village, probably even worst.

They were just too weak!
