Chapter 156: Chapter 86: Clean Up_4

The sight of battle seemed ferocious, but for him, it was merely a matter of pulling the trigger.
He was marshalling his forces.
Because the real battle was yet to come.
He knew very well that the B-tier Catastrophe would definitely come to them, whether the other hunters were killed or they ran away.
As Leonard Churchill anticipated, the number of werewolves was indeed limited.
He had previously inquired in the town and the regular workforce in the mine was around three hundred. Along with the previously disappeared Knight Group, a few passing merchant guards… the total number absolutely didn’t exceed five hundred.
Not every single person bitten would be contaminated into a werewolf, some were outright consumed.
So, he estimates that there are at most two to three hundred werewolves in the whole mine.
The four of them brought down anywhere from three to eight werewolves in each wave, their efficiency in clearing the monsters wasn’t low.
After withstanding the most intense early waves of attack, the threat of their numbers would diminish.
Even D-tier and C-tier Catastrophes, Liam Martinez, Alison, and Tracy Garcia could kill them all.
The three worked seamlessly together, their harmony directly augmented their combat power.
Mutual trust, familiarity with abilities, and excellent equipment, their 1+1+1 combat power was equivalent to at least 5.
This was their confidence in challenging B-level difficulty scenarios.
The three of them alone withstood more than 90% of the werewolves.
Leonard Churchill was happy to take it easy.
Liam Martinez was busy slaughtering werewolves at the entrance of the cave, his Fire Sword gyrating wildly as the flickering light filled the mine.
Meanwhile, Leonard Churchill always kept an eye on the accumulation of creatures.
The D-tier and C-tier Catastrophes were of noticeably larger size and their fur was much more robust.
Moreover, the trousers they wore were clearly of higher quality than that of the miners.
Without a doubt, these were the ones who had mutated from members of the Dead Lord Investigation Team.
After wearing the Clown mask, the boost to his cognition revealed names hovering above those elite werewolves.
Just then, Leonard Churchill’s eyes suddenly narrowed.
He saw a shadow over three meters tall flash amongst the pack of wolves.
[Werewolf Commander Quisen]
Description: First Tier B-class catastrophe; he used to be Baron Ross’ Knight Captain, who became a werewolf after being contaminated; he is proficient in various Knight War Skills and has the strong physique characteristic of the Abyssal Immortal Clan.
Seeing the biggest threat in the B-tier scenario appear, Leonard Churchill shouted, “Be careful, the B-tier Catastrophe has shown up!”
Hearing these words, Tracy Garcia and the others also immediately went on alert.
The moment the words fell, that shadow instantly bolted out of the darkness like a flash of lightning.
Its timing was extremely impeccable; right at the moment when Liam Martinez had swung his Fire Sword down and couldn’t defend himself, that werewolf collided head-on.
The terrifying force was like a cannonball striking, despite Heavy knight’s steady footing, he was knocked back several meters instantly due to the impact.
Fortunately, Liam Martinez was prepared for it; he retreated one step to steady himself and simultaneously retaliated with a slash.
Defending and counterattacking was the most basic training for a Black Knight.
The edge of the sword sliced through the air, harboring hidden killing intent.
Unexpectedly, the werewolf commander cleverly twisted his body backward, skillfully evading the range of the sword attack.
That swing went utterly devoid, and Liam Martinez was visibly surprised.
If it were an ordinary werewolf, it would have been cleaved into two by now.
However, Leonard Churchill seemed to have noticed something. He watched the string of vanishing illusions that had just happened and murmured in surprise, “The sprint… was that a martial skill?”
Able to knock a heavy armored Black Knight flying while leaving afterimages, this was definitely not a simple brutish charge.
It was a charging skill.
As the Enlightenment Display suggested, this werewolf retained the martial skills it possessed as a Knight Captain.
Now, watching how nimbly the werewolf commander had avoided the slash, Leonard Churchill exclaimed inwardly, “What superb battle instinct!”
This monster was indeed a severe headache.
Having seen it with his own eyes, he could ascertain that a B-tier catastrophe of this level was surely not something ordinary hunting groups could kill through sheer numbers.
Without top-tier equipment and formidable strength, a typical Black Knight would have been in significant trouble when hit by that ramming attack.
Without the front rank successfully holding aggro, the card masters in the rear were as fragile as paper under those werewolf fangs.
No wonder the blokes from the Black Wolf Group didn’t bother farming such excellent silver material themselves and collected tolls instead.
Just this werewolf, which could use martial skills, would require several Elite Squads from the Black Wolf Group for a Strong Kill.
And the outcome would inevitably be heavy casualties.
No wonder the higher-ups of the Black Wolf Group were fixated on some crooked schemes while occupying the Alternate Dimension “Greedy Mining Well”, which possessed abundant production output yet couldn’t be monopolized effectively..
