Red Rider 8

Eleventh quest

"See Orin is in trouble. Go and help him. I will call Ahram here." Junan pointed toward Orin. The team members should battle in pairs. There were lot benefits.

Junan always wanted them to stay alert. He did not want any of them to get surrounded by the enemies and receive fatal injuries. Clark nodded and walked in the middle of the card attacks.

He was waving his hammer in order to avoid the cards. The four teams of the red riders twitched seeing that the formation of the security members was confusing.. First of all they faced unseen attacks of the arrows and the bullets.

It made them suspicious about the security members. None of the security members were given multiple types of weapons to use especially in the middle of the city.

The security members were too lazy to use the provided weapons much less to use multiple weapons. Also their agility and the alertness were at another level.

Jake and Sashi saw that the red riders were aiming at the team members at their fullest effort. The numbers of the card attacks were increasing. This was apparent that the red riders were pretty sure about the defeat of the team members.

Well they were here for proper attacks. So why not tell them that the team members were not vulnerable.

He took accurate target and fired. The accuracy had already reached at the perfection level in adherence with the portal present level.

The rider fell from the horse. The red riders might have overlooked however another red rider fell with the attack of the arrow. Sashi did not want her arrows got to waste that's why she wanted to take perfect target before releasing the arrow.

According to the calculations there were many teams of the red riders and presently there were only four. It means the enemies wanted to test the team members.

Her intuition was accurate in this aspect.

The numbers were red riders could any time increase however the rest of the teams were with the real red rider. They were waiting at the edges.

The boss saw the hidden attacks and got surprised. He was not expecting it. The hidden security members were not in front. It was quite shocking. He was very glad that first of all he sent the four teams to test the security members.

Now he was hundred percent sure that the security members were not real. They did not belong to the city.

How could they be lazy and fat bellied security members? Just that their appearance matched with the security members that was fake appearance for sure.

"If these people let the merchant escape from the city then I would not be able to kill my enemy. We will chase behind these people and capture them at the second square. I won't care if I die in my struggle to kill my enemies. They should die at my hands at any cost." The real red rider smashed his fist against the near wall.

He was hiding behind the building wall.

His intentions were to calculate the strength of the enemies.

"They are stronger. It is time for my card to show up and kill the scums." He gritted his teeth.

He did not know that the merchant could hire such capable guards and let them wear the gowns of the security members.

"The merchant is very clever however he cannot escape today." The red rider held his card. Currently the card was not in active state. The red rider learned how to use the card in the fullest form.

The card could expand the stature and appear as weapon.

…

Albert held the spear in case some random card came flying at him. The rider wanted to attack the merchant however the several cards were stuck in the shield. None of them could hurt the merchant.

The shield was active. It was strong enough to handle any attack of one level higher. This made Albert feel at ease. His responsibility was to keep moving the shield if the attacker changed their position for attack.

Ahram kept the chain defense. The sharp blades were cutting the cards in two or three pieces. Seeing that team head was alone Ahram walked toward him in the middle of the attacks.

The riders were facing trouble soon. The persistence of the team members worried them. However they did not want to accept defeat. They knew that if they went back defeated the boss would kill them.

Once again their attacks became consistent. The least they could do to give some damage or get killed in the process.

Junan this time twitched. He thought that perhaps the riders would leave soon knowing that they could not defeat. The riders this time twisted the level of their skills so to damage the security members.

A card came flying. It brushed past the cheeks. Ahram squinted his eyes. He was not expecting intoned attack. The attack was not direct. Someone perhaps wanted to attack Junan knowing that he was leading others with his guidance.

His occasional words were enough to annoy the riders.

The twisted and intoned attacks started meanwhile. This was part of the skill of the enemies. They were using this skill as the last resort to defeat the security members.

It fairly brought worry for the team members. Another attack skipped and hurt Albert. The shield was there however the twisted attack made way. Albert tried to avoid but it injured his thigh.

The damage was not much however no one could let the riders keeping raining the card attacks.

The next target was Orin. He was under the range of the rider. Seeing that another security member joined, riders wanted to take aim at both of them.

The present situation was part of the new strategy of the riders. They thought to target the security members differently. The strategy was simple. Two of the riders target at some security member and the other two riders targeted with the twisted attacks.

The direct attacks distracted the security member and the twisted attack gave injury. It was best strategy that they came up with because of the frustration.

"Jake the riders are getting bone in the throat. We are not going to remain in the same square. Perhaps the boss is not in the mood to attack from behind. We can increase our attacks to kill the riders." Sashi asked Jake to get his opinion.

"Indeed the current strategy of the enemy could bring trouble if the cards kept injuring. I admit that this skill of the enemy is better than the previous one." Jake answered.

Both increased their attacks.

Albert put his hand on the head of the merchant and bent him on the ground. He decided to become human defense from the opposite side where the shield was not present.

The merchant sighed. He could see the desperate struggle of the security members however he was glad. Never in his wildest imagination had he thought that security members could show this level of sincerity.

Today he was happy. He was no more worried for his life. Since there were honest security members they would definitely save him.

With the accurate attacks the numbers of the rider started decreasing. They could see however they were bound to remain loyal with the boss.

The Clark handpicked the card. It dug in his thigh. "Really I feel unlucky today. There had been many weapons and many weapon attacks but card attack made me think of my choice in the future. It hurts like sword." The card has the thickness and sharpness of the paper.

One could imagine the skill and the weapon uniqueness. Many riders fell dead in the square. Many twisted attacks hurt the players.

The battle had been tough. This let the team members take glimpse of the type of enemies they could expect.

Sashi emptied out her arrows. Jake faced only one cool down of his weapon. He might have used the grenade however the position of the riders was not favorable for this attack.

Orin and Clark saw that the riders were no more in numbers so they walked ahead. They slammed their weapons at the remaining three riders. They fell.

They were alive but could not attack anymore. Clark looked at the rider. He bent slightly and removed the hooded gown from the face. "Hell what." All three riders were similar in their facial appearance too.

This made him speechless for some time. "As long as they were no more attacking I don't have curiosity for them" Orin shrugged his shoulders. The square finally resumed the tranquility. But there were many dead riders.

Junan sent Ahram to check the surrounding and make sure the boss was not eyeing them. When they were at the weakest point of the battle Junan felt that someone was keeping eyes at them.

Later the intent disappeared. Team head was seriously worried at that moment.
