After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 610 - : 446, Scarlet Adventure Group Invades, 15th Floor Crisis!_2
Chapter 610: 446, Scarlet Adventure Group Invades, 15th Floor Crisis!_2
Moreover, strictly speaking, Lin Da’s actions qualified as “ambush.”
Without Tasya distracting Bervis, at such a distance, it would have been very hard for Magic Heart Slash to hit a Moon Rank Swordsman.
The shield and Magic Heart Slash are divine techniques for the weak to fight against the strong.
Without them, Lia truly didn’t believe she could win against a Moon Rank.
At the moment, Lia’s mind was a blank.
Especially after seeing the contract in Augutuo’s hands.
...
“You can’t sign.”
Aiko grabbed Lia’s shoulders.
Isa drew her rapier and said in a low voice, “Don’t be fooled, they’re just bluffing you.”
The content of the contract essentially said: Lia to dissolve the Snow Goose Adventure Team, take all members, and merge into the Scarlet, becoming part of Red Heart City.
It was like a daughter who had struggled for years finally managing to buy a house and a carriage.
Then with a single word from her father, it was all taken away.
Living in your house, riding your carriage.
And using your people.
Aiko and the others were all infuriated.
What they loved was the “Snow Goose” adventure team.
They would never sell their lives for the Scarlet Adventure Group!
“But…” Lia was somewhat panicked, staring at Klrona whose little face was flushed red, and said with a trembling voice, “Let her go first!”
Augutuo shrugged his shoulders and chuckled, “Just sign the contract, and your companion will be released immediately.”
“Captain Augutuo, do you not consider the consequences when you do such things?”
Seeing Lia at a loss, Aiko simply stepped forward to confront Augutuo herself.
The young girl in a white dress had a stern look in her eyes and a heroic stance. After getting out of the wheelchair, it seemed as if her spirit had also risen; Aiko showed no fear of the threat on Augutuo’s face, and spoke with a stern voice:
“Does a Moon Rank adventurer coming to the 15th floor of the Great Mystic Realm not fear being laughed at?
And you are only a Level 40 Moon Rank, and in the entire adventure team, you are the only Moon Rank.
If the Holy Rock were to take action against you, could you bear it?”
Aiko applied pressure to Augutuo from two aspects.
In theory, a Moon Rank targeting them, who were Star Ranks, was ignoring the rules among adventurers.
The higher-orders, the Senior Moon Orders, and even Light Ranks might take action to teach the Scarlet a lesson.
Beating up a sneaky villain could also boost their own reputation, so why wouldn’t they?
The strong do not bully the weak, and attempt to ensure fair competition as much as possible.
This unwritten rule had been collectively established by adventurers over thousands of years.

In reality, Aiko hailed from the Holy Rock Adventure Team.
A seasoned Sunrise Level team.
Within the group, there are over a dozen Moon Ranks!
Taking on a Crimson would be a piece of cake.
Of course, Aiko knew that Captain Rocher wouldn’t stand up for her.
But outsiders might not know this.
Aiko was hoping to intimidate Augutuo with her identity.
Seeing Klrona’s face turn purple and tears flowing down, not just Lia was distressed.
Aiko’s heart was wrenched with pain, wishing she could bite down on Augutuo’s head and gnaw the old man to death.
In the face of Aiko’s threats, the people from Red Heart City looked indifferent.
“Hahaha…”
A piercing laugh reached Aiko’s ears.
“Miss Aiko, please don’t be so presumptuous. Did you think we didn’t know you are a ‘deserter’ from the Holy Rock Adventure Team?”
Fry, with his gold-rimmed glasses and a scholarly appearance, said calmy:
“If the Holy Rock really cared about you, South Rock City would have announced an alliance with White Dove City by now. But they haven’t, what does that tell you?
In Captain Rocher’s eyes, you are already an outsider!
You’ve been in White Dove City for three years, and Captain Rocher hasn’t come to see you once; he hasn’t made any public statement to protect the Snow Goose.
This is the best evidence.
Captain Rocher does not want a shameful daughter like you!”
“Fry is right, it’s better for you to surrender obediently, sign the contract, hand over the Miracle, and we guarantee no harm will come to you,” said Celina, the leader of the Purple-White Adventure Team, hands on her hips and chuckling.
“Tch, seeing White Dove City looking like cowering turtles, is truly refreshing,” said Captain Timo as he breathed out through his nostrils.
This diminutive raccoon circled around the group from Snow Goose and Ice Flower.
He lifted his foot, tapping Oru on the butt, “Young man, you’ve got a nice figure.”
“Tch…”
Oru’s eyes widened, but he dared not voice his anger.
Looking over at the group from Red Heart City, aside from Captain Wol of the Claws of Tomorrow Adventure Team, the other three veteran Iron Level team leaders had all joined The Mandala’s military coalition.
Each one with an air of superiority, they looked as if they wanted to repay the frustrations they suffered in the 15th floor’s campaign back onto them.
“Hehe, that’s only what you think. In fact, my relationship with my father is very good,” said Aiko, hit by a barrage of words from these people, her face turning a bit pale, but still stubbornly speaking up:
“If you don’t leave the resource area of White Dove City soon, I promise, the Holy Rock Adventure Team will personally pay a ‘visit’ to Red Heart City.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. Haven’t you heard the news?” Fry chuckled, shaking his head. “Captain Rocher was severely injured in the Great Mystery Continent’s 20th layer, fighting against the Demons for the Miracle. His life is in danger.”
“What?”
Aiko’s mind buzzed.
That Rocher, who was stronger than a bear and had a head growing out of his muscles, injured?
“Impossible, you’re lying to me.” Aiko said subconsciously.
Fry: “You can take it as a lie if you want, I don’t care.”
The previously aggressive Aiko suddenly lost her steam.
“Ugh…”
Klrona’s pupils rolled back as she was running out of oxygen.
“Let go of my teammate!” Lia, desperate to rescue, rushed forward with a whoosh.
Her great sword carried roaring flames as she slashed at Augutuo!
Clang—
A long sword wrapped in the power of thunder and lightning blocked Lia’s attack.
“Dawen, are you standing on father’s side?” Lia said in shock.
“Sorry, I am also a member of The Mandalas.
Please listen to Father and come back.
The members of Snow Goose will be under your management.
It will be only in name, and you will belong to Crimson.”
Dawen said helplessly.
“I can’t accept this!” Lia shook her head. “This is the team that Lin Da and I built together. Even if it’s just me left, Snow Goose will not disband.”
“Sigh, why are you always so stubborn?”
Dawen sighed.
In his heart, he was supporting Lia.
But ever since Augutuo was promoted to Moon Rank, he seemed like a different person.
Not obeying Augutuo’s orders, Dawen suspected even his own son might suffer his wrath.
Encouraging Lia to join Crimson was his way of protecting her.
“Since you refuse to sign the contract, I’ll have to let her suffer a bit.”
With that, Augutuo extended an index finger, around which a scarlet light began to gather.
In the blink of an eye, it formed a small and exquisite blood dagger.
“Stop!”
Lia led the Snow Goose’s members and charged forward, but more than twenty members of the Scarlet Adventure Group surged up, forming a human wall that firmly blocked them.
“Ugh~!”
The blood dagger drew closer, about to touch the delicate skin.
Klrona’s face paled as she shook her little head vigorously.
Augutuo sighed regretfully, “This pretty little face, when she grows up, she’ll definitely be a beauty. It’s a shame. If only Lia wasn’t so selfish and cared more about her teammates.”
The dagger’s tip rested on Klrona’s cheek, and a drop of crimson blood welled up from the wound.
Klrona sobbed and trembled as she closed her eyes.
“Ugh, Monica, I won’t be able to keep my promise to you.”
Monica had invited her to grow up and become Lin Da’s Oath-bound companion together.
Klrona thought that if her face was scarred, Lin Da would certainly not look at her favorably.
“—Captain Augutuo, please stop.”
Suddenly,
a deep voice rang out from afar.
Klrona shivered.
Could it be…
She opened her eyes, trembling as she looked in that direction.
Augutuo also narrowed his eyes, looking toward the newcomer.
The person approaching was a middle-aged man with golden braids.
He wore official clothing with a White Dove badge on his chest.
The background was a shadow of a crown with a string of Magic Rune numbers.
His identity was obvious.
The president of the White Dove City Adventure Association, Weylon!
The crowd looked at each other, all surprised.
The battles between adventurers usually didn’t involve the president’s intervention.
It was like a civilian official showing up at the front line.
It made it seem like there were no capable people left in White Dove City.
Weylon’s presence was a self-demotion.
The adventurers from Red Heart City, after a moment of shock, showed a hint of disdain in their eyes.
“President.” Lia said guiltily, her head bowed, not daring to look at Weylon.
Weylon patted Lia’s little head and said, “Snow Goose Team Leader, you’ve done very well. There’s no need for self-reproach. Your opponent was of Moon Rank, with many team members. It was an inevitable outcome.”
