Confess System: Picking Up Girls After Girls, Try Not to Get Killed!

Chapter 318  Reasonings for Attack

— (It's all my fault... I didn't take the werewolves seriously enough...)

Vanessa, the black-haired, green-eyed girl with the deer bonnet, was deeply immersed in self-reproach amidst the fleeing group.

Unbeknownst to her, Vanessa had begun to view the werewolves as mere stepping stones in her training.

Perhaps it was because she had been attacked by them numerous times without any harm, or perhaps it was because she, as the "Doe Spirit", had grown significantly stronger than before.

In any case, until today, Vanessa had believed that as long as there were border security restrictions, the werewolves that could infiltrate the Wester Kingdom wouldn't be too powerful.

Therefore, even when she was attacked by the werewolves on her way to Delis Town, she didn't take it seriously.

She thought that since she had killed all the werewolves and giant wolves present at the time, there wouldn't be any problems.

It wasn't until today, when the werewolf royal troops brazenly attacked Delis Town in broad daylight, that Vanessa realized that the werewolves and giant wolves she had encountered on the road might have been just the vanguard.

Perhaps, the werewolves had started tracking her from that time and followed her all the way to Delis Town.

The werewolves not only devised a meticulous attack plan, but they also surreptitiously poisoned Ice Polestar Sheryl's lunch.

When the strongest combatant in Delis Town was incapacitated, the werewolf royal berserker and assassin squads rampaged through the town as if it were deserted, turning the town's defense forces and bounty hunters into corpses in less than half an hour.

If it weren't for the surprise appearance of Pamela, the branch chief, and the desperate cover provided by Heloise and Garvit, their group wouldn't have been able to escape from the encirclement of the werewolf royals.

What Vanessa couldn't understand was how the werewolves managed to bypass the border security this time? How did they manage to infiltrate the Wester Kingdom with their royal troops?

Vanessa's intuition was telling her that the werewolf royals were brewing a massive conspiracy.

Vanessa wanted to tell Sheryl, but thinking that a large part of the reason why the situation had turned out this way was because she hadn't spoken up earlier, she didn't dare to speak to Sheryl.

Besides, the fact that they were being hunted down was another reason. No matter what, even if she had to admit her mistakes, she would have to wait until they were temporarily safe.

At this moment, the only hope Vanessa could see was Felix. They fled towards the labyrinth, hoping to run into Felix by chance, and unexpectedly, they did.

.

As Vanessa pondered, her Lord Felix: Tyler, had learned from Pamela about what had happened during his absence.

Upon learning that Sheryl had been ambushed, Tyler felt a bit more confident.

As long as these pursuers weren't too powerful for Ice Polestar Sheryl to handle, there was still hope of defeating them.

Moreover, since everyone had managed to escape without Sheryl's help, it indirectly indicated that the enemy's strength wasn't too great.

Tyler then checked everyone's status and was surprised to find that their health values were quite good, even Garvit, who was the most severely injured, had more than half of his life energy remaining.

— (In that case, there's still some room to do something, but...)

Tyler's gaze fell on Vanessa's face, suspecting that she might know something about this somewhat "baffling" attack.

Tyler didn't like fighting without information, so before taking action, he wanted to have a private conversation with Vanessa.

"Everyone, listen to me, I have an idea!" Tyler adjusted his position on Moto-chan to the middle of the group, allowing everyone to continue galloping while listening to his plan.

Tyler's plan was simple: Vanessa would stay behind with him to cover the retreat, while the others continued to withdraw, planning to rendezvous at the foot of Mount Camille, twenty kilometers away.

As for why he arranged it this way, Tyler explained that he and Vanessa had practiced some tactical cooperation, and Vanessa was in the best condition among everyone except for himself.

Vanessa didn't disappoint Tyler's "expectations." Although she had never practiced any tactical cooperation with Lord Felix, the astute Vanessa immediately understood that Felix wanted to communicate with her privately, so she strongly agreed with his proposal.

In this urgent situation, the others didn't think too much, and since Felix and Vanessa were so confident, they agreed to the plan.

.

As they were about to part ways, Tyler heard Heloise shouting back at him, "Felix! The apostle of the Nefarious Tiger King will not allow you to break the covenant on your own!"

Although he didn't quite understand the specific meaning of Heloise's words, Tyler knew she meant for him not to die.

Garvit also shouted for Tyler to be extra careful; in fact, if it weren't for Tyler's firm resolve, Garvit would have stayed behind to cover the retreat as well.

Thus, Tyler and Vanessa watched the others speed away while deliberately slowing down themselves, preparing to face the approaching enemies.

"Vanessa, do you know anything about this attack?"

With time running out and the enemy not yet caught up, Tyler got straight to the point and asked Vanessa.

Meanwhile, he also used a binocle to observe the rear, simultaneously contemplating the upcoming battle strategy in his mind.

Vanessa didn't hesitate and immediately confessed to Tyler about her dealings with the werewolves in a concise and clear manner.

.

"So... the enemy is actually targeting you?" Tyler was a bit stunned after hearing the explanation.

If that was the case, he should hurry and have Vanessa withdraw as well.

"They're targeting me... but not entirely." Vanessa sighed and revealed that Ice Polestar Sheryl was also a member of the Snowy Hart Family, although this wasn't much of a secret.

After mentioning Sheryl's background, Vanessa wanted to share her speculation about Heloise's origins, but she decided not to say anything without concrete evidence.

"But why is there such deep hatred between the Snowy Hart Family and the werewolves? Why would they cross the border to hunt you down?"

Vanessa's brief explanation didn't fully answer Tyler's questions. Unfortunately, now was not the time for storytelling, as the werewolf pursuers had already entered their line of sight.

"Lord Felix, I'm afraid I'll have to explain after the battle is over."

Vanessa drew her silver flute and prepared her doe spirits for battle.

At this moment, Felix slowed down and shielded Vanessa behind him, saying nonchalantly, "Vanessa, you don't need to fight. Leave this to me."
