God-Tier Extraction Talent: Reincarnated in a Game-like World! Chapter 621: Reinforcement [2]

On the battlefield.

As Scarlet Voss’s name was recognized, the despair that had been hanging over everyone’s hearts seemed to have a crack torn through it in an instant. Countless players stared fixedly at the slender figure holding a silver longsword, standing alone in front of Sarah.

The shock and excitement in their eyes could no longer be concealed, because to the overwhelming majority of players today, the identity of Vice President of the Adventurers’ Guild itself already represented one of the powers standing at the very peak of the entire human realm.

"It’s really Vice President Scarlet!"

"Why is she here?!"

"Could it be that the Adventurers’ Guild is finally going to interfere?"

"We’re saved!"

Excited shouts continuously rang out from the city wall. Even the ordinary residents who had originally collapsed onto the ground, believing they were doomed to die, raised their heads again after hearing that name, because even though they had never truly seen Scarlet fight, they had still heard her name and heard about how powerful she was.

However, just as everyone’s attention was focused on Scarlet, a voice carrying a hint of helplessness suddenly sounded from behind her.

"It’s always like this. Even though I’ve already been standing here for so long, the first person everyone notices is always only my sister."

Hearing those words, quite a few people suddenly reacted. Not far behind Scarlet, at some unknown point, there was actually another slender figure standing there.

She was a younger-looking girl with smooth light gray hair. She wore a tight black jumpsuit that hugged her build, highlighting her slim, athletic figure.

At this moment, while softly complaining, she reached out to support Sarah, who had almost completely lost the ability to stand.

It was only at this moment that someone finally recognized her.

"Wait..."

"She’s Alice Voss!"

"Vice President Scarlet’s younger sister!"

"She actually came too?!"

Listening to the cries of astonishment finally rising around her, Alice merely let out a soft sigh before lowering her head to look at the pale-faced Sarah in her arms, whose complexion was so white that there was almost no trace of blood left.

"Only noticing me now... isn’t that a little too late?"

Her tone was relaxed. But when she truly sensed the life aura inside Sarah’s body, already so weak that it was nearly exhausted, a trace of concern involuntarily flashed through her eyes.

"You burned away this much life essence... You really went too far."

Sarah did not answer. At this moment, even opening her eyes had already become incomparably difficult for her. She could only allow Alice to support her body, while the blood construct that had once covered the entire western battlefield had already completely collapsed along with the exhaustion of her strength. Only the endless rain of blood continued falling from the sky, dyeing the entire land an even deeper crimson.

...

Meanwhile, inside the command hall.

Anna still stood before the enormous observation window. The shock on her face had yet to completely fade even now, because no matter how she thought about it, she had never expected that the one who would appear on the battlefield at the very last moment before the entire camp was completely destroyed would actually be Scarlet Voss, the Vice President of the Adventurers’ Guild.

She almost instinctively turned her head.

Her gaze landed on Cassie not far away.

Unlike the surrounding officers who were still immersed in shock, although Cassie’s expression also carried a trace of surprise, at some unknown point a somewhat mysterious smile had already appeared at the corner of her mouth, as though she was not particularly surprised by everything unfolding before her.

Anna frowned slightly.

"You already knew they were coming?"

Hearing those words, Cassie gently shook her head.

"No. I didn’t know either."

Anna obviously did not completely believe her.

Cassie merely looked at the two figures on the distant battlefield as the smile on her face gradually became even more obvious.

"However, no matter why they appeared here, at least for now, they’re standing on our side."

Anna fell silent. She naturally understood what those words meant.

The current New Dawn Camp no longer had any strength left to pursue why the other party had appeared, nor did it have the qualifications to question what their motives truly were. As long as Scarlet was willing to stand upon the battlefield and block Edgeburn’s remaining army for them, then that alone was already the aid the entire camp needed most.

Just then, the doors to the command hall were suddenly pushed open from outside.

Immediately afterward, a figure wearing a white healer’s robe slowly walked in.

Lily, Scarlet’s personal assistant.

Unlike everyone else in the hall, whose expressions were tense, her face remained exceptionally calm, as though the war outside that had nearly pushed the entire camp into the abyss of destruction had not truly affected her emotions.

Anna immediately turned around.

"You know why they came?"

Lily nodded gently.

"We just received the news."

She did not keep anyone in suspense, but directly began explaining.

"The Adventurers’ Guild’s scout team had already discovered an abnormally massive Edgeburn army leaving its original base a long time ago and continuously advancing toward the eastern region along an extremely concealed route. However, because the other side had been interfering with reconnaissance the entire time, it was only recently that they finally confirmed the army’s ultimate destination was New Dawn Camp."

Anna’s expression changed slightly.

"You guys have been monitoring Edgeburn this whole time?"

"Not the whole time."

Lily answered calmly.

"To be precise, it started after Gabriel killed Ken during the inter-guild competition."

The moment that name was mentioned, quite a few people inside the hall immediately changed expressions.

"After Ken died, every one of Everest’s actions became extremely abnormal. The Adventurers’ Guild was worried he would make some irrational decision because of personal hatred, so they had been secretly monitoring Edgeburn’s movements all along. When this army suddenly gathered on a massive scale and began moving toward New Dawn Camp, it wasn’t difficult to guess what their objective actually was."

As she spoke, her gaze passed through the observation window and settled upon the distant battlefield.

"It was simply that no one expected Everest to become this insane. He not only mobilized the entire army, he even used that kind of weapon."

Everyone understood exactly what she was referring to.

If Sarah had not burned her own life essence at any cost to forcibly alter the trajectory of that ultimate weapon, then New Dawn Camp at this very moment would most likely have already disappeared completely from this land together with the western battlefield.

Anna slowly clenched both fists.

"So Scarlet and the others came after receiving the scout team’s report."

Lily said softly.

"They were simply too far away from here. The fact that they managed to arrive at the very last moment could already be considered fortunate enough."
