As the battle in the courtyard took one twist after another, gunfire also rang out from Fors's room.
Hobart was not worried about the battle over there. At most, the enemy would send a Sequence 7 to deal with Fors. She and Xue still had that enchantable Revolver, so they would not be in too much danger.
At this moment, the Punishment Knight realized that during the battle just now, they had seemingly had three opportunities to kill Hobart, yet Hobart had turned the situation around every time.
It was certain that Hobart had many Mystical Items on him. Killing him would not be easy anytime soon.
The Punishment Knight made his decision at once. "Retreat!"
It was not that he lacked the resolve to defeat Hobart. Rather, they had already lost the advantage of a surprise attack. More importantly, Hobart himself was far stronger than the intelligence had indicated. Continuing to fight at this point was not the best choice.
The Punishment Knight noticed that the Corrupted Baron was not in very good condition. If they continued fighting, the Corrupted Baron would definitely be injured as well.
After figuring out Hobart's true capabilities, it would be safer to find an opportunity and launch another attack.
These mercenaries had all fought on Extraordinary battlefields. They could not be compared to the Beyonders of the Tamara Family in Backlund, who were accustomed to bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
After the Punishment Knight gave the order to retreat, the Corrupted Baron grabbed the Pyromaniac lying on the ground with one hand, then hoisted up the Sequence 8 whose flames had been extinguished but whose mind had not yet fully recovered.
Hobart immediately assumed the posture of Embrace the Sun. "Holy..."
At the same time, the Punishment Knight threw a punch.
