Chapter 145: The Frontline is About to Break (Fourth update, monthly ticket bonus)

"The protagonist of the Titan World has appeared, not bad."

En Tu examined Eren and the others with a smile, seemingly wanting to go over and strike up a conversation. He looked hesitant, but someone else was faster.

A Qiyuezhe walked up to Armin and gave him a gentle smile.

"Hello, I'm Kevin, we are currently responsible for..."

Kevin did not choose to talk to Eren or Mikasa, but instead chose the more approachable Armin.

"Hmm, is that so."

Armin responded briefly and then stopped talking, seemingly having no interest in conversing with Kevin.

Kevin hit a wall and, after an awkward laugh, looked at Eren.

"What are you looking at me for? I won't believe anything a prisoner like you says."

Well, he was rebuffed before he could even speak. A flash of anger crossed Kevin's eyes; his 10 points of Charm were completely useless in front of the three of them.

Finally glancing at Mikasa, Kevin shook his head and sighed. This girl was difficult to communicate with and might even kill him, so he wisely walked away and returned to Chen's side.

"It really doesn't work. It seems we have to complete the defense mission before we can communicate normally. Reporting the three Titans is even more impossible; the three Titans are Eren's contemporaries and are very likely to be attacked by Eren."

Chen whispered to himself, finally abandoning the plan in his heart.

Near Su Xiao.

"En Tu, if the frontline can't be held, you'll take action, right?"

Blood Rose leaned close to En Tu's ear and whispered.

"Hmm? What did you say? I've already taken action."

En Tu looked at Blood Rose in surprise and even lifted the shotgun in his hand.

"If it were before, I might have barely believed you, but now it's different. Our team leader just contacted me and conveyed some intelligence.

Captain Levi has already arrived at District 1 to support them, and District 2 is being researched by the madwoman Han Ji Zoe, along with numerous Survey Corps members.

But in District 3, the Paradise has only sent us three new recruits from the Training Corps. Although Mikasa's combat power is not bad, she cannot compare to the two experienced Survey Corps members mentioned above."

Blood Rose stopped there, staring intensely at En Tu.

"I admit Chen is strong, and I know my own strength. This camp is completely insufficient compared to an adventure team. The Paradise wouldn't make such a mistake. The other hidden powerhouse is you, right?"

"Oh? Are there other Qiyuezhe?"

"Heh, those guys are just here to make up the numbers and die."

En Tu silently fiddled with that shotgun; it seemed to be his treasure.

"It's not me. My combat power really isn't strong."

Blood Rose narrowed her eyes, pouting, wondering what he was thinking.

【Time is up, the Titans have begun their attack.】

The Reincarnation Paradise prompt appeared, and at the same time, Su Xiao felt a slight tremor coming from the ground.

Boom, boom, boom...

Titans were approaching, and there were quite a few of them.

An Agility-specialized Qiyuezhe ran to the cave entrance, and after seeing the number of Titans outside the wall, his legs went weak.

"Boss Chen, it's bad. A large number of Titans have appeared outside the wall."

"How many exactly?"

"I... I can't count them."

With a whoosh, all the Qiyuezhe stood up and ran to the cave entrance. After seeing the dense crowd of Titans, everyone had the thought of turning around and running.

Not far outside the wall, dozens of Titans were moving forward. Although the Titans' pace was not fast, each step could cover several meters, and they would reach the vicinity of the cave entrance in less than a minute.

"Everyone, stay alert. Maintain the original formation."

Chen roared, standing at the back with his staff in hand.

"Wait."

Blood Rose suddenly spoke, and Chen looked at her with a deep frown.

"Man Niu, you are responsible for defending that cave entrance. You must not let the Titans break through. This way, we only need to deal with one or two Titans at a time. You, you, and you, take charge of Man Niu's left and right flanks. If Man Niu makes a mistake, cover him immediately.

Ranged gunners, split into three rows and fire alternately. Each row, pay attention to reloading. The ranged firepower must never stop..."

Blood Rose's series of arrangements left many Qiyuezhe stunned, and all of them looked at Chen.

Chen's expression was not very good; his newly seized position as leader was unstable, but Blood Rose's tactics were perfect, and he had to do it unless he wanted the defensive line to be broken.

"Do as she says."

After Chen gritted his teeth and said this, he looked at Blood Rose with cold eyes.

"'Master Chen'? Was my arrangement wrong?"

Blood Rose gave a charming smile. As the deputy leader of the Other Shore Flower, how could she not know how to arrange troops? This newcomer Chen from the Brotherhood was still too immature.

After all the Qiyuezhe were in position, the Titans attacked from the cave entrance. The first to come into contact with the Titans was Man Niu.

The Titans had no standardized attack movements; they just grabbed and bit.

A giant hand the size of a millstone grabbed at Man Niu. Man Niu's expression changed drastically, and he immediately wanted to retreat.

"Don't retreat! If you retreat, we'll all die."

Chen shouted, throwing out a large fireball.

Boom! The Titan in the cave entrance was burned to charcoal, its body gradually vaporizing, and the Titans behind it entered the cave entrance.

Rat-tat, bang, bang...

Various firearms rang out like popping beans. The Titans' advance was checked, and most of the Titans were blown to pieces before they could even exit the cave.

After Eren and the others saw this scene, they looked at the many Qiyuezhe in disbelief.

"These prisoners are so strong."

"We need to be more cautious."

Mikasa watched the many Qiyuezhe vigilantly, her pitch-black eyes narrowing.

"They might not be able to defend for long. We need to think of a countermeasure."

Armin saw the Qiyuezhe's flaw. If the people in front of the cave entrance died, the Titans would pour into the wall. Once they had to deal with multiple Titans at the same time, the Qiyuezhe would surely be defeated.

The firepower continued, and Titans fell one after another in the cave entrance, forming a pile of bones on the ground. The Titan bones vaporized much slower than their muscles.

The Qiyuezhe were defending the cave entrance with their lives, and the shield of Man Niu at the very front was even somewhat twisted and deformed.

Now Man Niu only had one thought, and that was to run; he couldn't hold on anymore.

A giant hand reached out from the cave entrance and grabbed Man Niu. Man Niu exclaimed and jumped away; this giant hand was simply too fast.

"Bad, an Abnormal."

The melee Qiyuezhe rushed up one after another. An Abnormal was a type of Titan, but its behavior was unpredictable. This Abnormal was different from ordinary Titans; it crawled quickly on all fours.

Bang, bang.

The Abnormal knocked down two Qiyuezhe, successfully breaking through the defense of the cave entrance.

Abnormals had many differences from ordinary Titans. Ordinary Titans looked dull and stupid, usually walking slowly, and their behavior was easy to predict.

But Abnormals were different; they could spin, jump, and approach enemies with ghostly postures. Some Abnormals even crawled sideways like crabs.

"Quick, stop it!"

Chen's eyes widened in anger; if the frontline was broken, everything would be over.

Pfft! A jetting sound came; it was Mikasa and the others who had met the Abnormal.

The 3D Maneuver Gear allowed Mikasa to glide gracefully in mid-air. Holding a sharp blade in each hand, she rotated her body in the air and then sliced both blades into the nape of the Abnormal.

The nape flesh flew up, the Abnormal fell to the ground, and steam rose.

But just as this Abnormal died, five more Abnormals rushed out from the cave entrance one after another. The Qiyuezhe had no time to defend.

These five Abnormals instantly disrupted the Qiyuezhe's formation. The Qiyuezhe threw away their helmets and armor, fleeing in a panic, and several more ordinary Titans walked out of the cave entrance one after another.

"It's over."

Blood Rose and Chen's expressions were ugly to the extreme. It was a twenty-day time-limit mission, and the defensive line had broken before even an hour had passed, not to mention blocking the cave entrance.

"Hey, Brother Bai Ye, if you keep watching from the sidelines, the mission will fail."

En Tu put away his shotgun and pulled a silver necklace from his neck, with a palm-sized silver cross hanging from it.

"Vitality."

"Courage."

"Faith."

Three halos of different colors spread out from En Tu's body.

【You have been buffed with 'Vitality Halo': HP recovery speed increased by 50%.】

【You have been buffed with 'Courage Halo': Strength attribute +4.】

【You have been buffed with 'Faith Halo': Abnormal resistance increased by 20%.】

This guy En Tu was actually a 'healer', and just the buff halos alone were three in total.

The Qiyuezhe who were buffed were stunned; it was their first time seeing such strong halos.

【You have been buffed with 'Victory Shout', all attributes +2, effect lasts for 30 minutes.】

"Brother Bai Ye, I'm sincere enough, right?"

After a brief moment of thought, Su Xiao decided to show his true ability. If he didn't take action, the frontline would break, and then it would be a big problem. Relying on Blood Rose and Chen, they simply couldn't hold the frontline.

"Sincerity is not bad."

Su Xiao put away the Broken Elf, and the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan appeared in his hand. His momentum changed abruptly.

"So it was this guy."

Blood Rose sliced open a Titan's nape with a gun; that ordinary Titan fell to the ground. She was a Strength-primary, Agility-secondary Qiyuezhe and couldn't keep up with the ghostly speed of the Abnormals.

Su Xiao scanned left and right, immediately locked onto an Abnormal, and ran quickly toward it.

That Abnormal also saw Su Xiao and rushed toward him on all fours.

The distance between the two closed rapidly. Su Xiao's body, which was rushing forward, jumped nimbly to the side, just in time to dodge the Abnormal's big mouth.

The Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan whined as it sliced through the air, one slash cutting into the Abnormal's nape.

Pfft!

A huge head flew up; the Abnormal was decapitated by Su Xiao in one slash.

Su Xiao was a bit surprised; just now, the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan felt like it was cutting through a piece of tofu, with no resistance when it hit the Abnormal's muscles and bones.

Although the Abnormal was dead, its body was still rushing forward. Su Xiao stepped on the Abnormal's back, accelerated for a few steps, and jumped toward another Abnormal.

A flash of cold light appeared in that Abnormal's line of sight.

Pfft!

Two slashes, two Abnormals fell.

Sss...

Scalding blood fell on the back of Su Xiao's hand. He stood on the back of the vaporizing Abnormal, his whole body wreathed in mist, the cold light in his eyes particularly striking. He was looking for the next target.

"I finally understand why the Paradise assigned new recruits. This is because they've already arranged an adventure team leader-level person for us."

Blood Rose stared at Su Xiao, her eyes shining. She had misjudged him just now.

PS: (Although it goes online on the 18th, it seems there is hope for the monthly ticket list.)

Cough, the update was a bit late. Considering the four chapters updated, can you hit me a little lighter? ===== CHAPTER 146 =====
