Chapter 164: Commander, please accept our knees (Fourth update, monthly ticket bonus)
The hook of the 'Vertical Maneuvering Equipment' shot out, and Su Xiao relied on nearby buildings to move flexibly near Annie.
Su Xiao wouldn't hook onto Annie; that would be courting death.
After swinging a distance in mid-air, Su Xiao immediately jetted gas and swept past Annie's eyes.
A bright blade light appeared in Annie's eyes, and one of Annie's eyes plunged into darkness; she didn't even see how Su Xiao drew his blade.
Su Xiao's blade sharpness stimulated Annie's nerves. Annie covered her nape with one hand and side-kicked Su Xiao in mid-air with one leg.
Su Xiao immediately increased the gas jet of the 'Vertical Maneuvering Equipment', and his body rose a bit, barely dodging this sweep kick.
Whoosh... the strong wind blew Su Xiao's clothes, making them rustle. If he had been kicked by this foot, he would definitely have been kicked away like a ball, perhaps even flying out of Wall Luo Sai?!
"So close, who is that?"
"Yeah, if he had been kicked, he would have been dead for sure."
"Don't know who that is. He isn't wearing any corps uniform but has 'Vertical Maneuvering Equipment'. But this guy is so strong."
Some Training Corps members gathered near the battlefield of Annie and Su Xiao. These people were Annie's contemporaries.
Blonde goddess: Historia; female glutton: Historia Reiss; flat-top: Connie Springer; conflicted man: Jean Kirstein, and others were all here.
Today was the graduation day of the 104th Training Corps, so Eren's contemporaries were all on the battlefield.
After graduating, Training Corps members had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the situation on the walls, so the 'Titan Trio' chose to attack the wall today.
Su Xiao was entangled with the female Titan. Those new recruits seemed to want to come forward to help but were wary of the female Titan's terrifying destructive power.
Annie's own fighting style was not weak, and it was even more outrageously strong after turning into a Titan. If these people dared to come forward, they would definitely be kicked into meat paste by Annie.
Of course, this was assuming Annie could bring herself to kill.
If these people swarmed up now, Annie would very likely choose to run; she simply couldn't bring herself to kill a large number of her contemporaries.
In the original work, Annie was somewhat on the verge of collapse after seeing the corpses vomited out by Titans after eating her contemporaries, constantly whispering "I'm sorry." If it weren't for others being present, Annie might even have knelt in front of the corpses and cried bitterly.
On the battlefield.
Su Xiao used the 'Vertical Maneuvering Equipment' to glide rapidly in mid-air, occasionally leaving wounds on Annie.
Annie's body was too large, and her attack range was very wide, so Su Xiao didn't want to get completely close to Annie. Although he knew how to use the 'Vertical Maneuvering Equipment', this wasn't his fighting style; he felt his combat power decreased when wearing this thing.
Now he just needed to drag out time; Eren was only a dozen meters away from that hole.
Annie also noticed this situation, immediately controlled the female Titan's arms to hug a nearby clock tower, and after breaking the clock tower with force, threw the clock tower at Su Xiao with all her might.
Boom.
Dust and smoke rose, and the spire of the clock tower was inserted into the ground.
Taking this opportunity, Annie turned and ran, approaching Eren at high speed.
Annie's running posture stunned all the witnesses; Annie ran too fast, no Titan had ever run this fast.
Pfft...
Su Xiao controlled the 'Vertical Maneuvering Equipment' to jet gas with all his might, and his body rushed forward in mid-air almost in a straight line.
Annie did run very fast, but Su Xiao's current gliding speed was faster, directly sweeping past Annie's side.
The moment he overtook Annie, Su Xiao gripped Checking Zhan Long Shan with his right arm. Checking Zhan Long Shan sliced through the air, making a terrifying whimpering sound, and the blade slashed toward Annie's thigh.
Annie also noticed this scene, and the surface of the part about to be slashed immediately crystallized, as if covered by a layer of thin ice.
This was the female Titan's hardening ability, which the blades of the Titan world couldn't cut through.
But just because the blades of the Titan world couldn't cut through, did that mean Checking Zhan Long Shan couldn't cut through? Of course not. Checking Zhan Long Shan was now a blue-quality weapon, a murder weapon.
Clang.
A sharp slashing sound rang out. Annie, inside the Titan, was stunned; she actually felt her body leaning forward.
Boom.
The female Titan fell headfirst into a residential area, and that severed leg flew far away.
Su Xiao's forward momentum began to slow down. After landing, his feet plowed for more than ten meters before he stabilized his figure; he even smelled the burnt smell of his shoe soles.
Looking at the female Titan struggling to get up, Su Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief.
Jumping onto a roof, Su Xiao saw Eren already standing in front of the hole.
"Go, Eren!"
Su Xiao heard Armin's roar from far away.
Seeming to respond to Armin, Eren let out a roar and used all his strength to smash the giant rock on his shoulder toward the hole.
Boom!
The giant rock firmly blocked the hole, and the light and violent wind pouring in from the hole were sealed off.
The third district had successfully defended, far ahead of the other two districts.
Members of the Other Shore Flower and the Brotherhood saw this scene, but they couldn't stop it, or rather, they didn't dare to stop it.
Eren was surrounded by Survey Corps members, and Commander Erwin even arrived in person. If they dared to stop Eren, they would immediately be judged by the Reincarnation Paradise as having defected from the camp within the walls. That consequence was something neither adventure group could afford before completing the camp mission.
The Titan world was a peaceful mode; the Reincarnation Paradise did not encourage Qiyuezhe to kill each other, and preventing the offensive and defensive missions of other areas was even more serious, so the two adventure groups could only watch this scene helplessly.
【Main Mission: Battle of Wall Luo Sai. (Completed), Submit mission Y/N】
Su Xiao naturally chose yes; the earlier he completed this mission, the better.
【You have completed (Battle of Wall Luo Sai), you have obtained 3 attribute points, 8000 Paradise Coins, the reward has been automatically transferred to the Reincarnation Brand.】
【The Hunter's contribution to the defense of the third district is 96%, rewarding 10000 offensive and defensive contribution points.】
【Detected that defense of a war zone has been successful, beginning to settle the current offensive and defensive contribution ranking.】
【First place: Bai Ye, offensive and defensive contribution 11650.】
【Second place: Leng Yue, offensive and defensive contribution 2130.】
【Third place: Adam, offensive and defensive contribution 2019.】
【Fourth place: Chen, offensive and defensive contribution 315.】
【Fifth place: Blood Luo Sai, offensive and defensive contribution 268.】
【General Announcement: The main force of the third district defense battle, Bai Ye, has completed the defense, ranking locked at first place.】
【General Announcement: Because Bai Ye performed very excellently in the offensive and defensive mission, the Reincarnation Paradise has added a reward of one random blue equipment.】
【Hint: The reward will be issued after the defense of all war zones is successful. If other war zones fail to defend, the Hunter will not be able to obtain the additional reward.】
A series of hints appeared, and Su Xiao couldn't help but smile.
His plan had been achieved. Although there were some twists and turns along the way, he had settled them with his personal strength. Sure enough, even with the smartest brain, if there was no matching strength, everything was just empty talk.
The hint above roughly meant that Su Xiao was basically free now; the final 'Return Qualification' mission would only appear after the offensive and defensive mission ended.
Su Xiao's first-place position was now locked, and he was even rewarded additionally for his excellent performance, but he could only obtain it after the offensive and defensive mission was successful.
In a block within Wall Luo Sai, a large number of Qiyuezhe gathered here; all the Qiyuezhe without adventure groups in the third district were here.
After Su Xiao, this 'Commander', left, these Qiyuezhe felt the pressure, so they huddled together without splitting up, starting to hunt Titans within the walls to make up for the losses from the mission failure.
"The offensive and defensive mission actually completed?"
A Qiyuezhe was full of surprise.
"Haha, mine also completed. What's going on? Didn't that hole fall?"
"Look at the Reincarnation Paradise hint, damn! Our Commander is truly fierce, this is one dragging forty-two, I've never even heard of this god-like person."
The Qiyuezhe soon understood the gist of the matter; their Commander had completed the mission with the fierce record of one dragging forty-two.
The completion of the offensive and defensive mission let Su Xiao breathe a sigh of relief. He used the 'Vertical Maneuvering Equipment' to jump onto a roof to check the surrounding situation.
"Very good, no other Qiyuezhe."
Su Xiao exercised his shoulders; he was prepared to have a serious fight with the female Titan in front of him.
Crack, crack...
Su Xiao began to unfasten the 'Vertical Maneuvering Equipment' on his body. Annie inside the female Titan was very puzzled—was this guy going to give up the fight?
Annie guessed exactly the opposite; Su Xiao was preparing to go all out.
Taking off his jacket, Su Xiao squatted on the corner of the roof with his upper body bare, looking at Annie. The surface of Checking Zhan Long Shan surged with pale blue arcs.
"Weren't you running quite happily just now? Why not continue running?"
Su Xiao was completely relaxed, looking at the female Titan with interest.
After seeing Su Xiao in this state, Annie felt cold sweat seeping out from her back.
This was perhaps the most dangerous enemy she had ever encountered. After her severed leg grew back, Annie stood up guardedly.
She was no longer considering how to defeat the enemy in front of her, but how to escape.
PS: (The monthly ticket ranking is in sight, crying, must persist for two more days. It seems the four updates during this period were not in vain.)
By the way, there are still bonus coins now. Let's take a census and report the number of bonus coins from all the readers. ===== CHAPTER 165 =====
