Chapter 1144: Unstable Factors
— But before we kill the Ant King, we need to deal with three unstable factors.
Sven, not in rebel army leader mode, obviously looked reliable and voiced some good thoughts, and since he could subdue Smoker and Mizaki, he could be quite a good diplomat.
— Apart from the four of us, there are several medium-sized factions and a lot of solo players taking part in this battle right now. Some of them probably won't interfere in the fight, but I don't want to rely on luck, " Sven said as he looked around the group. — Also, don't forget the three guards of the Ant King. The best thing to do first is to kill Jupe. He is a relatively ordinary monster with no strong traits. The second step is to eliminate Poof. Although his abilities can cause a lot of trouble, his body isn't very sturdy. Pitou will be the most difficult to deal with, she is very smart and her body is quite strong, and her abilities should not be underestimated.
At the end of his speech, Sven began to slowly enter the "rebel army leader" mode again.».
— Jupi is dead, " Su Xiao said, interrupting Sven's thoughts.
Sven's expression twisted for a while before returning to normal.
— Is Jupe dead? Sven asked. — How did he die?
Mizu, Sven, and Smoker looked at Su Xiao.
After a moment's hesitation, Su Xiao said, " I shot him.
— Shot him? Mizu muttered with an expression like she was being tricked in the most obvious way.
— You can ask other contractors about this on the platform. In the past, I was a melee fighter, but now I am a sniper and can summon creatures to help me. All the things you know about me are just rumors from the past, " Su Xiao said and took out the Duke of Nirvana.
Given that Bubtney and Amu were standing behind him, his statement sounded very plausible.
— This... The moment Mizu saw the Duke of Nirvana, she felt a chill run through her body.
Given the huge Amu and the elusive Bubtny anyone would believe such a statement.
— Byakuya became a sniper and summoner, amazing... " and even though Mizu mumbled it, she was confused in her heart, as she couldn't figure out exactly how he dealt with his opponents.
Su Xiao did this to make the three of them confused. The three of them ' guesses weren't important. It was only important to demonstrate his sniper skills, thanks to which he would be able to shoot at him from a long distance in the battle with the Ant King.
This had three advantages. First, he wouldn't need to worry about the trio betraying him and attacking him in the back. Second, he would be able to observe the skills of the three of them. Third, he will be able to save his strength and finish off the Ant King in close combat if anything happens.
— Sven looked confused. Originally, he wanted to disguise himself as a ranged fighter because Smoker was a mage and no one would oppose his candidacy, but once Su Xiao took out the Duke of Nirvana, Sven's whole plan went down the drain.
He glanced at the pale gold sniper rifle with a+7 sharpener in his inventory and decided not to take it out. How could it compare to the Duke of Nirvana, the golden sharpened rifle above «+10»?
— Since Jupe is dead, it will be a little easier for us to carry out our plans. Before we start fighting the Ant King, we must first deal with his other two guards, Pita and Poof.
— I can kill Pita, " Su Xiao said. He didn't really want to fight Poof. This guy could crumble into many small versions of himself, making it very difficult to kill him.
— Smoker, you seem to be on good terms with Byakuya, so why don't you two deal with Pita? Sven asked in an uncertain tone, as he knew very well that he couldn't order others around.
The smoker looked at Su Xiao and shook his head. — I don't think he needs my help." Although Byakuya's reputation isn't very good, he won't stab us in the back. However, you probably already know that Byakuya's brother is different from the psychopaths in the same Ghost Brigade...
As expected, Smoker really matured and immediately realized that Su Xiao wanted to kill Pita in a one-on-one battle.
— This is ... Byakuya, it's going to be okay?
— There won't be any problems with this case.
— Then the three of us can deal with Poof. He's pretty smart and has quite a lot of survivability, so we need to think carefully about how we're going to kill him.
Sven didn't try to persuade Su Xiao, for he really didn't care about Su Xiao's life or death.
Since he had decided to kill her alone, he was willing to wish him luck in doing so.
— What did you end up with? Isaac asked as he approached.
— If all goes well, in about an hour, we will gather again and start fighting the Ant King. We'll deal with his guards in an hour, but he'll probably try to help them. If he really decides to make a move, you, the chairman, will have to delay him.
The people from the Hunter's Association were already actively cleaning up the palace courtyard. Much didn't matter now. Even though Isaac might have seen something strange in their actions, he wouldn't point it out at the moment.
— All right, then, let's get started, " Sven said, clasping his hands together and closing his eyes.
A wave of light immediately spread out in all directions from his body.
— The pouf is located on the second floor of the palace, it will need to be lured out. As for Pitu, she is not in the palace or the courtyard.
After about ten seconds, Sven's eyes opened.
— Pitu is located four kilometers east of the palace. She's stalking several people. They seem to have stolen something important, which is why Pitu is chasing after them.".
— It's fine, it's even better this way, since I haven't invested resources in close combat for a long time, " Su Xiao replied and hurried east with the speed of a third-rank novice contractor.
As for how he would deal with Pitou, naturally Su Xiao would kill her in close combat. There weren't many bullets left for the Duke of Nirvana, and they should have been saved for the Ant King.
Sven's range of perception was very large, according to conservative estimates, he could scan about four kilometers around him, but Su Xiao didn't believe that Sven would be able to find Poof's weak spot in the heat of battle.
— Do you believe that this dangerous guy is a sniper and a summoner? Sven muttered, looking at Su Xiao's back.
— And what will give us the answer to this question? He was able to get his hands on a gold-grade heavy sniper rifle with a sharpener of up to plus thirteen, so he could easily kill even an Ant King from a distance. We can't deny that we really need such power, so we can only accept it, " Mizu replied and spread her hands.
The smoker remained silent. He clearly remembered that when he first met Su Xiao, he had used a green-grade pistol to pass himself off as a ranged fighter.
— What a bad temper he has, " Smoker muttered to himself as he headed towards the palace.
