Chapter 143: Criminals
After killing the ten meter tall titan, the remaining three titans were immediately tied up in battle.
In a couple of minutes two smaller titans were killed and only the twelve meter tall titan remained.
The melee contractors surrounded the twelve-meter-tall titan and attacked it without collusion, then immediately retreated, making it unable to do anything to them.
However, it was too difficult to knock down this titan, so the mage had to start casting the next spell.
The Blood Rose didn't stop him. Although she had a good weapon and could kill this titan, she only pretended to fight it with all her might.
Su Xiao, after waiting for a cooldown, raised his hand and fired two shots. The other contractors next to him were giving out much more powerful damage. Most of them were firing semi-automatic rifles that easily poked holes in the titan's flesh.
— Tornado, " the mage said and waved his staff, causing a powerful wind to immediately rush towards the titan.
The wind began to roar for a few moments and pieces of earth began to rise into the air.
A black-and-gray tornado formed very quickly.
This tornado surprised the melee contractors and forced them to quickly retreat.
The tornado completely enveloped the twelve-meter-tall titan and quickly began to turn a blood-red hue.
After a couple of tens of seconds, the tornado disappeared, and after that a huge crippled titan fell to the ground.
Although titans were made up of flesh and blood, after death, their bodies dissolved into nothingness. This titan is no exception.
Four titans were quickly destroyed, and not a single titan could be seen on the other side of the hole.
Su Xiao was a little puzzled, for it was too simple.
[Announcement: Zone Three has finished fending off a tentative attack, and the Titans will begin their invasion in five minutes.]
The sudden announcement made the contractors in zone three worried. These four titans were just the beginning.
[Since all the zones had repelled the test attack, the scoring process was started....]
[First place: Adam. Value of contribution points: 56.
Second place: Cold Moon. Value of contribution points: 50.
Third place: Chen. Value of contribution points: 48.
Chetve...]
[When the contractors win, the top five contractors will receive an additional award:
First Place Reward: Soul Crystal (Small) x 5.
Second Place Reward: One random Blue Quality Item.
Third Place Reward: One random Green Quality Item.
Fourth Place Award: 3,000 Paradise coins.
Fifth Place Award: 1,000 Paradise coins.]
Su Xiao raised his eyebrows. For killing titans, they will give contribution points, and for the first places, if you win, they will give out very attractive rewards..
However, a nail that sticks out of its place is almost always hammered back with a hammer. It was too early for him to fight for the first place right now.
They had five minutes of relatively safe time. Melee contractors immediately began to flock to the mage, as he was already ranked third at the moment.
— Chen, hi, I'm a Bull, I can cover you while you cast spells, " naturally this guy wasn't stupid. Previously, he was flirting with Blood Rose, and now he was going to suck up to the mage.
— Mr. Chen, your staff is green quality, right? Your spells are very powerful!
Due to the flattery that poured down on him from all the cracks, Mage Chen shook off the dust on his robe, even though not a speck of dust could be seen on it.
— I'm part of the Brotherhood. My boss asked me to help you. I prefer actions more than empty words — " those simple words caused more than thirty contractors to stand next to him, while the rest of the contractors hesitated, clearly not knowing which side they should take.
They had to choose a Ban group or a Fraternity. Otherwise, they will be isolated from two forces at once.
Even though they were organized by Blood Rose, it didn't help them in any way in a real battle. They killed all the Titans mostly because of the mage's help.
In less than two minutes, there was no one left on the Blood Rose side. Mage Chen immediately became the leader of the third zone.
— Byakuya, don't you want to show your loyalty? A strong mage is actually a good choice as a patron, " Enju asked, twirling the shotgun in his hands.
— I don't need it, " Su Xiao said and exhaled smoke as he thought about how long these contractors could last.
— About? Since you've been abandoned, it's best if we become allies, " Blood Rose swayed her slender waist and quickly sat down on the gravel next to Su Xiao.
— Am I not a poor marksman? Su Xiao asked and raised his gun. Blood Rose looked at Su Xiao and finally shook her head.
— What about you? Aren't two better than one?
The corners of Enju's eyes twitched and he looked at the smiling Blood Rose.
— I'm all for it, let's get together.
While the two of them were discussing some matters, Su Xiao heard a strange sound in the distance.
Three figures were running at high speed on the rooftops, and they were all wearing the same uniform that only existed in the world of titans. The usual light-colored shirts, a dark yellow top that barely covered his chest, white trousers and knee-high boots.
A special device in the form of a "spatial maneuvering device", which was attached to their bodies on both sides of the waist, stood out strongly on these people. They were two metal boxes that were one hundred and ten centimeters long. At the bottom of the metal box was a cylinder of high-pressure gas that could be used for acceleration. It allowed people with similar equipment to accelerate while they were in the air.
Two hilts usually protruded from a sword scabbard. These scabbards were attached to a spatial maneuvering device, and these handles were attached to a one-meter-long blade. This sword could be drawn at any time, plus a special wire came out of the handles of these swords, which was responsible for transmitting commands to the harpoons, with which people with such equipment could move very quickly in the air.
On the hilt of the swords were two buttons that controlled the harpoons, but their device was extremely simple: these buttons worked on the principle of hydraulic brakes of a bicycle.
The hydraulic line was filled with special oil, which is under low pressure. When the button was pressed, the cylinder in the hilt forced the fluid out of the hydraulic system, and it exerted pressure on the working cylinder, which was installed on the UPM. After that, the working cylinder actuated the piston for firing or reeling harpoons.
This UPM was the primary means to kill titans. Although the blade of these swords was about a meter long and looked more like a paper knife, these swords were extremely sharp plus very light.
Due to the fragility of the UPM blades, up to six replacement blades were usually carried in the scabbard.
The spatial maneuvering device was the most common weapon for killing titans in this world. With the help of hooks, people could very quickly be attracted to the right points. If a person mastered the basics of UPM control well, he could literally fly in the city, if of course there were tall buildings in the city, and he could easily kill titans.
Of course, even if there was no tall building nearby, a person could use the titan's body as a "springboard", but an inexperienced person could very easily die due to the slightest mistake.
Looking at the three people who were rushing here at high speed, Su Xiao's eyes widened.
He recognized these three characters.
Here raced the main character, Eren Yeager, super popular Mikasa Ackerman and immature strategic genius Armin Arlert.
Three important characters came to them, and many contractors looked at them curiously.
— Is there a hole here too? Eren's face furrowed and he took a step in the direction of the hole.
— Eren, calm down, the Titans may be near this hole, don't go near it, " Mikasa Ackerman stopped Eren, but Eren didn't look like he was ready to give up.
— Mikasa is right, first we need to roughly assess the current situation, and there are prisoners here, " Armin said and looked at Su Xiao and the others.
— Hell, if they dare to do anything, I'll put them back in jail. How can members of the Intelligence Corps be jailed? They are discrediting the intelligence corps by their very existence.
After hearing Eren's words, Su Xiao understood what kind of identities Rai had given out to the contractors.
Former members of the Intelligence Corps who had been arrested for crimes were now atoning for their crimes by deterring the Titans.
Their identities wouldn't stand up to scrutiny, but if Su Xiao and the others started fighting the titans and gained the upper hand, it wouldn't create too many questions for the people of this world.
