Chapter 1617: The Team
Although it was only nine o'clock in the evening, the streets of Fuyuki were already deserted.
The Fifth Holy Grail War started earlier than expected, which caused the Holy Church and the Mage Association to take emergency measures to stabilize the situation.
Thanks to their efforts, there were no ordinary people on the streets right now.
Not all Masters followed the rules, at least due to the fact that there were a certain number of "Masters" like Emiya Shirou who didn't know anything about the Holy Grail War.
Since the war has just begun, all sides have been relatively restrained so far. The most active Servant, Cuchulainn, was sent by his Master to gather information and find ways to eliminate other Masters.
If Su Xiao understood correctly, then Cuchulainn's Master was Kotomine Kirei. During the Fourth Holy Grail War, Kotomine Kirei died at the hands of Su Xiao. Now, due to the intervention of the Blood Gate, Kotomine Kirei did not die, but became an agent of the Holy Church and one of the overseers of this war.
As one of the observers, he shouldn't have interfered in this war, but he wasn't the kind of person who stuck to the rules, in fact this guy was unruly. When he killed his father, the devil in his heart was completely released, and now he obviously wanted to feel true pleasure.
Even from a young age, Kirei was already abnormal. Now that he had straightened his shoulders, his abnormality was even more obvious.
Su Xiao walked along a deserted street. For the time being, he didn't want to cause trouble for the other Masters. He wanted to deal with the Blood Gate first.
This time, he wanted to solve this problem in the bud.
And he didn't think that he could completely destroy such a guild, because it was almost impossible. It even sounded incredible — a single rank four contractor had killed more than a hundred rank four contractors in one world, and they were all from the same large guild.
Although it was impossible to completely destroy the Blood Gate, a lot would change if Stan died. Blood Gate was different from the Sacred Emperor Guild. If he were to kill the Sacred Emperor, his guild would obviously become like a hornet's nest being disturbed, and they would end up fighting to someone's victorious end. After all, the Sacred Emperor's personal charisma wasn't an empty phrase. For the sake of improving the survival chances of his own people, he was willing to give up on advancing to the fifth rank. Anyone could tell that having such a leader behind them was very inspiring.
The Blood Gate was a different kind of berry. Stan created a guild where everything was tied to him alone. He was single-handedly handling all the matters in this guild. Once Stan is gone, Bloodgate will collapse in a very short period of time, most likely this large guild will simply collapse into several smaller guilds.
In terms of personal ability, Sten was stronger than the Holy Emperor, but in terms of personal charm, the Holy Emperor was far superior to Sten.
They both had their own strengths, but this time, Su Xiao's goal was to eliminate Sten. However, before that, he needed to weaken the security of Stan, that is, reduce the number of his subordinates.
For this reason, he was currently going to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Fuyuki. During one war for the Holy Grail, this area was destroyed by magic, and after restoration, various supernatural events occurred here every now and then, because of which it was eventually abandoned.
Under the cover of night and Bubtni's guidance, Su Xiao soon arrived at the abandoned factory's territory.
The abandoned factory grounds were dead silent.
Initially, a full-fledged semi-automatic production plant was located on this territory. According to the most conservative estimates, this plant occupied about 30,000 square meters of space and had many buildings for various purposes.
The barbed-wire fence had long since fallen into disrepair, and there were still colorful flags hanging on it, which most likely were set up by children during their games.
*Ding-ding-ding...*
There was a faint metallic clatter coming from somewhere in the direction of the factory, but Su Xiao couldn't figure out where it was coming from, due to the densely packed factory buildings.
Su Xiao made a series of gestures to Bubtney, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Benny.
He couldn't understand why this cat was still with them.
Noticing how Su Xiao was looking at her, she raised her head and snorted, wanting to say, " I just want to watch the fun, don't think about it too much».
Su Xiao also made a few gestures to Benny, which made her feel embarrassed.
— Amu can go too, "Amu said in a low voice, causing Benny to look at him in disbelief, clearly wanting to ask," Do you really understand what all this meant?»
Amu scratched his head. In his opinion, Su Xiao's gestures were extremely primitive and simple, so he said, " Tactic C, coordinates zero seven two, go around from the south so that you don't get caught in the pincers and start retreating when the opportunity arises.
Benny was stunned. Su Xiao only showed her three gestures, but they contained so much information. What made her doubt her life was that Amu really understood them and even chewed everything up for her! This made Benny wonder how much information Su Xiao had passed on to Bubtney through those dozen complicated gestures...
It was a commonplace part of working as a team. There were a lot of things Benny still needed to learn. The interaction between Su Xiao, Bubtni, and Amu didn't end with a simple one: "Amu goes ahead, Su Xiao goes behind him, and Bubtni hangs out somewhere in the back».
Amu quickly disappeared into the night.
Just as Benny was about to follow, Su Xiao grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and let her know that he alone was enough.
A few minutes later, Bubtney sent information that there were contractors on the factory grounds, there were 39 of them in total, and he was more than 90% sure that they were from Bloodgate. Right now, they were torturing a contractor. The strange metallic thud that came to Su Xiao's ears was created by this very contractor who kept hitting the iron barrel.
— Thirty-nine people...
Su Xiao began to hesitate. He didn't know exactly how many people had come to this world from the Blood Gate, and he couldn't tell if the 39 contractors ' lives were worth his exposure.
According to his experience, derivative worlds like this usually included about 200 contractors, but no more 300.
Even if the Blood Gate used a special key, they couldn't take this derived world under their passage. Of course, this didn't mean that they couldn't do it at the capability level per se, it was just that if they really accomplished something like this, the difficulty of this world would increase by an order of magnitude and it would become a rank five world. Due to the balance mechanic, the Blood Gate could only take up three-fourths of the total quota, which meant that there could be no more than 225 people in this world right now.
If we assume that they decided to enter this world with the maximum number, then these 39 people were equivalent to one-sixth of their total number, so the risk was worth it.
After thinking about this, Su Xiao took out the Exterminator. No weapon was better suited to the current situation than this gun. As long as the target is not a tank contractor, one, maximum two shots to the head will immediately eliminate its target.
He ended up walking through a large hole in the fence.
The Apostle's Eye hovered above him, gradually expanding its scanning area.
As Su Xiao neared the contractors ' location, he noticed a dozen small metal sticks stuck in the ground. Every one of them was hidden by weeds and grass.
These wands were responsible for scanning the area.
Su Xiao immediately looked at Benny, but quickly realized that she was too clean, so he started sprinkling grass on her.
Benny was extremely reluctant to accept the grass falling on her fur, and when the earth fell on her, a ferocious expression appeared on her face, and she clearly wanted to say: "Wait, no, where is so much earth?"...»
Moments later, Benny, who looked like a stray cat, walked towards the abandoned building, leaving behind footprints in the shape of cats ' paws.
Su Xiao hid behind a dilapidated low wall not far from the metal sticks.
