Chapter 530: Mission
The carriage was traveling on a dirt road, and laughter and uproar could occasionally be heard from the carriage.
Several guards followed the carriage. Although they could use ninjutsu, they were not shinobi, for most of their abilities were only for defense.
All of the guards were dressed identically, except for a trio in highly revealing full armor.
And the three of them talked to each other quite often.
— Old Jiu, is everything really okay? The escort reward this time is too generous, I feel that something is not right, " the horse-faced man looked worried and looked around from time to time.
— No problem, all the big shots are very much afraid of death, so it's quite normal. This is the second time I've been accompanied in this world, so here's my advice-enjoy this trip. If we're lucky, we might even be able to taste the women from this world, " a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey-like cheeks said before smiling.
— Really?
— Of course.
Hearing the conversation between the two, the boy who was following behind them shook his head. Although he looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, his manner and demeanor generally gave him the appearance of an adult and mature person.
— Do not lose your vigilance, the difficulty of the task is at level 14, Paradise never gives out tasks just like that.
This boy's name was Zimo. Although he looked young, he was quite an intelligent guy.
— The man with the sharp mouth and monkey-like cheeks didn't seem to care about Zimo's words. He was careful the first time, but in the end, nothing happened.
— You... Forget it — " Zimo sighed. Just because he was too young, his companions didn't really listen to him. They were all members of the same guild and had come to this world for a good living.
— Zimo, don't pay any attention to this old man. After all, you're with us, our famous good luck charm. Don't forget about us when you become famous in the future.
— That's right, don't mind my words, it's just that we're really not in any danger right now.
Zimo, of course, was a promising boy, but he had the same flaws that all boys of his age had. He wanted to be recognized by others, and this little flattery made him forget about the incident.
— What's there? Zimo asked, shading the sun with his hand.
— What is it? The guard captain in the lead asked.
— There... Bird in the sky.
— The horse-faced man chuckled. His talented little comrade made a big fuss about smoke without fire.
— A bird? The guard captain looked into the distance and vaguely saw the silhouette of a bird.
— This bird is not much... Strange.
*Whew~*
As soon as the guard captain finished speaking, a shrill whistle rang out.
A bullet pierced the guard captain's head. Blood and brain fragments flew in all directions, and the headless body fell to the ground.
The strong smell of blood and warm liquid made Zimo twitch, and his pupils narrowed to the limit.
— An ambush! Zimo shouted and subconsciously quickly disappeared behind the carriage.
The shrill whistle rang out again.
The head of one of the guards shattered like it was a watermelon.
— There's a sniper in the sky, Zimo, kill him! A horse-faced man said as he stood next to the boy.
— He's at least a kilometer away from us, how can I kill him? Zimo asked, looking at a large bird in the distance. This big white bird looked familiar to him, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
White body, the shape resembles the texture of the soil, but can fly...
Thoughts swirled in his head, and soon Zimo's body trembled slightly.
— I ... I think I've realized who our enemy is.
— Who! The horse-faced man cringed and frowned.
— Deidara from Akatsuki.
— This...
— You must have messed up something. Why did the Akatsuki people show up here? It's impossible!
Zimo's two companions couldn't believe it, or didn't want to believe it.
*Whew-whew~*
This time, two horses died, causing the carriage to lose control..
— Protect me! a shout came from the carriage. Inside was the daimyo of the River Country.
— Your Highness, get off the carriage, " the guard pulled out his sword and slashed at the back of the carriage.
The guard let out a shout and stopped before he could land two punches.
A moment later, he fell to the ground with a thigh-thick hole in his chest.
— What should we do, we're trapped, " the horse-faced man paled and cautiously poked his head out from behind the tilted carriage.
Only sawdust bit into his face as he jerked his head back at the last moment.
Because of this, no one dared to come out now. The daimyo was lying in the carriage, and his wife was lying next to him, screaming, which only made people who were already on edge even more nervous. Zimo and the others were hiding behind or under the carriage.
In the current situation, anyone who dares to show their head will surely die immediately.
After more than ten seconds of silence, the familiar sound rang out again.
*Phew-phew-phew~*
Holes appeared in the wooden carriage, and the daimyo of the River Country inside it screamed in terror, but soon his scream subsided.
Su Xiao squatted down on the big bird, took out the empty magazine from the Spider Queen, took out a full one and inserted it, flipped the bolt, and aimed at the carriage again.
[You killed the Daimyo of the River Country, Kitada Ritu.
Daimyo of the Kitadu River Country Ritu is a character in one of the minor plots, you have received 1.2% of the World Source and have a total of 10% of the World Source.]
Su Xiao was a little surprised. In his opinion, since the daimyo of the River Country ruled a medium-sized country, he should have been given at least 3% of the Source of Peace for killing him.
But apparently, he was just a puppet, for his country was being used as a buffer by the Fire Country, so he didn't have any real power.
[You have successfully completed the task assigned by Akatsuki.
You have received 120 contribution points.]
— The target is dead.
Although their target was dead, Su Xiao was still aiming his rifle at the carriage, for there were still guards and contractors alive there.
— Just like that? Deidara was quite surprised, but what surprised him the most was this strange weapon in Su Xiao's hands.
— Its maintenance also needs to be eliminated?
— That's right, we were asked for a very substantial surcharge to make everything as clean as possible, " Deidara said and exhaled.
Su Xiao squatted down and waited, while the people on the ground felt a huge pressure.
The three contractors weren't weak, but Su Xiao had a very good position plus the advantage of distance, and he could easily fly off to either side at any time.
If things continue like this, the three of them will surely die.
Deidara gave an order to his big bird a moment later and it began to slowly fly around the carriage.
The contractors, along with the guards, also started circling around the carriage to avoid being caught by Su Xiao.
After making two laps, Deidara lost his patience and stuck his hand in his bag of clay.
— Come on, little birds, " Deidara muttered and released several dragonfly-like birds with two pairs of wings.
Their flight speed was impressive to say the least.
