"Reiner, slow down a bit."
Su Xiao observed the mbers of the Survey Corps through his binoculars, deciding whom to shoot.
After a brief consideration, Su Xiao chose his target.
The speed of the Armored Titan Reiner slowed, which invigorated the Survey Corps.
"Keep pursuing, these traitors are already exhausted."
"They killed over two hundred of us; once caught, we’ll skin them alive."
"No, send them to the northern prison, make their lives a living hell."
The Survey Corps was blinded by rage from this relentless day-and-night chase.
"Leader, should we prepare for battle?"
Hanji Zoe rode closer to Erwin.
"Prepare for combat, it seems they can’t run anymore."
Erwin’s expression was calm, but an inexplicable unease lurked within him.
On the shoulder of the Armored Titan, Su Xiao stood firmly with his legs slightly apart, holding the Broken Elf in his right hand.
His shooting skills weren’t great, making it hard to specify a target from this distance, but the skill ’Gaze Shooting’ embedded in the Broken Elf could.
Su Xiao used ’Gaze Shooting’. His left hand, wrapped in a black bracer, naturally leveled, and his right hand aligned the gun with his line of sight to aim ahead.
A red circle appeared in his vision, slowly shrinking. When the circle contracted to the size of a needle tip, it ant the target was locked, which took five seconds.
The red circle steadily tightened, and the muscles in Su Xiao’s gun-holding arm gradually tensed.
Five, four, three, two, one, lock on successful.
The mont of slaughter has arrived!
Bam, bam, bam...
Su Xiao continuously pulled the trigger of the Broken Elf, sending six bullets racing out of the chamber.
The six bullets sliced through the air, causing shockwaves.
Racing at a speed faster than lightning, the bullets soared towards the Survey Corps, which was still charging forward, completely unaware of firearms’ existence.
Thud, thud...
The sound of bullets hitting flesh echoed, and Hanji Zoe, galloping on horseback, was splattered with blood.
"Blood? This is..."
Turning her head, Hanji Zoe saw an unforgettable sight: five fist-sized holes appeared in the torso of Survey Corps Leader Erwin, his entire head gone.
"Leader?"
Blood trickled down Hanji Zoe’s cheek as Erwin’s mutilated body fell from the horse with a thud.
"Leader!"
"Erwin, Leader!"
The Survey Corps’ formation imdiately beca disoriented; their leader died from an ’unknown’ attack.
Seeing this, Su Xiao sighed with relief; the primary target was certainly Erwin.
As long as Erwin died, the Survey Corps would be leaderless. Despite having many captains, none could replace Erwin and gain respect.
If he chose to shoot Levi or Mikasa, he couldn’t guarantee a kill, and even if they died, it would only weaken the Survey Corps without a decisive effect.
The Survey Corps’ cavalry beca noticeably disorderly, so mbers even stopped pursuing to examine Erwin’s body.
"What should we do, Levi?"
Hanji Zoe asked urgently.
"You’ll act as interim leader."
Levi’s eyes lowered.
"?"
"Yes, you."
"Can I really do it?"
Levi stared at Hanji Zoe.
"You have to, otherwise, those bastards will escape."
Levi was imnsely powerful in battle, but lacked command skills.
"Understood, I will now take over as interim leader; everyone, don’t stop, continue the pursuit."
At this mont, Hanji Zoe had no choice but to brace herself and step up.
"But the leader..."
Doubts imdiately arose; although Hanji Zoe had a good reputation within the Survey Corps, she couldn’t replace Erwin.
"Now she’s the interim leader, does anyone object?"
Levi’s voice was calm yet firm.
"No, but..."
"Silence! I support Hanji Zoe as our interim leader."
Another captain, ’Mick Zacharias,’ spoke up, his strength only second to Levi.
This brought so stability to the Survey Corps, but internal conflicts quietly simred.
"Don’t stop, continue the chase."
The cavalry pressed forward, though several mbers didn’t continue and instead rode towards Erwin’s corpse.
"Stubborn fools."
Hanji Zoe whipped her horse hard, and the Survey Corps’ main force moved onward, while Su Xiao and others were already far ahead.
Su Xiao continuously watched the scene through his binoculars.
"Hanji Zoe, you’re next."
The Broken Elf required two minutes to regenerate bullets, while Gaze Shooting’s cooldown was 24 hours.
Su Xiao reviewed a notification from Reincarnation Paradise earlier.
[You have killed the Survey Corps Leader, ’Erwin Smith.’]
[’Erwin Smith’ is a key plot character; you gained 2.1% of the World Source, totaling 16.1% of the World Source.]
Killing Erwin granted 2.1% of the World Source, and Su Xiao suspected Erwin should drop a treasure chest.
But Reincarnation Paradise isn’t a ga; to collect a dropped treasure chest, he would have to retrieve it himself, thus that treasure chest had to be abandoned.
After two minutes, Su Xiao pointed his gun towards the Survey Corps from behind.
The Survey Corps was now just a shooting gallery, and shooting them was unbelievably satisfying.
Bam.
Su Xiao fired a shot, hitting a Survey Corps mber, who fell off his horse. Su Xiao shot the mber in the shoulder, and the bullet from Broken Elf exploded, leaving a terrifying wound.
This wasn’t a fatal shot, but the mber couldn’t survive; after falling off, hundreds of horse hooves awaited him.
Three seconds later, the mber was trampled into a pulp, causing two companions to stumble as well.
Su Xiao’s shot was ’wherever he aid,’ his intended target was Hanji Zoe, but the hit landed five ters from her.
Taking a deep breath, Su Xiao steadied his aim, his pupils slowly contracting, ntally fixating.
Bam.
Another shot, this one more accurate, flying past Hanji Zoe and hitting the mber behind her.
Bam.
Bam.
...
Su Xiao fired shot after shot; although none hit Hanji Zoe, he found his rhythm.
With Su Xiao’s current physical attributes and strong perception, he found hitting the target didn’t seem too difficult.
The Broken Elf generates six bullets every two minutes, equating to 180 bullets an hour, and Reiner could run continuously for four hours, generating a total of 720 bullets.
Even after Reiner exhausts, Ani could transform into the Female Titan to replace him.
The Female Titan could run at full speed for over two hours, aning Su Xiao had more than six hours of safe shooting ti, generating over a thousand bullets.
What does over a thousand bullets an? If Su Xiao could ensure three bullets hit one person, over half of the Survey Corps would be killed.
Raising the Broken Elf, Su Xiao pulled the trigger, and a Survey Corps mber imdiately fell.
He felt his aim growing more precise, aided by the dense formation of the Survey Corps.
After shooting several hundred rounds, Su Xiao’s shooting skills should greatly improve, with hundreds of live targets helping him practice.
