Fatal Shot
chapter-452

"Instructor Nightingale, since you've appeared, do you have any suggestions as to how we should escort the target out of the city?" Feng Luo asked calmly while staring at Nightingale, not sounding interrogative.

Although Nightingale was an overly sensitive person, to the point where it was annoying, he was still a Special Agent with the Scout profession as his main profession and had incredible skills and abilities like the invisibility skill he just used.

More importantly, Aida Wong revealed earlier that Nightingale possessed a Legendary grade recon meter that could surveil a large range from the sky above, something that would be extremely helpful in their retreat.

The Scout Beetles could achieve a similar result, but they could not be sustained for a very long time.

At the very least, with 24K's remaining Psionic Energy, there was no way the Scout Beetles could support them until they successfully exited Silvermoon City.

Feng Luo had his reasons for revealing Nightingale's existence. Earlier, Aida mentioned that Nightingale might directly and forcefully take the target away after their group successfully extracted the target out of the city.

Since Feng Luo exposed Nightingale's invisibility, it was no longer as easy for Nightingale to do such a thing compared to when he was still hidden.

...

"So, this is a Legendary grade recon meter, as expected, it is impressive."

After a minute, the detailed structure of the entire building, that included the models of equipped items of every player in the building, was projected unto the three-dimensional image in front of them.

All the players present were impressed and praised the feat. Onishi, who was a Scout, had glowing eyes.

"Eh? Why are some of the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group players who came as backup retreating suddenly?" Big Pineapple asked, puzzled while pointing at a street on the image.

Big Pineapple pointed at a street located just two streets away from the large building they were in.

Initially, the location had a group of Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group players sent from their guild's headquarters, charging towards them to provide backup to the base.

Before they reached their destination, the players inside the base had already been wiped out by Feng Luo's group and Veterans Tribe's pincer attack.

With this, the players who were rushing to support their guildmates were faced with a dilemma.

The city defense battle was already tough and manpower was tight, and less than 100 players were sent over to provide backup, but their gears were not comparable to Elite players.

Right now, over 100 players inside the base had been wiped out, wouldn't it mean that the backup players, who were rushing in, were simply rushing to their death?

Roaring Dragon Light Wind prioritized the base, so when he heard that the base was being attacked by players from the Federation camp, he immediately sent people over.

The backup players clearly did not have much of a choice. Even though they knew they were going to lose, they still had to move forward.

Those hundreds of players kept rushing over, at that time, for some reason or another, many of them had started to retreat.

"Hurry, use your ultimate skill over here!"

Before anyone could answer Big Pineapple's question, Onishi's eyes, which were glued to the image as he continued to observe the situation, moved suddenly, pointing to a location.

In the middle of the scene was a giant humanoid creature that was marked with a yellow circle on the Legendary grade recon meter, a Tyrant.

It was not hard to differentiate the monster types on the fraudulent Legendary grade recon meter. This was clearly a Tyrant, and it was definitely above Level 40.

It wasn't alone. Immediately after Onishi spoke, multiple large humanoid figures started appearing on the 3D image, moving in on them at high-speed. "Tyrants! At least ten Tyrants, all moving towards us!"

...

Around one kilometer east of the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group base, over 20 gigantic Tyrant T-001 that stood over three meters tall were roaring and jumping from building to building and from street to street. Each of their exposed greenish-gray bodies was imbued with a flashing red mechanical spider.

Although many players were engaged in battle across Silvermoon City, when the players saw so many Tyrants moving together, most players were scared into hiding.

A Tyrant's strength far surpassed common Commander grade monsters. With more than 20 Tyrants gathered in one place, it would be the equivalent of the battle strength of an intermediate level Boss grade monster.

"What's wrong? Old Feng, didn't you get rid of that NPC?" Big Pineapple could not help but ask inside the base building.

"The NPC is dead, but that doesn't mean that they have lost control of the Tyrants. Over 20 Tyrants, this is definitely complicating things."

The number of players left within the building after the battle, including the Federation camp players outside the building nearby, was still more than 100.

Even if it took ten players to get rid of one Tyrant, they would only be able to take out around ten Tyrants.

The problem was that apart from the ten Tyrants, Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group's headquarters still had a group of Elite players closing in as backup.

"It's a good thing that some of these people have gone back. They are currently short on manpower and are being overwhelmed. Since they believe that the Tyrants can get rid of us, it's common for them to reshuffle and send some of the players to another key location." Onishi was still frowning, his face did not relax.

The crisis brought about by the incoming Tyrants was definitely more serious and dangerous than their earlier battle in the underground tunnel.

...

South of the base, a group of players was sweeping up the surrounding Federation camp players as well as moving in quickly on the fallen part of the base.

A Heavy Armor Warrior with purple bloodshot eyes standing over two meters tall, equipped with a full set of top-class Rare grade items, was walking in the middle of the group while holding a gray alloy shield. A silver device in his hand projected 20 screens in mid-air and the perspective of each screen showed that the cameras were recording from the Tyrants' chest area.

"Boss, since the guild leader gave us so many Tyrants, why don't we avoid taking any risks? We'll wait until after the Tyrants get rid of these people before going in to wrap things up. This way, we don't have to worry about losing levels or items. We can also obtain Merits and pick up their dropped items. Since there's no way they'll be able to face so many Tyrants in the first place." Said a Scout player, who was smiling wryly, beside the Heavy Armor Warrior.

"Don't even consider it. Although the Tyrants are powerful, if a sufficient number of players concentrate their fire on them, they'll still be able to kill a few. The Tyrants are our key to winning this city defense battle. They have powerful recovery abilities. If we rotate a squad of Tyrants, they can be used as several different squads. The guild leader wants us to lose as many as possible. Apart from that, there's also that NPC little girl. The guild leader told me just now that it is still better if we can take her alive. After the Tyrants charge in and mess up their formation, everyone will follow me and charge at them." Roaring Dragon Seven Kills spoke with a sneer and a desire for battle.

The 1.8-meter tall shield seemed small in comparison to his two-meter tall large frame and the popping veins on his slightly rotted arm. "Mysterious Sniper and Number One Expert of North City, Onishi, you are all mine!"

However, a player suddenly shouted to him from the team, "Boss! Boss!"

Seven Kills turned around and spoke coldly, "What?"

"Young Master Rui asked you to wait a bit before initiating the attack. He'll be here in around 30 seconds."

Seven Kills raised his eyebrows on one side, "What is he doing here?"

"I am not sure, he said something about a Legendary grade item or something... Boss, should we wait for him?"

"We will wait for 15 seconds."
