Chapter 145: Chapter 5: The Front Line is Breaking (4 updates, extra updates for monthly passes)

"The protagonist of the Giant world has appeared, not bad."

Entu examined Eren and the others with a smile, seemingly wanting to converse with them, but hesitated, as someone else was faster.

A Contractor came up to Armin Arlert and gave him a gentle smile.

"Hello, I’m Kevin, we’re responsible for..."

Kevin chose not to engage with Eren or Mikasa but chose the more approachable Armin.

"Hmm, I see."

Armin responded briefly and then fell silent, appearing uninterested in conversing with Kevin.

Kevin faced a cold reception, let out an awkward laugh, and then looked at Eren.

"Why are you looking at me? I won’t believe anything you say, you’re a prisoner."

Well, he got rebuffed before he could even speak. Anger flashed in Kevin’s eyes. His 10 points of Charm were useless in front of these three.

After one last glance at Mikasa, Kevin shook his head and sighed, realizing that a poor conversation with her could lead to being attacked, so he wisely backed off and returned to Chen’s side.

"As expected, it’s not possible. Seems like we have to complete the offense and defense tasks first before we can communicate properly. Reporting the three giants is even less possible; the three giants are Eren’s peers and could likely incite an attack from Eren."

Chen mumbled under his breath, ultimately giving up on his plan.

Nearby Su Xiao.

"Entu, if the frontline fails, will you take action?"

Blood Rose whispered closely in Entu’s ear.

"Hmm? What did you say? I’ve already taken action."

Entu looked at Blood Rose in surprise, raising the shotgun in his hand.

"Before, I might have barely believed it, but things are different now. Just now, our leader contacted me and conveyed some intelligence.

Commander Levi has already arrived in Zone 1 to support them. Zone 2 is studying the Madwoman Hanji Zoe and many members of the Survey Corps.

But Zone 3 Paradise only sent us three new recruits from the Training Squad. Although Mikasa’s combat strength is formidable, she cannot compare to the seasoned Survey Corps members."

Blood Rose stopped here, her eyes burning as she looked at Entu.

"I admit Chen is very strong. I know my own strength. This kind of lineup is completely inadequate compared to an Adventure group. Paradise wouldn’t make such a mistake. The other hidden strong one is you, right?"

"Oh? There are other Contractors too."

"Heh~ those guys are just here to make up the numbers and die."

Entu silently fiddled with his shotgun, as if it was his treasure.

"It’s not me. My combat strength isn’t strong at all."

Blood Rose squinted her eyes slightly, curling her lips, lost in thought.

[Time’s up, the giants are starting to attack.]

Reincarnation Paradise’s reminder appeared, and at the same time, Su Xiao felt a slight vibration from the ground.

Boom, boom, boom...

Giants are nearing, and in significant numbers.

An Agility-focused Contractor ran to the entrance and went weak-legged after seeing the number of giants outside the city wall.

"Boss Chen, this is bad. There are a lot of giants outside the city walls."

"Exactly how many?"

"I, I can’t count them all."

With a rustling sound, all Contractors got up and ran to the entrance. Upon seeing the dense mass of giants, everyone had the urge to turn and flee.

Not far from outside the city walls, dozens of giants were advancing. Although their pace was not quick, each step covered several meters, and they would reach the vicinity of the entrance in less than a minute.

"Everyone, stay alert. Maintain the original formation."

Chen shouted, holding the Magic Wand at the rear.

"Wait."

Blood Rose suddenly spoke, and Chen frowned at her.

"Wild Bull, you’re responsible for defending the entrance. Absolutely don’t let the giants break through. This way, we only need to deal with one or two giants at a time. You, you, and you, cover Wild Bull’s flanks, and if he makes a mistake, cover him immediately.

Long-range gunmen, split into three rows for alternating shooting. Each row, be mindful of reloading. Long-range firepower must not cease..."

Blood Rose’s rapid instructions left many Contractors stunned, all looking at Chen.

Chen’s face darkened. His newly acquired position as Leader was unstable, but Blood Rose’s tactics were very sound, so he had no choice but to follow her plan unless he wanted the lines to be broken.

"Do as she says."

Chen spat through gritted teeth, casting a cold glance at Blood Rose.

"’Lord Chen’? Is there something wrong with my arrangements?"

Blood Rose gave a charming smile. As the vice-leader of the Other Shore Flower, how could she not know how to deploy troops? This Brotherhood novice, Chen, was still too immature.

Once all Contractors were in position, the giants attacked from the entrance, and Wild Bull was the first to engage with the giants.

The giants lacked formal attack movements, resorting to nothing more than grabbing and biting.

A giant hand, the size of a millstone, reached for Wild Bull, causing his face to change dramatically as he attempted to retreat.

"No retreat! If you retreat, we’re all dead."

Chen shouted loudly, casting a Big Fireball.

Thundering, the giant in the entrance was charred and gradually vaporized, while the giants behind it entered the entrance.

Thump, thump, bang, bang...

A variety of firearms went off like popping beans, halting the advance of the giants. Most giants were shot to pieces before even exiting the entrance.

Eren and the others looked at the scene in disbelief at the many Contractors.

"These prisoners are so strong."

"We have to be more cautious."

Mikasa cautiously watched the many Contractors, her dark eyes squinting.

"They might not be able to hold the defense for long, we need to think of a strategy."

Armin Arlert had noticed the Contractors’ weaknesses. If the people at the entrance were killed, the Titans would flood inside the walls. Once facing multiple Titans at the same time, the Contractors would surely lose.

The firepower continued, with several Titans falling at the entrance, forming a pile of bones on the ground, the bones of the Titans vaporizing much slower than the muscles.

The Contractors fought desperately to defend the entrance, with the Wild Bull’s shield in the front already somewhat twisted and deformed.

Right now, Wild Bull had only one thought, which was to run; he couldn’t hold on anymore.

A giant hand reached out from the entrance, grabbing the Wild Bull who quickly jumped away with a startled cry; the giant hand was just too fast.

"Not good, a Strange Species!"

The melee Contractors all charged forward; the Strange Species were a type of Titan, but their behavior was unpredictable. This one was different from ordinary Titans, moving on all fours and climbing quickly.

Bam, bam.

The Strange Species knocked down two Contractors, successfully breaking through the defense at the entrance.

The Strange Species differed greatly from ordinary Titans; regular Titans appeared dumb and usually walked slowly, their actions easily predictable.

But the Strange Species were different; they could spin, jump, and all sorts, approaching enemies in a ghostly manner. Some even crawled sideways like crabs.

"Quick, stop it!"

Chen’s eyes widened in anger; if the front line was broken, it would be all over.

Whew~, the sound of jet engines came, as Mikasa and others confronted that Strange Species.

The Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear allowed Mikasa to gallantly glide in mid-air, holding a Sharp Blade in each hand, her body spinning in the air before the two Sharp Blades sliced the back of the Strange Species’ neck.

Pieces of neck flesh flew up, the Strange Species fell to the ground, steam rising.

But just as this Strange Species died, five more Strange Species suddenly burst out from the entrance, giving the Contractors no time to defend.

These five Strange Species instantly disrupted the Contractors’ formation, causing them to flee in panic, dropping helmets and armor, as several ordinary Titans also emerged from the entrance.

"It’s over."

Blood Rose and Chen’s faces were extremely ugly; the ten-day limit task had barely lasted an hour before the defense line was broken, let alone sealing the entrance.

"Hey, Brother Bai Ye, if we keep watching, the mission will fail."

Entu put away his shotgun, pulling a Silver Necklace from his neck, with a palm-sized Silver Cross hanging from it.

"Vitality."

"Courage."

"Faith."

Three rings of different colors spread from Entu’s body.

[You have been blessed with ’Vital Ring’: Life Value recovery speed increased by 50%.]

[You have been blessed with ’Courage Ring’: Power Attribute +4.]

[You have been blessed with ’Faith Ring’: Resistance to abnormality increased by 20%.]

Entu turned out to be a ’healer’, providing as many as three aura boosts.

The Contractors were stunned by the auras; they had never seen such strong ones before.

[You have been blessed with ’Victory shout’, All Attributes +2, lasting 30 minutes.]

"Brother Bai Ye, am I sincere enough?"

Su Xiao, after a brief thought, decided to show his true skills; if he didn’t take action soon, the front line would fall, and then it would be a major problem. Blood Rose and Chen alone couldn’t hold the line.

"Your sincerity is appreciated."

Su Xiao put away the Broken Elf, Dragon Slash appeared in his hand, and his aura changed abruptly.

"So it’s this guy."

Blood Rose sliced open a Titan’s neck with one shot; the ordinary Titan fell down as expected. She’s a Contractor focused on Power with Agility as secondary, unable to match the ghostly speed of the Strange Species.

Su Xiao scanned his surroundings quickly, locking onto a Strange Species and ran rapidly towards it.

The Strange Species also saw Su Xiao, rushing at him on all fours.

Closing the distance rapidly, Su Xiao performed an agile side jump while charging forward, just avoiding the giant mouth of the Strange Species.

Dragon Slash whistled through the air, slicing the back of the Strange Species’ neck with one stroke.

Splurt.

A huge head flew into the air, the Strange Species beheaded with one stroke by Su Xiao.

Su Xiao was somewhat surprised; the Dragon Slash earlier sliced through the Strange Species’ muscle and bone like cutting tofu, without any resistance.

Although the Strange Species was dead, its body still charged ahead. Su Xiao stepped on its back, accelerating for a few steps, then jumping towards another Strange Species.

A streak of cold light appeared in the Strange Species’ line of sight.

Splurt.

Two strikes, two Strange Species fell.

Sssss~.

Scalding hot blood splattered on Su Xiao’s hand; he stood on the vaporizing body of the Strange Species, surrounded by mist, the cold glint in his eyes especially sharp as he searched for the next target.

"Finally understand why Paradise assigned us newbies; they’ve already set up an Adventure group leader level for us."

Blood Rose stared at Su Xiao, her eyes full of energy, realizing she had judged him wrong earlier.
