Chapter 188: Chapter 47: Chain Reaction

The Armored Titan sprinted at full speed ahead, with a large number of Survey Corps members pursuing in a group from behind, the sound of hooves merging into one.

Su Xiao stood firmly on the shoulder of the Armored Titan, raised his gun, adjusted the angle, took a steady breath, and fired.

Bang.

The bullet exited the barrel.

Ding,

A crisp sound of metal collision echoed.

The bullet could be considered to have hit the enemy, but the enemy did not fall.

The Survey Corps members weren’t going to passively take blows forever. After Su Xiao shot and killed more than a dozen members of the Survey Corps, these guys removed the ’Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear’ from their waists, combined two ’Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gears’ together and held them in front, forming a shield barely able to block the upper body.

Although doing this had the risk of falling from the horse, it was life-saving.

Even so, the original large force of nearly eight hundred members of the Survey Corps was now reduced to just over six hundred.

Unable to easily kill the Survey Corps members, Su Xiao wasn’t stubborn, if he couldn’t hit people, he’d shoot the horses.

In a situation where horses and people were tumbling, even if the Survey Corps members weren’t killed, they would be seriously injured and absolutely unable to continue the pursuit.

The Survey Corps’ second combat force, Mick Zacharias, was forced to leave the team because of this, that guy even broke a leg.

After the Armored Titan ran wildly for more than an hour, Su Xiao fired over two hundred bullets.

The Broken Elf in his hand was heating up, and its durability declined by one-sixth.

Su Xiao’s spear ability had obviously improved a lot. Compared to the human torso, the body of a horse was significantly bigger.

Bang, bang, bang....

After a six-shot volley, the Broken Elf spun a few times in Su Xiao’s hand, his feel for it getting better and better.

Six shots took down four horses, those Survey Corps members who fell from their horses were either injured or knocked unconscious, and not one caught up again.

Falling from a full-speed galloping horse was definitely a terrifying thing, even if not trampled by the companions behind, breaking several bones was inevitable.

Su Xiao waited for the Broken Elf to finish reloading, while Ani and others were no longer tense.

Given the current situation, the idea that the Survey Corps could catch up with them was a pipe dream.

As long as they didn’t run into the forest, the Survey Corps’ ’Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear’ would be nothing but scrap metal.

Two minutes later, after reloading, Su Xiao fired six more shots, this time taking down three horses, and one unlucky Corps member got shot in the head.

Continue to wait for reloading.

Su Xiao’s side was enjoying clear skies, while the Survey Corps was under ominous clouds.

"This is absolutely not working, we need to find a way."

Levi’s forehead veins were bulging, he had never felt so frustrated before. If they lost head-on, he wouldn’t mind, but now they didn’t even have a chance to get close.

"Should we discard the Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear? That way we’ll be faster."

Petra Ral suggested, but then immediately dismissed her own idea, it was a foolish plan. Even if they caught up without it, how could they fight against a Giant?

"If some people discard the Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear and catch up to hold them down, the follow-up troops would have a chance."

Hanji Zoe made a decision in the midst of the predicament.

"This won’t work."

Levi immediately dismissed it.

"Why?"

Hanji Zoe looked at Levi in surprise.

"If the Leader were still alive, it might work. But if we two give such an order, there will be problems within the Survey Corps."

Hanji Zoe cursed quietly in frustration, Levi had a point.

Casting away the Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear to rush forward was sending the members to their deaths. If she issued such an order, it would surely cause issues.

Hanji Zoe glared hatefully at Su Xiao in the front, his choice to kill the Leader first was too vicious, now the Survey Corps was struggling to exert even fifty percent of their full strength.

The pursuit continued. Although Su Xiao could only fire six shots each time, the reload every two minutes ensured he was continually pushing the Survey Corps back.

After two hours of such pursuit, the Survey Corps had only over five hundred people left.

The consecutive shooting made Su Xiao’s aim increasingly precise. Now he could knock down four horses on average with six shots.

After reloading the Broken Elf, Su Xiao aimed at Hanji Zoe.

The insecure feeling of not being able to hit the target had disappeared; although not a sharpshooter yet, Su Xiao had now mastered basic shooting skills.

With the 21 points in Power Attribute making his arms as steady as a rock, 17 points in Agility granting exceptional nerve reaction speed, and 17 points in Intelligence Attribute plus Heart’s Eye significantly enhancing his Perception Force.

With the support of these ’hardware’ and high-intensity shooting practice, his spear ability could at least ensure he didn’t miss the target entirely.

As for hitting the bullseye every time, that was just a dream.

Calming his breath, the already somewhat hot Broken Elf made Su Xiao realize that firing continually a thousand times was impossible; his body could sustain it, but the Broken Elf couldn’t.

Bang.

The bullet exited, the faint red bullet whistling past Hanji Zoe’s ear.

Feeling the hair on her temple cut off, along with the heat from the bullet, Hanji Zoe instinctively ducked her head.

Bang.

Another shot.

Whoosh~, this shot skimmed past the left side of Hanji Zoe’s horse, the well-trained horse showed no response, as long as it wasn’t hit, it wouldn’t stop running.

Bang.

The third shot.

With a crisp ding, this shot struck the ’Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear’ Hanji Zoe held in front, the impact force from the bullet caused Hanji Zoe’s body to lean backward, but her legs clamped tightly to the horse’s belly.

Bang.

The fourth shot.

With a squelch, a burst of blood sprang up from Hanji Zoe’s lower abdomen, a fist-sized bloody hole appeared on her lower abdomen.

"Ah!!"

Hanji Zoe yelled, her legs clamped tightly to the horse’s belly, having a look of determined to die on horseback if necessary.

Bang.

The fifth shot.

The horse under Hanji Zoe let out a shrill neigh, the horse’s body flipped forward, the whole horse tumbled in mid-air then crashed to the ground.

Acting Leader of the Survey Corps, Hanji Zoe, fell from the horse, out of the Survey Corps’ pursuit lineup.

This situation triggered a chain reaction, over half of the Survey Corps members tightened their reins, ceasing the pursuit.

If even Hanji Zoe, the acting Leader, had been defeated, they too were unwilling to continue chasing.

This was just an excuse though; after being target practice for two hours, these people’s endurance was near the brink of collapse.

But they weren’t afraid of battling Giants, they weren’t even afraid of death, but this kind of battle where they couldn’t fight back left them very unwilling.

The Giant’s steps showed no sign of slowing down. If things continued this way, they’d all die.

The Survey Corps had dwindled from over eight hundred at the start, to just about a hundred left now.

It wasn’t because the Survey Corps wasn’t strong, but the continuous day and night march had nearly exhausted the horses, the fact that these warhorses could last till now was already impressive.

Among the remaining hundred or so, over half were beginning to waver, and Levi Commander at the front was their final psychological support.

Su Xiao also noticed Levi charging at the forefront, but he didn’t immediately open fire, he was waiting for the Broken Elf to be fully loaded with six bullets.
