Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first?-Chapter 302 - 100 Interlocking Links

Hiding Mia and Eleanor, Peggy was the first to leave the team... From the outset, all the tactical actions taken by everyone were actually centered around "eliminating the distant sniper".

As soon as everyone stepped onto the battlefield, Medea felt a faint malice from 600 meters away through her "Conspiracy" ability.

This malice was fleeting, yet it indicated that someone had seen her and briefly harbored killing intent towards her.

Given that the location was 600 meters away, this person was likely a sniper.

In the present era, beneath demigods, average humans were vulnerable, and various tactical firearms posed the greatest threat to everyone.

After all, if someone close by hacks at you with a blade, you can block or evade it, and if you really can’t dodge and take damage, as long as you’re not dead, Nora can heal you in time.

However, a sniper rifle can blow your head off with one shot, and unless you’re a Transcendent with a physical specialty, you’re likely to die on the spot.

Therefore, the first move was to have Mia take Eleanor to hide in the Shadow Realm to reduce the enemy Commander’s battlefield perception pressure.

At the same time, to ensure that the enemy would not use a sniper, Medea and Nora had to interfere with the opponent’s thoughts.

They pretended to be initiating a lengthy Mind Control to lure the female sniper into shooting and being "interrupted," when in reality, they were quickly deploying their Thought Implant ability in secret.

"Harassing Sigrdrifa," "Insidious encirclement of Medea and Nora," "Forcing Miel to switch her fire," "Assassinating Thira first," and most crucially, "Temporarily keeping the sniper from acting," all the tactics previously conceived by the man in sunglasses did not stem from his own brain’s creative thinking but were implanted in his mind by the two through Mind Power.

As the tactic seemed very feasible and the corresponding thought was continuously reinforced by Mind Power, the man in sunglasses had been focusing on implementing it, neglecting other battlefield details.

Then Peggy broke away from the formation, finding the sniper first and forcing him to open fire. Miel, using the muzzle flashes, locked onto the enemy’s position from afar and, together with Peggy, prioritized taking him down.

Aske had not acted at all throughout because he was ready to assist and rescue everyone at any moment. If the tactic failed and the enemy’s sniper fired, then he would have to use the Ilanian Instant Step to get there in time and launch the Star Nine Forms’ Rapid Fire to intercept the sniper rifle bullet.

But that would undoubtedly be much more troublesome.

Therefore, the pivotal point of this battle was not here from the start, but on the sniper 600 meters away!

The sniper, realizing that all the illusions he shot with his handgun were not real targets, looked shocked and uncertain, and suddenly his "Intuition" ability wildly warned him.

Imminent danger was approaching!

He quickly rolled aside, and a volley of bullets hit where he was just moments before.

A gunman! Was there a gunman nearby?! No, the direction of the bullets came from a distance...

It was the Half-elf Girl Sniper!

Another string of bullets came flying, and as if not needing to aim at all, the shooter sent a line of fire straight at him.

He rolled behind a tree, and the bullets ratted through it; he quickly rolled again, changing direction, and the bullets suddenly followed him.

No! That wasn’t a sniper rifle! A sniper rifle couldn’t possibly have that rate of fire! Could it be an automatic assault rifle?

But that was a distance of more than 600 meters! That had gone beyond the effective range of an assault rifle, hadn’t it? How could it have such high shooting accuracy?

Miel, kneeling in the distance, held her gun and fired away, feeling fortuitously enlightened.

She had turned her "Luck" ability to its maximum, and her luck was now through the roof. The vibration of her arm muscles, the fluctuation of her breath, the harmonic vibration of the gun barrel, even the direction of the wind and the vibration of the bullet itself were all appropriately "helping" her adjust the impact point of her shots, firmly locking on to the enemy sniper.

If it weren’t for the Sniper possessing the "Agility X" Sequence, enhancing his movement ability, he would have been blown apart by the bullets by now.

"I’m exposed! Requesting support!" The sniper called for help on the radio channel, but his instinct warned him once again, and after dodging the gunfire, finding cover behind a dip in the hill, he realized he had been surrounded once again by five girls wielding Great Swords.

Were these more illusions? Was it the real thing? Confused thoughts flickered through his mind, and the next second he had his answer.

Five Hot Melt Blades simultaneously pierced into his neck, chest, abdomen, shoulders, and thigh, and the wounds were cauterized the moment they bled, with high temperatures spreading wantonly through his flesh.

"Executed!" Peggy responded in the channel.

"Mia!" Aske shouted orders.

From the shadow of the stump at the top of the hill, Mia leaped out swiftly, appearing at the same moment as Eleanor, the imposing Power Armor Knight emerging from Fire Island, effectively sealing off their enemy’s retreat.

From the moment they realized something was amiss, to the sniper being encircled and killed, to the appearance of Mia and Eleanor, the entire sequence of events took less than 10 seconds.

Now, understanding the enemy’s tactical intent, the man in sunglasses was filled with a sense of overwhelming despair.

Their first stratagem had been to split their forces in advance and kill their far-off sniper.

The second was to begin by concealing both individuals in the Shadow Realm, luring him into attacking and misleading him into believing he had successfully killed them.

Although he did not know how they remained unharmed in the Shadow Realm, full of light, all of these were clearly part of the enemy’s plan. With those two out of the way, the pressure on the front line wasn’t too heavy, and he, therefore, lowered his guard.

The third stratagem was to use the mind mage’s interference with thoughts, making sure he overlooked the previous two strategies, resulting in him falling into the trap without any suspense.

Each stage was interlocked, each covering the other, from beginning to end he had been playing right into the enemy’s hands, like a puppet on strings, tactically outclassed.

Now, his own side had lost their ace in the hole, and the enemy’s ace had just been played at this very moment, signifying their doom.

against 6, with the enemy having two Power Armor Knights—an extremely disadvantageous situation, beyond salvation.

The Great Sword Warrior clutching the Great Sword rushed backward, attempting to intercept Mia and Eleanor. The former burst forth with an Instant Step, moving sideways to dodge his charge, while Eleanor brazenly confronted him, raising her shield to block the slash of his Great Sword.

One hit, two hits! His hacking strikes were with utmost effort, his bronze muscles tensing to the extreme, as if they were about to burst from the strain.

But her shield remained as immovable as a mountain, and even while blocking his slashes, there was an undercurrent of retributive force transmitted from his blade, like the roiling currents beneath a calm sea.

Suddenly, his view of the shield abruptly enlarged! Eleanor had seized the moment when his strength was spent after the hack, her left-hand shield striking his body, her right-hand Long Spear shooting out like a venomous snake.

Dragon Continuous Attack. Starting Move, Dragon Spear! ƒгeewebnovёl_com

The Long Spear lifted the opponent into the air, she spun 180 degrees, and crashed him heavily down onto the ground behind. His muscles rebounded from the severe impact, Eleanor swung out her left arm, Shield blocking the bullets coming from behind, her right hand thrusting the spear in a Multiple Cloud Piercing sequence.

In an instant, sturdy muscles were torn by the metal, three piercing wounds gushed blood like fountains, and at last Eleanor spun around, her Long Spear swung up to the widest arc as if it were a golf club, then with all her might, an Iron Cutting strike sent the enemy flying.

The enemy’s body flew through the air, bent bizarrely at the waist, the upper and lower halves nearly folded together—Eleanor’s Iron Cutting had unmistakably broken the opponent’s spine.

Mia took advantage of Instant Step to widen the distance, her speed nearly maxing out as the female sniper switched fire towards her. She quickly traced a large arc to move sideways, dodging a series of bullets.

Due to the female sniper’s switch of fire, Medea and Nora were relieved from the attack and suppression. The man in sunglasses hurriedly cast a giant Fireball, only to find that he had lost sight of them.

Gone? No, it was a "Mind Blind Zone"!

The man in sunglasses felt a sinking feeling in his heart. His earlier oversight of the Mind Blind Zone was likely a result of the enemy mind mage’s interference with his thoughts.

Now that victory was ensured, the enemy no longer interfered.

Similarly, one of the twin Swordsmen who was searching for the two Magicians, also immediately stopped cautiously, trying to anticipate a possible attack from the concealed enemy.

Seconds later, he suddenly felt an extreme mental fatigue, and knowing he had been ensnared, he wildly swung his Longsword, yet didn’t hit anything around him. Medea, controlling him, cautiously maintained her distance, giving him no opportunity.

The Swordsman looked up again, his eyes now showing the blankness of being under Mind Control. He stiffly held the Longsword and charged forward, the blade aimed directly at the man in sunglasses behind him.

Then, raging Flames burst out all around him.

"Brother!" The twin Swordsman, who was entangled with Sigrdrifa, roared and dropped her to charge at the man in sunglasses.

He had not seen his brother being Mind Controlled; his gaze had just shifted when he saw the Flames from the man in sunglasses explode on his brother’s body, reducing him to black char.

The female sniper quickly shifted fire toward him as well, showing no mercy to the turncoat companion. Bullets rained down like a storm, the Swordsman frantically waved his Longsword, some bullets being split by the blade, while many more penetrated his body, creating honeycomb-patterned blood holes.

He fell to the ground, weakened, the fragmented Longsword twisted out of his hands.

"Tsck, brotherly love," Medea said mockingly, while Nora frowned slightly, appearing slightly unsettled.
