Chapter 1630 Smir Chain Supervisor!
As everyone knows,
Just as Xu Xiao and Ma Han were on high alert.
Far beyond visual range, in the planetary rings a full eight thousand kilometers away, the instigator was already preparing to quietly leave.
"Smir Chain Commander, the ultimate weapon [Staff of Heavenly Punishment] still has three uses left, why didn't you continue?"
"Judging from the intelligence transmitted back by the worms, the Chosen One Xu Xiao cannot easily handle our offensive."
"She couldn't even find where we were..."
A mercenary who looked like a deputy looked puzzled and asked.
However, the Oglin fox-man Smir, who was flying at the forefront, did not respond immediately.
After a long silence, he asked in return:
"So, you think we should stay there and use up the remaining uses of the ultimate weapon, the Staff of Heavenly Punishment?"
The deputy nodded:
"It looks like there's a good chance of killing Xu Xiao directly!"
Smir repeated his deputy's words with a cold laugh:
"It seems like there's a good chance of killing Xu Xiao outright?"
"Don't you know what level of combat power Xu Xiao has?"
The deputy met Smir's mocking gaze and slowly shut his mouth.
The fox-man continued:
"She is a chosen one, a chosen one who has already stepped one foot into the realm of divinity!"
"You think you can take down a Chosen One with a single, deadly item?"
"Is the temperature on the ring so low that it froze the mush in your brain?!"
"But...but it really looked promising just now..." the deputy tried to argue.
After all, he had seen the footage that the tagalong had just sent back very clearly.
Xu Xiao is very strong,
However, it also struggles to cope with the attacks of the ultimate item, the Staff of Heavenly Punishment.
If they could use up all the remaining opportunities at once and concentrate their firepower on the woman, they might actually achieve unexpected results.
As soon as the deputy finished speaking, a strong white light began to surge on the surface of the planet behind them, quickly condensing into a giant eye.
His pupils exuded a strong sense of holiness, as if a single glance would reveal the most sordid secrets in one's heart.
His eyes kept scanning the ring, as if searching for something.
It's no surprise that this was a reconnaissance tactic employed by Xu Xiao, the Chosen One.
The other side has realized that the person who launched the sneak attack may not be inside the planet's atmosphere, but in space.
“See, that’s what you call ‘very promising’,” Smir said silently, quickening his pace and speaking with a cold, mocking tone.
"What would be the consequences if I evacuated too late?"
"I...I'll die..." The second-in-command looked at the huge single eye floating in the darkness and began to feel afraid.
"Hmph." Smir gave a noncommittal sneer and made no response.
But I asked again:
"So, do you still think there's a problem with me leaving before using up the remaining three uses of the [Staff of Heavenly Punishment]?"
"No, no problem!" the deputy replied immediately, his voice trembling.
"Chain Supervisor's wisdom and strategy are truly admirable!"
Smir stopped talking and just kept going.
Perhaps it was the unsettling silence that made them feel uneasy.
Or perhaps they are desperate to make amends, so as not to appear so incompetent.
After flying for a while, the co-pilot took the initiative to start a conversation again:
“Chain Supervisor, this Chosen One Xu Xiao is so powerful that he is clearly beyond our ability to deal with.”
"Isn't it a bit unreasonable for the colonists to assign you this task?"
Smir glanced at his deputy, his expression softening slightly:
"So what if I force someone to do something they don't want to do? Can I refuse a mission?"
“I’m not like you mercenaries who risk your lives for money and can just leave whenever you want.”
"If I show even the slightest sign of incompetence in front of the colony, my fate will be death!"
"It might even be more painful than death!"
A hint of sympathy flickered in the deputy's eyes.
Unbeknownst to me, I had grown closer to this 'parachuted' chain supervisor.
We're all powerless to control our own lives!
“But you don’t need to worry too much.” Smir took in his deputy’s changing expression and a barely perceptible sly smile appeared on his lips.
He changed the subject and said:
"No matter how strong Xu Xiao is, he is still just a player in the end."
“As long as she doesn’t become a god, I have a way to deal with her.”
"You don't need to consider anything else, you just need to obey me completely."
"I promise to ensure your safety and not put you in danger easily."
Upon hearing this, the deputy and the other accompanying mercenaries showed a hint of gratitude in their eyes, and immediately responded in unison:
"Yes, Chain Supervisor."
However, promises are promises, and being moved is being moved.
Before they understand the true situation, the mercenaries will not entrust their lives entirely to Smir.
Taking advantage of the relatively harmonious relationship between superiors and subordinates, the deputy boldly pressed on, asking:
"Chain Supervisor, I am too stupid to guess how to deal with a powerful chosen one like Xu Xiao."
"Judging from that horrifying scene just now, even if we use a trap made of sure-kill items to lure and kill them, it might not work, right?"
“As a mercenary for a corporation, and my second-in-command, your curiosity is excessive.” Smir turned his head, a dangerous glint in his eyes:
"There's been too much nonsense."
"I..." The deputy was speechless.
His long experience of living on the edge of a knife made him immediately sense danger, and he quickly spoke up:
"I won't ask anymore, I won't ask anymore."
The group flew at high speed for a while longer until they landed on an inconspicuous meteorite.
“Alright, you can go back now. Keep your distance from Xu Xiao, continue to monitor him, and report any developments immediately.” Smir said as he walked towards a small cave ahead.
There was a teleportation array he had set up there, allowing for quick travel to and from a certain trading main star.
The mercenaries responded again, watching Smir's figure disappear in a flash of light.
Only after confirming that he had completely left did the deputy breathe a sigh of relief and mutter to himself:
"A mediocre Oglin orc dares to boast that he can take down the Chosen One... In the end, he probably won't even know how he died..."
Upon hearing this, the others did not respond, but the contemptuous expressions on their faces betrayed their true thoughts.
"Let's go, let's go back and continue monitoring."
The deputy also showed no interest in talking to anyone else.
He was the leader of this squad, and if Smir hadn't parachuted in, he would have been in charge of all the big and small matters within the squad.
The other end.
The teleportation array's light faded, and Smir emerged from it, walking hurriedly.
At this moment, he had lost the cold demeanor he had as a leader. He was now slightly hunched over, his posture very humble.
He did not report the latest progress to his nominal superior, Shi Bashi.
Instead, he swayed and headed towards the building where Shi Aotian was.
