Chapter 140 The Best Partner
Arzak and Bisca couldn’t imagine how the first president commanded the battle.
But just looking at the key points that Rhode drew after listing the intelligence, it was already very helpful to them, especially Bisca.
As a sniper, being able to quickly find a suitable sniper position is already half the battle.
And Rhode only sent out wild monsters to quickly mark one suitable hiding position after another.
”Got it!” Rhode felt that a shadow wolf took the initiative to return to the Summoner’s Rift.
He immediately summoned the shadow wolf again and began to ask: ”Did you find a person or a base?”
When talking about people, he stretched out his left hand, and when talking about bases, he stretched out his right hand.
The shadow wolf stretched out its claws, first touching the right hand, and then the left hand.
“?” Rhodes thought for a moment, “Did they find the base, and then there were people in the base?”
The Shadow Wolf nodded.
Okay, it’s pretty serious.
It simply asked which mountain it was on, and it couldn’t describe any more complicated questions.
Rhodes thought about whether to try to teach the Shadow Wolf to write.
He sent back all the wild monsters that were searching the mountain, summoned the river crabs again, and let the two river crabs follow the Shadow Wolf one step ahead.
Arzak asked, “Aren’t we going?”
Rhodes thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go too. I can connect to the vision of the Canyon Swift Crab and lead the way in front. You two will be responsible for guarding the sides and the back, okay?”
Arzak nodded, “No problem.”
Bisca raised her sniper rifle and looked around, “It happens to be what I’m good at.”
With two professional gunmen on guard, Rhodes was relieved.
Thinking of Natsu’s fighting sense, Gray’s styling speed, and Wallian’s city-wide “announcement”, Rhode felt that maybe everyone in the guild had a unique skill.
This unique skill may not be reflected in the battle, but in their respective professional fields, they may be ranked among the best in the country.
Speaking of which, our Fairy Tail is itself one of the strongest guilds in the country.
Rhode wondered if he should also have a specialty.
It’s impossible for someone to ask: “All my companions have a national best, what is your national best?”
He answered: “My wife is the most beautiful in the country.”
This is not appropriate.
But it seems quite cool.
…
Before coming here, Mira said that the “steep terrain” here was indeed not in vain. Although it was not as steep as a cliff, it was indeed very difficult to walk.
Fortunately, the three of them were not ordinary people. Not to mention climbing vines, there would always be a way.
Rhodes would lead the way and clear the way.
When encountering a difficult place to climb, he could use the partial reception·shadow wolf to transform into a wolf claw and dig a small pit for the two people behind him to use.
Occasionally, he would try the partial reception·ancient stone beetle to see whether the wolf claw or the stone gauntlet was more convenient to dig a pit.
Arzak and Biska followed Rhodes at a distance.
The more Biska walked, the more she felt that it was great to team up with Rhodes, who could even take care of such a small matter.
Arzak also felt that it was great to team up with Rhodes, because they occasionally needed to help each other during the climbing process.
And Rhodes deliberately stayed so far away from them, so only he and Biska helped each other.
Mountain climbing is one of the best outdoor activities to get closer.
The three of them quickly climbed over the hill and carefully walked through the saddle between the two peaks. The bandits’ lair was not far away.
“Something’s going on!” Bisca held a sniper rifle and observed the distance through the scope.
Rod and Arzak stopped moving forward and guarded her on both sides. Arzak looked in the direction Bisca was looking at: “That’s… a carriage, is it a traveling merchant?”
Rod looked into the distance, the top of the mountain, the yellow and green woods, and a winding road at the foot of the mountain. It was not the way they came, but the road on the other side.
From this distance, the roadside trees have become a piece of yellow, where is the carriage?
”It’s the bandits who are blocking the road and robbing.” Bisca frowned. She was about to take action, but still asked, “Rod?”
”I can’t see that far, you judge.” At such a long distance, Rhode could only summon the raptors to let them fly over as soon as possible. Before the raptors arrived, he could only rely on his companions.
BiscaLooking at the target location: “There are ten bandits. Large-scale attacks may hurt innocent people. If you use the ‘sniper’, you can kill six at once, but…”
”Leave the rest to me. It’s a bit difficult to use a pistol at this distance. Do you have a spare sniper rifle?”
When it comes to tasks, Arzak speaks much more fluently than in the carriage, and his words are full of confidence.
”Change clothes!” Biska didn’t even move her hands, and a sniper rifle appeared beside her.
Arzak caught it accurately and raised the gun beside her.
”Respond to the call, ancient stone beetles.” Rhodes summoned a group of stone beetles and told them to lie on the ground.
”You are a great help.” The two set up sniper rifles on the backs of stone beetles, very good and stable.
”The six on the right are mine.”
”I’ll take the four on the left.”
The two simply assigned tasks, counted down to three seconds tacitly, and pulled the trigger together.
”Sniper·Sharpshooter!”
A small green magic circle appeared at the muzzle of Biska’s gun, and six magic bullets were fired at the same time, hitting the target accurately.
”Sniper·Electric Strike!”
Arzak’s magic was slightly different, he actually shot four times.
It’s just that the speed of reloading with magic is very fast, almost as soon as one bullet flew out of the muzzle, another one was already loaded.
Four bandits were shot one after another, and fell to the ground with golden arcs flashing on their bodies.
”Solved!” Arzak and Biska clapped their hands.
Then they immediately started to blush.
”Biska, you, your shooting skills are really good.”
”You, you too.”
Rod wanted to give them a bottle of Yida.
“I’ll go see the owner of the carriage, at least send him away from this area safely.” Rhode said, “You are responsible for vigilance here? If we encounter enemies…”
”No problem.” Alzak patted the stone beetle on the back, “With them, it doesn’t matter how many enemies we encounter!”
Bisca also said: “Yes, this is called the Ancient Stone Beetle, right? It’s great for gunners to be partners with them.”
What gunner doesn’t like a bunker that can understand orders, can be moved at will, and may be harder than stone?
What’s more, they can use some earth magic and can lead people to evacuate underground at any time.
The two really envied Rhode for having such a convenient summoned beast.
They even wanted to find Rhode to form a fixed team, so that he wouldn’t have to do anything else, and could just borrow the stone beetle every time they fought and watch from behind.
“Well, be careful.” Rhodes stretched out his arm, “Receive Shadow Wolf!”
Rhodes transformed into a werewolf, jumping and running quickly in the mountains and forests, heading towards the direction of the carriage.
Actually, he wanted to change into a raptor and fly down, but his flying level was about the same as that of a domesticated hen.
It feels like a cat with a pair of fake wings can fly better than him, so it’s not embarrassing.
