Chapter 21 Detailed Intelligence

Because he had advance knowledge of the North Sea Eighteenth Fleet’s detailed intelligence, Suren's plan took into account almost everything that would happen right now.

A set of "combination punches" caught the opponent off guard. Before the pirates could react, three battleships had already been sunk, and people had fallen into the water.

After he wielded the Black Scythe, swiftly killing two fourth-tier squad leaders and a group of lackeys, the squad captains finally reacted.

'Drunkard' Roberson is the first squad captain of the fleet. His Void Claw has super armor-breaking ability, and he has few opponents of the same rank. It was he who used the [Void Steel Claw] implant to cut off several octopus tentacles, thus preserving half of the ship. Although it was later cut through by Qian Tiao's sword qi, his strength is beyond doubt.

As everyone knows, the most direct way to deal with a puppeteer is to kill the manipulator.

Roberson stared at Suren on the sea with a cold gaze, and shouted: "Kill that puppeteer first!"

As he spoke, he exchanged glances with "Whale Hunter" Eleano of the fourth squad and "Python Fist" Tech of the ninth squad not far away.

The three fifth-tiers understood instantly and rushed forward.

...

Suren's Puppet Theater was positioned very cunningly, covering the area of the three sunken ships, which was also the most densely populated area.

Qian Tiao and Barrett had already joined forces to force the sixth-tier Dorosel far away from the sunken ship, allowing him to let go and control the puppet legion to fight.

The black umbrella amplified the soul perception range, and the soul fluctuations of everyone on and under the sea were clear. There were also Doom Birds circling in the sky, and vision sharing allowed Suren to clearly overlook everything on the sea. The ability to multitask also allowed him to perfectly control the entire battlefield.

This also meant that he could not be ambushed!

Even without looking, a casual wave of the Black Scythe would surely hit the target.

This almost complete coverage of perception also made the enemy impossible to defend against. No visual capture, no hostility perception, no aura targeting... No one knew where the space crack would appear next.

With a wave of the Black Scythe, a "lucky" one was randomly taken away.

It was as if the Grim Reaper was following him, and no one knew when the Black Scythe would reap their lives.

This forbidden object-level cursed object now unleashed its rank-equal killing power.

No one could stop it!

No one dared to appear where the scythe's blade pointed!

The emotion of panic was also spreading rapidly.

Just then, Suren sensed that the fifth-tier squad captain had disappeared from his perception, and his eyes suddenly sharpened.

He recognized that the leader was "Drunkard" Roberson, an assassin-type professional.

"Void ability" and assassin-type professionals were a perfect match, allowing their stealth to no longer be ordinary optical disappearance, but to遁入dùn rù (escape into) the void.

Suren didn't dare to be careless.

Suddenly, he sensed a spatial fluctuation behind him, and without any hesitation, he [Flashed] away from where he was standing.

Almost at the same time, the phantom left behind by his flash was caught by five void cracks and dissipated.

"What a sharp assassination technique!"

Suren's pupils shrank suddenly, because at this time, a round of arrow rain was coming head-on.

The one who attacked was the fourth squad captain, "Whale Hunter" Eleano, a sharpshooter whose weapon was a rare cursed object that could launch void arrows.

Suren had glanced at it before and identified it. This was an antique produced from the ruins, with an effective range of 300 meters, capable of ignoring armor defense.

Another very tricky cursed object.

What was even worse was that during Suren's flash, a guy stepping on the Sky-Stepping Steps had already rushed over. It was none other than the ninth squad captain, "Python Fist" Tech. The Sky-Stepping Steps, combined with the void displacement, were so fast that several afterimages were left in his vision.

The three fifth-tier professionals joined forces with tacit cooperation, almost sealing off all of Suren's escape routes.

Suren looked at the more than ten spatial arrows that were close at hand, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Instead of choosing to avoid them, he suddenly took out a black and white chessboard.

Faster than an arrow, a beam of light shot out, hitting the cold-blooded "Whale Hunter" Eleano.

When it comes to cursed objects, Suren has more than these pirates!

In just an instant, the surrounding light and shadows changed, and he suddenly appeared in the confined space of the black and white chessboard.

...

Arrow-wielding professionals have very fierce firepower and terrifying long-range sniping abilities.

But usually, professions have strengths, and they must have weaknesses.

The physical combat power of most arrow-wielding professionals is weak!

Therefore, arrow-wielding, sniper-type professionals are generally the key protection targets in a team.

Just like just now, this guy was guarded by an entire squad.

But Suren's [Steinitz's Chessboard] is effective for one-on-one duels, pulling people in directly without any reason.

The surrounding scenery changed.

Eleano's face changed drastically.

He reacted quickly, raising the longbow in his hand and condensing several more void arrows.

Suren didn't give him any chance, pinching the warlock seal, and a layer of dark golden runes appeared on his body surface, and he whispered in his heart: "Hormone Runaway Fourth Release!"

The spell was instantly condensed, and his muscles swelled up instantly. He stomped hard on the ground, and with a "pop", he rushed forward like a cannonball.

Eleano was horrified when he saw this, and wondered: He is obviously a puppeteer, how can he have such a fast speed?

But his movements were not slow, and he shot three arrows out with a whoosh.

Suren didn't dodge at all, and rushed up to meet the arrows.

Watching the arrows being an inch away from his forehead, [Flash] could be used again.

In this limited space, Suren's exaggerated speed made him rush directly in front of Eleano.

At this moment, this pirate squad captain's face was only left with disbelief and horror.

The spatial chessboard could not restrict professionals who could teleport, but Eleano couldn't!

This guy's advancement direction was not spatial displacement. In order to use the cursed longbow in his hand, he piled all his advancement choices on "output".

Originally, this was also normal. Professionals in a team did not need every member to be omnipotent.

The nanny's healing amount is enough, the tank can resist, and the output is good...

Everyone complements each other, which can multiply the combat power geometrically.

But now that Suren has turned it into "1v1", Eleano is completely confused.

He had peeled off enough "gray mist" from the corpses of those pirate lackeys, allowing Suren to know the abilities of several squad captains like the back of his hand.

Multitasking and super-high brain domain development have maximized the effectiveness in this complex battle. This allows Suren's brain to be like a high-speed computer, which can quickly process newly obtained information.

It was precisely because he had this information that he chose melee combat without hesitation.

After getting close, the Black Scythe slashed horizontally, and Eleano's weak body made it impossible for him to make extreme evasive actions after just releasing the arrow, so he could only watch helplessly as a space crack appeared around his waist.

The leather armor on his body was not ordinary either. Under normal circumstances, even if he encountered enemies of the same rank, it could protect him from fatal injuries.

Unfortunately, the Black Scythe in Suren's hand was a "forbidden object."

It was a silkiness without any pain. Eleano watched his upper and lower body separate, and his vitality faded away.

It wasn't that this squad captain wasn't strong enough, but from beginning to end, he had been thoroughly calculated without the same information.

...

[You have stripped the soul of 'Eleano May']

[You have obtained a large number of "space spell" casting skills, experience +751]

[Your understanding of the law of space has been improved...]

[You have stripped some information: 'The mortality rate of integrating the void is extremely high, and I can finally survive it. All the companions who were with me are dead, only I am left...']

[...]

After killing the target, Suren stripped the gray mist.

The degree of understanding of the law of a fifth-tier professional is not comparable to that of a low-level professional at all. The improvement that this group of gray mist brought to him was more than dozens of groups stripped before. It can save ten years of hard work.

Pirates at the squad captain level would know more secrets, and Suren also learned some information about the "Void Fleet" from this guy's soul.

The formation of this fleet was on piles of white bones.

Not everyone is suitable for integrating the void profession, but human lives are not worth much in this world. The King of the North Sea, Oleg, tried it with a large number of people. After countless distortions and deaths, only one in a hundred survived. Finally, there was this "Void Fleet".

Without time to think about it, Suren didn't look at the spoils, and stuffed the corpse and bow and arrow into the storage space.

The surrounding scenery changed, and he returned to the sea again.

...

The pirates didn't understand what happened at all, watching Suren disappear out of thin air, and then watching him appear out of thin air.

The whole process took less than ten breaths.

Most importantly, the fourth squad captain "Whale Hunter" Eleano, who disappeared with him, never appeared again!

The pirates didn't understand that the squad captain was probably in danger.

At the same time, Qian Tiao and Barrett, who were fighting fiercely in the distance, also saw the situation here.

Although it seemed that their two high-level combatants were the biggest factors affecting the outcome of this naval battle, they all understood that the most important variable was actually "Suren".

The battle situation was changing rapidly. In the blink of an eye, so many unexpected things had happened that Barrett was completely shocked and speechless.

Before, when he saw those dozens of Mechanical Octopuses appear, he thought Suren was a [Beast Tamer].

But now, looking at the silk threads and rune puppets all over the sky, he realized that he was a puppeteer?

But even so, he never expected that Suren alone could suppress more than a thousand people?

Which puppeteer can control hundreds of puppets at a time?

He can also multitask and fight with several professionals who are one major tier higher than him, and even kill one of them?

Looking at Suren in the distance, with the phantom of the Grim Reaper floating behind him, Barrett's eyes were extremely complicated.

Luying Imperial City is a concentration of talents. What rare A-level and B-level talents has he not seen?

But he had never seen the phantom of the Grim Reaper holding the Black Scythe in front of him.

He had never even heard of it!

But this did not affect his judgment that this was an extremely rare "S-level" talent.

Moreover, the appearance of a phantom also meant that this was also the second awakened state of the talent.

Barrett felt that today had used up all the shock in his life.

He had just seen a second awakened [Rakshasa Woman] and already felt that it was one in a billion, but he didn't expect to meet an even more special one.

Barrett himself was a second awakened [Talent C-071-Ape]. How could he not know that the higher the rank of talent, the greater the difficulty of development?

It is no exaggeration to say, how can a normal person awaken the second awakened form of this high-level talent without experiencing several deaths?

But these two guys in front of him are both...

Forget it, can't compare.

For the first time, Barrett felt that his title of "genius graduate of the Imperial City Military Academy" was so dim in front of these two.

It is said that they also have a very powerful and mysterious leader.

Barrett couldn't help but sigh, what kind of people are this "Dawn Group"!

...

Because Suren left, the Puppet Theater also lost its support, and rune puppets were floating everywhere on the sea.

After he appeared on the sea, the warlock seal was condensed again, and the cross in the sky slowly condensed again.

Seeing Suren being so "arrogant", how could those squad captains stand it?

Just when Suren appeared, "Drunkard" Roberson reappeared from the void, and grabbed again.

Suren also captured the soul fire that appeared behind him.

This guy is indeed a professional assassin. The timing he chose was very cunning. He happened to appear at the moment when Suren was condensing the spell. Normally, this grab would not be able to hurt anyone, but it could interrupt the casting of the spell.

Moreover, the killing intent was not just in one place.

On the other hand, the ninth squad captain "Python Fist" Tech also teleported and broke through the air, swinging his heavy fist.

This combined attack was so similar to just now.

Suren was clear that the chessboard could not control these two guys.

This time, he didn't make any extra moves. The warlock seal in his hand continued to condense, but a certain silk thread moved slightly, pulled by the spider spear.

The Doom Bird in the sky had already clearly seen that the assassin behind him was grabbing at the back of his head.

Suren tilted his head slightly, splitting the grab open.

The cooperation between these two squad captains was very tacit. Normally, as long as he chose to avoid it, he would definitely meet the heavy punch coming head-on.

But at this moment, a bizarre scene appeared!

The "Python Fist" Tech was originally going to kill Suren with one punch, but for some reason, his fist deviated slightly, as if he had suddenly changed his mind, and punched "Drunkard" Roberson directly.

The moment the picture was fixed was that Suren just tilted his head and dodged the sharp claws, and Tech's heavy punch hit Roberson's head strangely.

There was a muffled "dong" sound, like a hammer hitting a watermelon.

This punch, wrapped in distorted space, hit the face squarely.

Fortunately, the assassin professional's nerve reaction speed was extraordinary, and Roberson used extreme backward tilting to reduce the force by 70% to 80%.

Otherwise, his head would have been blown off by this punch.

Even so, this punch still sent the first squad captain flying out like a cannonball.

Suren took the opportunity to retreat dozens of meters, and the warlock seal in his hand was successfully condensed.

A hundred meters away, Roberson, with a bloody face, rolled over from the sea, furious: "Tech, what the hell are you doing?"

This punch almost killed him!

Tech looked at his fist with a ghostly expression, puzzled: "I... I don't know!"

He was clearly going for that guy, so why did he hit his companion?

All the pirates' eyes turned to the man with the expressionless face.

...

The cross in the sky has condensed again.

Suren breathed a sigh of relief.

With this "Puppet Theater", he regained the feeling of everything being under control.

Looking at the pirates on the opposite side who had not yet reacted, he said to himself with a calm expression: "I couldn't kill him... It's a pity."

However, in the next second, killing intent appeared!

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and his left hand suddenly made a grasping motion in the void, making a gesture of pulling the silk thread. At the same time, the Black Scythe in his right hand slashed down.

Tech, who was still in a daze, looked at the Black Scythe slashing towards him in the distance, with a look of horror on his face.

His instinctive sense of crisis made him stomp hard on the wooden board under his feet, wanting to use the force to dodge.

This kind of slash with obvious force trajectory would not be able to hurt him under normal circumstances.

But at the moment of dodging, he suddenly felt his body stiffen, and the spiritual power in his body stagnated uncontrollably for a moment.

"Not good!"

Tech discovered the abnormality in his body, and then he understood what had just happened: his body had been controlled!

How is this possible...

He clearly didn't suffer any mental illusions, so how could his body be controlled?

But reality could not allow him to think too much, he had clearly felt the space crack appearing on his neck.

At the moment when death came, Tech twisted his body to the limit, and narrowly avoided this space crack.

Avoided it?

No, he didn't!

Suren didn't slash once, but twice!

At this moment, Tech also realized that a space crack had appeared in his perception again.

The other party had even calculated that he would go to the right!

Tech's face was full of despair. At this moment, he had lost his center of gravity and could not avoid it at all.

He could only watch helplessly as the space crack cut off half of his head, and his eyes fell into endless darkness.

...

Suren, who was far away, looked at the head that was cut in half with an expressionless face, and muttered in his heart: "He is good at heavy leg kicks on the right side, which means that the left leg is often used as a supporting leg to exert force. Therefore, he is likely to dodge to the right."

This was the result of the information he had obtained and the details he had observed.

This guy was wearing shorts, and the lines of the leg muscles were clear at a glance. In fact, a professional in the fighter sequence can judge the usual force habits through some growth details of the body muscles.

As long as you can judge it, you can predict some stress responses.

Moreover, Suren also made an insurance, that is, he used silk threads to control the inclination angle of the water surface wooden board, which is difficult to be detected.

In order to maintain the center of gravity, that guy would most likely go to the right.

Therefore, he killed him with one blow.

As for why this squad captain hit the wrong person before, and why his body stiffened for a moment just now, it was because of the [Mental Tentacles].

Does a puppet master only know how to control puppets?

No, everything within sight is a puppet!

Suren was very clear that it was almost impossible for his current [Mental Tentacles] to control high-level professionals, but he could still do it if he wanted to change a little at a critical moment.

Mental tentacles are physical control, just like inserting silver needles, instantly blocking blood vessels and giving nerves some wrong signals, which is completely possible.

It just so happened that he had stripped a fifth-tier professional in the chessboard space before, and Suren's current understanding of the "Law of Space" had reached the level of a fifth-tier professional.

This also meant that he could use silk threads to break through Tech's body-protecting void barrier without being easily detected.

This is why the guy was misled by the wrong nerve signals just now, and his body was out of control for a moment.

On the battlefield, this kind of mistake is enough for him to lose his life.

...

The plan is interlocking.

He had been holding back from using the control ability of the [Mental Tentacles] for so long, just to trick a high-level professional.

Now it looks like it's just right.

Don't look at Suren just standing there, but in fact, countless transparent silk threads are floating around his body. If you can sense the energy fluctuations, then you can find that he is like a jellyfish at the moment, covered with "hair".

At this moment, those low-level lackeys were already covered with various "thread ends".

Those hair-like silk threads are difficult to be detected.

[The Weeping Banshee's Infinite Hair] has super intermittent characteristics, that is to say, it can be connected at any time.

Since the [Mental Tentacles] method has been exposed, Suren didn't plan to hide it anymore.

At this moment, a strange ferociousness appeared in his eyes. He made a grasping motion in the void with his ten fingers, pulling out countless silk threads, and shouted: "Puppet Art Profound Meaning Human Puppet Massacre!"

...

Three fifth-tier squad captains besieged a fourth-tier one, but not only did they not succeed, but two of them were killed in two rounds.

Seeing this strange battle situation, the pirates were all terrified.

The more than a thousand people all looked at the spider-spear Grim Reaper standing alone on the sea with horrified eyes.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and everyone forgot to attack.

He is clearly only at the fourth tier, why is he so ridiculously strong?

Black Scythe, silk thread, Grim Reaper phantom...

He has too many incredible methods in his hands.

Even fifth-tier professionals are not opponents.

The pirates really didn't know how to kill the person in front of them.

And then, an even more terrifying scene was staged.

At the moment when Suren's spell was completed and countless silk threads fell, the pirates thought they were going to face the puppet legion again. However, without any warning, their companions suddenly drew their blades and stabbed them.

"Mark, what are you doing!"

"I... I don't know! My body is out of control!"

"Damn it, Andrew, why did you kill me..."

"Oh my god, Jack Su, don't come near me!"

"Be careful, that guy has the ability to control the target's body... Everyone, stay away from the area covered by that cross."

"..."

For a time, muskets were fired randomly, and cannons boomed.

Those low-level lackeys were like puppets on the front line, shooting and stabbing at their companions.

Their consciousness was very clear, but their bodies were out of control.

For a time, it was like a thousand-person puppet show, which was very lively.

This group of pirates felt the terror of being dominated by the "puppet master" for the first time.

It was like when Suren first crossed over and saw Pestoia manipulating puppets in Stormwind Manor for the first time.

That kind of terror from the unknown is the real terror.

Is it really one against a thousand?

No, from the beginning of the battle, it was destined to be "legion" against "legion".

Suren's [Mental Tentacles] can turn the enemy into his puppet.

As long as he is controlled, he can "betray" immediately.

As soon as this move came out, it directly changed the situation of Suren fighting alone.

The pirates only had to defend against Suren alone before. Now, they also had to defend against the people around them. No one knew which companion would suddenly stab them.

Kill?

Since they are companions, how can you do it?

Now, even those fourth-tier and fifth-tier squad leaders instantly lost their fighting spirit.

They then realized that the man's face had been extremely calm from beginning to end.

That is a kind of

The terrifying calmness of the manipulator behind the puppet theater,

He dominates everything.

...

Suren was manipulating the pirates to kill each other, and the members of the "Dawn Group" and "Adjudication Group" in the distance also gathered around.

They were originally thinking of rushing over to help, but unexpectedly, during the time they were charging, "Mr. Suren" had already established the victory with his own strength.

But everyone's face showed an incredible look.

Even the members of the Dawn Group who knew Suren.

Thousands of people were killing each other, and the blood dyed a large area red. What a terrifying picture was this?

In addition to the shock, everyone cheered excitedly and chased after the fleeing pirates.

...

On the other hand, Barrett, who was far away, also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this.

Suren fought fiercely against three squad captains and killed two fifth-tier ones.

With a weird control method, he caused more than a thousand pirates to fall into chaos.

Barrett was already numb with shock.

Taking a breath of cold air, he sighed: "This guy's combat power... is enough to抵得过dǐ dé guò (match) a legion!"

Methods are one thing, but Barrett could not see that the extremely precise ability to calculate the battlefield was the most terrifying...

It's like dancing with knives and swords. Any mistake can be irreversible.

But he did it.

Without any errors.

He is inhumanly calm.

In addition to the emotion, there was more ecstasy.

Barrett knew that in the current situation, as long as he and this Miss Qian Tiao could continue to hold back "Ghost Hand" Dorosel, the pirates' defeat was doomed. Their Dawn Group finally survived this time.

But this Dorosel has super space displacement ability, and Barrett believes that he can't keep him.

In the end, he will probably let this guy escape.

But at this moment, Qian Tiao's communicator seemed to have received some news.

She slashed out a sword qi, retreated a large distance sharply, and then shouted to Captain Barrett: "Captain Barrett, get ready to attack!"

"???"

When Barrett heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

What do you mean?

Isn't this still a fight?

He thought he heard it wrong.

At this moment, in Barrett's confused eyes, he watched Qian Tiao's momentum, which was already amazing, suddenly increase greatly.

Looking again, the original six-armed Rakshasa phantom behind her slowly condensed into a golden-lacquered实体形態shí tǐ xíng tài (physical form).

A terrifying pressure suddenly suppressed the audience.

"This...this....this!"

Barrett seemed to be petrified, his expression stiff.

This is definitely not the second awakened state of the Rakshasa Woman!

He then realized that she had not been serious from beginning to end?!
