Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first?-Chapter 524 - 34 Practical Exercise Discussion
In the BI surveillance room.
"This guy..."
"Could he be from the Assassin Organization?"
"His assassination technique is impressive!"
On the screen, the left side was still a live broadcast, while the right side had become a multi-angle replay of Aske’s Illusion Sword Avatar’s spectacular assassinations, edited by Raphael.
First, an avatar rushed out to attract attention, while three or four other avatars swiftly flanked and launched a surprise attack from the sides, instantly stabbing all the gang members behind the cover to death.
The remaining gang members quickly realized someone was infiltrating from behind, so they promptly assigned people to specifically defend the side route.
As a result, Aske let his avatars turn into bats, silently flying across the ceiling, then landing behind them in human form to unleash a merciless spree of backstabbing and slaughter.
The remaining gang members had no choice but to cluster in small groups, watching each other’s backs to guard against sudden ambushes.
However, the downside of being spread out was insufficient firepower, which allowed Aske’s avatars to directly charge head-on, covering for each other until they were close enough to unleash a combination of flesh explosions and face-covering toxins, quickly eliminating these small groups of gang members.
Finally, with no other option, the remaining members gathered together and poured fire at Aske’s avatars in a frenzied manner.
Then... there was no then, because soon someone started to bend over coughing, coughing so hard they could hardly stand straight.
Having a sudden illness in the heat of battle naturally exposed a fatal gap in their firepower. Before the other comrades could react and support, several of Aske’s avatars had already rushed in and self-destructed.
A clean sweep.
The battle over, in the corpse-strewn underground garage, Aske dismissed the remaining avatars and asked Peggy,
"Did you understand everything?"
"I understand," Peggy counted on her fingers, "Attracting attention for a backstab, bat transformation for infiltration assassinations, avatar cover for a frontal assault, and using plague to create openings for assassinations. You demonstrated four different assassination methods."
"That’s right," said Aske, "You don’t have to memorize the methods of assassination by rote. In fact, with the variety of your Sequential Abilities, you can combine them in many different ways."
"The key is how to use the amplification effect of the Undead Illusion Sword’s avatars and incorporate it into your tactical fighting style. The Undead Illusion Sword’s features are ’army of one’ and ’one-time avatars’, so what kind of tactics can match these features?"
"Self-destruction," Peggy said, "By infiltrating through a large number of avatars, breaking through the enemy’s defenses, and then using the most powerful lethal methods, such as toxin self-destruction."
"Or, Curse Death and Withering," Aske added, "Did you notice? When an avatar from the Undead Illusion Sword initiates a Sequential or Law Skill, the spiritual consumption comes from your own body."
"Hm," Peggy pondered.
"The combination of Undead Illusion Sword+Death Law and Undead Illusion Sword+Flesh+Toxin differ; the former is not for slaughtering the weak. In fact, the further we go, the stronger the enemies we face. For instance, when facing a Physical Demigod, their reaction and movement speed are beyond that of ordinary people, and they will not give you a chance to aim with Curse Death. What do you do?"
"Use avatars to pressure and restrict the enemy’s movement, then sneak up close to launch skills," Peggy replied.
"Correct," Aske said with satisfaction, "Go back and think it over, compile all your skills, and polish them into a combat system that is uniquely yours."
"Yeah, yeah," Peggy was also a little pleased, the Squad Leader designed tactics for me, hehe.
"What about you?" Aske turned to the two Golden Skulls, "Are you still broadcasting? Did your mistress and the Church Court see it?"
Golden Skulls: ......
Kapaxilin watching the live broadcast: ......
The priests in the sneaky BI surveillance room: ......
The live footage transmitted by the Golden Skulls was secretly monitored by the Church Court! Kapaxilin on the plane suddenly realized the critical point:
There’s a mole in our family’s communication network!
Our communication network of the Golden Skulls is being secretly monitored, how did Aske know about this! The priests responsible for surveillance also realized the trouble:
Wait, if Kapaxilin is also watching the live broadcast, doesn’t she know as well?
For a moment, both sides sensed a deep malice from one another.
"Is someone watching us?" Eleanor and Peggy were suddenly alarmed, warily glancing at the two golden skulls.
As for who the "person" doing the surveillance was, Aske had made it very clear.
"What should we do, Squad Leader?"
"It’s fine." Aske waved his hand dismissively. Let them watch, after all, even some of the valuable training videos he used when he was a captain had leaked due to poor club management, and it wasn’t as if any rookie had watched his videos and become an expert.
After all, to become a top professional player, there was just so much to master. Even for the girls of The Azure Longsword Mercenary Corps who had followed him for a year, and that included their own exceptional parts, their current strength was only slightly above or below the average professional level, in the middle of the second-tier, still far behind those top experts. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Eleanor was about to express her concerns when suddenly they heard a low gunshot from above.
"Someone is invading the outer base." It seemed they had received an alert from Vesta, as the two golden skulls immediately said, "Stay here and do not move. Our Squad Leader will organize a counterattack."
"What’s the identity of the invaders?" Aske inquired with composure, "Is it remnants of the Voodoo Gang?"
"No," the golden skull replied, "they are a private security company like us."
Their voice paused, then added, "The ’Lion of Florence’ from the Medici Family."
———
The airplane had already arrived at the airport in Sicily. Stepping out of the cabin, Nora felt the sea breeze and remarked with a smile:
"It really has been a long time since I’ve been here."
"Mm." Kapaxilin was somewhat distracted, "Wait here for a second, I need to make a phone call."
She hurried toward a secluded conference room in the airport, and Nora watched her sister’s retreating figure with a puzzled expression.
Elsewhere, the BI monitoring room was in an uproar.
"Why would the Lion of Florence appear on the Voodoo Gang’s turf and clash with the golden skulls?"
"Quick, report to the Cardinal! Also, inform Bishop Celestine from the strategy department!"
"Lord, should we send a message to question the Medici Family?"
"Not yet! Wait for instructions from above!"
"Three R4s are still on the second floor of the underground garage; should we stop them from meeting with the Lion of Florence?"
"Any movement from the R4 targets? If not, leave them be!"
"Wait, they’re moving! They’re saying they’re going to make a move!"
In the building’s underground garage, Aske uttered, "Why are they attacking you?"
"According to Vesta’s analysis, it seems their mission target was also the Voodoo Gang, hence the conflict with our mission," the golden skull replied. "The lady of the house has already sent an inquiry to the Medici Family, so for now you should just stay here without getting involved."
"What if the Medici Family doesn’t reply and they attack here?" Aske continued, "I recall that most of your forces are currently in the upper floors of the building, right?"
"If that’s the case, we’d be in danger," replied the golden skull. "Because they would cut off our contact with the main forces on the higher floors if they attacked from the ground level."
Their voice paused again, then announced:
"Status update, they have seized the ground floor of the building."
"Our situation is now dire."
"Oh, that’s good news," Aske clapped his hands and laughed, "Eleanor, Peggy, all those things I just taught you, now you have a chance to practice them in real combat, right?"
Eleanor and Peggy: ...
There it was! Something only the Squad Leader would say! The "real combat training" theory of using live enemies as training subjects!
