Chapter Seventy-One: Grasping That Morning Star

  In the previous life, the Morning Star Mercenary Corps was originally a third-rate mercenary corps. After obtaining the legacy of the Elf King's Court, its strength soared rapidly. In just a few years, it rose to become one of the most renowned first-rate mercenary corps on the Arad Continent, participating in explorations across various regions.

  In the Morning Star Mercenaries, the two most famous individuals are the half-elf wandering gunhands - Captain Odelle and siege expert Erin. Although they have no blood relation, they are often referred to as the "Twin Gun Sisters" of the Morning Star team, just like the "Iron Triangle" of the Falcon Team, legendary figures whispered among adventurers.

  The Falcon Squad had also collaborated with Morning Star at the time, and as a result, Mide had some contact with the two sisters. However, he knew them when they were already famous, whereas now Eileen was just an inexperienced rookie, and it was normal that Mide couldn't recognize her despite feeling familiar.

  In this life, at this moment, since Mi Di has already known the other's identity, then going together is naturally the best policy.

  Although he was a reincarnator with memories of his past life, the adventure of Mide and others at that time could not be considered successful, and the inheritance of the royal court obtained was not much. Many related strategies were also heard after the fact, and there was no grasp of the details on the scene.

  If we can cooperate with the Morning Star Mercenaries, there's no doubt that our chances of obtaining a complete inheritance will increase greatly!

  In an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through Mide's mind, and the exploration plan finally took shape.

  So, first step, let's gain the trust of these twin sisters.

  As he thought so, the bright silver cold fire in Mide's eyes burned more fiercely.

  In the next moment, Middy, who was originally in a defensive posture, suddenly accelerated, like an elusive wisp of smoke, drawing an arc and charging straight at Odell, the 35-level roaming gunman who was spraying fire at him.

  Odelle could hardly believe her eyes.

  This young man with an unimpressive appearance and accompanied by a crow, who exactly is he?

  She had been chasing all the way, and when she found Middy and Aileen, she didn't rush out directly, but made preparations cautiously first.

  After all, the corpses all over the ground were still there, proving that Midori's swordsmanship was not ordinary.

  However, Odelle still had confidence in defeating the opponent, because her level was 35, much higher than the numerous corpses of around level 25 on the ground. Moreover, she was accompanied by the three most elite captains and two siege experts from the Morning Star Mercenary Corps!

  Odelle's only concern was that Aileen, whom she regarded as a younger sister, was too close to the enemy, and if they acted rashly, the other side might take Aileen hostage.

  She carefully endured, chose a position most suitable for the Ranger to play, waited until other team members arrived, and the sky finally darkened completely before loudly breaking through the opponent and launching a fierce attack in an instant.

  Like a half-elf and an elf, she has the innate ability of night vision, plus long-range firepower suppression. Odelle has an 80% chance of taking down the young man in front of her.

  But now she found herself terribly wrong.

  That is not a little cat that can be tied up with a rope, nor a sheep that can be stopped by a fence, but a terrifying tiger coming down the mountain!

  All the preparations I made were broken through in an instant by the boy's charge!

  Although his own scattering had reached its maximum power, with bullets shooting out every second like a storm, yet they were all blocked. The young man did not display any mysterious sword techniques, but simply held the black longsword in his hand, blocking and parrying again and again.

  But it was this ordinary-looking shield that blocked all of Odette's bullets, not a single one got through. It was as if he knew in advance where she wanted to shoot.

  What kind of predictive ability is this? How can it be achieved?

  And it's still on such a new moon night!

  Odette couldn't believe it and didn't want to believe that her famous shooting skills were so easily broken by a nameless person.

  But Mideer really predicted all of Odelle's attacks.

  His rich combat experience from his previous life, combined with the insight gained from his second awakening, allowed him to easily determine the pinpoint location of a level 35 roaming gunslinger's burst fire and scatter area.

  And more importantly, the extreme idea that had been circulating in Mide's mind was now rapidly operating under his consciousness.

  This extreme intent condensed to a needle's point, protruded from Miti's body, as if it were a probe and a weather vane, linking Miti's consciousness with the rhythmic sounds, breaths, consciousness, magic powers, and all information in the air.

  Under the dim night sky with a new moon hanging high, every move Odell made, every turn of the gun muzzle, and the projection point of hostility in her line of sight were all clear to Middy at this moment. As long as she knew these moves, it was crystal clear when the bullet would leave the barrel and when it would arrive in front of her.

  Under the perception that makes everything have nowhere to hide, this battlefield is as bright as day.

  All Miti had to do now was to hold his sword in front of him and wait for Odette's bullets to hit.

  The flames that shot out were pale and powerless in front of Mediana's black sword. It was as if an invisible but airtight iron wall stood between the two, blocking all bullets from various directions, regardless of their power or angle.

  In the blink of an eye, the distance between them had been pulled extremely close.

  At this moment, a strong magical fluctuation suddenly burst out from Odell's side. Dozens of magic bullets that had been enhanced in power and speed shot out from the darkness, like a blue fire rain, and pounced on Middy.

  But Medea was completely unmoved by this.

  In his previous life, as the core of the first-rate adventurer team "Hayabusa", how could he have focused his attention on Odell alone? In fact, in this blink of an eye, Mide's eyes scanned six directions, his ears listened to eight sides, and with his extreme intent, that made it impossible for anyone to hide, he had already judged the number of opponents, their positions, and what professions they were.

  In the face of this sudden hail of bullets from the side, Middy didn't dodge, but instead charged forward head-on, his body shaking once, accelerating again, his speed so fast that it left a trail of afterimages behind him!

  Demon Swordsman Skill: Demon Shadow Step

  In an instant, the small magic bullet rain that was several levels lower than Fiona's was easily dodged by Middy, and Odell's half-elf face was already within arm's reach.

  At close range, looking at the young man's eyes burning with cold fire, Odelle only felt a chill all over her body, and her breathing became unsmooth. Her hands, which were always stable, actually trembled at this critical moment!

  This is the oppressive feeling brought by the absolute gap, like a huge wave that covers the sky and blocks out the sun. Even if Middie doesn't draw his sword, it's enough to make people feel despair in their hearts.

  With great difficulty, Odette finally regained her composure, the sights of the twin guns in her hands barely locking onto Midy's outline.

  But it's too late now.

  It's already late.

  Only to see Middy handing out a sword in high-speed motion, the sword tip accurately landed on Odelle's right-hand gun, and then lightly stuck and wrapped, instantly making the right-hand gun collide with the left-hand gun, both guns simultaneously losing their accuracy. Middy immediately shook again, under the huge force, Odelle couldn't hold it at all, and the two guns flew into the air instantly.

  Before the two weapons even hit the ground, before they had even reached the apex of their parabolic trajectory, Middy's hand knife had already landed with unerring accuracy on Odette's slender neck.

  Not even a single command of "You guys escape quickly" could be shouted out loud, this Morning Star Mercenary Group's commander immediately lost consciousness.

  After an unknown period of time, Odelle finally opened her eyes.

  Her usual training and good physical condition allowed her to quickly come back from the daze.

  The wandering gunman looked around and soon realized that he was lying in a small temporary camp, where the bonfire was burning vigorously, bringing warmth to the cold spring night.

  And just nearby, Odette suddenly found that her proud and powerful companions were lying on the ground in a scattered manner, like a pile of carelessly discarded sacks!

  Fortunately, from their still heaving chests, everyone seemed to be safe and sound, with no one in danger of losing their life, at most just some minor injuries.

  Just as Odelle let out a slight sigh of relief, a voice rang out.

  "Aileen, pour a cup of water for your captain, she's awake." Midy ordered.

  The half-elf girl who was called out by name responded with a sound, then immediately ran over from the other end of the camp to pour water for her most revered captain. And in her eyes, there was embarrassment and shame.

  In the end, it all comes down to Eileen's own misjudgment that led to her current situation.

  But Meddy was very satisfied, because this way, he not only met the biggest winner of the previous life's Wang Ting's adventure from the start, but also clearly grasped the initiative.

  As for trust and friendship issues, Midei felt it was no longer a problem.

  You've all been knocked down without being killed, isn't this enough for you to trust me?

  You have been subjected to our full force attack, but in counterattack, you have shown mercy everywhere. Doesn't this deserve to win friendship?

  Even if we can't gain friendship, shouldn't we at least get an apology?

  As long as there's a connection, then getting together shouldn't be that hard afterwards.

  With this in mind, Middy gazed at Odell, who was still bewildered, with a dull and wooden expression.

  "We've fought enough, and made enough noise. Now, shall we talk, Captain Odell?" Middy said with a smile, handing over the twin guns still bearing sword scars to the captain of the Morning Star Mercenaries.

  "You can call me John."

  Medi added, "John", which is one of the most common names on the continent of Arad.
