Terrifying Intelligence

After Su Xiao swung his blade and killed several charging orcs, he began retreating into the Imperial soldiers behind him. The war had been going on for some time, and the battle lines across the entire battlefield had spread out. The rear was no longer packed shoulder to shoulder.

After two hours of grueling slaughter, Su Xiao had begun to tire. During those two hours, he had first killed enemies on the front line, then been sent flying by the dwarven earth cavalry, and afterward accidentally flung into the rear of the tribal army by a giant. In the end, he had fought his way back from the rear of the tribal army to the top of Kurotsuchi Fortress.

Just two hours of high-intensity combat had left him more exhausted than killing enemies for an entire day and night in the previous battle.

This wouldn't do. Su Xiao looked around. The Imperial army surpassed the tribal army in both morale and the number of enemies slain, and the battle was beginning to tilt toward the Empire.

After noticing this, Su Xiao prepared to retreat into the Imperial army and rest for a moment.

After dealing with several enemies that pounced at him, Su Xiao withdrew. Even if he couldn't sleep, having a drink of water and resting for a moment would do.

Just as Su Xiao was about to retreat into the Imperial soldiers, he sensed danger.

Su Xiao swept his gaze around but saw no particularly powerful enemy. Yet the feeling of danger not only failed to weaken—it grew stronger and stronger. It was as if something had locked onto him.

"Sniper?"

Su Xiao sensed carefully and soon ruled out the possibility that a Sniper had him in their sights. Since the enemy had not appeared, he continued retreating.
