Chapter 269: Catching the "Tongue"

Sunday...... Well, there is no Sunday in this world, it is all based on ten days and ten days, and those who dare to implement a seven-day week here are all dead...... The morning is white.

At this time, the time has come to the early spring of 1921 in the divine calendar, and it has been almost a year since the war between the Elven Court and the Kingdom of Osme began.

After the Crown Prince Jeni of the Kingdom of Osmum was seriously injured at the end of last year, the Fish-Man side shrank back and defended for a while.

During this time, the Fish-Man side has been consolidating the land it occupies, and military camps to defend various points and cantonment points set up in suitable places for cultivation have been built one after another.

Taking advantage of the early morning fog, Charles alone touched the foot of a hill and lurked among a thorn bush.

When the sun rose and the fog gradually cleared, a huge black shadow appeared on the top of the hill.

If Charles is not mistaken, this black shadow is a ghost turret that he used to see in movies in his previous life.

Since the beginning of this year, this kind of watchtower with a height of more than 10 meters and can station 50 fishmen as the main body, two to three trenches have been dug around it, and the defensive strongholds with fences between the trenches have sprung up in the control area of the fishmen like mushrooms after a rain.

The Fishmen mobilized a large amount of manpower and gathered enough materials by quarrying nearby and transporting rocks in the sea, and built these defensive strongholds at the frontline defense nodes and commanding heights.

Although the fish-men did not have guns, a batch of strong bows and crossbows suddenly appeared in the hands of the fishmen in the stronghold, which greatly improved the fish-men's long-range attack methods and attack power.

Not long ago, during an attack on the stronghold organized by the elves in other places, the attacking elves were suddenly attacked by several rain-like crossbow arrows, causing a lot of casualties.

Elizabeth, who received the report, ordered a number of "tongues" to be captured in various places to find out the reason for the change in the fish-man weapons.

So Charles, who has been denied him to the front line by Munch and Churchill under various pretexts for a period of time, got a "tongue" task this time.

No way, who let him equip it.

As the fog slowly cleared, visibility around him was still limited, when the sound of footsteps reached Charles's ears.

Every morning at this stronghold, no matter what the weather, a fish-man officer leads a ten-man team to patrol the perimeter.

Charles' goal today is to get the fish-man officer back.

This fish-man officer was very vigilant, and when Churchill led people to ambush him before, he stopped ten or ten meters before the ambush circle, and then turned and left.

So this time Charles ventured under the fish-man's nose and used the cover of the mist to extract his teeth.

The fish-man patrol approached, and they walked through the fog towards the place where Charles was ambushed.

When they approached, Charles was stunned for a moment, because the equipment of this group of fishmen was different from before.

Because the fish-people live in the sea all year round, the environment in which their weapons are used has always been in the water with high resistance, and in the water, because the resistance effect is far less powerful than the stabbing attack, the fishmen use harpoons that are conducive to stabbing attacks.

And today, for the second time, Charles saw the sword on the body of the fish-man.

And this time, the sword on the mermaid man is not a unique product like the copycat Infinity Blade on Jenny who doesn't know how many years old, but a standard equipment with the same appearance and size.

Today, four of the eleven fishmen in this team are sword and shield soldiers, their shields are still made of turtle shells, and the long swords they wear at their waists are more than a meter long.

The officer who was going to be arrested today didn't change his equipment, and he was still the same.

The fish-man patrol passed a few meters in front of Charles, and the rifle in Charles' hand was already aimed at the front of the fish-man officer's forward path, ready to pull the trigger when the target reached the position of the three-point line.

After the elves started to study firearms last year, they tossed out a few air guns not long ago.

Charles is no stranger to airsoft guns, and in his previous life, he even used a buckshot airsoft to shoot rats at night at the direction of his relatives.

However, the airsoft gun was handed over in the mid-90s during the gun ban operation, and later someone could only play with BB balls, and a group of friends put on their parents' motorcycle helmets with masks, and then split into two teams to fight, and then came back and mixed doubles.

The target was in place, and Charles pulled the trigger.

With the trigger, a severed mana channel was connected, and the magic in the crystal flowed unimpeded into the jet cylinder in the butt.

The wind magic array inside the cylinder immediately activated, and the wind element poured out of the magic array as if it exploded, and then surged out along the exit of the cylinder's contraction.

The wind elemental passed through a small section of slightly curved metal tubing into the chamber of the gun, and then lunged forward with a bullet.

In Charles's hometown, the Girandoni air gun had been used in the late 18th century, but it was quickly eliminated by the powder gun due to various shortcomings.

However, since the air gun has been equipped, it shows that it still has considerable power.

A dart-shaped warhead flew effortlessly over those few meters, then pierced through the armor junction at the Fish-Man officer's waist and finally burrowed into his muscles.

The dart warhead was coated with a powerful anesthetic, and the fish-man officer who was shot suddenly felt dizzy and weak, and by the time Charles put away his gun and took out his broadsword and rushed forward, the officer had collapsed to the ground.

Charles also wanted to kill the remaining fish-men with a "da-da-da", but his airsoft gun was still a breech-loading gun, and it couldn't be fired continuously, otherwise it wouldn't be used as a toy in his hands.

The Patrol's fish-men were first surprised that their commander had suddenly collapsed, then reacted a beat slower under the influence of the mentally handicapped aura, and then the "soul shock" released by Charles made them feel like they had been hit by a hammer.

By this time, Charles's broadsword had arrived, and he rushed into the midst of the fishmen who had lost their minds for a while, and before they could react, he first cut down the two sword and shield soldiers, and then crouched down, and a wind blade cut off the feet of the other sword and shield soldier who was raising his shield for defense.

Before he could replenish his sword, a "cold ice storm" suddenly struck him.

Charles was startled, and then lunged into the clearing to the side.

The spell didn't hit him, it helped him mend it.

He didn't expect that there would be a powerful magician in this patrol team, so the triple assault rifle appeared in his hand again, and then blasted over.

The mage's newly erected ice shield was shattered by two dart bullets in the next moment, and then a third dart bullet was concentrated in the mage's chest.

Now the movement is too loud, and the enemy in the stronghold on the mountain will come down to reinforce at any time after discovering it.

Charles saw that the situation was urgent, so he stepped aside to widen the distance, and used the blue flame magic crystal cannon to "da-da-da" a few of the remaining fish-men, and the rest were scared away when they saw this.

Seeing that there were no more fish-men standing around, a magically powered tricycle appeared beside Charles. In order to put this thing in the storage ring, he temporarily emptied all the contents of a ring.

After maxing out the power buff on his body, he tied up the still unconscious fish-man officer and threw it on the tricycle.

At this time, he thought about it, and then brought the fish-man's standard long sword and other weapons.

When the fish-men who came down from the mountain to support came to the scene of the crime, there was nothing to gain except for the sound of a tricycle going away and a trick mine.

That afternoon, Munch informed Charles that his mission had failed.

Because the officer of the fish-man and a recruit swapped armor and positions, Charles captured a recruit who didn't know anything.

The officer was the good magician, and Charles had buried a treacherous mine under him.

However, this operation was not a complete failure, because Charles brought back a few fish-man swords, which can be regarded as a little gain.

For this reason, Charles was so depressed that he ate two more bowls for dinner.
