Volume 1 Chapter 84 Reinforcements still have thirty seconds left to reach the battlefield

I retracted back into cover after firing the shot, and less than two seconds after I had dodged it, a series of sparks accompanied by a crisp "Ding! Bite! "Sound, or dull "poof! Burst! The sound rang out.

Apparently, the enemy was already annoyed by the previous successive losses and returned fire with assault rifles full of firepower, in which "ding! Bite! The sound was from a bullet hitting the ground, and "Poof! Burst! The sound was made when a bullet pierced the shell of the Maffei S320 limousine.

The quality of the Maffei S320 limousine is unquestionable, and an assault rifle may be able to penetrate its casing, but it is impossible to penetrate it completely, otherwise I would not have chosen to use it as cover.

"Well, if the enemy doesn't have support, there will be four left."

Enduring the noise of ping-pong rattling, I silently counted the remaining number of enemies, thanks to the excellent performance of me and Reed before, the three guys who came up were all neatly knocked to the ground by us, and according to the impression I had observed before, there should have only four enemies left.

The enemy's teasing just now was obviously not really teasing, but just trying to attract our attention with exaggerated movements, so that friendly troops could calmly jump down the hill and launch a deadly surprise attack on us (if Artoria was not there, it would be deadly), but the result was self-evident.

Based on this, I guess that the enemy should only have one assault rifle, because it cannot completely suppress us, so the enemy will risk his life to use the strategy of attacking the east and west. Of course, in the end, it still didn't work, and the other side obviously didn't expect our gunners to react so quickly, so accurately, and so powerfully.

But then again, where are these enemies coming from? He was willing to give his life to annihilate us here. What's even more frightening is that the enemy's determination is undoubtedly extremely firm, and even the ability to act is unquestionable, otherwise the tease would not have been so death--fortunately, the enemy has no grenades, otherwise it is estimated that the grenade that attracts our attention will be thrown into the air, and then supplemented by the suppression of the assault rifle, it will be an easy thing to cross the slope.

Of course, there are no ifs, and the truth is this: the enemy is desperate to continue to vent his anger with the guns in his hands.

"Who the hell is the enemy?"

As I pondered the origin of the other party, the fierce gunfire gradually stopped, and it seemed that the other party had already exhausted all the bullets in the magazine, and now it is estimated that he is changing the magazine. Of course, this could also be a trap for the enemy to tempt us to take a look, so instead of recklessly sticking out my head to observe the situation, I turned my head to look at Lux and the others who were hiding behind the vehicle.

While Reed and I were observing the enemy and fighting back, Artoria had already complied with my instructions and once again reached out against the sleek chassis of the Maffei S320 limousine. She looked as if she was powerless, her face relaxed, and her expression was as calm as a calm lake, but I knew that if the Maffei S320 limousine encountered an impact, Artoria would be able to resist it at the first time.

"Lux, how long has it been since we were attacked?"

Lux snuggled up to Artoria's side obediently, her expression was as calm as Artoria, even if there would be a sudden gunshot or two around her from time to time, but she was completely unmoved, her demeanor was much calmer and more reliable than Alice, who was squatting beside her, holding her head and trembling.

After hearing my inquiry, Lux's cute pretty face showed a thoughtful expression, and after a while, she replied: "According to people's counts, it has been eighteen minutes since the time of the attack, and eight minutes have passed since the time when the signal was lost, and it has been eight minutes since the time when the family was alarmed. Although the colonial satellite is not small, it is not big either, not to mention that we are already on the way to the Klein Mansion? So add two by two, eight minutes is enough time for the family to send a reconnaissance helicopter, with the path and speed at which the reconnaissance helicopter can sail in a straight line, the rescue should be coming soon. ”

As soon as Lux's words fell, I noticed that the dull hair on Artoria's head beside her suddenly stopped, and it pointed in the direction of two o'clock, and then Artoria's gentle voice followed, "There's a helicopter there, presumably your reinforcements." With that, Artoria held out her hand.

Our group was very concerned about the arrival of reinforcements, and when we heard Artoria say this, and when we saw Artoria do this, we all looked up at where Artoria was pointing.

I saw a small black dot in the vast clear, cloudless sky. It's small, like a grain of rice, and if it weren't for Artoria pointing at it and telling us that it's a reconnaissance helicopter sent by the family, we'd probably have ignored it. However, under Artoria's reminder, we who stared intently at it could see that it was indeed gradually getting bigger - it was originally only the size of a grain of rice, but after ten seconds or so, it had already swelled into a black dot as thick as a thumb.

"Sister Artoria's eyesight is so good, she can see so clearly from such a distance......"

Although Lux already knew in her lover's memory that Artoria's abilities completely surpassed the limits of mortals, after seeing it in real life, Lux couldn't help but sigh. Artoria only smiled softly at Lux's admiration, and it seemed that she glanced at her and did not say anything.

"Actually, I'd rather take her apart and study it......"

Compared with Lux's sigh and not so obvious envy, Kong Wanying's thoughts are much more direct, and she directly expresses her inner thoughts without the slightest disguise, although this kind of thinking is completely offending people - such as me, such as Artoria and other beings with abilities that are different from ordinary people.

But I think Artoria is not only excellent for eyesight, but also for hearing, right? I don't believe that Artoria was able to predict where the helicopter would be, so it's more likely that she 'heard' the helicopter as it flew and then 'saw' it and pointed us in the direction of the helicopter.

By the way, there is actually another possibility, which is the township of Artoria: the golden silly hair, which sensed the arrival of the reconnaissance helicopter one step ahead of its ears and eyes. But the possibility is unbelievable, so ...... Don't mention it.

Anyway, since reinforcements are coming, we only need to hold out a little longer, and we will be able to launch a counteroffensive.

With that in mind, I turned my head to Reed, who was facing away from us, and shouted, "Reed, steady!" After receiving his affirmative answer, I poked my head out again and observed the situation on the other side.

Perhaps it was our previous resistance that caused the enemy to be a little broken, so until now the enemy has not tried to break through again, but has just hid in the woods like a watch, confronting us.

In my opinion, the reason why the enemy is so quiet is probably waiting for reinforcements, right? Otherwise, there would be no such inaction. Not long after I had guessed, the sudden appearance of a figure from the woods confirmed my suspicion, but unexpectedly, there were many enemies from the source.

The enemy, who had only four men left, almost tripled in number after the arrival of a steady stream of reinforcements, from four to twelve, and perhaps even more, because there must have been traces of the enemy in places I could not observe.

"It seems that the enemy has noticed that there is no us in the Maffei S300 limousine that they blew up, otherwise it is impossible to explain why the enemy would rush here......"

I watched the growing flow of people on the hillside in the distance as I silently counted the number of enemies.

The number of enemies gradually increased from twelve, to fourteen, sixteen, eighteen, and twenty, until I could no longer count because of the obstruction of my vision, and the number of enemies had soared to twenty-three.

After I couldn't count the number of enemies, I didn't observe, but simply shrank back, hid behind the bunker again, and thought indifferently: "The number of enemies should not exceed thirty, hmph, but no matter how many people there are, they will not be the opponent of helicopter gunships, even if it is just a reconnaissance helicopter equipped with a machine gun, it can greatly suppress the enemy's firepower - of course, provided that the enemy does not carry a bazooka." ”

Although the reconnaissance helicopter is only used for reconnaissance most of the time, it is not a problem to occasionally bully the infantry who do not carry heavy weapons. As far as my previous observations are concerned, the enemy does not carry heavy weapons such as individual rocket launchers, otherwise they would have been used against us a long time ago, with the bulletproof ability of the Maffei S320 limousine, two or three rockets are enough to completely dismember it, where is the need to blow it up with high-explosive grenades.

"How long will it take for the reconnaissance helicopter to arrive?"

I think so, but for the safety of our group, let's check how long it will take for our reinforcements to arrive. So I looked up at Artoria, who was the only one in the room who could answer my question.

Artoria obviously knew that I was asking her, so after hearing my inquiry, she looked up at the reconnaissance helicopter that had gradually appeared in the distance, and after a little calculation, she replied, "It will probably be more than thirty seconds." ”

"Well, that's good...... This reminds me of a saying: reinforcements still have thirty seconds to reach the battlefield......"

Hearing my humorous joke, Lux couldn't help but laugh "poof", and then saw her smile and corrected: "It should be 'the enemy has thirty seconds to arrive on the battlefield and crush their ......'." ”

"Well, now that the enemy is almost finished, it's actually a good idea to say, 'The enemy has thirty seconds to reach ......the battlefield,' which is actually true." I shook my head with a dumb smile, I didn't expect Lux to be more real, but the real Lux still looks cute.

"I don't know if the enemy attacked first, or if our reconnaissance helicopters arrived first...... Let's hope it's the latter. ”

Thinking so, I quietly poked my head out......
