Chapter 158: Luring the Enemy (1) Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
One of the team members immediately couldn't help but ask, "Instructor, you just said that you want us to discover the magician, do you want us to deal with the magician?" β
"Yes, magicians are invincible, even if we find a magician, there is no way, unless we can become a high-level martial artist." Several other team members also said.
Hathaway smiled and said, "Nothing is invincible except time. The power of magic is mysterious, but not divine. With the right operation, the warrior can also kill the mage...... Snipers, for example. β
"Instructor, what is a sniper?" Jafa. Troon asked.
"Jafa is a good question, what is a sniper?"
Hathaway explained as if telling a story: "What is a sniper? To put it simply, a sniper is a shooter who lies in ambush in a hidden place and waits for an opportunity to attack the enemy. The term was actually first used in hunting activities. Some nobles hunted a small bird called the sand pheasant in the Gaya Mountains, which was loved by the nobles for its delicious meat. β
Speaking of this, Hathaway looked at the team members, and saw that these young team members were listening with relish, and couldn't help but smile in her heart, and continued: "Because this bird is very agile and difficult to hit, people who are good at hitting this kind of bird are called 'snipers'. β
Hathaway continued, "The main task of a sniper is to eliminate important people or valuable targets, such as enemy mages, commanders, or enemy sentinels or outposts in the event of a night attack. β
"Instructor, the mage has a defensive magic amulet. High-level martial artists also have fighting spirit, what kind of weapons can snipers use to hurt them? "Jayfar. Troon asked.
Everyone looked at Hathaway and listened to her answer.
"Defensive magic and fighting energy can be attacked with special ranged demon-breaking weapons. But what you have to do now is the basic exercises......"
Hathaway gradually instilled the concept of special operations in the minds of these teenagers...... Compared with adults, they are more receptive to new methods and techniques of warfare, like a blank sheet of paper that has not been rendered in any way, on which they can draw the patterns they want to draw.
The team members were fascinated by the listen, even Tommy next to him. Cooper listened attentively.
"Instructor, how come I've never heard my father talk about snipers?" One of the team members was still a little confused.
Hathaway sighed and said, "That's not enough attention to Cheng DΓΉ." At present, some units are training specialized sharpshooters, who are actually the prototype of snipers. Why is it a prototype? Because the damage of a bow and arrow to a person is very limited. Although the attack power of the magic archer is great. But the requirements for the user are high, we have a special weapon for snipers, and whoever of you is qualified to become a sniper will get a special weapon of this kind at that time. β
"Instructor. Is that weapon powerful? One of the team members asked.
"Very powerful. Attack with that weapon. Before the enemy notices, the attack has arrived, and the chance of being able to detect it in advance is very low. Hathaway affirmed.
"What is the attack range of the weapon?" Jafa. Troon asked.
"It's absolutely fine within eight hundred meters."
Hathaway said with great certainty.
In fact. She is quite conservative in this number, although the magic civilization is not as popular as the technological civilization, but in some ways, it is more beautiful than the results of the technological civilization...... After a period of exploration, an improved version of the Magic Rifle has been refined, that is, the Magic Rifle Type II.
The design concept of the Type II was developed in the direction of a sniper rifle from the beginning, and Hathaway couldn't design an optical sight or something, but she designed an alchemy formation that specialized in processing the lenses of the scope...... Not only that, but on the lenses, she also laid an eagle eye technique, which can not only see farther, but also easier to find; The barrel has been lengthened and the improved inscription allows the bullet to shoot farther and penetrate more powerfully; A gun carriage was added for easy fixing of the gun.
The improved guns were even more powerful, and even the faces of those elven shooters were a little ugly...... The appearance of this firearm is undoubtedly a challenge to the elves who are good at shooting, and it will use this race to lose most of its advantages. Hathaway, however, assured that the firearms were to be used only for the Cordillera troops, and that there were restrictions on their size.
Although there is an alchemy circle, it is still very troublesome to refine, Hathaway has only processed a total of eighteen Magic Rifle Type II, but the Magic Rifle Type I has been processed a lot, this time bringing some, and she is also designing a short gun, and named it Magic Rifle Type III.
As soon as she was ready, Hathaway began to take the special combat team to formally train according to the training plan formulated in the past few days, and the training items were varied, including stealth, camouflage infiltration, map identification, ranging, cultural learning, shooting, hand-to-hand combat, shooting, climbing, ...... In shooting, arrows and crossbows are also indispensable exercises.

"Quick! Let's have a good time, we have work to do! β
On a cliff about a hundred miles from the town of Poval, more than eighty stout men in thick leather armor gathered together, flanked by a large herd of clawed horses.
The clawed horse is a specialty of the Cordillera Plateau, identical in appearance to a horse, but more like a donkey in size, and its limbs are not hooves, but claws...... With very strong and powerful claws, they are very fast in the mountains, and they are not vegetarians, so they are not full of meat at every meal.
The owners of these clawed horses are a very professional group of bandits, completely different from the thieves who make cameo appearances. At this moment, these creatures were tearing at the strips of meat in the trough, and in order to give them enough bodies to fight, a large number of livestock were slaughtered in the mountain bandits' lair on this day.
The clawed horse eats a lot of food, eating quite a lot of fresh meat a day, and if you need to travel long distances, you need to eat more, but fortunately this mountainous area is rich in products, otherwise you can't feed a lot of clawed horses.
Even so, this number of clawed horses has reached the limit of what this group of thieves can bear, and in order to control the number, they can only choose some of the stronger ones to stay, and the rest are eliminated when they are young beasts.
In order to save supplies, these clawed horses are rarely used.
Hemingway. Peck, one of the leaders of this gang of thieves, was captured by the barbarians when he was young, and then somehow escaped, and learned the art of taming the clawed horse, with this skill, he became the backbone of this gang of thieves, and was deeply trusted by the boss. At this time, while observing the clawed horse eating, he urged his companions to pack up all kinds of equipment:
"Prepare the fiery oil and the bow and arrow, we must cause even more chaos this time." Hemingway. Peck had some absent-minded commands.
"It's just a matter of burning down some houses, do we need to cater to those noble lords? The new lord is just a little girl, and the hostages we have tied up aren't enough for her to be anxious? One of the thieves grumbled a little depressedly.
"You have to ask the leader, and he has the final say." Hemingway. Peck raised her eyebrows helplessly.
"The boss is too careful, what can the new lord do, what can those noble lords do to us after so many years?" The thief was unimpressed.
This sentence caused a chorus of approval, even Hemingway. Peck had a disapproving look on his face.
In recent times, several high-ranking nobles have been in contact with the cottage, and they have financed a lot of supplies, and the only request is to make the Cordillera Plateau chaotic...... And that's what thieves do best, so the boss agreed without hesitation.
Two days ago, they went out to the mountains to rob a group of children from wealthy families, and were waiting for their families to take money to ransom them. But someone sent a message to the boss, hoping that they would increase their action, so this operation took place.
"I heard that the target of this operation is an orphanage, is there any need for this?" Another thief asked.
"Of course it's necessary. That orphanage has a very wealthy background, and the orphans are just the right fit to complement our team. "Hemingway. Peck said.
Although he is not in favor of frequent dispatches, he is still in favor of replenishing the strength of the bandits, especially those orphans, who are more loyal to the bandits when they grow up because they are not dragged down by their families.
"Shhh
One of the clawed horses swallowed the strip of meat, puffed up its chest, raised its front paws upright, raised its head and let out a loud roar, and all the clawed horses stood upright one after the other, and let out such a long whistling sound!
Hemingway. Peck took the opportunity to jump on the back of a clawed horse and raised his spear high: "For justice!" β
Fair!
It is the slogan of this group of thieves, who believe that there is no justice in this world, and that wealth is controlled by those nobles, magicians, high-ranking warriors, etc., and their existence is for justice...... At least for their own justice.
"For justice!"
All the thieves roared, rolled over and stepped on the clawed horses, and followed Hemingway. Behind Peck, rushed in the direction of the town of Poval......
Poval Town,
Hathaway has been here for nearly half a month, just to train those special operators. However, just as she was about to leave, there was a big case nearby, some children of nobles and merchants were kidnapped by thieves, and the people she sent out later came with the news that the thieves seemed to be about to attack the villa, and they had actually hit the orphans on the heads. Therefore, she postponed the date of her return, preparing to solve the problem of the gang of thieves.
In any case, she is the lord of this territory, and the existence of the thieves is a real provocation for her as a lord, and it must be resolved both publicly and privately.
A letter eagle fell into the courtyard from the sky, and in a short time a definite message was delivered to Hathaway. (To be continued......)
