Chapter 57: Snipers or Foes
An accurate shot from a distance directly kicked off tonight.
In the midst of Tatam's exclamations, Maud looked as usual with her bullets.
Ten seconds of reloading time was enough for the members of the Sharp Bull Pirates to respond, and each of them hid in what they thought was a suitable bunker based on their judgment.
This is also a drawback that cannot be avoided at present.
In the case of modern firearms, in these ten seconds, Maud is confident that he can take down a few more before the target hides in cover.
"Look around."
Maud reminded him, and quickly focused on his next prey.
One of the disadvantages of flintlock pistols is that gunfire and gunsmoke are more pronounced.
After the first shot is fired, the sound of the gunfire will not only alarm the people around you, but also reveal the approximate direction of the location.
But that's only the general direction.
Therefore, the cover that the members of the Sharp Bull Pirates were looking for in a hurry was not perfect, and their bodies were more or less exposed to the line of gun.
With Tatam and the wolf rat present, Maud doesn't have to worry about the surrounding movement for the time being, and focuses on finding the next target.
Soon, Maude set his sights on a half-exposed target, and after aiming, he didn't pull the trigger in a hurry.
The mind was immersed in it, and as I held my breath, the vague feeling gradually became clear.
It was only at this point that Maud pulled the trigger.
Another gunshot rang out.
On the deck at a distance, the pirate who had accidentally exposed half of his body was knocked to the ground and screamed.
The buckshot hit him in the chest, and although it didn't hit the vital point, if it wasn't treated in time, it would have been dead step by step.
And in this case, the surrounding pirates did not dare to rashly lean out to help.
Wells didn't even look at his companion who had fallen to the ground, his attention was always on the direction where the bullet was flying.
Seeing gunfire in the distance, Wells quickly set up his rifled spear and aimed at Maude's location within a breath.
The sea breeze hit his face, causing his eyes to twitch slightly.
"Damn, it's a headwind......"
But he didn't hesitate, pulled the trigger and fired a shot, then quickly retracted into cover.
Warehouse on top.
Poofβ
The buckshot that flew from the direction of the dock struck the eaves on the other side of the top of the warehouse, several meters away from Maudechamp.
When the wolf rat and Tatam heard the movement, they immediately looked at the drop point.
The other side began to fight back......
can find out the position so quickly, obviously a sniper with a high level, as expected, it should be Wells, the cadre of the Sharp Bull Pirates.
It's a pity......
They then looked at Maud, only to see that Maud was almost ready to reload.
They had the heart to warn, but they were worried that it would affect Maude's state, so they kept silent.
Maud reloaded her third round, still calmly setting up her gun.
Aim, shoot!
Bangββ!
Another pirate fell on the deck of the Sharp Bull Pirate Ship, still not critical, but deadly.
After being hit by three companions in a row, the members of the surrounding Sharp Bull Pirates were terrified, and they all couldn't help but look at the positions of Wells and several other gunmen.
This kind of duel between gunners, as melee personnel, they can't help at all, and can only hope that their own snipers can solve each other as soon as possible.
Otherwise, they will only become live targets.
Feeling the pressure from the gaze of his companions, Wells and several other gunmen secretly gritted their teeth, holding rifled spears and firing a few shots at Maude's location one after another.
However, in headwind conditions, even if the rifled gun has a better range and accuracy than Maude's smoothbore gun, it is difficult to pose an effective threat to Maude.
In the next few rounds.
Four more members of the Sharp Bull Pirates fell.
Gradually, they realized that several of their snipers had been suppressed, and based on the frequency of gunfire, they could tell that there was only one enemy sniper.
This is to fight more and less, but it is suppressed.
Deeply aware of the horror of enemy snipers, he is also disappointed in his own snipers.
The lean Gableton half-crouched behind the mast, pressed the handle of the knife with one hand, and calmly looked at Wells' position.
From his position, one could even see Wells' ugly and gloomy side face.
Gableton is the captain of the melee team, but he doesn't want his team to become the enemy's guns without doing anything, and he doesn't care about Wells' face right away.
"Wells, since you can't beat the other party, cover us and hide in safer cover."
"Okay."
Wells' face changed, and he gritted his teeth in response.
He temporarily took over command of the scene, ordering several of his fellow gunmen to take the lead to suppress Maude, while directing the melee members to take refuge in the safety of what he judged by experience.
After doing this command, the price came as a gunslinger in the team with a single shot in the head.
Of the ten shots, two of them were killed and six were seriously wounded.
The 80 per cent hit rate was chilling for Wells.
This is still the case where the other party is the only one.
Even as the chief sniper of the regiment, he had this reaction, let alone the others.
It's a stark contrast between a sniper or foe!
Gableton was very calm, looked in the direction of the captain's room, and shouted, "Captain, do you want to stay where you are, or should I take a few people to kill that sniper?" β
A moment later, Gatzt's voice came from inside the door.
"Go ahead."
It's just two bytes, but it contains the anger that is about to erupt.
Luckily, Gatzt didn't know the identity of the enemy sniper, otherwise he might have burst into a wound in anger.
After getting the captain's approval, Gableton gestured to several team members, immediately looked at Wells, and said in a deep voice, "Cover us." β
"Okay."
Wells took a deep breath and struggled to suppress the shame.
Under the cover of him and several gunmen, Gableton, with five team members, quickly disembarked and pressed towards Maude's position.
Warehouse on top.
Maud reloads her ammunition as she looks at the figures that have left the Sharp Bull Pirate Ship.
A meter in front of him, there was a clear bullet hole.
It was a few rounds of gun-to-gun down, the nearest bullet to him.
"Wolf rat, almost."
Maud reminded.
The wolf rat nodded, "Stay safe." β
With that, he jumped out of the warehouse with Tatam and greeted the team led by Gabuton.
After the wolf rat and Tatam left, Maud also reloaded his ammo.
Set up your guns again and aim them at the deck of the Sharp Bull Pirates.
In sight, it was the bunker where Wells was.
"Found you, my dear prey."
Maud smiled slightly, as if she didn't hear the sound of bullets bursting through the air.
The firing frequency has been significantly increased by a notch.
But Maud knew that it was the way Wells and others sacrificed their heads in order to suppress them.
The purpose is also obvious, to create opportunities for the Gabton team.
Maude, who has a wealth of experience in gunfights, easily came to an accurate judgment.
"But I also have a good thug."
Maud whispered to herself, if Tatam counted, it would be two.
A random shot was fired at the deck of the Sharp Bull Pirate Ship, and Maud left the area, reloading his ammo and heading to the next sniper spot.
From now on, he will only target Wells.
Meanwhile.
The shootout attracted many onlookers.
Located in the shadows around the Sharp Bull Pirate Ship.
Sentinels from several pirates were watching the scene closely.
"Finally someone has done it, and it's ......"
"Which pirate sniper is it, terrifyingly strong!"
Like sharks that smell blood, the sentinels bared their fangs.
Once the opportunity is clear, the Sharp Cow Pirates, which were previously unshakable, will also become a piece of delicious meat.
