322: The Long Night (3)
"The infiltration of chaos is far beyond what you and I can imagine."
Sitting at the shooting spot on the edge of the rooftop, Marin looked at the mansion in front of him, this is the south of Carter's city, and Dagu Sibien, a large merchant with a merchant fleet, is the owner here, his fleet has three three-masted merchant ships and two large four-masted galleons, he is the leading merchant in Fort Carter, and is currently the only neutral voter in the merchant guild.
(The president of the business guild has two votes, and there are eleven voters below, usually the most respected local businessmen, and these thirteen votes are the tools that work every time the business guild makes a decision)
If it weren't for psionic vision to confirm that the target in the mansion was indeed a Chaos Cultist, no one would have believed that this high-ranking businessman would actually be a sinking fish of the Chaos Sect.
In charge of the shooting was Lilim, the goat girl who had been training for months—the most talented of the girls, she was now able to compete with Cross at a distance of four hundred yards.
Her assistant is Rivo, who was dragged in by Lilim to help, and although she is not capable of close-quarters combat, she has an advantage in both observation and shooting aids.
"Dagu's carriage is back." The Jackdaw Druid, who was an aerial observer, flew over Marin's head and gave him such a message.
Marin turned his head to look into the distance of the street, where a locomotive was moving slowly.
"This master looks like he's returned from the Chamber of Commerce." Revo looked at the locomotive with a telescope that was somewhat large for her: "It looks like a locomotive flowing out of the Mage Tower, and the shell looks like a locomotive you made in conjunction with the Dwarves. ”
"After all, there is no intellectual patent for appearance, God said that although people are different from each other, in terms of appearance, they are almost the same." Lilim said as she pressed the bullet into the chamber of her rifle as she adjusted the headphones in her ears, the result of this combination of arcane and engineering being a joint effort between the Mage Tower and Marin, working in a psionic whispering way that never delivered.
We see the target, coming from east to west, Cross, do you hear me?
・I heard it, I saw the target, and I can see the situation in the mansion here, either they have an observation post nearby, or they can also notify the people in the mansion through arcane means, I see someone coming out.
Lilim heard Cross reply, and she glanced at the lighthouse in the distance, where Cross and Maya's team of shooters were on the top and bottom of the additional firing position.
Then she turned her attention to the scope: "I saw them push the door open, Cross, did you identify the target, the red-haired beard?" This sentence also reminds Marin.
See, his hair is braided into a lot of braids, and the guy who straightens his hair will definitely go crazy.
The complaint from Maya made Lilim smile, and she turned her head to look at Marin, "That guy is the specific target we investigated. ”
"Well, I can see the light of the soul, it's much more powerful than anything else." In Marin's field of vision, the tall, red-haired man had a bright light.
His status is in the most recent refugee record, he entered Fort Carter three months ago, and found a job carrying a bag at the docks for seven days, because of his giant blood, this job seemed to a strong man like him fell from the sky.
Because of his generosity, he has a lot of voice among the dock workers in the port.
At noon today, he also brought people over to help the workers.
But in the aftermath of the video, his people stir up the incident, attract attention, and then let the tempted workers grab the guns, which eventually leads to a tragedy.
They thought that they didn't know it, but they didn't expect that the people arranged by Marin would record almost all the situation in the square.
More complete than any image in the hands of any organization.
Therefore, this was the first to be discovered, and then Mr. Dagu, as well as the lower-level members in the new neighborhood in the north of the city, were just melons that were touched along the vine.
Leaving those low-level Chaos cultists in the hands of the veterans was a deliberate consideration for Marlin - Fort Carter could not be saved by the transcendents alone, and in the timelines he had seen, mortals were nothing more than numbers under the Chaos Butcher's Knife, and Marin had to arm them - in the era of muskets, even mortals could kill Chaos wizards.
So, who to take up arms is what Marin has to do, he must arm people who still have faith in the world, who have the faith to protect their families and friends, not those cowards, those cowards, who take up arms.
Those who can't save themselves don't deserve to live in this cruel world, Marin will only help those warriors who have the courage and faith to face the tide of death and the chaos of the soldiers.
And these cowards and cowards...... Just sad numbers.
The locomotive stopped in front of the manor, and the tall red-haired man saluted Dagu who got off the train, which made Marin confirm that this Dagu should be a high-ranking person in the Chaos Sect - the Chaos Sect, especially the Tongue Bird Sect, although it is the norm to go down, but the surface work is also very well done.
Watching them walk into the mansion, Marin turned his head and held Faye, who was holding an umbrella for him: "I'm leaving." ”
"Don't forget to come back." Faye approached Marin and kissed him lightly on the forehead: "According to legend, this is the treatment that only dragon-slaying warriors have. ”
"I remember that there are no flying dragons in this world, so take care of yourselves." With that, Marin turned around and jumped from the height of the five-story building, rolling in the air for a week and then landing safely.
Fio came out of the ground and brought Marin a new musket with a short barrel - a custom rifle based on the MK14EBR, and only one original gun was made, a 22-inch long barrel, an 18-inch universal barrel, and a 14-inch short barrel.
This time Marlin used a short 14-inch barrel, which was suitable for close combat in the room.
The cheek butt is made for the user's personal characteristics, and the Seiko-carved hollowed-out weight-reducing butt handguard module is loaded with a lot of goodies - the first is a normal lighting flashlight mounted on the left side of the handguard, which can be turned on to create a half-second bright light to blind the opposite side.
Then there is the Divine Flashlight hanging horizontally on the right, which, like its companion, is a half-second of bright light, used to target ghosts and some chaos that can ignore the blindness effect of normal light.
Underneath the module is an integrated grip with a visual light spot indicator, a small engineering artifact with a small arcane light crystal at its core, which uses reflective chips to aggregate its light reflections and shoot them forward.
Because it is cold light, it cannot be seen with the naked eye, but it can be confirmed by the blue light wafer goggles that Marin came down from his forehead.
THE SPECIALLY USED 10MM LONG CARTRIDGE IS A SEMI-ENCAPSULATED EXPOSED LEAD BULLET, WHICH HAS A STRONG STOPPING EFFECT, AND THE MUZZLE OF THIS GUN IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE, AND THE MUZZLE MADE OF ADAMANTITE GOLD HAS A MAGIC CIRCLE THAT CAN BE RECHARGED REPEATEDLY, AND ONCE CHARGED, THE MUZZLE CIRCLE CAN COMPLETELY SILENCE THE SOUND OF THE GUN - THE ENERGY CAN SUPPORT FIFTY ROUNDS.
The cost was 4,000 dwarven gold coins, and in the words of the dwarven rune masters, the small, stiff paper of the human butt wiping paper could not measure the value of the circle.
Marin felt the same way.
As he stepped forward, Marin pulled the goggles off his forehead, then pulled the hood up, and covered his face with a respiratory dialysis mask made of the young leaves of the World Tree.
Fio turned into a puppy and walked in front of Marin.
Lorraine drilled out of Marin's sleeve, it called softly, and in the next second, the ground in front of Marin began to become transparent, and then in front of him, all the targets walking on the ground were marked.
There were insects, rats, and humanoids patrolling the garden of the mansion in front of them.
Confirm the left garden target.
Marin glanced ahead and asked in the channel.
There are no goals.
Lilim spoke first, followed by Cross, and neither of them could find their target.
I made a mark for you.
Marlin shares his vision with Lilim and Cross.
The target is invisible, now I can observe the distortion of the air, it is moving.
Lilim, you're better at shooting at the window, I'll deal with the other one here, and Mr. Marin will enter through the garden over there.
No problem, I'm already in place.
As he approached the street, Merlot appeared on Marin's wrist and blessed Marin with an invisibility spell, and Marlin walked through the street with a reminder from Rivo's headset.
I can see the distortion as you move, but it's tiny and works well.
I'm already outside the walls.
Shooting.
Shooting.
Cross's voices rang out at the same time as Lilim's.
Marin heard the sound of something falling from behind the wall, he didn't climb the wall, Manna made a hole in the wall for him, Marin walked in, and the hole disappeared.
Then Marin saw a ...... who had fallen to the ground Man, the bullet didn't kill him in the first place when it pierced its chest, so he had a certain distortion, but in this way, the silver bomb that remained in his body worked, so he died.
Walking past the kiosk, Marin saw another corpse, bullets flying from the lighthouse, burrowing into its head after flying nearly five hundred yards.
Judging from the course of action, the deceased was facing the direction of Cross, but he could still hit the target's head from a distance of five hundred yards, and his marksmanship was good.
There is a patrol coming from behind the fence wall on your left side, Mr. Marin.
Marin grabbed the corpse with his left hand and picked him up, walking to the corner while pointing with his right hand in the direction of the fence wall.
This is Cross, I can't observe there.
Here is Lilim, I saw, three patrollers, and a dog.
Marin's mind turned, and Fio and Lorraine immediately stepped forward to the other side of the fence.
Then the dog of the patrol came out.
The presence of the twig of the World Tree interfered with its thinking, and it did not roar at Marlin in the first place.
Then the patrol that was chatting came out.
The last member of the patrol noticed Marin immediately, and then he fell backwards and fell to the ground.
Marin pulls the trigger, and the patrolman, who is helping his teammates light cigarettes, is carried away by bullets and ends up falling in the flower bed.
The patrolman with the cigarette saw a wooden hound burst out of the shadows and bite his hound, and before he could recover from his surprise and surprise, a branch wrapped it around its neck and hung him from the vine trellis.
Marin threw the body into the flower bed.
No one will pass by in half an hour, Patrol 2 has just entered the rest hut at the back of the mansion, and they need to rest.
Start entering, here is Marin.
Marin raised his gun, he stood in front of the wall, Lorraine's scan confirmed that there was no one behind the wall, and Manna began to open the wall.
Everybody, uninvited guest appeared.
