Scold! ~Scold! ~ Two cross-cut silver lights flashed in the dark, and at the moment of staggering, Pete subconsciously threw away the sniper rifle in his hand, leaned back sharply, and quickly pulled out his knife to block the two silver lights that cut to his throat.

At the moment of the blade collision, the sparks of the big tent splashed in front of Pete, and the huge impact force almost made Pete unable to hold the tactical knife in his hand, and the back of the knife brought back slammed into the collarbone.

"Auston, help me! ~" Seeing the black shadow that had staggered by scurry again after a little dexterity, Pete screamed in horror as he flew back.

However, the dark shadow caught up with him in just a few steps. After Pete barely blocked the two knives left and right, he was stepped on the tip of his retreating left foot by the opponent, and the suddenly suppressed action suddenly made Pete's pace chaotic, and he could only watch desperately as the short knife stabbed his heart.

Sizzle! ~ Suddenly, a figure that seemed to tear through the air burst out of the air, and the three-edged thorn that was thrown casually turned into a bolt of lightning, accurately hitting the short knife that had just pierced the armor of Pete's light infantry.

With a 'ding' sound, the short knife was deflected by the blow, pulling a blood mark several feet long on Pete's chest.

Auston, who appeared like a ghost, blocked Pete behind him, squinting at the dark shadow that seemed to merge with the darkness.

"Hmph...... What a surprise to me, it was you! ～”

Luckily saved by Auston, the embarrassed Pete covered the wound on his chest, pointed at the black shadow and yelled: "Head, this guy is ......"

"I know."

Auston waved his hand and sneered: "Now, don't pay attention to the agreement with Bancroft, these people are our prey." ”

"Understood."

Pete glared at the black shadow that almost killed him, and immediately picked up the sniper rifle that had fallen not far away, and flew away.

"I remember, you seem to be called Zolo, don't you?" Taking a step to stop Zoro who was trying to intercept Pete, Auston pulled out two triangular thorns from the scabbard on the outside of his thighs and looked at Zoro with interest.

Seeing Pete's back that had gone away, Zhuo Luo frowned with a little regret, slightly arched his back, and shook his double knives back: "You talk a lot of nonsense." ”

"You're the only Republic soldier I've ever met with cavalry strength, so this is a good treat for you." Auston spun out a light and shadow with the three-edged stab in his hand, and an evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I'm Lieutenant Auston, a knight of the Knights of the Twin Stars, hum...... This time, I won't let you run away again! ～”

"Cut! ～”

Zhuo Luo snorted disdainfully, and his legs suddenly exerted force, like a black panther coming out of the night, approaching Auston with only one step.

…… At the same time, Pete resisted the pain and leaped down to the roof of the warehouse, taking advantage of the cover of the surrounding buildings, and deftly jumped from one hangar to another.

But while he was far away from the fourth hangar in District 9, he still looked back at the already entangled Zhuo Luo and Auston in the distance from time to time.

Just now, he almost thought he was dead. Died in a country he had never looked down upon, at the hands of the soldiers of the Republic who he once considered a waste.

For him who is narrow-minded and extremely conceited, this is a humiliation that is too much for him to bear. But he knew that by now, that man was already Auston's prey. He believed that Auston would cut off the man's head in the most brutal way.

"Huh?"

Just as Pete was slightly distracted by the dizzying dogfight in Hangar Four, a sudden warning suddenly woke him up, and he subconsciously rolled over and did a side flip.

With a 'bang', a large-caliber energy projectile flew past his cheek the moment he flipped on his side. Then, before his feet could hit the ground, two more energy bullets struck through the air.

"Three in a row?"

As soon as Pete touched the ground on his toes, he jumped backwards violently, and the moment he flew upside down, the giant sniper rifle in his hand threw out a volley in the air.

Bang! ~ At the same time as the dazzling plasma sniper projectile was ejected, Pete instantly produced a faint magnetic storm reaction around his body, and in this solemn night, the light generated in that moment was as bright as a light bulb.

And Li, who was sniping from 800 meters away, immediately unfolded the folding shield on his wrist in panic after seeing this fleeting electromagnetic light, gritted his teeth and rolled to the right.

Although he was fast enough, the plasma bullet that flew from the shuttle still grazed the folding shield in front of Li Hu between the lightning and flint, and sent him flying far away.

Falling off the roof of the warehouse with numbness, Li stumbled and jumped up, ignoring his left arm, which was almost paralyzed and unable to move, picked up the gun and quickly transferred, gritting his teeth to get closer to the area where the light had lit up just now.

"It's a Gauss heavy sniper rifle...... 12.7 mm caliber plasma projectile ......"

As an excellent sniper, Lee immediately judged the opponent's weapon and caliber.

Although the standard WO3 heavy sniper rifle he used in the Nine Star Republic is also a 12.7mm caliber, the difference is that his WO3 heavy sniper rifle is a conventional weapon and uses a 12.7mm caliber energy bullet. The opponent used a Gauss sniper rifle and a 12.7 mm caliber plasma bullet.

When Lee was in the A3 training camp, he test-fired a Gauss sniper rifle. At that time, he only used a medium Gauss sniper rifle of 9 mm caliber, but even the power of the medium sniper rifle made him amazed at the time.

Compared with the 9 mm caliber, the power of the 12.7 mm heavy Gauss sniper rifle has completely surpassed the scope of the gun, and it is a weapon of great destruction that can be described as a cannon.

On a frontal battlefield, a 12.7 mm Gauss sniper can shoot a hopter equipped with heavy infantry armor even within three kilometers, and can also fire an armored infantry vehicle comparable to an old-age tank with a single shot. In a well-equipped team, a good sniper equipped with a Gauss sniper rifle can easily take out more than 100 heavy loaders as long as there is enough distance and sufficient ammunition.

But again, behind the great power of the Gauss sniper rifle, there is a high risk that can be called taboo for snipers.

Since the Gauss Sniper Rifle requires two seconds of cooldown for each shot fired, its ability to fight continuously is questionable. In addition, when it fires, the excessive electromagnetic response tends to form a spherical miniature magnetic storm around the sniper, so for a sniper using a Gauss sniper rifle, just firing it means being exposed. Without enough self-confidence and ability, no sniper would dare to use such a sniper rifle that would kill him. But on the other hand, those who dare to use such sniper rifles must have enough self-confidence and strength.

Just now, Li had already confirmed with his own eyes this iron rule that was circulating among snipers.

In the case of being sniped without warning, the other party actually escaped three consecutive shots that he had never missed, and the blind shot of the opponent's random shot almost killed him.

With just one attack and defense, Li has already recognized the huge gap between himself and the other party. It was the strongest sniper he'd ever faced, and for the first time, Lee felt that he could be shot dead at any moment. He did not have the confidence to defeat the opponent through long-distance sniping, so he decisively gave up the idea of starting a long-distance offensive and defensive battle with the opponent, and chose to get close to the opponent at the first time, ready to use a gambling melee to seek a glimmer of life.

Bang! ~ But just as Li was rapidly approaching under the cover of the hangar, a plasma bomb from another direction came in an instant, if it weren't for Li stumbling due to the paralysis of his body, this shot would definitely have exploded his skull.

"How...... How could it be ......"

The plasma bullet that almost flew past the tip of his nose made Li's gaze instantly dull, if it weren't for the fact that the body paralysis had not yet receded, and the center of gravity at that moment was shifted, Li would not have been able to dodge this shot anyway.

But compared to the luck that saved his surname's life, what really shocked him was the message behind this shot.

The other party was moving, which Li had expected for a long time. But why is it in that direction? Moreover, judging from the shooting distance, the distance between him and the other party not only did not shorten, but further widened. This is done when the opponent changes direction, and if it is a straight line, the opponent may be able to form an absolute distance advantage in just a few seconds.

"This ...... This is the real strength of the professional soldiers of the Union Army? Leaning back against the hangar wall, Lee was pale and sweating.

Although due to Zolo's early warning, Li had already lost his initial contempt for the fighting power of the Federation Army. But he didn't realize until now that he still far underestimated the true combat effectiveness of the Union soldiers.

"Impossible...... I can't win against him...... I'm going to be killed...... What to do...... What should I do......"

Lee's nervous chest thumped as he stayed where he was, hoping that the sturdy hangar walls would protect him.

As for counterattacking, he didn't know how to fight back now. The other party's lightning-fast speed and strange position made it impossible for him to judge where the other party was at the moment. As a sniper, if you can't even find your target, how can you fight?

"No, if I die, then he will definitely snipe Robin, Colin......" Suddenly, Lee woke up from his fear.

Thinking of the other party's unpredictable sniping, Li had no doubt that without containment, the other party would shoot his companions one by one like playing a game. And the enemy sniper should be his own responsibility, the enemy he should deal with.

"I can't die! ~ Even if I can't kill him, I'll spend it with him! ～”

The awakening at this moment made Li's eyes burst into dazzling brilliance again. He rushed forward desperately, but this time, he no longer aimed at sniping the opponent, nor did he follow the sniper's standard evasive action curve, but regarded himself as an escaping prey, dodging and rolling as he pleased, and dodged the plasma bullets that were fired at him again and again......
