Chapter 382 Sniper and Rifle

Forty kilometers from the territory, on the plain, with a weak vein.

Two gnolls emerged from the bushes, followed by a three-meter-tall armored gnoll captain with thick brown and yellow fur and dozens of sturdy gnolls, and a bunch of big goblins that were completely out of size with their thin bodies.

A gnoll collection team.

"It's here! There are a lot of magic materials..."

The two leading gnolls pointed to the white sea of ​​flowers with a faint blue glow in front of them.

The gnoll captain looked at the large area of ​​magical plants blooming in the dense forest. Even if he was just a gnoll without any magical talent, he could feel the magical aura emitted by these plants.

It excitedly grabbed a handful of white flowers, put them in front of it, took a deep breath, and inhaled all the pollen hidden in the stamens... It felt extremely sober at this moment.

As long as I bring the information back, the chief will definitely praise me well.

The gnoll who got out of the bush first raised his head and complained, and his voice became lower and lower under the gaze of the gnoll captain.

"I found this..."

He kicked the little gnoll who dared to compete with him for the credit fiercely, and stuffed the delicate earth vein flowers in his hand into his mouth and swallowed them whole.

"I found this!"

The gnoll captain, who was spewing evil breath, frightened the other little gnolls with his might and waved his hand to let them start collecting.

"If you do a good job... I will also recommend you two to the tribe leader!"

Three hundred meters away from them, a cold eye was falling on these uninvited guests through the glass.

One, two, three, four... He counted the number of hostile targets softly and placed the crosshairs on the largest monster among them.

Grow big, die fast.

If the plants growing on the weak point of the earth vein that had just been found were destroyed, the company commander would definitely say that they were not doing their job well - this flower sea composed of earth vein plants was quite beautiful.

The precision shooter looked at the squad leader beside him, who picked up the metal whistle and blew it gently, and heard a slight response not far away.

The squad leader nodded to him.

Then the precision shooter pulled the trigger.

The bullet arrived faster than the gunshot.

Before the sound of the bullet swept through the forest, the target's body had already added a cavity-like diffusion arc, carrying its blood and flesh.

The natural garden where rare plants grew was stained with blood, and the brain of the large wolf captain who drove the wolf to the garden turned into a blood flower.

"Huh, kill one."

The gray-clothed hunter hiding in the forest put down the rifle in his hand and moved his eyes away from the side mirror installed on the rifle.

Excellent infantry shooters in the squad are selected, and these soldiers with more talent in shooting techniques will get better weapons to become precision shooters/snipers in the squad.

Unlike the precision shooters and snipers of later generations, the territory does not have so many weapons that can adapt to various combat environments.

The territory only has one weapon for these soldiers with extraordinary shooting talents.

Standard rifle equipped with a scope and long rifling.

.50/12.7mm single-shot bolt-action rifle.

Use full-power metal fixed ammunition.

Copper shell bullets are softer than steel shell bullets and cause less damage to the rifling. High strength, good durability, and sufficient production are also the reasons why it was chosen as a bullet.

In order to save time, the first batch of trial rifles were not modified into more common rifles in later generations... Also because if a continuous firing mechanism is to be installed, it will take up a considerable amount of production time.

Airtightness and ammunition supply structure need to be redesigned on the original basis... The dean and the college are currently taking a long break to recover their energy.

Only minor changes were made to the barrel, bullets, and firing pins, and the spare parts available in the territory could be directly used for assembly.

The hunters naturally only got the single-shot rifles.

The lord was resting, and these elite infantrymen who were urgently transferred back from the Sky Island had no time to rest.

None.

The army's rest time was all time outside of wartime, and once in combat, they had to strictly follow orders and fight.

They had only one mission when returning to the territory from the Sky Island, which was to completely eliminate all monster nests within 60 kilometers of the territory.

The earth veins could nourish a crystallized giant crab and a group of crystallized sea mud crabs, so why wouldn't other monsters get corresponding enhancements... The enhancements obtained by the territory also benefited the monsters to some extent.

Dangerous, extremely detrimental to the production safety of the territory.

Although the enhanced monsters could drop more resources, the system would also recognize the enhanced monsters and increase the corresponding rewards to the corresponding level.

Not for expansion, but only to create a safer and more livable environment for the territory.

An environment suitable for human habitation is not ‘natural’. Every civilization will transform its world into an environment more suitable for its own species after reaching a certain stage of development.

Shake off and pull out the bullet shell, and pull out a new bullet from the waist bag, which shines like gold in the shade of the trees.

Push it into the gun chamber, and the rubber and copper shell complete the final airtight seal.

Rifling.

Sharp bullets without rifling will become unstable and roll due to their own shape after leaving the gun. In the era without rifling, using round-headed bullets is a helpless move.

Spherical, no matter from which angle, the negative effect of rolling caused by the instability of the shape of the object is also weakened.

The rifling converts part of the bullet's kinetic energy into a spin that can maintain stable flight, allowing sharp bullets with stronger penetration to be put into service in large quantities.

The crosshairs in the scope set the target, and the precision shooter pulled the trigger.

A hit from a 12.7mm full-power bullet was enough to send these monsters to the embrace of the earth, but the new ammunition was so powerful that the precision shooter had to adjust his shoulders to make himself more comfortable after each shot.

They devoted their energy to the development of the sky island world, and the monsters around the territory began to breed like mold in the shadows.

Breed, multiply, and form nests.

Gather, expand, and form towns.

Resources, the right to survive, they are the "tests" left by the system for the lords.

If even this simple test cannot be handled, there are also cases where the lords who are too weak are overtaken by the tests... The system will not pay more attention to these lords, but will only transfer the permission to the next-level leaders.

For monsters that eat flesh and blood and monsters that cannot be assimilated, mercy has no meaning.

If we ignore them, they will rush into the territory with weapons at some point to disrupt production and kill the residents who are working normally in the area.

"Let the hunting spiders clean up the wreckage. There are no enemies within sight."

The precision shooter put down his rifle and swept his eyes across the garden where a large number of rare plants grew. All the monsters that should run away ran away.

We can't expect these guys who only have the most ordinary iron weapons to show much organizational ability.

The squad leader standing next to the precision shooter blew a whistle. Compared with shouting, the sharp sound of a fixed frequency can more efficiently convey information to each other in each regiment.

It's always more convenient than shouting.

The shooters will not take risks. They prefer to cover the target with precise firepower at a safe distance and command the hunting spiders to force the hidden enemies out of hiding.
