Chapter 568 Guidance from an Expert
In the boundless desert, all you can see is yellow.
Qin Mo and Kaihime, dressed in desert-colored combat suits, carefully hid atop a sand dune.
"Distance 1500, wind speed 3, dry air, the target should start eating in 15 minutes."
The height of the sand dunes gave Qin Mo and his companion a wide field of vision. The secret camp of the Undead Legion in the distance was clearly visible through Kaihime's scope. Now, all that was needed was the perfect sniping opportunity. Kaihime was about to attempt a new breakthrough in her skills.
The Grand Marshal's telescope has been around for ten years, but its "close relative," the sight, only began trial production last year. This year, the problem of matching it with the new "big gun" was solved. After complex and careful calibration, it can barely allow strong individuals above the Yellow Realm to aim at targets at extremely long distances.
As dusk approached and the weather cooled, the Legion of the Dead finally began to eat. Kaihime took deep breaths, trying to calm her slightly rapid heartbeat, as she waited for the Rakshasa man in his magnificent military uniform.
"Don't be nervous. It's okay if you miss. At worst, we'll just wipe them out like we did a few days ago! By the way, even though you haven't been on the battlefield these past few years, your close combat skills have improved quite a bit..."
Kaihime had already begun to slow her breathing and naturally stopped chatting with Qin Mo. She knew that Qin Mo was deliberately guiding her to not be too nervous, after all, she had just messed up a sure-fire sniping attempt a few days ago.
A sniper team usually consists of two people: a main shooter and an observer. Qin Mo was the first to use a big gun, so he should naturally be the main shooter. But perhaps Qin Mo felt that shooting these low-level strongmen was not interesting, so this time in the desert hunt, he let Kaihime be the sniper and he became the observer for his wife.
As a result, when Kaihime made her first shot a few days ago, she missed at a distance of 1,300 meters and only hit the cook next to the commander. Before the two of them could finish him off, the three or four hundred people in the entire Undead Legion camp decisively scattered and fled. Even though Qin Mo killed more than a dozen Undead Knights and Orcs with his powerful archery skills, the cunning Rakshasa commander still managed to escape.
"I'll shoot him in the chest this time!" Kaihime finally saw the flamboyant Rakshasa general. She put the cross on the general's breastplate and asked Qin Mo in a somewhat uncertain voice.
"Sure, with his skill level, he'd die no matter where he's hit. It's just that headshots are the most challenging and satisfying!" Qin Mo said nonchalantly.
Kaihime pondered for a moment, then placed the cross on the head of the Rakshasa General. Despite being a concubine in Daigo for five or six years, her stubbornness remained undiminished.
He wants a drink of water!
"Bang!"
Before the observer could finish speaking, Kaihime pulled the trigger. A cloud of dust flew far from the muzzle, and a flash of light appeared and disappeared in the twilight. The immense chamber pressure instantly accelerated the heavy bullet to six times the speed of sound.
Just as the Russian general picked up his cup to drink water, he held the action of tilting his head back to drink for two seconds. It was those two seconds that made him never taste the well water of his hometown again, and never see his beloved girl again.
"Bang!"
The head exploded, and the headless corpse was dragged backward by the enormous impact.
"Headshot, well done, chick."
Qin Mo slapped Kaihime's buttocks twice and cheered, causing Kaihime to twist and move away a foot.
"Now it's free firing time, try to kill as many of the other Rakshasa as possible!"
The feeling of getting a headshot was indeed exhilarating. Kaihime entered an excited state and fired wildly at the chaotic enemy camp. However, the distance was too far. With her shooting skills, hitting moving targets at 1500 meters was purely a matter of luck. Occasionally, an unlucky guy would be hit and fall to the ground.
Qin Mo also set up his spear, but he didn't fire it. Instead, he patiently searched for the legendary orc shaman.
"Found you!"
Although orc shamans are intelligent among orcs, they have no awareness of counter-sniping. Dressed in flashy clothes, they run in a straight line under the protection of a group of orcs, making it only slightly difficult for Qin Mo to hit them.
With a gunshot, the orc shaman's sturdy neck was severed, leaving only a tendon connecting his head, which dangled from his shoulder and swayed back and forth.
The warriors of the Legion of the Dead went completely berserk, howling as they charged toward Qin Mo's position. The arrogant couple opened fire continuously, and the flashes of fire had long since revealed their hiding place.
"Kai, switch positions! Let's not fight them head-on!"
Qin Mo instructed Kaihime to begin mobile sniping. Kaihime's cultivation level was still slightly low. If she were surrounded by dozens of monsters that were not afraid of pain, Qin Mo was afraid that he might not be able to take care of her and she might get a scratch. After all, she was his own wife.
As night fell, facing hundreds of orcs and knights howling like wolves, Qin Mo chose to retreat. A sniper is meant to be cunning, and he wanted to instill a completely new combat philosophy in his wife.
"Your Highness, the guerrilla units of the Legion of the Dead must have special ways of communication. We achieved good results at the beginning, but now they have changed their tactics and always cross our search lines at night. Our night sentries have discovered their tracks many times, but the results of the night pursuit are not ideal."
When Qin Mo returned to the Marine Corps camp to resupply, Cui Yunshan reported to Qin Mo with a great headache that the Death Knights were repeatedly crossing the Marine Corps' search lines under the cover of darkness, leaving the Marines confused and exhausted.
"Don't be discouraged. We are just testing the waters. Our reinforcements are arriving soon. Once the Third Infantry Regiment arrives, we can encircle and suppress them."
