Chapter 289 Assault and Sneak Attack

"There are snipers!"

"Sergeant! Protect the sergeant!"

"The other side is killing the commander!"

When the position where the third officer was located was submerged by a large area of purple lightning, the guards outside the boarding tower guessed what the people in the tower wanted to do, and the soldiers with shields immediately began to move closer to the non-commissioned officer.

Although they couldn't figure out how the people in the tower could send the lightning-struck ore, which would shatter at the slightest touch, over a distance of more than 300 meters, at a time like this, setting up a pneumatic shield was the most reliable means of protection.

This tactical shield, which requires continuous airflow from the bottom to reduce its weight so that one person can move it, has three layers of 50 mm thick composite shield surface, and its single-sided protection capability is comparable to that of the shell of a power armor.

Although the effect may be slightly worse when moving handheld, after being set up side by side, it is even strong enough to withstand medium-sized firepower bombardment for a short time, which is enough to serve as a temporary position on the battlefield. So as long as the shield is set up and blocked in the flight path of the lightning mine...

"Bang!" "Zi~"

As long as the shield is set up, the target will be more obvious.

……

After firing another nail as a beacon, which electrocuted the sergeant and five or six soldiers around him, Leon on the top of the tower almost laughed out loud as he looked at the temporary positions that were quickly set up below. Even though he was now blocked and couldn't escape,

Originally, I had to spend some time finding the target, aiming for a while before shooting, and in order to prevent the sniper rifle from being damaged by counterattack fire, I even had to move to another position after firing two shots, which was not very efficient.

But with the opponent's self-marking, not only does it save the time of looking for people, but you don't even need to aim. Just fire a shot at a similar position to make it easier for Youha in the mirror world to find the position, and then throw the lightning mine directly into the middle of the position and be done with it.

"No! We can't hold together!"

"Spread out! Quickly spread out!"

"We can't stop them like this, we have to withdraw!"

As the frequency of the purple arc circles suddenly increased, several non-commissioned officers with quick minds reacted immediately and ordered the surrounding soldiers to disperse. However, they were still a step too late. Leon had already taken the opportunity to remember the approximate locations of more than a dozen non-commissioned officers.

"Bang!" "Zi~"

The dull sound of sniper rifles and the shrill high-pitched sounds of electric arcs exploding alternated harmoniously and steadily. The soldiers who rushed into the tower managed to hold out for more than two minutes, but the non-commissioned officers outside could not even hold out for 30 seconds before they were electrocuted one after another.

The soldiers, without a clear and unified command system, quickly became confused, and the originally tight encirclement began to loosen...

It's time to get out!

Looking at the encirclement outside which was no longer tight, Leon, who had already reached the bottom floor, took a deep breath. Finally, he fired a few nails at the ambush group and the firepower point, letting Youha interfere with the most troublesome fire suppression. Then he put away his sniper rifle and rushed out of the main gate, running all the way towards the direction where the soul flame was the thinnest!
"Come out! Someone comes out!"

"They are not our people! Quick! Covering fire!"

"Fight! What are the people in the ambush team doing?"

Faced with the sudden rush of enemies, some experienced soldiers immediately opened fire, but due to the collapse of the command system and Youha's occasional interference, several fire points were in chaos and failed to quickly form an effective attack.

Relying on the mind shield of the [Holy Spirit Pendant], after withstanding only about eighty or ninety rounds of fire, Leon had already rushed through the most dangerous blank area and plunged into the temporary position set up by the pneumatic shield. It's stable!

Feeling the sudden decrease in shooting after entering the position, Lyon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Unlike the "civilian" weapons of the police department, military firearms have much larger caliber and power. After being shot at intensively for only six or seven seconds, 80% of his physical strength was consumed.

It was right not to rush out rashly relying on his immortality. With his own level of 5 infection points, he could probably withstand 5 to shots, and the shield of the Holy Spirit Pendant would be completely broken.

In that case, even if you don't die, you will be riddled with nails and become a sieve. You won't be able to move until your body is repaired, and you'll be a living target that won't die.

Now that he had successfully rushed into the enemy's position and avoided the subsequent intensive fire, he had the possibility to rely on the infinite endurance provided by [War Diagonal] and continue to move forward with the shield.

It’s time to speed up!

After taking a deep breath of the gray smoke with a strong smell of sulfur, Leon felt an intense burning pain in his lungs, but his almost exhausted physical strength was instantly restored.

After re-identifying the direction, Leon, whose physical condition returned to its peak, endured the sparser shooting and continued to rush forward with the shield of the Holy Spirit Pendant. Amid the panic shouts and gunshots, he directly broke through the temporary position and rushed out of the encirclement of the first batch of more than 400 guards.

"Oh my god...he ran away?!"

"He's not dead yet? Is he wearing some new type of armor?"

"Don't chase them yet! There might be someone else in the tower!"

Faced with Leon who broke through the formation, the soldiers who had lost their command were unable to organize an effective pursuit in the first place. They just fired a few meaningless blank shots from behind, and then continued to besiege the boarding tower in accordance with the orders given by the non-commissioned officers before they fainted, to prevent more people from breaking out.

However, before Leon could be happy after successfully breaking out of the encirclement, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if he was being targeted by some extremely dangerous predator.

……

"Hiss~"

A low and sinister hissing sound was heard.

Along with the strange sound like a large amount of air flowing through the throat, the shadow of a giant python with an extremely dark black background and densely packed bright white spots on its body inexplicably appeared in Leon's field of vision and bit him head-on through the protective shield he had held up.

At the same time, a small snake that was thousands of times smaller than the giant python appeared silently in front of Leon's chest, silently wrapped around the Holy Spirit Pendant, smiled at the terrified toad on it, and its mouth opened wider and wider...

"Boom!"

A sound like bubbles bursting rang out in Leon's mind.

Leon only felt a slight dizziness in his head, and the mental shield that had been protecting his entire body suddenly melted away, completely exposing him. The shining Holy Spirit pendant on his chest also completely dimmed under the entanglement of the black snake.

"Fuck! The snake spirit of the Scale Gold Cult?!"

Amid the black goat's screams, Leon endured the dizziness and reached out his hand, trying to tear off the small black snake that was gnawing at the pendant.

However, his hand failed to catch anything as it passed through the insubstantial black snake. But the small black snake wrapped around his arm. Its sharp fangs were like two long black nails, deeply wedged into the artery in Leon's wrist.
