Verbik: "You should know that Prince Bolton will enter Thundercloud City with the Legion of Guards on the 15th of Red Lotus. The desert area is relatively flat, and there are scouts everywhere, so visitors from outside the sky must not have a chance to assassinate. ”

"But the complex environment of the city streets, coupled with the range of that gun, we guess that the visitors from outside the sky are likely to be ambushed in Thundercloud City."

This speculation is very pertinent, and Chino does not deny it.

Thinking about it from another perspective, if he was a reincarnation and wanted to assassinate Burton, he would definitely not do it in the desert, where there were scouts, but if he dared to get close to Boton, there would be no place to run when the time came.

City streets are much more convenient, whether it's a hidden ambush or an escape after the fact.

However, Chino still felt a little puzzled: "In that case, it seems useless for you to come to me, right?" You should immediately contact Grabo Troy, the administrator of Thundercloud City, and ask him to set up a guard in the city to keep Prince Bolton safe. ”

"No, I'm looking for you because Prince Bolton has another plan - to capture him alive." Vibek looked Kino in the eye and said in a deep voice, "His Royal Highness the Prince wants to let the visitors from outside the world move, and then capture them alive at the scene of the assassination!" ”

Chino suddenly frowned: "He's playing with fire, I don't recommend doing it very much." ”

Vibek sighed: "Our subordinates are actually strongly opposed to this plan, but you also know Prince Bolton's temper, he is right, and ten cows can't pull it back, hey..."

Cole added: "But His Royal Highness's plan is not unreasonable, we try to take a long-term view, even if we are in Thundercloud City, and visitors from outside the world have no way to do it, they will still look for other opportunities to continue to set up ambushes in other cities." ”

"His Royal Highness the prince means that the enemy is dark and I am clear, and it is too passive to be held back by others like this. We must take the initiative and sell a flaw, so as to capture one or more visitors from outside the world, force them to ask for information, and uproot them, so that the problem can be completely solved. ”

Vibek took out a military letter, put it in front of Chino, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince has sent us to Twilight City because you are familiar with the tactics of visitors from outside the sky. He is going to let you go to Thundercloud City in advance, with your knowledge of the visitors from the sky, secretly analyze the street topography of Thundercloud City, and deduce the location where the visitors from the sky may be assassinated, and then we set up an ambush on the 15th of Red Lotus to capture the visitors before they shoot. ”

It's a bold idea, and it can be done once and for all, but it also comes with a lot of risk, and it's really a plan that only a macho man like Bolton can come up with.

Chino hesitated for a moment: "If our plan fails, the visitor from outside the sky fires that shot..."

Vibek's hands were pressed and he gestured for reassurance: "Don't worry, His Royal Highness the Prince and all the guards will be vigilant throughout the whole process when entering the city." Even if a visitor from outside the sky fired, he and his guards would immediately block it with the golden fire of the sun. ”

That being said, in Chino's opinion, the danger and uncontrollability of this plan are still too high.

Although it is certain that Vibik and Cole are not reincarnators, it is currently impossible to tell whether Qing has been exposed, and there is no way to tell whether the information was deliberately released by the reincarnation, and it will be very risky to act rashly.

Chino asked silently: "Two, in my opinion, let's postpone this plan for the time being, because a lot of information is unknown now... Otherwise, you will first protect Prince Bolton, and then give me half a month to investigate. When the information is clearer, we will discuss further action. ”

Vibik was silent for a moment, then reached out and tapped the military letter, his tone becoming gloomy: "Administrator Chino, you seem to have misunderstood one thing—this is a direct order from Prince Bolton. You are not the commander of the operation, but the executor. ”

Cole's tone was also a little colder: "We all know that this plan is dangerous, but since Prince Bolton has made up his mind, we must obey, and the army is like that. ”

"I sincerely advise you, don't disobey the military orders, especially not the military orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, otherwise the price will be very high."

Chino couldn't help frowning, yes... In the past, the scope of the plan was only in Twilight City, and as the highest-ranking official, he could play as much as he wanted.

But now the situation is different, with Bolton here, he is no longer the person with the highest status, and has lost control of the situation.

To put it mildly, the chess game is still the same chess game, but the chessboard has become larger, and the original chess players have become chess pieces.

Chino silently looked at the military letter in front of him, the content of the order was the same as what Vibik said, and there was a golden laurel seal at the end, symbolizing the unshakable status and power of the royal family.

If they disobeyed, Vibik and Cole might not turn their faces on the spot, but the price of doing so, given their current status, is unaffordable.

Since there is no choice, they can only accompany Bolton to carry out this crazy plan, at least now the goal of both sides is completely identical, both are to find out and eradicate the visitors.

Chino: "Got it, I'll do my best." ”

Vibek thumped his chest and symbolically saluted Chino: "It seems that we have reached a consensus, thank you for your assistance." Do you have any questions about the details of the program? Let's check it out. ”

Next, the two sides discussed the specific plan.

Burton's plan was simple, he pretended not to know anything, entered the city normally, and secretly remained on guard.

On Chino's side, he went to Thundercloud City in advance, and with his knowledge of the visitors from the sky, he speculated the possible ambush location, and then cooperated with the local garrison to secretly deploy and control, waiting for the visitors from the sky to get into his pocket.

This kind of work, Chino did a lot in his previous life.

The person who knows the best about assassination methods is, of course, the processors who are highly skilled in assassination.

In the anti-assassination operation, ordinary agents think about "how others will assassinate", and experts think "how will I assassinate".

When you become a textbook in a certain field, then other people's every move in this field will not jump out of your field of vision.

In his previous life, in addition to receiving regular orders for fast and slow processing, Chino would also receive private orders from many wealthy people, inviting him to carry out anti-assassination deployments, which is his specialty.

It's just that Chino's identity in this world is not a processor, so he can't show a very professional appearance, and now he can only pretend to be stupid: "If I can, I would like to try this gun first and understand how this weapon works, which will help me with terrain analysis." ”

Vibek made a "please" gesture: "Of course, please, let's go to the shooting range together." ”

With his gun in hand, Chino left the office with Vick and Cole and walked to the shooting range.

Along the way, they met a lot of onlookers from soldiers, all pointing and whispering, discussing what the strangely shaped weapon was.

Instead of hiding it, it is better to make up an excuse to say that it is a newly developed weapon developed by the Hitch family, and give it to Twilight City as a gift, and now try the power.

Chino came to the shooting range with this rune Barrett, and many people had already heard the news and came to watch, including the Big Three of Shirin.

Among them, Baiza, as a marksman, was naturally extremely interested in this weapon, staring at it intently, his face full of excitement and curiosity.

Paladin and Lugo are relatively calm, but they are also probing their brains.

Chino took the rune Barrett and put it on the ground "clumsily".

JUDGING FROM THE APPEARANCE ALONE, THIS RUNE SNIPER RIFLE IS ALMOST THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL, WITH A TOTAL LENGTH OF NEARLY ONE AND A HALF METERS, AND THE WHOLE BODY IS SHINING WITH A STRANGE COLD LUSTER, AS IF THE AIR HAS BECOME SHIVERING BECAUSE OF IT, ESPECIALLY THE 30MM CALIBER MUZZLE, WHICH MAKES PEOPLE SHUDDER.

It is conceivable that when this murderous creature is pulled on the trigger, the kinetic energy that bursts out can definitely subvert ordinary people's understanding of conventional firearms.

In a previous life, the Barrett M82A1 was an anti-materiel sniper rifle, which was not used to hit people, but to fight armored units.

Now the alchemist uses Barrett M82A1 as the original version, and uses rune technology to carve the rune Barrett in front of him, but compared with the two, he doesn't know which rune technology is better or worse than industrial technology.

Seeing Chino groping around on the gun, not knowing where to start, Cole couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward and said: "The alchemist taught me how to use it, I'll teach you how to use it, put your hand here, put your shoulder against this, keep your eyes on here, there is something similar to the crossbow crosshair in it, just pull the trigger with your finger after aiming." ”

Cole spoke and demonstrated, looking like a mentor.

If the underground forces in the previous life saw this scene, I am afraid that they would directly doubt life, and someone was actually teaching the smiling demon how to play with guns.

Restricted by his identity, Chino can only pretend to be new now, "mmmmmmmmmm

"I'll demonstrate a shot, you can watch my movements." Cole set up his gun and put his eyes on the scope, which showed two rows of dummies, one with only two in a row, separated by a short distance.

"Bang!" Cole pulled the trigger, and the entire range shook violently in the furious sound, and many people even experienced temporary tinnitus.

In the distance, the dummy on the left showed a thumb-thick hole in the lower abdomen, and after the bullet penetrated, it hit the hillside with more than enough momentum, blowing up a piece of sand and stones, and the smoke and dust shrouded a radius of more than 20 meters.

This power frightened the soldiers present, which were almost catching up with the heavy ballistas.

"Damn, I was aiming for its head." Cole shook his head and motioned for Chino to come over, "It's your turn." ”

Chino sets up the gun, aims, shoots.

"Bang!" An incomparably blazing flame erupted from the muzzle of the gun, like a brilliant scorching light that bloomed when the stars collided, and then withered in an instant.

The momentum was huge, but the results were not satisfactory.

Chino's shot missed, and the bullet missed the dummy, hitting the hill behind the range.

Everyone inevitably regretted this, but they didn't dare to boo the administrator, so they all kept silent.

Cole reassured: "Don't be discouraged, it's the first time I've used this weapon to fight more crookedly than you, and I need to get used to it, sometimes it's accurate, sometimes it's aimed at the head and kick, it's weird." ”

Chino looked at the point where the bullet landed, and was calculating the data in his mind.

In terms of power, this rune Barrett is stronger than industrially made firearms, just look at the dummy.

The original Barrett fights dummies, and usually directly smashes half of the body.

This rune Barrett hit the dummy, and it was a thumb-thick hole in the lower abdomen.

Don't think that the visual effect of "breaking" is more impactful than "breaking through", just that the former is more powerful.

Quite the opposite, in fact.

If a sniper rifle breaks something, it means that the bullet has a large caliber, slow speed, and a long stagnation time after penetration, and the cavity effect produces a wide range of tears, and it will explode.

The smaller the bullet hole and the smoother the tear surface, the faster the bullet speed, the shorter the retention time, and the stronger its kinetic energy and penetration.

Therefore, in terms of power, this rune Barrett is several times that of the original Barrett, and what the former can penetrate, the latter may not be able to penetrate.

But this rune Barrett also has a significant drawback, which is its aiming performance.

The industrial system of this world is backward, and you have to talk to alchemists about optical aiming, data calculation, and precision advance, and they can't understand it.

Therefore, although the alchemist restored the scale on the scope, he only drew a scoop based on the gourd, and did not understand the principle inside, and it looked like it was engraved, but in fact it was all useless scales, which could not be used for ballistic data calculations at all.

Just now, Chino missed the target, because he misbelieved these scales, which led to an error in judgment, and the situation of "aiming and hitting the feet" mentioned by Cole must be the same.

If you can't look at the scale, and if you want to shoot accurately, you can only rely on the rich experience of snipers to aim with the naked eye.

It's an interesting challenge, so... Let's go with all my might.

Chino continued to shoot and began to grope for the effects of the weather on the bullet through the ballistics, thus forming precise data in his mind.

"Bang bang bang..." There was a roar, as dull and deafening as thunder, and it resounded for miles at every turn, and the thin dust and mist that permeated the surroundings were all washed away, and those who didn't know thought they were using explosives to open the mountain and blast it.

After several rounds of shooting, and summarizing the data through the bullet landing point, Chino had already generated mathematical functions in his mind, and thoroughly grasped the ballistic characteristics of this rune Barrett.

Now, like a little wild cat that obediently goes home with someone, this gun has been "tamed" by Chino.

"Bang!" The last shot rang out, and a hole appeared in the center of the dummy's eyebrows.

"Whoa," Cole whistled and applauded, "pretty." ”

The crowd also praised Chino and kept saying flattering words.

Baixa looked at the dummy from afar, and suddenly the tiger's body was shocked, and a little luster was reflected on his neck, if you look closely, you will find that it is a layer of cold sweat...

"What's wrong?" Paladin asked softly.

Baixa didn't speak, his face was pale, his breathing was disordered, cold sweat was dripping down, and he looked sideways at Chino's back with a look of fear.

Chino turned his back to Baixa, he didn't see that kind of look, he exchanged a few words with Vibik and Colhan, and left with his gun, ready to leave for Thundercloud City.

Seeing that Baiza's teeth chattered, Paladin subconsciously pulled him into the dark and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Baixa raised his head, and his face startled Paladin, and there was no blood, and he opened his eyes and said in a trembling voice, "He is in the company of them..."

Paladin didn't know why: "What do you mean?" Who's with whom? ”

"Chino," Baiza's lips trembled, and the second half of his sentence almost stopped Paladin's heartbeat, "He's a visitor himself..."
