The company commander glanced at the scattered arms raised in the crowd: “Where are they?”

“Midoriya, at that time we…” Mandy recounted what happened in detail, and finally said, “The sniper rifle is indeed very powerful, but I feel… it is not enough to break the magic shield.”

“Hahahaha…” A soldier who had just finished calibration work heard this and laughed loudly for a while. He then shouted towards the trees at the edge of the clearing, “Hey, Dam, you’re being underestimated by the younger generation.”

Dam?

Strange nouns swirled in the minds of all the commandos. They looked over there. The forest was dark and quiet. There were plants, weeds, and unfamiliar flowers, but no people.

The company commander smiled and said, “It’s okay during non-mission period.”

The voice floated over with the forest wind. After a while, Mandy saw several short figures slowly emerging beside the tree.

Figures walked out of the woods one after the other, the sun falling on them, illuminating their features.

They have very ordinary facial features and seem to be just a few ordinary people, but Mandy, who is also a soldier, keenly noticed the calmness and bravery in their eyes, and their fearlessness in the face of danger and powerful enemies.

“Captain.” Mandy asked unconsciously, “Are they the snipers who saved us in Green Valley?”

“They are snipers, but… they are different from Midoriya’s snipers.”

Dam came closer and the captain interrupted the conversation, waving in greeting.

Dam smiled in response and asked, “How did you know I was here?”

“Guess.”

Shrugging, Dam turned to look at Mandy: “Have you seen a sniper?”

“See, see…” Being stared at by a peaceful gaze, Mandy felt a little nervous for some reason. After several pauses, she answered smoothly, “I have seen the sniper’s bullet hit the target, but I have never seen the sniper himself.”

“That’s about right. If someone discovers my disguise on the battlefield…” Dam’s eyes became dangerous.

Although those snipers did not belong to the First Army, Dam, as the highest commander of the sniper force, still had the power to decide whether they stayed or left.

After saying that, he glanced at the commandos and asked the company commander, “Reserve?”

“The assessment has not started yet. The Marshal wants them to have some initial contact with magical weapons first. The assessment will probably have to wait until the war with the coalition is over.”

Dam raised his eyebrows, put his arm around the captain’s shoulders and walked to the edge of the woods away from the crowd: “Do you know how many people are in the special forces team now?”

The company commander narrowed his eyes: “This is confidential, how would I know it?”

“I tell you, there are only…”

“Pah…” The company commander slapped away Dam’s hand on his shoulder and said expressionlessly, “These are all going to join the infantry regiment. Don’t dream on.”

“What are you thinking about? I just want one person.”

“I only want one, you can pick any of the others.”

“That’s so stingy.” Dam pretended to be angry.

“You are so generous, you will definitely not snatch people from me.”

“Uh…” Dam was choked and remained silent for a while. Finally, he turned around and walked towards the commando team. “I’ll ask the Marshal for an application.”

“Humph.” The company commander crossed his arms over his chest and followed him. “It was the Marshal who ordered me to train them.”

The two men were evenly matched in their verbal exchange. Dam thought that the commandos and the captain were getting along well and their relationship was heating up quickly, so he was naturally at a disadvantage. So he went to the captain and said:

“Want to be a sniper?”

Mandy’s eyes suddenly widened: “I have a chance…”

“Report!” A soldier put down the radio communicator and ran over quickly, “Captain Domit ordered our army to launch an attack!”

Military orders are as heavy as a mountain and there can be no delay at all. Dam felt a little regretful and called on the team members to get ready to set off.

Just as he was about to raise his foot, he seemed to have thought of something, reached out to take out the magic sniper rifle from the storage bag and put it on his shoulder, and said to Mandy: “Look, this is the magic sniper rifle.”

Mandy stared at it.

The straight barrel silently tells of its power. Three square crystals are inlaid on the side of the gun body. The whole body reflects the metallic luster in the sun, which is extremely eye-catching. But what attracts Mandy the most is the columnar part on the top of the gun body.

What is its function?

“It and I are waiting for you. Don’t let us down.”

“Stop talking nonsense and execute the order immediately.”

The company commander drove them away with a dark face. Dam raised the corner of his mouth triumphantly from an angle that the team members could not see, and walked quickly towards the woods. Halfway there, his figure had disappeared from everyone’s sight.

“Magic sniper rifle?” Mandy stared blankly at the direction where the special forces team left, muttering to herself.

The company commander sighed helplessly. There was nothing he could do. The sniper rifle was indeed cool, but fortunately the problem was not serious.

“Come, let’s see the charm of the howitzer.” The company commander led Mandy and a group of team members who had come to their senses and walked towards a howitzer.

When he got to the side, he glanced around to make sure that all the soldiers had arrived at their posts, raised his arms and waved them vigorously: “Fire!”

…………

Bauhinia Corps Camp.

Sadhu thought for a long time and finally accepted the reality.

The defeat was certain, and the only thing left to consider was how to count gracefully.

Undoubtedly, minimizing casualties is the most effective way.

He gave orders to the two deputy legion commanders, each leading half of the high-level professionals to take over the guard work of the ordinary soldiers, in order to deter Dam’s team from acting rashly.

So the two deputy corps commanders crawled out of their warm beds and started patrolling.

After walking around the camp for a few times, the two men, who were really bored, ordered the high-level professionals to continue their mission, while they hid behind a remote and deserted tent to chat.

“Why did the commander arrange for us to patrol?”

“Probably… to guard against Lake’s Saint level.”

“Tsk.” A deputy legion commander shook his head, “This war is really frustrating. The legion has been on the march for several months and has been on the road all the time.

Finally we got there, thinking we could have a good fight, but we ended up falling into an enemy trap. “

Another deputy legion commander smiled and said, “There will always be winners and losers in war, and it is impossible to win forever.

Come to think of it, I’m more curious about what those traps in the forest are that explode when you step on them.”

“Who knows? It’s definitely not a triggered magic.”

“Of course I understand this, but…” The deputy legion commander’s eyes darkened, “This kind of change beyond my control makes me feel very uneasy.”

“for example?”

“Like…we’re going to die here.”

“Hmm, not a very funny joke.”

“Let’s go.” He lost interest in continuing the conversation and stood up to look for his patrol team.

The two separated temporarily, each carrying out their respective duties. Although the brief conversation created some depression in their hearts, they soon ignored it and carefully inspected the camp from early morning to noon.

Meeting in the middle of the camp, they discussed with each other that it was time for lunch.

In fact, they don’t really need lunch, a daily activity that humans must have. After all, they are all high-level professionals, and simply relying on the magic power floating in the air is enough to maintain their lives.

However, the two felt that the high-level professionals who had been patrolling for the whole morning must be feeling very irritated, and they could release some tension under the guise of having a meal.

Then the two teams split into two groups and took turns going to the cafeteria.

Looking at his subordinates’ much more relaxed expressions, the deputy legion commander put his hands on his hips and said, “If we continue like this, we will collapse without Lake attacking.”

“Haha, I think…” Another deputy legionnaire said halfway, suddenly turned around and looked into the distance at the sky, pressing the hilt of the long sword at his waist with his right hand.

“What is that?” The deputy legion commander looked over and took out a magic wand. The gem on the top lit up, and a magic shield emerged, covering his entire body.

In the brief interval between the two men’s confusion, a few small black dots flew in from the distance. As the distance got closer, the sound of objects breaking through the air reached the ears of the two deputy legion commanders and the soldiers.

A few days ago, they were ambushed while angrily pursuing the Vanguard. Recently, the Vanguard’s night harassment has almost never stopped and they have been forced to endure it. The soldiers have been tortured to the point of nervous breakdown and would react violently to the slightest movement around them, not to mention the strange noises coming from the sky.

The soldiers standing guard at the door looked up in panic, and those who were eating in the cafeteria and taking a nap in the tent rushed outside, looking up to find the source of the noise.

They were all professionals. Even entry-level apprentices would have their body functions improved, including vision. So at least for low-level professionals, they could clearly see the small black dot falling towards them as soon as they looked up.

“what is that?”

These soldiers had never come into contact with artillery shells, and Sadhu had forgotten to popularize them. The combination of these two factors caused the soldiers to not seek shelter at all, but just stared blankly up.

then……

“Boom-boom–” the sound of shells falling to the ground continued.

Chapter 402 Combination Boxing

A round of artillery fire exploded in the Bauhinia Corps’ camp with remarkable power.

Some shells hit the tents, but the adjutant who was taking a nap inside was too slow to come out and look for the source of the noise, and went to another world without any pain. Some shells hit the crowd gathered in the open space, and screams rose and fell in the dense smoke and dust.

The two deputy legion commanders who were on guard were unharmed. They immediately used their magic power to blast away the dust ball and looked around for the situation.

There were some broken limbs on the grass, which belonged to soldiers near the point where the shells landed. As for those who were hit by the shells, they were all stuck to the weeds.

“Arrange defenses!” A deputy legion commander woke up and shouted at the high-level professionals.

They probably did not expect to be bombarded, so they just stood there in a daze, and only moved hastily after hearing the order.

The Sadhus never neglected their training, and even when they were suddenly attacked, they reacted without any confusion.

Based on the current situation, the captain of the high-level professionals determined that a large-scale defensive magic was needed to resist the enemy’s blanket attack. At his command, the magicians quickly used magic to clear the broken arms and legs on the ground and took out crystals to set up magic nodes for the magic circle.

The knights formed a protective circle on the periphery to guard against possible invisible assassins.

As the number of magic nodes increased, the two deputy legion commanders breathed a sigh of relief and looked around.

To be honest, although this round of bombardment was sudden and powerful, the results were very limited. The knights in the high-level professional team were able to partially resist the impact of the explosion with their physical strength alone, and with the shield raised by the magician, there were basically no casualties.

Some low-level professionals were smart enough to notice something was wrong and dodged the shells decisively. Those who were hit were not necessarily killed, but mostly seriously injured. The latter waited for the arrival of the priests and received the nourishment of light magic, and their injuries were instantly healed and their combat effectiveness was restored.

Overall, the Bauhinia Corps did not suffer heavy losses.

The ugly expressions of the two deputy legion commanders improved slightly, and they paid some attention to the attacking weapons.

“Magic crystal cannon?” one of them asked tentatively.

The other deputy legion commander shook his head: “How can the magic crystal cannon reach such a distance? This distance… is beyond the limit of the eyes.”
