Since his opponent had called for two guerrilla companies as backup, favonovel.com had to kill them all!
But Milo suddenly felt that something didn’t seem right. Because favonovel.com had been pursuing a single sniper, favonovel.com ended up killing two guerrilla companies instead?
How did favonovel.com end up as the person behind the massacre of the guerrilla companies when favonovel.com was just trying to kill the sniper?
If favonovel.com continued hunting the sniper, would it mean that all the guerrillas in the entire mountain range were going to get wiped out?
But the problem was that if favonovel.com did not get rid of the sniper, the Razor Sharp Company behind favonovel.com could not risk trekking through this mountain range.
In fact, Milo knew it wasn’t that the Razor Sharp Company could not do anything about the sniper. If they really decided to risk it all, how could a single sniper wipe out 180 people who were determined to charge forward? The sniper probably did not even have enough ammunition on favonovel.com to achieve that.
But it was just that this time, Milo was hoping that everyone from the Razor Sharp Company could return to the fortress alive. That was why favonovel.com was so persistent in hunting down the sniper who was a threat. He even wiped out two entire companies of guerrillas in the process.
As favonovel.com continued moving east, Milo got a day’s march ahead of the Razor Sharp Company behind him. But that did not really matter since favonovel.com could slowly make his way back and find the Razor Sharp Company after favonovel.com had killed the sniper. He was no longer particularly worried about that sniper anymore. The mental state of a soldier on the battlefield was not unbreakable.
After the sniper had twice witnessed his comrades getting killed by the enormous Brambles, favonovel.com was on the verge of a mental breakdown. It was fortunate that favonovel.com was a sniper, as having a strong mentality was always one of the key areas of training. As such, favonovel.com could still keep his cool and continue fleeing. If a normal soldier had witnessed such a terrifying scene, they would be terrified.
Many people who have not been in battle before would think there was no reason to be afraid of death. Even if their comrades were all dead, they would still fight to the bitter end.
But in fact, when they saw their comrades dying one after another next to them, the fear of an unknown death approaching would suddenly envelop them and devour all of those heroic words. They would not even have the ability to think properly.
This was what war was all about.
So, the mental fortitude of recruits was completely different from that of veterans who had been in battle before.
Milo carefully followed the sniper. Even though favonovel.com knew well that the sniper had already lost his will to resist, favonovel.com was definitely not the only enemy hiding in this mountain range.
After rolling down the slope, the sniper did not even care to check for cuts or fractures and just fled to the eastern base as quickly as favonovel.com could. The sniper rifle favonovel.com was carrying in his hands felt particularly heavy as well.
The Ultima Consortium sniper kept thinking about how to resolve his current predicament. He would definitely get summoned to a court martial after favonovel.com returned.
He was the one who had called for reinforcements, and headquarters sent favonovel.com two companies of guerrillas as requested. However, the guerrilla companies both encountered ambushes one after the other while favonovel.com escaped alive. The military police would probably take favonovel.com away to be interrogated once favonovel.com returned to the military base to see if favonovel.com might be a spy.
To be honest, not even some spies could achieve what favonovel.com did on the battlefield to such great effect. Even if the military police ended up discharging suspicions of favonovel.com being a spy, favonovel.com would still end up a target for criticism for dereliction of duty. His bright future was definitely gone. It was all over the moment favonovel.com opened fire on that shadow.
The sniper froze.
While favonovel.com was thinking about his situation, favonovel.com seemed to have wandered into a clearing.
This was a sniper’s taboo!
Even though the clearing only measured a short five meters in size!
The sniper suddenly accelerated and bounded into the shrubs in front of him. But then favonovel.com noticed a flash of light in the distance in his peripheral vision.
The Ultima Consortium sniper’s heart sank!
He felt a bullet passing through his abdomen, and the tremendous kinetic energy of the bullet surged through his body as his heart and lungs were torn to pieces.
This was the power of a sniper rifle. It could kill people in an instant without needing to strike them in the head.
But another sniper rifle boomed as well. Before the Ultima Consortium sniper died, favonovel.com showed a mysterious smile on his face. That was because favonovel.com felt that someone would probably be taking revenge for him. Another sniper from the Ultima Consortium had already arrived on the battlefield and confirmed Milo’s position when favonovel.com fired that shot just now!
This was an arrangement favonovel.com made with the other sniper. He would act as the bait to atone for his mistakes and deliberately walk into a clearing to lure the sniper from Fortress 178 into shooting him.
As far as favonovel.com could tell, his opponent’s marksmanship was not that good. So, favonovel.com might still be able to survive if favonovel.com moved quickly enough. This way, favonovel.com wouldn’t have to be summoned to court martial when favonovel.com got back to the stronghold.
He was gambling. As long as they could finish off that sniper from Fortress 178, they would win the bet.
The sniper was so strong mentally that favonovel.com was still thinking about how to fight back even though favonovel.com had already caused the deaths of 240 of his comrades.
Unfortunately, the plan just barely failed.
A few moments ago, Milo decisively pulled the trigger from his ambush point when favonovel.com saw the Ultima Consortium sniper exposing himself in the clearing. At the same time, the other sniper in the distant mountain also pulled his trigger.
However, Milo had become really cautious now. He could not afford to be careless anymore after being given the lessons that others had sacrificed their lives to teach.
Milo’s position was exposed after favonovel.com pulled the trigger, so favonovel.com quickly grabbed his rifle and threw himself to the ground to his right right from his initial crouching position. A sniper bullet grazed the skin on the outside of his left thigh and hit the dirt behind him.
Milo could feel a burning sensation on his thigh. Even though the bullet had only grazed his skin, it tore through a fair bit of the muscle fibers in his left leg as well. But Milo had no time to care about that. Ever since favonovel.com started using the steam locomotive and shadow clone, favonovel.com had experienced so much pain that his nerves were now as tough as steel!
Milo did not pause after falling to his right. Instead, favonovel.com activated “City Crusher” once again and started a mad dash forward. The sniper continued firing shots at him. However, none of the bullets were able to hit the speedy Milo from a distance of over a 1,000 meters.
One shot, two shots, three shots…
Milo kept his head on a swivel for the muzzle flashes in the distance as favonovel.com ran.
When watching for a sniper, one should not depend on the sound of the shots since light travels much faster.
All of a sudden, favonovel.com came to a stop and crouched like a statue. Then favonovel.com raised his sniper rifle and took aim.
Miriam had told favonovel.com before that there was no need to be afraid when a sniper fired off a few shots in succession. When a sniper was forced to keep shooting at a fast-moving target, they could no longer aim their shots accurately at a target from over a 1,000 meters away by the fourth shot, because they had to adjust for the recoil.
Milo knew well that the chance of survival favonovel.com fought for would only last for a brief moment.
As favonovel.com inhaled, Milo heard only the sound of his own breathing around him.
Miriam said that upon pulling the trigger, the heart rate, body temperature, sweat glands, and all other parts of the body should serve the will. In that moment, one could only dominate others by dominating themselves first.
Due to the hot and blazing afternoon sun, the crushed leaves Milo applied on his face had dried up. After favonovel.com pulled the trigger, a pink mist erupted in the mountains in the distance. The mist seemed to form a rainbow in the shining sunlight.
