Chapter 754 - 754 754 The Sniper Battle Once Again

754: Chapter 754: The Sniper Battle Once Again 754: Chapter 754: The Sniper Battle Once Again “We’re approaching Thorny Wood Mountain,” the person ahead suddenly announced.

By this point, Zhao Guang’s eyes could already make out the distant terrain, which was very unique, reminding him of when he had first arrived in this world, a wilderness of disordered rocks.

However, the difference here was the row upon row of upright stones, piercing the sky like spikes.

If one were to look up close, perhaps they would witness a different kind of magnificence.

“Is Thorny Wood Mountain famous for these spike-like peaks?”

Jeana suddenly spoke up beside him, her eyesight just as capable of seeing that far.

As for the others, without binoculars, they definitely couldn’t see that distant.

Coscola immediately answered, “That’s one reason, and another is due to a type of plant called thorn wood growing here.

It is said that this plant, resembling spikes, is excellent material for making arrows.”

Zhao Guang nodded, as he had already spotted that kind of plant.

Its color blended with the surrounding rocks and soil—it was almost impossible to discern without leaves, making it difficult to recognize without getting up close.

It was unexpected that such a desolate place could still sustain such a miraculous plant’s stubborn growth.

“Wrong, there’s someone ahead.

We seem to have arrived a step too late.

No, those must be the Klein Empire’s vanguard.

There shouldn’t be many of them; they probably want to occupy Thorny Wood Mountain and then pass through this region.”

Thorny Wood Mountain is not a good place for either defense or assault.

The terrain here is complex, and there are no natural strongholds to defend.

Once you enter this area, it’s like urban combat, and it’s not very friendly to either side.

In such a place, it becomes very difficult to control the direction of the war.

What Zhao Guang wants to do is to block the enemy in front of Thorny Wood Mountain.

The people on the other side are also aware of the difficulties in this location.

Therefore, their goal is to pass through as quickly as possible.

Once through Thorny Wood Mountain, the path ahead would be open and smooth.

At the very least, until retreating to a certain area, there would be no natural defenses to hold.

By then, Zhao Guang would likely have no choice but to lead his men in retreat back to the outskirts of the defensive line near the Imperial City.

That area was too dangerous, and carelessness could create opportunities for the enemy to exploit.

Moreover, Zhao Guang had no idea how many elite professionals from the enemy side were heading this way, so he had to be cautious.

“Master, leave it to me; this is exactly what we’re best at,” Jeana eagerly said.

After receiving Zhao Guang’s nod, she gestured, and the Sniper Team accompanying them hastened their pace with their sniper rifles at the ready.

These Sniper Team members were originally meant to be integrated with the Elemental Archers, but the Elemental Archers had not yet fully developed.

Until they reached a certain level, the power of sniper rifles was still greater, and they were also more convenient to use.

As a result, at this time, among the Elemental Archer squads, one-tenth were still original members of the Sniper Team.

Jeana was going to join them, but Zhao Guang stopped her.

Jeana wasn’t just a sniper; she was also a Priest, and an exceptionally powerful one at that in all aspects.

A moment later, the Sniper Team members entered Thorny Wood Mountain.

With their observation, it seemed the enemies had entered even earlier, so the battlefield was skewed in their favor.

A Rabbitfolk had just crossed a gap between the stones when suddenly the ground erupted in a plume of dust.

“It’s a sniper rifle, they have one too, everyone be careful.”

The message rapidly spread throughout the entire team via the portable walkie-talkie each person carried.

This walkie-talkie was a new creation by Zhao Guang, and it wasn’t one that included an Anti-Magic Crystal.

Zhao Guang had switched radio waves for Magic fluctuations, making it akin to a piece of Alchemy involving Magic.

Its function was to communicate within a ten-kilometer range, the effect being stronger than the original walkie-talkie.

Still, it required the insertion of a Magic Crystal Stone to maintain the energy for the Magic fluctuations.

The advantage was that since it didn’t use any Anti-Magic Spells, there was no worry about it affecting the user’s own magical abilities.

“I see him.” Suddenly, an excited voice came through the walkie-talkie.

Another Rabbitfolk was aiming at someone opposite them with their sniper rifle and the next moment, fired.

The person on the other side exploded on the spot, while the Rabbitfolk turned and left.

The very instant they moved away, the place they had been exploded.

“These guys are strong, everyone be careful.”

Being able to react so quickly indicated they were definitely not amateurs; their proficiency was no less than that of Zhao Guang’s team.

As expected of individuals from a Martial Arts Country, their standards for combat were indeed high.

“The sniper rifles they’re using are specially made by Undead Mages, not as powerful as ours.

Everyone, increase the distance.” Soon, our side had tested the sniping level of the opposition.

In terms of skill, the enemy wasn’t much inferior to Zhao Guang’s team, but their weapons and equipment were significantly lacking.

So, our side began to move as a whole, intentionally pulling back a distance while laying down suppressive fire during the retreat.

When full firepower was unleashed, Zhao Guang’s team, though smaller in number, outpaced the enemy in rate of fire.

Soon, the enemy felt tremendous pressure, leaving them struggling to catch their breath.

You were taken out before you could even spot the enemy; is the gap between the two sides really that big?

And those special bullets, somehow causing effects similar to Magic.

Someone hiding behind a large stone didn’t even have time to come out when suddenly the rock exploded, shredding the person completely with wind blades.

Is this bullets or Magic?

Gradually, the enemy’s positions kept falling back, being pushed out of Thorny Wood Mountain, and now they were nearly fleeing the area.

“We can’t retreat any further, if we keep pulling back we’ll be out of here, and without Thorny Wood Mountain, we’ll be at an even greater disadvantage.”

Thorny Wood Mountain had plenty of cover, and its stones were incredibly sturdy.

But if they left, the outside was just a vast expanse.

Under immense pressure, they started to resist desperately.

In the end, the two sides came to a standoff in a region leaning towards the south.

Battle reports continuously arrived at the front, and by the time things stabilized, Zhao Guang had already led his people near Thorny Wood Mountain.

“Set up camp, we’ll stay here for the time being.”

Everyone sprang into action swiftly, and a large yet simple military encampment was quickly established.

At this moment, Zhao Guang was looking at the front-line reports, his brow gradually furrowing.

“This Klein Empire, indeed not simple, the Sniper Team is quite strong.”

According to the battle report, despite having a superior equipment advantage, the enemy managed to hold their ground.
