24.1 shot-second burst, high damage, slow reload – that's a sniper rifle!
With each deafening shout of "Hurrah!", the enemy troops in the entire camp were hit like sitting ducks and fell in droves.
And what was Rochester doing at that moment? He desperately needed reputation, and besides quests, reputation came from high-value targets. He quickly locked onto a series of high-value targets marked in gold on the map.
The problem is that these high-value targets have abandoned their troops and started fleeing on horseback.
Rochester quickly set the task:
[Bonus Mission: Eliminate high-value targets]
[Reward: A large amount of merit points]
However, this excitement didn't last long. Soon, he and the other players discovered more than a dozen red dots rapidly approaching them from the north side of the minimap.
Low-threat unit detected
[3rd Magic Hunter Platoon of the Vistula Federation Army]
Number of people: 12
[Bonus Reward: Destroying this force will unlock your personal magic path.]
Magic Hunter Corps!
Rochester suddenly felt a little nervous. Although he had heard of the magic forces before, he had never actually fought one in a direct battle, and his specific strength and combat situation were still uncertain.
With such a generous reward, the task must be quite challenging.
Did this magic unit hear the commotion here? Or is it a nearby base?
"Guo Ruhe!" Rochester shouted, "Get me some men to wipe out the enemy troops that are moving at high speed!"
"receive!"
But when Rochester looked over, he didn't know that the group of players had picked up several heavy machine guns and set them up in the direction of the enemy's attack.
This is what we call initiative!
Rochester quickly awarded the players [50] merits—in recognition of their excellent performance in the war.
After doing all this, Rochester hid in a safe place and opened the reputation shop.
Now is not the time to save reputation!
As mentioned before, as reputation increases, more and more items can be unlocked in the shop—and along with the canned food, the familiar weapon "M1918T-Gewehr Rifle" was also unlocked at that time!
That was the earliest anti-armor weapon!
I said anti-armor weapons are for shooting people, does anyone understand?
One shot kills, slow reload, high damage.
It's a sniper rifle!
The reputation shop panel appeared in front of Rochester, and he quickly found the "M1918T-Gewehr Rifle (Imitation)". The bullets and the gun together would require a total of [500] reputation.
Upon pressing the purchase button, a 66-inch-long, 14.5mm caliber weapon with a tripod, a V-shaped sight, and markings from 100 meters to 500 meters appeared in his hand.
[M1918T-Gewehr replica rifle]
[A replica of the M1918T-Gewehr rifle, this replica uses a larger 14.5mm caliber instead of the 13.2mm used in the M1918.]
Rochester was not impressed with his own marksmanship and wanted to find a player.
Commander Rochester is searching for a soldier with exceptional marksmanship to annihilate the enemy's mage hunter legion.
[Success Reward: One "M1918T-Gewehr Replica Rifle", Rochester Commander's Favorability +5]
[Failure Reward: Rochester's Favorability -50]
Rochester issued a reputation-building quest with two rewards—success and failure. After all, he only had one gun at the moment, and he needed to maintain a reputation reserve for unforeseen circumstances. The quest was crucial, and if a player could actually hit the enemy with this weapon, its value in their hands would be extremely high.
Meanwhile, listening to the countless grenade explosions and cries of agony coming from the camp ahead, the leader of the Magic Hunter Regiment, Warrant Officer Vádizław Anders, looked troubled.
Judging from the enemy's firepower, it is very likely a full-strength company, or even a reinforced company.
Is it the Black Army? The Green Army? Or...?
Holding the "Wz.20 'White Eagle' Individual Field Magic Amplifier," Warrant Officer Anders, looking at the firelight ahead, said to the other team members, "Be careful."
The "amplifier" that Lieutenant Anders mentioned, hanging on his uniform and held in his hand, is a weapon used scientifically to control magical formulas.
A device that allows certain "soldiers with relevant abilities/talents" to interfere with the world with their will—a product originating from the ancient alchemy of "Britannia" and now known as "magical engineering".
However, the amplifiers used by this unit are different from those of "Britannia," which "unscrupulously" utilize the mage's own mental power or even some unknown forces, and possess perfectly constructed spell formulas.
Although they also have mental energy involved, they rely more on a type of mineral called "Vistula Blood Crystal," which belongs to the category of "magic crystal ore" and is mined in Lithuania.
It was a dark red, semi-transparent magic crystal ore. Although its quality was not as good as that of Britannia and other Western countries, it was still sufficient for use in war.
For the reasons mentioned above, the disadvantages are also quite obvious: extremely poor endurance and inability to perform precise operations. They also need to end the battle before their blood crystals run out, or manually replace their blood crystals on the battlefield.
Without the slightest hesitation, he squeezed the amplifier hard, and with some prayers, yellow particles, originating from the amplifier, covered his entire body before disappearing.
[First-Tier Magical Spell - Armor]
This is a basic magic spell. Although bullets will still injure the soldier, the damage is far less than that of a normal soldier.
The information about the other party's use of magical technology and related details also appeared on Rochester's panel. He first shared it with the players and then began to ponder it.
Currently, this magical technology seems quite scientific, but it also has many limitations. Rochester now understands why the "Vistula Federation" invaded Lithuania; they were after the magic crystal mines.
From this perspective, wouldn't this mean that in addition to oil, we have another powerful resource?
besides...
[First-Order Magic Spell: Armor]...
In terms of effect, isn't this just removing the ability for players to regenerate health through breathing?
Wait, does that mean that players are actually mages with built-in magical technology?
...
After arriving at the battlefield, the magic hunter legion took a safe position and quickly began attacking Rochester's soldiers, while also searching for the officers of this unit.
Upon recognizing their uniforms as belonging to their own men, one soldier panicked and fled behind the group, only to be quickly grabbed by Warrant Officer Anders: "Which unit are you from?"
"We are... we are the 3rd Battalion, 18th Infantry Regiment of the Allied Forces. We have been assigned to suppress 'Korosten'," the soldier replied.
Lieutenant Anders was very confident in his magical protection, so he asked the soldier questions in an area he felt was very safe.
But from the players' perspective, this is completely different.
What does it mean to have a group of people standing still and waiting to be shot at?
"Boom!"
The "M1918T-Gewehr replica rifle" fired its first shot!
Lieutenant Anders was speechless.
As everyone around him turned to look at him, the warrant officer had already split up and started working in different directions.
This scene terrified the magic unit, and they quickly came to the conclusion that the enemy had a more powerful magic unit!
This is not a reinforced company at all!
This is the main force of the opposing side! The main force of the opposing Southern Army Group!
They're here to help "Koroskin" break through!
The process was completely wrong, but the result was completely right.
