Chapter 1395: The Battlefield
A whistle pierced the night sky.
The projectile slowly rotated in the air and finally flashed on the edge of the trench.
*BOOM!*
The fire dispelled the darkness a little.
The ground, which was constantly being blown up by artillery, was already seriously rammed, so it was not difficult to imagine the power that this projectile carried..
The orange-yellow flames gradually dissipated, and a faint burning smell appeared in the air with the unique smell of burnt white gunpowder. Su Xiao didn't know what kind of genius had invented white gunpowder, whose kinetic energy was hundreds of times that of ordinary gunpowder.
When this gunpowder was first invented, it was created as a new source of energy, but, unfortunately, it was used to create weapons.
There was almost nothing that couldn't be penetrated by a weapon with white powder-based cartridges. The usual iron in the face of such a cartridge was glass or a piece of paper. The only things that could stop such bullets were spiral steel and Lomis crystal.
One such crystal was worth 15 million lanks, so no one used it in the war.
Su Xiao wiped the dirt off his head. According to his estimation, if such a projectile landed three meters away from him, he would be seriously injured, if not dead at all.
All artillery shells in this world were filled with compressed white gunpowder, which created a shock force that surpassed that of the moment Apollo's Wrath was activated..
Not just Su Xiao, all the contractors in this world didn't dare to act rashly. One day, one of the overconfident tanks decided to stop a shot from a heavy tank, and ended up being blown to pieces.
On a medieval battlefield, contractors could kill everyone right and left, but on a modern battlefield, especially a fourth-ranked one, any sane contractor wouldn't jump out of a trench.
As for Su Xiao's survivability, he would be able to withstand a maximum of 8 to 10 hits from ordinary rifles. If a large-caliber machine gun starts shooting at him, it will already be a matter of life and death.
The physical fitness of the people in this world wasn't very good. Ordinary soldiers had 30 to 40 points in terms of strength, agility, and stamina, while ordinary people had 8 to 10 points.
The alliance soldiers weren't much different from the kingdom soldiers. Yes, the alliance had its trump cards, but so did the kingdom, but just like the alliance, the kingdom, for example, didn't have many God's messengers.
Because of this, this world was ranked fourth. The power of firearms in this world was too outstanding, making it impossible for any contractor to single-handedly stop even a small army.
Any soldier on the battlefield armed with a firearm had a power that was comparable to a rank four contractor's decent attacks, and they also had sufficient speed and survivability.
If a third-rank contractor encountered such a soldier, they would only be able to win if they managed to get close to that soldier and immediately kill him. If the soldier manages to hit it, then this, in fact, the battle will come to an end..
The probability of Su Xiao dying on the battlefield was at a sufficient level, and the danger coming from everywhere made his blood flow faster and his head think faster.
Su Xiao leaned against the edge of the trench and pushed away the body of the soldier next to him who had been smashed in the head by a rock. He was just unlucky. After the projectile exploded near their hiding place, a rock the size of a soccer ball penetrated through a gap in the plates and flew straight into his head.
Earth, rocks, and even the bark of trees became a killing weapon with a "light" kick from explosions.
Right now, Su Xiao was at the border between the alliance and the kingdom. Two superpowers wanted to expand their territories, but neither of them managed to take control of this area.
The two states did not go to war for any noble or righteous reasons.
This war had only one goal: resources.
This planet did not have enough resources for the smooth development of two huge countries at once, and before there were no resources left at all, one of them had to get all the resources.
The losing side will eventually decline and either become a small country, or even sink into oblivion..
The trench was filled with the smell of blood mixed with the smell of earth. It was already 11 pm. The Twelfth Regiment, which Su Xiao currently belonged to, was fighting the kingdom's armored division.
According to Su Xiao's observation, there was an enemy trench 700 meters away. This was the kingdom's forward line of defense.
Behind Su Xiao was the alliance army, and in front of him was the kingdom army.
As for which regiment opposed his regiment, it was unknown at the moment. All they knew was that the enemy was some kind of panzer division.
Of course, an ordinary alliance regiment couldn't hold an entire tank division of the kingdom, the collapse didn't occur just because it was stretched across the entire border and was fighting several alliance units at once.
After loading the bullets into the sniper rifle, Su Xiao waited. The other soldiers from the sweep team had spread out by now, waiting for the right opportunity. As a sharpshooter, Su Xiao shouldn't be trying to enter the enemy's rear right now, but should be covering up for his comrades.
The Saint and Dadi had already made their way into the enemy trenches under cover of night, and nothing was known about them now. Right now, Su Xiao needed to cover three people, they were going to enter the forest 300 meters away.
If they hide in this forest, they will be able to enter the rear of the enemy camp in the future.
*Sh-sh-sh-sh*
The radio on the assistant's back gave out static, and she immediately picked up the receiver.
— Byakuya, this is for you — " his assistant's voice was very clear. It was not high, only about 1.5 meters. She was wearing a black military uniform, her hair was short, and her fair face was smeared with mud.
If it wasn't for her beautiful face and the bulge on her chest, Su Xiao wouldn't have been able to tell if it was a man or a woman in front of him. When they first met, the first thing he thought about was how a man could be so beautiful?
Su Xiao didn't have any problems with her eyesight, but the assistant's short brown hair and neutral clothing made it easy for others to mistake her for a guy.
However, after she saluted, Su Xiao realized that it was a girl standing in front of him.
Even though he refused Skane, he was still very enthusiastic about assigning this little assistant to him. He said that she was considered the best sniper deuce in the 12th regiment, but she was somewhat unlucky with her partners. During all this time, she managed to work with 27 snipers, but each of them eventually died.
After a series of mishaps, she eventually became depressed, but with the help of her petty officer's healing punches, she became a cheerful girl again, a cheerful girl who could kill a four-meter-tall brown bear with her bare hands.
And now, having received a new task, and this time she was supposed to become Byakuya's sniper deuce, she was happy. The people from the sweep group were considered the best of the best, while Byakuya was considered the best sniper among the best of the best.
Because of this, her eyes were filled with excitement. Given the way she was looking at him, it seemed like she could snatch the sniper rifle out of Su Xiao's hands at any moment and fire a few shots.
— I'm listening.
— It's a Saint. Dadi and I are inside, " the Saint's voice came over the radio.
— Dog and Mountain will enter the forest in ten minutes at most.
— Has accepted. We will create chaos, let them take advantage of it, try to cover them up.
Su Xiao didn't answer.
He jerked the bolt and leaned out of the trench.
*Boom-boom-boom*
After three shots were fired, the trench on the opposite side was silent for a moment.
Three machine gunners were shot in the head.
— Well!!!
— Quieter.
— Good~ ... " the assistant said softly, already looking for new targets. "South, one hundred and sixty-nine degrees, seven hundred and ten meters, wind speed three ..." But before she could finish, Su Xiao shot at the enemy soldier's head.
