Chapter 1402: The Mad Plan
The projectiles whizzed into the ground and the ground immediately flew in all directions.
A hot piece of rock flew into the trench and landed right at Su Xiao's feet.
Su Xiao grabbed a handful of bullets from a nearby box, stuffed five of them into his sniper rifle, and tossed the rest back in.
The siege had already lasted for more than an hour, and during that time, the alliance was able to advance about 400 meters. The alliance's most advanced position was only 300 meters away from the first enemy trenches.
But after advancing to such a distance, the alliance troops could no longer continue to dig trenches. If they continued to dig them, they would be within range of the fortress ' heavy machine guns, and the machine guns installed there were vastly different from the infantry's heavy machine guns.
Just a couple of bullets from such heavy machine guns could blow the spiral steel plates apart.
When the trenches of both sides were about 300 meters apart, both sides took up positions and began to fight to the death. If the alliance wins, it will become the most prosperous country on the planet, and if the kingdom gives up its position, it will forever lose its status as a hegemon and nothing can change it.
The girl poked her head out of the trench and looked in the direction of St. Limen's Fortress through the telescope.
— A bunch of cowards, " she muttered, and snorted.
In the past half hour, Su Xiao had caused significant damage to the enemy's heavy machine guns and artillery with the help of his assistant.
As soon as someone dared to stick their head out, Su Xiao would immediately take that curious head off their shoulders.
What was truly terrifying was not the trenches built of concrete and spiral steel, nor the towering fortress of St. Limen, but the bunkers half-buried in the ground.
The bunkers weren't easy to spot, and God only knew how much heavy weaponry was hidden inside. Sometimes, when the alliance forces managed to break through, hidden bunkers would come into action and immediately cause the offensive to choke. At least hundreds of soldiers were killed time after time, but given the current situation, this was the norm.
Su Xiao climbed out of the trench and aimed in the direction of Saint Limen's Fortress.
In the observation post on the fortress of St. Limen, the sniper also examined the situation on the battlefield. The sharp glare of the lens caught his attention and he immediately turned his sniper rifle.
With a bang, the sniper's head was blown apart, and the surrounding walls were splattered with blood. This wasn't the first time this had happened.
As soon as the sniper's head was blown apart, his comrades behind him immediately pulled his body back, and another soldier sat down in his place, but just as he wanted to stick his head out through the gap, a bullet flew right into that gap and stuck into the wall behind him.
— Ha, ha, ha, ha ... " The soldier holding the sniper rifle laughed heavily, stuck his sniper rifle out through the gap and fired a few random shots without even thinking about whether he would hit the enemy or not, after which he quickly retreated from his position, however, right as he was leaving the position, he felt As something hit his chest.
— Lifting his head, he looked around at his companions, hoping that they didn't see this awkward scene, but they were looking at him strangely, and one of them immediately came up to him and grabbed his arm.
— What are you doing? "What is it?" he asked, but suddenly felt an unnatural warmth on his chest.
Looking down, he saw a bloody hole the size of a plate in his chest.
Gunshots, explosions and screams mixed together, it was a very unusual concert, but the ticket for this concert was very expensive.
Su Xiao stopped counting how many soldiers he eliminated. Although he eliminated many targets, he couldn't seriously affect the course of the war, unless of course he blew up Saint Limen's Fortress.
If he destroyed Saint Limen's Stronghold, he would definitely receive a huge amount of merit points.
During his work, he managed to kill two" elite " enemy snipers and received a total of 6 merit points, 3 for each sniper..
Killing enemy officers and generals earned from 1 to 50 merit points, the specific reward depending on the importance and strength of the officer.
What the Nunchang Guild had done was now in everyone's ears. They must have received a fabulous amount of Heaven's Merit Points for eliminating the supreme commander of the kingdom.
But Su Xiao was also satisfied with the current opportunity to earn merit points. Merit points were equal to coins, stat points, soul crystals, and rare resources. The income from such worlds mainly depended on the number of merit points.
*Ding!~*
The spiral plate in front of Su Xiao swelled up, but he ignored it and continued to refine the plan in his head.
— Byakuya, wake up, " his assistant immediately shouted.
Every time something like this happened around him, she immediately became very active.
— Shut up, you'd better go get some rest.
— She said and looked at the sniper rifle in Su Xiao's hands, and Su Xiao silently threw it to her.
She had just poked her head out when a shell exploded right in front of the trench and the blast wave immediately threw her back into the trench.
After that, she became much more obedient.
The problem wasn't that Su Xiao decided not to earn any more merit points, oh no, right now, he just couldn't stick his head out. There were at least a dozen machine-gunners and many gunners watching his position. As soon as he leaned out, he was immediately fired upon.
At this point, at least a million soldiers were taking part in this battle. In a war with the use of hot weapons, the influence of an individual soldier on the overall situation was small, of course, he could make a huge contribution, but only by doing something grand, for example, destroying the fortress of St. Limen.
According to Su Xiao's estimates, it was almost impossible to destroy the fortress with any external influence. Even under the continuous bombardment of 300-mm heavy artillery, not even a single piece of skin fell off the fortress.
Even if Su Xiao activated Apollo's Wrath, it was unlikely that he would destroy Saint Limen's fortress. The melting point of helical steel was 1,600℃, but only pure helical steel had such a melting point, and a more resistant alloy was definitely used to create this fortress.
In addition, Apollo's Wrath only exuded heat at the time of the explosion and a few seconds after, and not on a consistent basis for a long time. Even if a part of the fortress ' hull is melted by the explosion of this bomb, it will not cause serious damage to the fortress.
Yes, the explosion of such a bomb outside will not cause serious damage to the fortress, but what happens if the Wrath of Apollo is activated inside the fortress? More than 70% of the interior of the fortress of St. Limen was made of concrete.
When this idea popped up in Su Xiao's mind, he still couldn't get it out of his mind. Furthermore, his target was still inside Saint Limen's Fortress, so he would still have to infiltrate the fortress.
It was a pity that Bubtney wasn't at his side right now. If he was with him now, it wouldn't be a big deal to bring Apollo's Wrath inside the fortress.
— I wonder how things are going with Bubtney.
But he wasn't going to call off Bubtney, because sooner or later the final battle among the contractors would have to start.
After finishing his plan, Su Xiao took the sniper rifle out of the assistant's hands, pulled the bolt, leaned out, took a quick aim, and fired a shot. The observer on the fortress observation deck immediately collapsed to the floor, and Su Xiao was given 1 Heaven Merit Point.
Merit points were only given out for eliminating any important targets, while killing ordinary soldiers didn't give out merit points.
As the siege continued, the number of dead and wounded on both sides increased exponentially.
After that shot, Su Xiao hid in the trench and didn't dare to come out again. There were now at least five enemy snipers watching him, all of them clearly from elite units.
Not far from Su Xiao sat a contractor, he was covered in mud and looked more like some refugee.
If they were in a derivative world, they would be wary of each other, but now they were engaged in a war for peace, and Heaven itself would intervene in the resulting internal conflict.
As the bullets whistled, Su Xiao calmly bandaged the wound on his shoulder. Given the intensity of the battle, it was impossible not to get injured.
At seven o'clock in the evening, both sides stopped firing intensively. The soldiers on both sides needed to rest. Given the intensity of the fighting and the location of the two sides, neither army would covertly attack each other, unless, of course, it had suicide bombers in its composition.
