Chapter 68 Test Drive Ceremony
The "Chimera" series of flintstones have always been synonymous with the Rhine Empire's sniper flintstones. In the early years of war with the Northern Federation, there were many records of imperial snipers using "Chimera" to accurately kill federal officers at a distance of hundreds of meters away.
This sniper flintstorm uses long conical armor-piercing bullets, and the warhead is mixed with a small amount of tungsten metal by the secret alchemy of alchemy. Even the cast iron breastplate with a 1.4 cm thick thickness of the Federal Army infantry can easily penetrate. The rotational inertia given by the eight rifles can make the ballistic almost straight when extending five hundred meters away. Compared with the common four-rif flintstorm, when shooting at long distances, the advance amount of muzzle lifting can be reduced by about 50% to 80%.
This Chimera 9 also comes with a scope polished with corundum. The two pieces of corundum are superimposed on each other, which can provide the shooter with a magnification of more than twelve times.
"The vision in the dark season will be relatively poor, but at that time I will arrange for people to shoot flares above the target's head from another direction. Remember, there will be only one flare, and the duration will be between 20 seconds and 25 seconds."
"I can fire about three shots." Ashes estimated his loading and aiming speed and said.
Chimera uses pre-loaded medicine packs, and the speed of filling gunpowder is much faster than that of ordinary flints.
"Subtracting to two shots, you must ensure the hit as much as possible. The sniper position I chose is more than 600 meters away from the target. To be precise, it is 641 meters away from the center of the base school ground... If you miss this time, you may not have such a good opportunity next time." Lily said.
"If the other party has put on armor, can Chimera still cause effective damage to the target?" asked Ash.
"It can...but it's very difficult. At that distance, it's hard to penetrate the Iron Man armor directly, but if you can hit the fragile part at the connection of the armor, you should be able to penetrate it, but the difficulty of hitting that part is higher than a headshot." Lily said in a deep voice.
...
...
The next day, in the afternoon, 1:25.
In the western suburbs of Floating Ice Harbor, the base of the 26th Division of the former Rhine Empire Floating Ice Harbor.
The sniper point that Lily chose was not very good. It was just a small hill bag with a height of less than 100 meters. With the drop, most of the schoolyard below could barely be included in the sight. There was no unnecessary cover around the hill bag. If a fire god gun was installed on the schoolyard, it would be easy to completely suppress the place where the ashes were.
But apart from this small hill bag located on the south side of the base, there is no suitable location. There is an open area in the north, and there are coniferous forests on the east and west. Although Tibetans are easy to hide, their vision is blocked very much, which is not conducive to long-distance sniping at all.
Ashes lay in a pre-digged snow pit, and placed the Chimera 9-shaped type wrapped in white velvet cloth on a stone with soft turf. The black muzzle was aimed at the schoolyard in the distance.
The ashes were covered with a piece of canvas of the same white, and four long conical armor-piercing bullets as thick as fingers were placed in the area within reach, and a cylindrical gunpowder bag wrapped in oil paper and tin foil was also on the side.
There were a few gas lights on the school ground, and more than a dozen federal soldiers guarded several entrances around the school ground, as if they were waiting for something.
This at least shows that the information provided by Lily's subordinates is true.
A low sound of engines came from the woods outside the base... One, no, more than one, two convoys drove into the base of the 26th Division one after another and stopped at the edge of the school grounds.
"Finally come..." Lily said in a low voice. She was lying in another snow pit next to the ashes, holding a tactical telescope in her hand, acting as an observer.
The first convoy was made of a light steam armored vehicle, followed by three jeeps painted in snow camouflage, while the second convoy was made of four steam heavy trucks with huge cargo compartments.
"The armor should be placed in the four trucks behind, wait until the test drive ceremony officially begins," Lily continued.
"Um."
The armor was not unloaded from the truck as soon as possible. Instead, several senior federal officers walked off the jeep first, and elite guards in full-suited service followed closely by their side.
Ashes and Lily did not wait until the test drive ceremony began. Even the door of the truck compartment had not been opened. A dull sound broke the silence atmosphere first.
It was a grenade shot from the woodlands in the west. The grenade landed next to the jeep and made a violent explosion, blowing a federal officer and his personal guard who were about to get out of the car into the sky.
"This..." Lily was speechless. She was already ready to use Ashes as the one who fired the first shot and pulled out the snoopers hiding around. But she never expected that someone would be so impatient and directly fired the bomb. The time was only 28 minutes away from the official start of the test drive ceremony in the intelligence industry!
"It's a bad thing..." Ashes smacked his lips, his fingers pressed tightly against the trigger guard, and did not shoot.
The target did not appear, and the Iron Man's armor did not show up, but the fight was already started...
Dozens of armed men in black costumes rushed out of the woods. With the protection of the heavy twilight, they quickly killed the federal soldiers caught off guard on the outside of the base, and inserted them directly into the base's schoolyard like a black blade.
"For the glory of the Iron Rose!" The man in black led a short gun in one hand and a saber in the other, shouting slogans that he had never heard of ashes before, and rushed to the two convoys parked on the school ground with the other men in black.
"For the glory of the Iron Rose!" the other men in black also shouted. Although nearly one-third of the men in black fell on their way to the school grounds, their speed not only did not slow down, but instead became faster, especially the four people, including the leader. They even distanced themselves from their companions and rushed to the front of the federal officers.
"It's the awakened ones... those four people are the awakened ones." Ashes immediately made a judgment that such a running speed was definitely not something that ordinary people could have.
"Damn... it's the dead soldiers of the Iron Rose family... these reckless men..." Lily suddenly sighed in a low voice.
"Iron Rose Family?"
"Yes... these people are dead soldiers trained by Marquis Ionros. This guy is a hereditary marquis. Since the princes and grand dukes of the previous ones were sent to the guillotine by His Majesty, he is one of the largest nobles in the Rhine Empire at present... Do you know why His Majesty cut off the heads of so many great nobles, but did not touch him?"
"Why?"
"Because this Iron Rose family... is particularly rich in iron and humble. Their people are all reckless men who dare to lift their knife and charge at the gun roar formation with a loud roar. Marquis Ironros, this term is very happy with merit. It seems that he wants to monopolize this time's merit... Damn, which force sold the information to them..." Lily couldn't help but curse.
Just as Lily was speaking, the four awakened people had already divided into two groups. Two began to slaughter the personal guards who protected the federal officers like cutting melons and vegetables, and the two were fiercely storming towards the large truck parked not far away.
Ashes can see that they want to destroy the test drive ceremony alone...
