Chapter 269
Sunday... uh, there is no Sunday in this world. They are all based on ten days and ten days as a unit. The guys who dare to promote it here for seven days a week are all dead... The morning is white.
At this time, it was already early spring of the Divine Calendar in 1921, and the war between the Elf King Court and the Osmu Kingdom had begun almost a year.
After the prince of Osm kingdom Jeni was seriously injured at the end of last year, the fishman side contracted to defend for a period of time.
During this period, the fishman side has been consolidating the land it has occupied, defending against the military camps at various key points and the military farms set up in suitable places to cultivate.
Taking advantage of the heavy fog in the morning, Charles touched the foot of a hill alone, and then lurked among the thorns.
When the sun rises and the fog gradually fades away, a huge black shadow appears on the top of the hill.
If Charles admits his mistake, this black shadow is a Japanese artillery tower that he often used in movies in his previous life.
Since the beginning of this year, this type of watchtower, which is more than ten meters high and can be stationed with fifty fishmen, has been dug around two to three trenches. The defensive strongholds with fences between the trenches appear in the fishmen's control area like mushrooms after a rain.
The fishman mobilized a large amount of manpower to gather enough materials by quarrying nearby and transporting rocks in the sea, and built these defense strongholds at the frontline defense nodes and commanding heights.
Although the fishman did not have guns, a group of powerful arches and crossbows suddenly appeared in the hands of the fishman in the stronghold, greatly improving the fishman's long-range attack methods and attack power.
Not long ago, during an attack on the stronghold organized by the elves in other places, the attacking elves were suddenly attacked by several rain-like crossbow arrows, causing considerable casualties.
Elizabeth, who received the report, ordered several "tongues" to be arrested in various places to find out the reasons for the changes in the fishman's weapons.
So Charles, who has been rejected by Monk and Churchill for various excuses for this period of time, got a task of catching "tongue".
There is no way, who can get him well equipped?
The fog was slowly dissipating, and the visibility around it was still limited. At this time, a sound of footsteps reached Charles' ears.
Every morning, no matter what the weather is, a fishman officer will lead a team of ten people to patrol the surroundings.
Charles' goal today is to capture the fishman officer.
The fishman officer was very vigilant. When Churchill led his men to ambush him before, he stopped ten meters before the ambush circle, and then turned around and left.
So this time Charles ventured under the fishman's nose and used the cover of fog to pull his teeth.
The fishman's patrol approached, and they walked from the fog toward the ambush of Charles.
When they approached, Charles was stunned for a moment because the equipment of this group of fishmen was different from before.
Because fishmen live in the sea all year round, their weapon environment has always been in water with great resistance. In the water, the power of chopping is far less powerful than that of stinging, so fish people use harpoons that are conducive to stinging.
Today, Charles saw the sword on the fishman for the second time.
Moreover, the sword on the fishman was not an isolated product like the counterfeit Infinite Blade on Jerney, which had a history of countless years, but a standard equipment with the same appearance and size.
Today, four of the eleven fishmen in this team are sword and shield soldiers. Their shields are still made of turtle shells, and the long sword worn on their waists is more than one meter long.
The officer I was going to arrest today did not change his equipment and was still the same.
The Fishman Patrol passed by a few meters in front of Charles. The sight of the rifle and accuracy in Charles's hand were aimed at the front of the route of the fishman officer's advance, preparing to pull the trigger when the target reaches the three points and one line.
After the elves started researching guns last year, they tortured several air guns not long ago.
Charles is no stranger to air guns. When he was a child in his previous life, he even used a lead-fired air gun to hit mice at night under the guidance of his relatives.
However, the air gun was handed over in the mid-1990s. Later, someone could only play the air gun that was used to play the air gun. A group of friends put on their parents' motorcycle helmets with masks, and then divided into two teams to fight. After the fight, they came back and then got mixed doubles.
The target was in place, and Charles pulled the trigger.
The trigger connects a broken magic channel, and the magic power in the magic crystal flows unimpededly into the jet cylinder in the butt stock.
The wind-type magic array inside the cylinder was immediately activated, and the wind element surged out of the magic array like an explosion, and then rushed out along the shrinking outlet of the cylinder.
The wind element passed a small, slightly bent metal trachea into the chamber, and then pushed a warhead forward.
In Charles' hometown, the girandoni air gun that had been on the battlefield at the end of the 18th century, but due to various shortcomings, it was quickly eliminated by the gunpowder gun.
However, since the air gun has been equipped, it means that it still has considerable power.
A dart-shaped warhead flew effortlessly across those few meters, then penetrated the armor connection of the fishman officer's waist, and finally drilled into his muscles.
The dart bullet was coated with strong anesthetics, and the fishman officer who was shot suddenly felt dizzy and weak in all limbs. Just as Charles put away the gun and rushed forward, the officer had collapsed to the ground.
Charles also wanted to kill the remaining fishman "dada" but his air gun is still a bore gun and cannot be fired continuously, otherwise he would not have been treated as a toy in his hands.
The patrol fishman was first surprised that his commander suddenly fell down, and then he reacted a beat slower under the influence of the mentally retarded aura. Then the "soul impact" released by Charles made them feel like their brains were hit by a hammer.
At this time, Charles's big sword had arrived. He rushed into the short-lived fishman, and before they could react, they cut down two sword and shield soldiers first, then squatted down, and a wind blade cut off the feet of another sword and shield soldiers who were holding up their shields to defend.
Before he could finish the attack, a "ice storm" suddenly hit him.
Charles was shocked and rushed towards the clearing ground on the side.
The magic did not hit him, but instead helped him finish it.
He didn't expect that there would be a magician with great strength in this patrol team, so the triple-mounted rifle gun appeared in his hand again and then rushed over.
The magician's ice shield that had just stood up was broken by two dart bullets the next moment, and then the third dart bullet focused on the magician's chest.
The noise is getting big now, and the enemies in the stronghold on the mountain will come down to reinforce at any time after they discover it.
Seeing that the situation was urgent, Charles stepped aside and opened the distance, and used the magic crystal cannon that was emitting blue fire to "dada" the remaining fishmen. The rest were scared away when they saw this.
Seeing that there were no fishmen standing around, a magic powered tricycle appeared beside Charles. In order to put this thing into the storage ring, he temporarily cleared all the items in one ring.
After driving the buff on himself to the maximum, he tied up the fishman officer who was still unconscious and threw it on the tricycle.
At this time, he thought about it, and then brought the fishman's standard long sword and other weapons.
When the fishman who came down from the mountain to support him came to the crime site, he had no gains except the sound of the tricycle leaving and a thunderbolt.
That afternoon, Monk informed Charles that his mission failed.
Because the officer of the Fishman exchanged armor and positions with a recruit, Charles caught a recruit who was unaware of it.
The officer was the magician of good strength, and Charles buried a thunder under him.
However, this operation did not fail completely, because Charles brought back several long swords of the fishman, which was a little rewarding.
