Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 68 02.0068: ‘Sniper Partner’

Horatio gestured, pointing at the trench knife against his neck, telling him that he had been eliminated.

Sergeant Storm snorted helplessly and lay on the ground in compliance to show that he was dead.

Horatio looked around and gestured to Louise.

After a simple plan, after an order, the two raised their hell guns and fired rapidly, first hitting the three closest people, and then fired at the sergeant who was facing away from the two and focusing on counterattack.

[+Team leader, prioritize fire suppression on the right! +]

Louise retreated behind the tree and turned to the right.

[+Damn it! My ass was stolen! The right side immediately sought cover and shrunk to counterattack! +]The storm sergeants shouted in the channel.

Faced with the surprise attack, several sergeants on the right quickly left their original positions, and the front line shrunk to the left in an orderly manner.

If it were a normal unit, I’m afraid they would have already started thinking about giving up their positions.

But these experienced sergeants immediately began to re-plan their positions and calmly analyze how many people had touched the back.

[+ Archie, their right wing has shrunk, we need support + ]

Horatio fired a few shots and changed positions, trying to interfere with their judgment in this way, and contacted the 15th team, which was also in the 13th team.

But even so, the sergeants still determined that there were only 2-3 attackers.

The four sergeants who withdrew from the right wing gestured and prepared to attack from both sides.

After hearing their tactical plan in the communication channel, Louise sweated. The sergeants had decided to encircle and annihilate them first. It's okay to attack by surprise, but there's probably no chance of a head-on confrontation.

[+ Fideo, Leidos, support immediately, we're going to be attacked from both sides. + ]

[+ Received + ]

It's difficult for the two to switch positions now. No matter which side they are from, they will give their backs to the opponent.

[+ Team leader, we must pull back and keep a distance from them + ] Horatio said as he observed the situation.

[+ You retreat first, I'll cover. +】

Lasers intersect above the bushes, and burnt branches keep falling to the ground.

Horatio and Louise cover each other alternately and keep their distance, but the sergeants are still pressing.

One of the sergeants looks to the left. He hears the sound of running nervously, so he gives up moving forward, leans against the tree, and aims his gun.

Two shock lasers fly towards the head, causing Leidos and Fideo, who are coming back from the side, to crash into the tree trunk and fall to the ground.

As the other three sergeants get closer and closer, Louise turns back.

Horatio suppresses the three people, but the one who is holding the gun at the back has already aimed at the direction Louise might run to.

"Hiss!" A shock laser hits Louise's leg armor, and the huge impact knocks her off balance and falls to the ground.

【+ Archie, now! +】

Louise, who was lying on the ground, caught a glimpse of the prep students rushing in from the gap in the hedge on the right, and instantly understood why Horatio wanted her to attack the right first.

Archie's team took advantage of the sergeants' retreat and quickly bent through the open space to where Leidos and Fideo were originally.

After receiving Horatio's instructions, five prep students tried to get in through the gap.

[It turned out that he had taken the entire No. 13 team into tactical considerations...]

Louise, who was lying on the ground, felt her own shortcomings. She had been commanding with a group mindset since the beginning of the battle, ignoring the fact that the prep students and Zhongzisheng had been merged into a tactical team.

Archie took the lead in rushing in with the hell gun, leaning against the tree, and two teammates followed him into the tactical position.

The sergeant on the left discovered the infiltrating team and immediately fired back, knocking the fourth person who tried to pass through the bushes to the ground. The last person had to lie on the ground quickly to avoid the shooting.

The four people who rushed towards Louise and Horatio noticed the situation behind them, and before they could react...

"Fire!" The three people who successfully infiltrated immediately shot at the four sergeants, successfully forcing them to retreat and knocking down one of them.

The sergeants gave up chasing Horatio and tried to change their positions to the left, but Horatio seized the opportunity to shoot one of them, completely forcing them to completely abandon their current positions and retreat to the other side.

Plop!

A prep student was knocked to the ground by the shock laser.

Archie quickly retreated behind the tree, and a beam of laser rubbed the trunk, leaving a cluster of shallow carbonized marks.

Horatio immediately bent down after discovering it, and quickly went around to the left with the bushes as cover.

Louise provided cover for him, and when the four sergeants were about to rush in from one side, Leidos and Fideo successfully took over and suppressed them, thwarting their plan.

[Being held. ] Archie stuck his head out and was instantly pushed back by a beam of laser.

There was a burst of short gunfire, and Archie looked out and saw that Horatio and Louise had already knocked the sergeant who was holding him out of his position.

Because it was a training exercise, the sergeants did not make any tactical insertions, and were generally relatively passive. After being tossed around by Team 13, the entire right wing was crushed and began to move to the left wing, and several groups led by Henry Harvey also pressed forward.

This ambush was actually thwarted. Although the sergeants had ten thousand ways to knock down these trainees, the training results had been achieved.

‘+The subject of observation has excellent tactical thinking and is expected to be able to attend the killing team mission soon+’

Valina snorted coldly, sent the combat record of Team 13 to the Fleet Military Intelligence Command, then jumped down from the tree trunk and made a general call on the public channel.

[+The exercise is over. Be careful in the future. Stay alert no matter where you are. Whatever is shot at you outside will kill you. Now, run the remaining 7 kilometers +]

With Horatio's help, Louise, whose legs were still numb, struggled to stand up.

"Thank you, uh." Before she finished her words, she fell forward with an unstable center of gravity.

Horatio raised his hand to protect her and considerately helped her take off the heavy helmet.

"Take a rest."

The young woman was supported by Horatio and leaned against the tree. Her red face was full of sweat. A breath of fresh natural air made her feel relieved.

"Horatio." Louise called softly.

"Hmm?"

"This knife is for you."

Louise took out a single-molecule Cadia knives trench knife from her waist with a sheath: "As a gift for you to become a member of us, it also represents my recognition of your strength."

"Then you..."

"Don't worry, I have another one. Take it, it's reliable enough."

"Thank you." Horatio took the trench knife with a smile and tied the tactical waist belt.

The sound of unsteady footsteps came from the side.

"I thought you would be the first to fall, but I didn't expect you to be the only one standing in the group." Leidos, with a red forehead, came with Fideo holding a helmet.

He was hit twice on the head today, and it was already a little red and swollen.

"I shouldn't underestimate you."

Ledos pursed his lips with apology and stretched out the back of his hand: "Welcome, partner."

"Partner." Horatio smiled and patted his hand.

The tired Fideo also covered his hand and forced a smile.

Finally, it was Louise. As the team leader, she looked at Horatio, who had already integrated into the team, and raised a faint smile.

"Partner."
