[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

You never expected that you would encounter Nikoto while on peacekeeping duty, and even have a conflict with him.

This is something you would never have expected, considering that your relationship at the Chimera base was, if not great, still pretty good.

Why did he suddenly turn on me...?

Thinking about Nicoto's state at the time, an answer seems to be on the verge of emerging in your mind.

But to avoid any misunderstanding, you still choose to ask for clarification.

You take out your phone, find Nicoto's chat box, and send him a message.

[Nicto, was that you just now? I want to know, why did you hurt me?]

I sent a message directly addressing the topic, but there was no response for a long time.

Your furrowed brows suddenly relax, and you exhale deeply.

Forget it, if it really doesn't work out, just pretend you don't have this friend. No need to waste your time.

You and Koenig searched the surrounding area again, and after confirming that you did not find any other armed forces, you decided to drive back.

Your location happens to be at the border with that danger zone, so that information must be referring to another area.

And when you saw Nikoto hitting people, he was probably teaching those militants a lesson?

You suddenly realize that the rules stipulate that peacekeeping forces cannot fire first, but they can fight?

Just as you're lost in thought, the car suddenly brakes hard!

Since you were sitting in the back seat and didn't know what was going on, you hurriedly asked, "What happened!"

"The tire is flat."

"It's Talis, who's driving," Talis suddenly said.

Your expressions all turned serious. How could a car have a tire blowout for no apparent reason while driving on a relatively flat road?

You all know it's not that simple.

"An attack!"

I just don't know which group of people it will be.

"YN, I'll cover you. You and the others jump out of the car quickly!"

When you came, you didn't drive armored vehicles; you drove the off-road vehicles that you used to transport supplies this morning, and those off-road vehicles don't have bulletproof capabilities.

Therefore, you must escape from this cramped vehicle before the enemy fires the next shot to avoid being targeted by concentrated fire.

On the other side of your vehicle, there is a slope. After leaving the vehicle, you can hide behind it and use the slope as cover.

Knowing this wasn't the time to dawdle, he immediately nodded: "Okay, be careful!"

Koenig gave an OK sign: "Trust me."

After saying that, he crouched down under the seat, then opened the window and began firing.

You also opened the car door on the side closest to the slope and quickly got out of the car.

Then, under Koenig's cover, they quickly climbed over the slope!

ch.105: Don't look at me!

After making sure everyone had left the car, Koenig rolled up the window and then climbed into the driver's seat.

He pressed the clutch pedal, shifted into neutral, started the engine, and then released the brake...

A bullet pierced the window, but because the vehicle was moving forward, it missed Koenig's head and instead lodged in the headrest of the car seat!

"Scheisse (Damn!)"

Koenig angrily spoke up, then jumped out of the car and used the slow movement of the vehicle to attract attention, while he also climbed over the slope.

He did this not only to divert attention, but also to allow the vehicle to slowly move to a distance, avoiding serious damage during the firefight, and so that he could drive the vehicle away later.

As Koenig was climbing, several more bullets came from different directions. One bullet even hit the palm of Koenig's outstretched hand. If he had raised his wrist a second later, it would have been pierced through!

Fortunately, he was fast enough, but the bullet still tore through his glove, and the temperature of about 100 degrees Celsius was transmitted to his palm through the glove.

"Damn it, it's so hot!"

After Koenig climbed over, he shook his hands and made a sarcastic remark.

By now, you've adjusted your sniper scope and, looking through it, whisper to him, "Are you alright?"

"No."

Koenig quickly adjusted his scope, muttering curses under his breath.

"A bunch of snipes, let me teach them a lesson!"

After saying that, he lay down on the slope and fired several shots to probe the enemy's location, finally pinpointing the enemy's position.

After predicting the wind speed and adjusting the angle of the scope again, Koenig aimed and pulled the trigger without hesitation!

The bullet flew out at high speed, heading straight for the target!

"what!"

The enemy being targeted cried out in pain, then clutched his cheek and recoiled.

Although Koenig's shot didn't hit the head, it still gave the opponent a 'makeover'!

"Got them back haha..." (Getted revenge, haha...)

Koenig let out a smug laugh.

Meanwhile, you successfully killed an enemy.

"I killed an enemy, headshot."

You recounted your achievements with a hint of pride in your voice.

After all, this kind of dynamic, and especially targeted, firing action during a firefight, is something you've never done before.

Koenig also gave you a compliment:

"Excellent! You're today's top sniper!"

Although peacekeeping forces cannot open fire indiscriminately, they can defend themselves and retaliate; they cannot simply allow themselves to be killed by others.

Moreover, if you don't fight back, you will have no chance of escaping.

The vast desert terrain offers very few places with shelter.

Talis and his two teammates had already run a few meters or a dozen meters away from you. A group of people gathered together would make it easy for the enemy to concentrate their firepower.

Spreading out and taking cover can disperse enemy fire and also expand your field of vision and firing positions.

You've been in a standoff with the other side for half an hour, and you're almost out of bullets.

"Talis, any response from the camp?!"

You asked eagerly.

You sent a distress message to the camp shortly after the start of the battle, but it's been almost half an hour and no one has come to your aid yet.

Talis's voice also became impatient: "Who knows what they're doing! Let me ask them one more time!"

But the other side seemed unwilling to waste any more time, setting up a grenade launcher and aiming it at your side.

"Damn it! The enemy is preparing to use an RPG. Dodge quickly!"

Koenig shouted!

The instant he shouted, a loud bang came from the other side!

You were running down the slope when suddenly Koenig tackled you and grabbed you. Then there was a huge ground tremor, and you were tumbled down the slope in Koenig's arms!

The intense shockwave made you dizzy and caused you to fall into a coma.

When you wake up again, you don't know how much time has passed. You look around and find yourself under a fault line. You stand up and look at the situation above the fault line.

Just about 20 meters away, there was a crater more than 20 meters wide created by the rocket launcher.

Looking further up from the crater, it was only about 30 or 40 meters away from the slope where you started to use it as cover, which shows how dangerous your position was at the time.

Fortunately, the slope here is steep enough to allow you to quickly roll away from the explosion site.

It was only when you thought about this that you realized what was happening.

It seems like you were being held protectively in Koenig's arms at that time, but what about Koenig?

You quickly searched around and soon spotted a familiar figure in a corner of the soil!

You hurried over, but as you got closer, you saw a scene that stunned you.

The person lying face down on the ground with their back to the sky was indeed dressed as a König, but their helmet and mask were lying at their feet, and...

It lay there motionless, its head still appearing red!

You choked on your words, "No way..."

No way...

With your eyes feeling a little swollen, you quickened your pace and ran over!

You breathed a sigh of relief once you got closer.

Thank goodness... thank goodness it wasn't blood.

You walk over to Koenig, struggle to turn his body over, and then give him a little push.

"Koenig, Koenig, wake up."

Feeling uneasy, you reached out and felt for the carotid artery on his neck.

Thankfully, he still has vital signs.

You lift his head onto your lap and gently pat his face.

"Wake up, Koenig, wake up now!"

It was only at this moment that you had time to observe Koenig's face.

Yes, his helmet and visor had somehow come off, and he was no longer covered by the visor that only revealed his eyes, showing his original face underneath.
