I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

This time, the sniper attacked first.

Ellie took out a dozen high-concentration crystal magazines from her backpack and inserted them under the barrel of the sniper cannon that Grayer had been carrying, as if a small shelter had appeared out of thin air.

A large amount of magical energy rushed into the barrel under the guidance of Ellie, while her own magic power firmly protected the inside of the barrel to prevent it from being exploded by the energy.

Her armor began to operate at full power to replenish her energy, and a faint light emanated from her body.

The light was unusually conspicuous in the darkness, and soon a large searchlight shone on Ellie: "Who is it! Enemy attack!"

'Buzz~'

What responded to him was a high-energy beam of light. A huge amount of magical energy pushed the tungsten alloy rod towards the flying fortress and pierced it through.

The magic array inside the flying fortress was breached layer by layer, causing the elemental circuit to be blocked and resulting in an explosion. The fortress with a diameter of more than 50 meters smashed down like a giant meteorite amid the crackling explosions inside.

The defenders below were in trouble as they were stuck in the ground by the discus that fell from the sky. The strong shock wave also shattered the surrounding searchlights, plunging the scene into darkness.

The other team members wearing low-light night vision goggles and red dot sights quickly cleared out the remaining remnants. Betty rushed to the door with a knife, stuck the directional explosives prepared in her backpack on the door, and quickly retreated.

At this time, a beam of light of similar size appeared in the sky on the other side. It was obvious that Team Two had also launched the same attack.

As the core of the matrix was breached, the protective shield covering the dock also disappeared in a tremor, and dense red dots suddenly appeared on the display of the helicopter squadron hovering low above the sea level.

"Alright! Go pick them up! Quick!"

Chapter 287: More Blows, Stars Like Rain

The two huge beams of light that lit up the dock and penetrated the fortress were extremely dazzling in the dark night sky. Then there was a violent explosion, which made the guard corps guarding around the port restless. A large number of soldiers headed towards the dock in troop transport trucks.

As a result, just when they were halfway there, a strong buzzing sound was heard overhead. A team of Challenger helicopters unloaded the rockets on the belly of their stealth-painted helicopters and fired fiercely at the 12.7 Gatling machine guns on both sides at the truck convoy marching below.

There were dense explosions and flames all around the port at night. The support troops that had just set out were paralyzed on the road by the helicopter team.

"Have Team D respond as quickly as possible! There are only ten minutes left at most."

Horst pressed the grip button, and two Gatling guns roared wildly in his hands. The dense tracer bullets hit the top of one of the heavy tanks, causing the turret to fly off with flames.

But at this time, low-altitude anti-aircraft artillery was firing at them one after another nearby. It was obviously impossible for them to delay too long, otherwise they would have to die here.

'Team D only received one signal, and the other team has not found the signal yet.'

"Five minutes! We must withdraw in five minutes at most, otherwise we will all be stuck!"

15 minutes ago

Tina, holding a sword, took advantage of the cover of night to break out of the matrix control room. As soon as she reached the door, she was punched by a figure that fell from the sky and flew back.

'puff...'

It crashed into the room, knocking down three walls before finally coming to a stop in front of the destroyed matrix core. Blood dripped from the exhaust holes of its helmet.

"What the hell?! Where the hell did these holy steps come from?!"

The burly man kicked down half of the wall and walked angrily towards Tina, obviously furious at the devastated scene at the scene.

Looking down at the twisted arm armor on both arms and the broken sword that flew away, Tina said helplessly: "I'm useless, is there any other way? If not, just run away."

"We can still fire one more shot, but we're not sure if we can hit the target..."

Ellie's weak voice came from the headset

The power of the specialized sniper gun should be enough, but the danger perception of a Saint-level strongman obviously would not ignore such a threat. Even an ordinary soldier could have spotted the shot just now. How could they just stand there and take a hit? They just had to dodge.

"...Then fight! Leave the rest to me."

Grayer laid the sniper rifle on his back flat, quickly disassembled the external accessories that were still usable on Ellie's gun and pressed them onto his own sniper rifle. He also replaced the barrel with one with a smooth and thick inner wall. Soon, the sniper rifle in front of him became two sizes larger.

The sturdy gun mount was fastened to the tower wall, and the reserved energy interface of the gun body was fastened by Alice with boxes of crystal magazines.

Strictly speaking, the modified special sniper rifle is no longer a technologically manufactured weapon. It uses multiple energy pipelines to simultaneously pressurize the projectile confined in the chamber.

Even though the gun barrel was made from the best materials technology in the alliance and had all the magic power of the operator to provide protection, it would still be deformed and destroyed after the huge instantaneous double pressure was released.

This heavy magic protection not only allows the projectile to be released smoothly, but its greatest benefit is to prevent the shooter from being killed by the reaction force and explosion fragments.

[Charging time: 5 seconds]

Betty heard the reply from the headset and looked at the burly man who had come up to her. A smoke bomb containing refined magic suppression dust fell from her thigh.

【4】

With a hissing sound, it quickly enveloped her.

"It's all in vain."

【3】

The sturdy man looked at the smoke with disgust, waved his hand, and a strong wind blew away the diffuse fog. Betty, wearing a helmet and mask, looked embarrassed and reappeared in front of the man.

【2】

"not necessarily."

Betty's voice was brisk, in stark contrast to her body's involuntary spasms.

A faint light shone from her chest onto the burly man, and a blurry figure appeared between the two men. The face could not be seen clearly, but a pair of majestic purple-gold eyes were particularly clear.

【1】

The moment their eyes met, the sturdy man trembled all over and his eyes lost their luster.

A beam of light shot towards the sturdy man like a rainbow piercing the sun, and hit his head just before he woke up from his daze. The light beam was briefly blocked for a moment and then continued to move forward, piercing through more than a dozen obstacles before slowly dimming.

"boom!"

Only then did the dull sound of gunfire spread, followed by a much louder explosion in the distance, and the chain of explosions blew the container into the sky.

[The target was successfully killed... What the hell?! Get down! ]

The large dock crane was affected by the explosion and disintegrated, falling to the ground like a golden mountain or a jade pillar. The surrounding containers exploded from time to time, and the broken containers turned into high-speed fragments and swept around.

The Confederate soldiers who rushed to the scene had their heads and limbs cut off by the debris. The scene was bloody and tragic.

"Damn it, the radio group is broken! Communication distance is reduced by 65%"

"Chain reaction, it should have detonated the ammunition inside! Take the captain and evacuate to the second evacuation point first!"

Grayer put the two sniper rifles together, threw a thermite incendiary bomb, and slid down the tower quickly with Ellie, while Betty was already carried on the shoulders of one of the team members.

Among the materials stored at the dock were newly arrived munitions ready for dismantling. The detonated munitions boxes caused a chain explosion, and half of the dock was engulfed in flames.

The helicopter that landed to pick up Team 2 was shaken violently by the strong air waves as soon as it took off. Fortunately, the double rigid propellers had very good impact resistance and regained balance after shaking twice.

The captain of Team D looked at the flames rising into the sky in the distance and ordered, "I'm afraid something happened to Special Operations Team 1. Team 2 will evacuate first."

The coaxial reverse-thrust propeller at the tail of the Challenger increased its speed, and the helicopter flew away at a very fast speed at a low altitude.

The matrix energy core was destroyed, and most of the magic-powered turrets had gone silent after using up their backup energy. Only a few low-altitude anti-aircraft machine guns were still functioning.

However, their attacks could hardly keep up with the speed of the Challenger helicopter, which could easily exceed 350 kilometers per hour at low altitude. Basically, their artillery fire could only follow behind and eat its exhaust gas.

After searching near the center of the explosion, they reestablished the communication channel: "T11, we are heading to the second evacuation point. There is one seriously injured and four slightly injured."

[T11 received, other troops have completed evacuation, you have five minutes left. ]

'clear! ’

Three helicopters flew over the team and headed for the evacuation point. Two armed helicopters used their multi-barreled machine guns to eliminate all the firing points along the way, allowing the one protecting the middle to hover vertically and wait for the evacuees.

"coming..."

The missioner who was standing at the cabin door and lowering the [fish cage] looked up at the sky. Small dots flashing red light had already spread out in the night sky, like an ever-brightening red galaxy.

The ammunition bay behind the night navigation lights of the Gringol bomber spread out to both sides, with a slender projectile suspended in the air. The rack retracted and the projectile fell, and the tail engine ignited and fired. The drum-type ammunition rack rotated again, and the second projectile ignited, rotating in sequence until six projectiles were fired, and the entire aircraft began to climb rapidly.

Hundreds of bombers dropped hundreds of bombs and rushed towards the dock.

The fuse ignited the explosive in mid-air, blowing up the outer shell, revealing the long blasting tube inside. The blasting tube exploded again, and dozens of fireworks formed in mid-air and fell towards the dock.

Betty and the others, who were sitting on the hanging net and being lifted off by the helicopter quickly, watched this scene. Ellie exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"

The stars are falling like rain

The fireworks formed by hundreds of bombs almost covered the entire sky above the dock. The brilliant light illuminated the night sky. A loud bang was heard amid the dense explosions, and the entire dock was reduced to ashes in an instant, turning the spot into a huge fireball.

The violent shock wave arrived after latecomer and caught up with the fleeing fleet, blowing the three helicopters toppling over. The one with a hanging net hanging under the fuselage was especially severed, and was nearly pulled into the sea by the gravity of the net, causing screams from the net.

"Fuck! Pull me up! If you can't fly a plane, let me do it!"

Chapter 288 Drowning in the Toilet

Sanghahaji State

It has been nearly twenty years since Sanghahaji was incorporated into the Union. Backed by the rapid development of the Union, the rail transit system of the Union was integrated and opened to traffic. The influx of a large amount of material supplies has given wings to Sanghahaji's take-off.

Relying on its superior geographical location, it has transformed from a backward region with few resources and poverty into an important hub connecting the western ocean and inland trade of the transit alliance.

Thanks to convenient transportation conditions and huge demand from the eastern states, the vast majority of Sanghahaji people are deeply involved in the transportation, production and sales of goods, and their living standards have been greatly improved.

In terms of development speed and quality of life, it is not much worse than the states in the inner core circle of the alliance. In fact, because it is based on trade, there are fewer competitor continents and trade circulation is convenient, the quality of life is even better than that of several core states.

But such a prosperous and peaceful scene seems to be full of desire for destruction to some people.

"Every time I see them I'm reminded of my hometown. Compared to them, my parents, brothers and sisters are like dirty rats living in the sewers."

The man looked at the bustling city in the distance, took a deep puff of cigarette and put down the telescope: "Me too, we used to be mice peeking at other people's happiness, but not anymore, at least not our children."

The man took out a stack of documents from his arms and distributed them to the people around the campfire: "The last mission was completed very well and the master was very satisfied. The money has been transferred to your family members. This is the transaction receipt provided by the Chamber of Commerce and the letter your family wrote to you. Remember to burn it after reading it."

Everyone smiled and took their share.

"Thank you, boss!"

"My child bought new clothes, but it's a pity there are no photos to show her. She must look so cute in them!"

"My mother was in very poor health, but now she says she is much better, which is great."

The man put out his cigarette:

"Money is very important! Very important! As long as we have money, our family and children can live a rich life! For example, your daughter, Nok, if she doesn't have money, she will probably be a JN or half a JN when she grows up."

"Don't look at me like that. You know I'm right. Think about it. Which woman you meet doesn't do this? She even sells her breast milk and doesn't even want to feed her own baby when it's crying out for hunger."

"And you, Sangji, if it weren't for the money you got before the mission, your mother would have been rotting at home now, so you must have money!"
