Rifle charge in Ark, but without a mount

Claude handed her weapon back, seeing her self-doubt.

"As for the technique of changing ammunition, I used a little trick. As long as you practice constantly, you can also achieve the same speed as me."

………………

"Okay, Ivona, charge me with all your might."

Claude held a shield in his hand, which was made of transparent engineering plastic. It was light in weight but strong enough. Apart from that, he had no other weapons.

"Understood, Master Claude!! Please be careful!"

The girl lowered her body, and Kuranta's powerful legs pushed against the ground. Then she burst out with all her strength, flying out like an arrow, with the lance in her hand firmly on her waist.

The thick lance stabbed straight at Claude, and the attack was fierce, but Claude frowned. He was an expert in using lances and saw the problem at a glance. He slightly blocked the shield in his hand, and the Kuranta girl immediately lost her balance and fell to the ground. Fortunately, Claude grabbed her clothes in time and prevented her from falling too badly.

"If your body relaxes at the moment of attack, your center of gravity will be unstable. The greatest power of the lance is always when you sprint with all your strength. Don't disperse your strength at the most critical moment."

Ivona scratched her head in embarrassment, then retreated several dozen meters with full energy, and then raised her lance again.

"I understand, sir. Let's try it again."

"Very good!... Watch your path as you charge."

Before Claude finished speaking, Ivona stepped on a small pothole in the road, and her footing became unstable again. She stumbled twice, but fortunately she did not fall.

"Knights should always pay attention to their feet. When you have more experience in the future, you can avoid all obstacles on the road just by relying on your own foot feeling, but now you still have to pay attention to the path of your charge."

Even a strong and cheerful girl like Ivona felt a little embarrassed at this time, but she quickly adjusted herself and launched the next sprint.

………………

In this underground parking lot, the infected knights are training. They are preparing for something, something they are willing to sacrifice their lives for. The sun is shining brightly in the sky, but it cannot reach this place. They can only see the sun by drilling out of the ground, and this requires them to pay with blood and sweat.

PS: I referred to the gunlung in Monster Hunter for the artillery's reloading process. I feel that these two weapons are very similar. I always thought that Bagpipe's siege spear was a gunlung.

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 2 Preparation ()

When people want to think, they often cannot calm down quickly. This is because most people cannot quickly enter the deep thinking mode when they encounter problems. If you want to do this quickly, you need to receive certain training so that you can think calmly when you encounter problems.

As a decision maker of a power, this is a basic quality they must possess. After all, every decision they make is related to thousands of people, and they cannot afford serious mistakes. So Claude would think whenever he had time. The career he did in Casimir and Ursus was like dancing on the edge of a knife. If he succeeded, it would be fine, but if he failed, he would be doomed.

Although he jumped without hesitation, he still needed to reflect and pay attention.

Casimir's side was already on the right track, and the situation in Chernobog had been relatively stable over the past year. Everything was developing in an orderly manner. But his time was very tight. Not only did he have to take care of the affairs of the Silver Spear Pegasus Knights, he also had to pay attention to the progress of the Grand Knight Territory. Especially since the two places were far apart, if he wanted to come back, it would take him two days.

Many messages were time-sensitive, and if he rushed back after hearing the news in the Knights, he would probably miss it. The next plan would enter a critical period, and he should find a way to solve this problem.

After returning, I will talk to my cheap big brother. Maybe I can lead a team of knights to station in this city. Then it should be enough to do what I want to do.

………………

The lid of the exquisitely shaped silver lighter was opened, and the flint on it rubbed against each other, igniting the source stone gas that was ejected. The bright red and yellow flames illuminated a space and also illuminated the chin of the lighter's owner.

"The situation is not good, you two... The situation is very bad."

I couldn't tell whether the voice was male or female, it must have been from some kind of voice changer. In the darkness, I could vaguely see three sofas, arranged in a triangle in the center, with a black figure on each sofa.

"Of course I knew the situation was not good, so I pushed all my tasks aside. It took a lot of effort to make it to this meeting in time."

"The big guys from the Business Federation are urging us all the time. They're almost blowing up the phone. We still have to do something, otherwise they won't give us money for nothing."

The man who spoke was fiddling with the huge compound bow at his feet. The bow was extremely complex, equipped with various shock absorbers, balance bars, carbon fiber frames, and aiming devices. It looked a bit bulky, but it could not hide the creepy aura. This was a weapon that had taken the lives of countless people.

"Isn't that nonsense? Of course we know what to do, but the guys who showed up in the city recently are indeed a bit tricky. Even Roy and Monique fell into their hands. Most of our subordinates are useless and can't even find out the enemy's intelligence. It is very likely that the three of us will have to go all out."

"Ah?! I have to work again. Then I want five times the salary."

"Is your brain rusty? Aren't we getting dividends? Where is the salary?"

"If I don't get paid, there's no motivation at all. If I'm suddenly mobilized, there should at least be a bonus, right?!"

…………

"If you are interested, you can give yourself some. We have no objection."

The man holding the lighter had a very strange voice, and you could imagine the expression on his face just by listening to the voice.

"I have no objection. Anyway, the organization's money has been transferred to your account. You can give yourself as much as you want."

The black shadow holding the huge compound bow took his beloved bow from the ground and placed it on his knees. He took out a small wrench and began to adjust the bowstring.

"Alright, alright, I won't mess with you anymore. How do we divide up the tasks? Or should we three go out and kill any guys jumping around on the rooftops who don't belong to the No Helmet Alliance?"

"Let's follow the old rules and split up. Otherwise, we won't be able to take care of the whole city. If we run into any serious trouble, we'll just have to leave it to fate. We're only paid to do this anyway, so don't expect the two of us to come and save you."

"Then go. Those who don't work have no food to eat."

……

The lid of the silver lighter closed suddenly, and the only flame disappeared from the dark space, and silence returned to the air.

…………

After pressing the button, the terminal screen lit up, illuminating the serious face of the young Fidelia. The time was now 11:04 at night, and in 54 minutes, he would be able to change shifts. This period of time was also the most vigilant period, as most attacks occurred at such critical moments, and he must not let his guard down.

Wrapping his camouflage cape tightly around him, he retreated into the shadow of the rooftop exhaust duct. From the outside, he looked completely normal. The crossbow in his hand was already strung, with an armor-piercing crossbow arrow stuck in the arrow slot. The spellcasting unit on the side was emitting a subtle light, accumulating a terrifying power.

And his colorful eyes were also looking at the surrounding environment very carefully.

Time passed gradually, and in the cold wind, a figure slowly approached the area. With swift and agile movements, he climbed to the rooftop. Sasha clearly saw that it was his team member, who was quickly approaching his position.

Just when he was about to take action, something strange happened!

The blood looked crystal clear under the moon, forming a beautiful fan in the air. A sharp arrow pierced the crossbowman directly into the wall, and there was even a look of joy in his eyes. He then looked at the long black arrow that pierced his chest, struggled twice, and died. Only a large amount of blood flowed along the arrow shaft and boots to the ground.

'Behind me! ! '

Sasha immediately adjusted his position and shrunk himself into the blind spot of the pipe. His current position was extremely unfavorable, with his back to the opponent, which was fatal to any crossbowman.

Without having time to grieve for his companions, he immediately entered combat mode.

But after he actually entered the bunker, the expected attack did not come, and he couldn't help but think of this possibility: Could it be that the other party didn't discover him?

This was very likely, he had been lying in ambush at this location long before dark. He was also very confident in his concealment, as long as he did not make any big moves, he would not be easily discovered.

If he hadn't spotted me...

Sasha clenched the crossbow in his hand. The enemy was in the open while we were in the dark. This was a great opportunity.

His eyes flickered fluorescently in the darkness, like a poisonous viper, cold and magnificent.

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 3 Preparation ()

This is an extremely difficult decision. There is a high possibility that the other party has not noticed your existence, but there is also a possibility that he has already aimed at your position and is waiting for you to stick your head out.

The young man Fidelia thought calmly, even cruelly, in his heart. He never regarded his life as something that could not be lost. If the enemy was valuable enough, he would not hesitate to exchange his life for it.

His finger slowly pressed on the trigger. If the opponent didn't notice him, this would be a great opportunity. Once successful, this crossbow arrow that could even break heavy armor would tear the opponent into pieces. From the long black arrow, he already knew the opponent's identity.

The highest peak of the Wuzhou League, the throne of Xuantie. I didn't expect to meet him today. He is definitely not a simple character. If I am not careful, I will die here.

But after thinking about it, Faust decided to act boldly. After all, the pipe in front of him was no different from paper to those long arrows. Just when he had his back to the opponent, it was the best opportunity to snipe. If the opponent hadn't made a move just now, there was a 90% chance that he hadn't noticed him. It was worth a gamble.

A thick shadow began to wrap around his clothes, making him blend into the darkness. This ray of darkness flowed along the corner of the wall like a stream of water, bypassing the pipes and climbing up the stand, adjusting its position.

He didn't know whether the other party had left. This was very likely. Killers like that couldn't stay in one place for too long.

'Where? Where on earth is it?'

The office building next to it? The tallest building in front of you? Or the building of Comal Foods on the lower left? …

The target was eliminated again and again. Judging from the path of the arrow, the opponent was most likely hiding on the tallest building, but his exact location could not be found.

The two of them were like soldiers advancing in the forest. Whoever discovered the other's position would have the ability to kill with one strike. However, the dense forest blocked their sight, making it impossible for them to find each other.

But Faust had an advantage, the Black Iron Lord was very likely not to have noticed his presence. This could give him the upper hand, so he suppressed his restless heart and made himself like a pool of stagnant water, without any killing intent or violent emotional fluctuations, just like a pool of black stagnant water flowing on the ground.

As long as there is one abnormality, that’s when the stagnant water turns into a poisonous snake.

Time passed by minute by minute, and he kept his eyes on all the situations around him without blinking, just like a real poisonous viper, patiently waiting for his prey to appear.

The moon was moving slowly in the sky, but there was no movement around, only the hustle and bustle of the city below. A few raindrops fell from the sky, splashing on the ground and breaking up a piece of dust. The water drops bloomed like flowers, and then fell again.

But Faust's finger reached into the trigger guard and he gently began to press the trigger... The prey finally showed up.

………………

A figure was jumping between the tall buildings, his movements were swift and clean, without any drag, and he was moving very fast. He was obviously in a good mood, which could be seen from his movements.

Zinc transfer of world-weary ⑨④⑧③2⑦⑧00

He jumped again, from one tall building to another office building, which was more than ten meters wide, but he easily jumped into the air. However, this time he did not land properly at his destination.

A crossbow arrow wrapped in purple light, like lightning, pierced through the night sky and pierced his chest. The latest source stone armor and shield of Thor Industries did not play a big role and was torn apart like a piece of paper, but it also offset most of the power of the arrow and was blocked by the anti-stab fiber under the armor. The huge impact force sent him flying back, but before he landed on his destination, another crossbow arrow pierced his throat. The interval between the two crossbow arrows was less than 0.1 seconds.

The bloody body was nailed to the signal pole of the building, staining the lower part of the pole blood red and causing the huge compound bow in his hand to fall to the ground.

Another crossbow arrow flew over and pierced his head, nailing the round ball to the pole. He was fixed here like a roast duck. But it was not over yet, another crossbow arrow flew over and pierced his abdomen, a total of four arrows, neatly arranged.

Faust let out a long breath. He had just held his breath for 13 minutes because he was afraid that his breathing would reveal a flaw. The huge psychological pressure also made his hands tremble. He gritted his teeth and slapped twice before he calmed down. His crossbow could only fire one crossbow arrow before, but at Claude's suggestion, he modified his weapon and can now fire two crossbow arrows at a time.

He squatted on the ground, even his breathing was a little unstable. He knew how lucky he was to succeed this time. The other party had not discovered him from the beginning. Even in this situation, the other party still cautiously observed the spot for more than ten minutes before starting the next action.

And he only had one chance. If he failed, with the terrifying strength of the Black Iron Lord, he would most likely be killed by the other party. If his crossbow could only fire one arrow...

He was just gambling with his life, gambling that he would not be discovered by him. If the other party discovered any clues while he was lurking, he could shoot two arrows at the suspected place, and there was a great probability that he would not miss.

But he won the bet and made a lot of money.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Faust came to the crossbowman who was nailed to the wall. The long black arrow had pierced him and the thick concrete wall. The blood on the ground was half coagulated, and the boots would pull up red threads when they stepped on it. Faust silently grabbed the arrow shaft and pulled it out with all his strength, and the body of his team member fell on his shoulder.

This was his adjutant, they had worked together for five years. Now all he had left was a heavy corpse.

After some effort, I collected the guy's compound bow and long arrows.

Faust then silently opened the terminal and adjusted the band and channel.

"Viper has hunted down Black Crow. Repeat, Viper has hunted down Black Crow. No. 2 is killed, No. 2 is killed..."

…………

It's worth it after all.

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 4 Preparation ()

The bustling city under the neon lights is filled with all kinds of noise. Even at midnight, there are still many people in the Great Knight Territory who have not fallen asleep. Among them are company employees who are working overtime, workers from all over the city, night vendors... For various reasons, they are still working hard in this dark night to earn a meager salary for themselves.

But no matter how noisy the noise is, it cannot cover up the bloody smell in this city. Every night, dozens of people die in unknown corners of this city. No one will notice their disappearance, and their household registration will quietly disappear from the government system. Except for their relatives, no one will seek justice for them.

The common point of these missing people is that they violated some interests of the Business Federation. It may be a trivial violation, but it is destined that their lives will not last until tomorrow. When the all-powerful Business Federation controlled the city, the daytime of the city belonged to the capitalists, and the night of the city belonged to the Heirless Alliance they nurtured. The whole city was like an orderly machine, devouring people's lives, dreams, blood and all positive things.

At that time, they were the objects of fear of all the knights in the city. Most knights would tremble with fear when they saw the people related to the No-Helm Alliance.

But those days are gone forever. Since the Brilliant Knight won the championship a few years ago, the prestige of the Business Union in this city has been declining, and its control has been declining. Today, the assassins of the No-Hero Alliance can no longer act lawless like before. Now they have to be careful whenever they go out to perform missions. There has long been a secret force in the city that can fight against them. Many assassins have never returned after leaving.

Although it is now in a much worse state, the Wuzhou League is not a charity organization. You can only enter but not leave. If you want to leave the organization, you will be considered a defector, and the traitor will be hunted down by the killers day and night. Every traitor who defected from the organization has a considerable bounty on his head.

Of course, this amount of money is nothing to the Lord Xuantie, but since he saw it on the road, he might as well get rid of it.

The black arrow streaked silently in the night sky, piercing through the two-meter-thick concrete wall with terrifying force. The solid rooftop building was completely destroyed. The power of this attack was so terrible that it was no less than that of a heavy siege weapon that required several soldiers to operate. Even the most powerful knight would have difficulty saving his life if he was hit without any defense.

But he was not satisfied at all. If you ask why, of course it was because the attack did not hit the enemy at all. The white figure tilted his head slightly, as if he had eyes on the back of his head, and the arrow that was completely invisible in the dark night fell into the air, which was completely beyond his expectations. Just when he was preparing for the next attack, the opponent jumped down from the roof like a light butterfly.

The corner of his mouth curled up: It seems that this defected girl has become more complicated now. He saw that the other party was luring the enemy into deep, but he also had the confidence that he could escape safely.

His figure disappeared in the moonlight in the blink of an eye, just like a flash, appearing and disappearing on the rooftops of buildings one after another. He chased in the direction of his prey's escape at an extremely fast speed.

…………

Xinteleya sat quietly on the railing of the rooftop of an office building. The silver moonlight shone on her body, making her white hair shine like silver threads.

A beautiful girl sitting on the rooftop under the moonlight was a beautiful scene like a painting. However, no matter how beautiful and harmonious the scene was, it could not conceal the unprecedented murderous intent in this area.

A dark figure was standing quietly on the signal tower of Kerma Foods. No one knew when he stood there, just like a black night sky, quietly and silently falling on the tip that was only three centimeters wide.

Xinteleya raised her head and the two looked at each other quietly.

"Little girl, what do you rely on? You can call them out."

It was still the electronic sound that didn't distinguish between men and women. The black hood and mask covered his face tightly, not an inch of skin was exposed. The longbow in his hand was plain and simple, it looked like it was just a simple bow without any additional parts. It was just like those made by hunters in the wilderness by cutting down a small tree.

But the power unleashed by such a simple structure is even more incomprehensible.

"You have already hindered us, so I'm sorry, my former boss, you have to die here today."

Xintelaiya stood up on one foot, her longbow hanging on the side of the guardrail. She took out a slender armor-piercing arrow from her quiver and put it on the arrow rest.
