Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 96

Sniping (2)

Dallon opened his palm. A faint lingering tingle.

The wound had already completely healed, but I felt a slight foreign body sensation.

Soon, small pieces of metal buried under my flesh were pushed out. Dallen rolled them around in his palm and shook them off.

Felber, who was watching this, made an interesting expression.

“Gunpowder weapons. Am I right?”

“exactly.”

“Looking at the bullets, it looks like a long gun. Ah, speaking of a long gun, it is a cannon made small enough for a person to lift. “I heard that the Empire and the Tsardom succeeded in stabilizing the gun barrel, but this is the first time I’ve seen it in person.”

Felber said, gently stroking his beard. Dallen slightly raised one eyebrow. How does this guy know about gunpowder?

I thought that since he was a wizard who had achieved great heights, he would have stayed in the magic tower and studied all day, but he was an old man who knew more about various things than I thought.

“It won’t be the Imperial Army. “If they were going to go through the trouble of setting up an ambush like this, they would have tried to pull off a trick when we passed through the empire’s territory.”

“Then you’re saying it’s a tsarist country.”

“maybe.”

Felber nodded. Dallen took a deep breath and looked away.

Inside the forest. Various noises are caught in my stretched senses.

The attackers, whose initial life is nowhere to be seen and only a confused presence can be felt.

Originally, the number of signs felt was nine, but one was killed by a hatchet just now, so it was now eight.

“Wait here for a moment.”

“Please go slowly.”

Dallen put down his backpack, leaving Felber behind, who was waving his hands as if he was used to it.

He gave his legs some strength. It was just a little, not a lot.

Tuung –

The moment I hit the ground, my body floats up.

The ground, grass, and trees suddenly disappeared below, and the view became wide open in an instant.

A small forest is visible at a glance, and the walls of Lvivbach are breathtakingly visible beyond the forest path.

Dallen took in the scene for a moment and grabbed the trembling handle of the holy sword.

‘Is this roughly the limit?’

The vibration of the holy sword was several times stronger than usual.

Small flames that rise and extinguish inside the armor.

After leaving the Holy Knights headquarters, Dallon put in a lot of effort to control his powers.

As a result, the effort could be said to have been semi-successful.

By not exerting power beyond a certain limit, I was able to prevent the dragon’s blood power from losing control and exploding.

At least there was no need to go around pouring out True Dragon’s flames in the middle of a city crowded with people.

“…!”

“…!”

A murmur passes through the sound of the wind. Dallen looked down.

The snipers ambushed in the forest were in chaos when they spotted Dallan hovering over their heads.

Dallen grinned. Drawing a trajectory similar to that of a stone launched from a catapult, he changed his direction little by little in the air.

Huuuuung –

A gently drawn parabola. The fall gradually accelerates.

The final destination of the journey, naturally surrendering to gravity, was in the midst of wide-eyed snipers.

Passyuk – coo!

Tree branches and leaves are flying around, and the soil on the ground is rising like waves.

Kwasik!

Even before the dust settled, the necks of the two snipers were snapped like corn.

Snipers falling down. The vomited blood leaks out of the mask.

Taang!

At that time, a gunshot rang out from close range. Dallen reflexively turned his body slightly.

ping-!

A bullet that passes shallowly outside the shoulder and is deflected.

Dehaman’s fully embodied armor fighting techniques created perfect synergy with the Holy Knights’ Baeungang armor.

“what…!”

A masked man holding a long gun shouted in a panicked voice. Dallen walked closer and slapped him.

The inside of the masked person’s face caved in, and the thick contents spilled out through the holes in the mask.

“Aaaah!”

A bayonet stabbing through the dust while slapping each other.

Dallen reached out and just grabbed it.

“uh?”

Immediately after the masked man made a dumbfounded noise as the weapon came to a halt, a large boot stepped on his chest.

Crack!

The guy whose ribcage sank down fell out. Dallon casually took a quick look at the gun he had taken.

Meanwhile, the dust settled and five guns were pointed at him at the same time.

“shooting!”

Ta-da-da-da-dan!

Five gunshots come in succession. Dallen took a deep breath.

A bullet doesn’t even feel that fast anymore.

Even though the dragon’s power was suppressed, his senses were enough to clearly trace the trajectory of an approaching bullet.

Pash…!

Lightly play with your toes. I turned my body slightly to avoid the two in front of me.

The two who followed behind him also took a step forward and let go, and the last one, which flew the fiercest, was struck off with the butt of the gun.

Kwazijic!

A stock that shatters along the grain of the wood and deflects the bullet.

Dallen looked at the guy who fired the last bullet.

Among them, it was the woman who seemed to be the leader of the men and who seemed to have the strongest spirit.

“Monster!”

The masked people except her shouted in fear. It was an evil thing that I had become accustomed to by now.

Dallen swung the half-shattered butt.

After swinging it twice, the butt was completely broken, and the two masked heads also suffered the same damage.

There are three left. It was time to quickly deal with it and return to Felber.

Tatang!

A series of short gunshots were heard, and the number of people from three was reduced to one.

The woman, who instantly pulled out a pair of pistols and killed her subordinate, dropped the gun and naturally raised her hand.

She said.

“…surrender.”

***

“In one word, they are a suicide commando.”

“…Except me, that is.”

Natasha, the sniper woman, nodded.

After a short battle, Dallen returned to Felver with his rifle and prisoners.

It was to find out the full story of the attack.

It was by no means normal to be attacked as if waiting near a city not long after leaving the borders of the empire.

Especially if the attackers were a sniper squad armed with long guns.

Fortunately, the captured female sniper revealed the secret before Dallen could do anything.

In short, they were from the Tsarist Kingdom in the north, and this raid was an operation that only had to injure Daelon, even at the cost of damage.

If you have suffered a gunshot wound, surgical procedures are required to remove the bullet lodged in your body.

It was said that the reason for the surprise attack near the city was to naturally lure the injured man to a lawmaker who had already been planted in the city.

“After luring me like that, the congressman tried to kill me with poison or something else.”

“that’s right. My colleagues opened a clinic here fifteen days ago. “We take care of mercenaries professionally and treat their injuries at a low price.”

The woman thought deeply about something and added:

“I guess the higher-ups knew that bullets wouldn’t work on you.”

“Well she’s right. “There is nothing that contradicts my memory.”

Felber, his eyes colored gold, confirmed her words.

Dallen scratched his chin. First of all, I confirmed that it wasn’t a lie.

But I didn’t completely understand what was going on.

If it was an attack by cultists, warlocks, orcs, or bandits, that could have been the case.

But they were assassins sent by the Tsardom. And a sniper squad?

‘When on earth did you get involved with those people over there?’

The high intelligence level began to search for memories.

Since falling into this world, I have never once set foot on the territory of the Tsardom.

However, I have never met their military or royal family.

In the first place, wasn’t his journey all about working as a mercenary for a few years, then wandering through a labyrinth and catching a dragon in a crack?

“…okay. “Is it a labyrinth?”

In an instant, a memory passed by. Dallen reached into his arms and pulled out an object from subspace.

An item that I had forgotten about after putting it in the corner of my backpack a long time ago.

The name ‘Boris’ engraved on the gold-plated mercenary badge.

The guy with the impressive bandit beard was the most veteran among Lucia and the labyrinth thieves who were following him.

I thought he had connections to the Tsarist royal family because he had an engine hidden in his sleeve that fired lead bullets.

‘It seems he was bigger than I thought.’

“That…”

The woman’s lips trembled when she saw the mercenary card. Dallen threw a gold plate in front of her.

“Do you know who it is?”

“…Boris Kalashnikov is one of the seven princes worthy of the throne of this Eclahim Palace, who deserves to be called by the name of the Tsar, the rightful holder of the scepter.”

“I understand that the current Tsarina is not a mercenary with a thick beard.”

“That bitch is a fraud. “A stooge of the empire and a false king who brought the prestige of the Tsardom to the ground… Ugh!”

The woman jumped up and shouted. That’s exactly what I tried to do.

Because my limbs were tightly tied to the rope, I was unable to control my body and ended up face down on the ground.

As she wriggled and raised her head, Dallon slowly squatted down in front of her and said,

“So you’re a rebel, that’s why.”

“Rebellion! It is a claim to legitimate royal authority! Trying to get back the country that was taken away by a fox-like bitch…”

“You’re right. The current tsarina is renowned as the wisest ruler since Tsar Vyzlov. “Of course, he rightfully ascended to the throne.”

“This old man! “Put that bearded head in your chamber pot and use a pistol… wow!”

It’s a bit harsh to talk to an older person. Dallen gently caressed the woman’s cheek.

The woman, who had lost half of her teeth, was unable to continue cursing and only moaned and bit into blood foam.

Dallen shook his hands and stood up.

He folded his arms and looked down at the woman, gathering his thoughts.

‘First of all, it means you don’t have a grudge against the Tsar.’

It was fortunate.

The Tsar Kingdom are those who are on the front lines blocking the hand of evil spirits coming down from beyond the northern Frost Highlands.

In the end, there was nothing good about already losing out with them, even though we were supposed to cooperate someday.

‘And the mercenary I killed named Boris was actually one of the heirs to the throne that the rebels respected.’

I don’t know why a guy like that would go around stealing in the labyrinth, but there’s no need to worry about that.

The important thing was that the rebels were a big threat to the Tsardom until the middle of the game.

In fact, it was safe to say that the situation in the Tsardom was a mess.

While corrupted barbarians were pushing in from the north, rebels were often rampaging through the city from inside.

Even the leaders of the rebel army are like agents of the devil.

Therefore, the rebels themselves are increasingly transformed into a group that is no different from a cult.

In most episodes, there was a reason why the Tsardom was destroyed before halfway through the game.

“How did I find it?”

“Hehehe…Boris’s mercenary pack…it’s a totem that can be tracked. “Boris, you never cross the imperial border.”

said the woman.

She wriggled and flipped over so that her face was facing the sky. My hands were tied behind my back in a position that was a bit painful.

“The fact that the totem crossed over to the border of the empire means that something has gone wrong with his life. After investigating, I found out that he was lost in the labyrinth. Also, all the people who hung out with him disappeared. “Under the circumstances, you and that paladin were the culprits.”

The woman was constantly twitching as she talked about whether it was because of her uncomfortable posture or because her mouth hurt from being hit.

Dallen looked back at Felber. The elder wizard nodded. It meant that everything was true.

Felber’s golden eyes slowly subsided. I was able to handle a moderate amount of looking into the past with the body I received from Dallan.

“…Save me.”

The woman said, wiggling. Dallen chuckled.

He quietly placed his hand on his waist.

The hand becomes blurry for a moment. The handle of an ax protrudes from the forehead without any sound.

The woman, without even realizing how she died, opened her eyes and bled.

Dallen turned her over with his feet. The two hands hidden behind his back were holding a lump of metal half the size of a fist.

Dallen asked, picking up a metal object.

“Do you know what it is?”

“According to this woman’s recollection, it is some kind of device that generates a fireball spell. “It is made using gunpowder and spells, and if you remove the safety device and throw it, it explodes and turns the area into a sea of metal fragments and fire.”

“Is it a grenade?”

Dallen placed a grenade into subspace.

‘If you touch it, it falls apart.’

[Yes, master.]

After giving the devil a warning to be careful, he carefully wrapped the backpack that had been left on the ground. I heard a little whining as I woke up from a good night’s sleep.

“let’s go.”

“What are you going to do? “There are probably more rebels infiltrating the city,”

Felber asked. Dallen took the horse’s reins from Tommy and looked into the old man’s face.

A gentle smile on top of a serious and solemn expression.

It was as if he knew what Dallen would answer and that he was happy about it.

Dallen chuckled and got on the horse. And said.

“What should I do? Shouldn’t we see that congressman’s face?”
