Chapter 245: Nature

Dainien knew that the person who destroyed that recoilless rifle was none other than 'Mr. Li', who was not far from her.

According to the revised battle plan by Sampson and the others, these recoilless rifles were to be dealt with by Howard Eisenhower and this mysterious figure.

The latter indeed lived up to Sampson's expectations, scoring a hit with the first shot and destroying a target with the best firing angle inside the factory.

What surprised Dainien next was that Li Mochen's sniper rifle, covered with a gun cloth, fired continuously, emptying all seven bullets in the magazine within less than three seconds.

This seemingly casual shooting hit every time. Of the four recoilless rifles in the opposite warehouse, only two managed to fire a single shell before being successively destroyed by Li Mochen's bullets.

At the same time, three gunmen were hit in the brain and killed instantly, despite the protection of the seventeenth-level magic defense array and the thick walls. The powerful enemy firepower fell silent in an instant, and all the gunmen inside had to be more cautious when firing and frequently change shooting positions. They had realized that this warehouse, with defensive strength equivalent to a semi-permanent fortification, could not guarantee their safety.

Dainien guessed that the person hidden inside the armor was probably the top sniper who had killed Black Axe Richard. Although she could not sense a strong magical energy reaction from him, his marksmanship was indeed terrifyingly strong.

Li Mochen also changed position and came to Dainien's side. He had just been targeted by a fifteenth-level magic shooter, who, taking advantage of the terrain, forced him to temporarily avoid the锋芒.

To Li Mochen's relief, Howard Eisenhower on the southeast side also achieved impressive results, destroying two recoilless rifles and killing three gunmen within five seconds.

"Ms. Stacy, according to the battle plan, you will serve as my spotter."

Because shooting requires full concentration and the use of the scope limits the field of view.

At this moment, Li Mochen could not promptly detect and respond to sudden situations around him.

He did have a very high danger perception ability, but it was hard to guarantee infallibility. As for his spiritual sense, it could hardly penetrate the sturdy magic defense array deep into the factory interior.

So he now needed a careful and powerful spotter to help him select targets and detect dangers.

"I thought you wouldn't need me."

Dainien gave a bitter laugh before finally getting into character, using military binoculars to observe: "Directly ahead at 75 degrees, elevation 24 degrees, someone is aiming this way—"

She didn't finish, because Li Mochen's 'Dragon's Might' had already fired. A high-grade armor-piercing incendiary bullet successively penetrated the magic defense array outside the factory and two layers of three-meter-thick steel-reinforced walls, piercing the man's head.

The special scope of 'Dragon's Might', combined with 'Titan's Eye' and 'True Dragon Vision', as well as Li Mochen's Violet Astrology technique 'Zhou Tian Divine Mechanism Xuan Shu Lock Star Secret Method', allowed him to easily locate these people, even if they were hidden behind solid concrete walls.

At this moment, Li Mochen was not sparing his merit power at all.

It could be expected that if he could rescue Hairou and prevent the resurrection of the Calamity Flame Dragon Maiden, he would not lack merit rewards after this operation.

But if he ultimately failed, then the retaliation from the Dragon Witch Cult and the Calamity Flame Dragon Maiden alone would put him in an extremely perilous situation. At such a time, holding back would be utterly foolish.

Dainien's observation was very sharp and she was experienced. She could always detect risks first and identify easy targets inside the factory. The enemy gunmen could not escape her observation even if they only showed a piece of clothing, a muzzle, or even a hint of killing intent.

At first, Dainien was somewhat conservative, forcing the two to change shooting positions three times. But when she discovered that no matter how difficult the angle, Li Mochen could handle it, and no matter how solid the cover, his bullets could penetrate it, she completely let go.

She was a follower of Artemis, who is not only the goddess of nature but also the goddess of the hunt. Although Dainien's magic class was a Holy Temple Warrior, when using divine spells, her observation and sensing abilities could temporarily match many magic hunters.

Thus, in just three minutes, the enemy's firepower inside the factory had decreased by at least seventy percent. Li Mochen and Howard Eisenhower, working together, had not only destroyed all recoilless rifles in the main attack direction but also killed over twenty-five personnel.

After that, three specially modified Varangian armored off-road vehicles slowly drove into the factory area. Driven by powerful engines and magic, these vehicles accelerated to 120 kilometers per hour within just 50 meters. The sharp conical heads mounted on the front of the vehicles began to reveal layers of magic arrays.

At this moment, Dainien's expression was extremely serious, knowing that this was the first critical moment of their assault plan.

"Rocket launcher! Directly ahead at 82 degrees, elevation 13 degrees—"

Li Mochen significantly increased his firing rate, the Dragon's Might firing continuously at a rate of one bullet every 0.5 seconds. At the same time, a huge magic array spread out beneath Dainien, causing an arrow-shaped emblem and thorn patterns to bloom on the foreheads of all friendly magic professionals within a thirty-meter radius.

These were the high-level divine spells 'Hunting Domain' and 'Thorn Domain' that high-ranking followers of Artemis could master.

This virgin goddess was the goddess of the hunt in ancient Greece, the mistress of all beasts and the lady of the wilderness, the protector of all newborns, and the goddess of fertility and childbirth.

After Ragnarok, Artemis, as one of the Olympian gods, fortunately did not fall, but under the suppression of the Church of Light, she was suppressed for thousands of years, with only some nobles who loved hunting and people struggling with childbirth secretly worshipping her.

It was not until modern times that Artemis gradually strengthened her authority over 'beasts' and 'wilderness' into 'nature', and her followers began to recover, becoming the object of worship for many nature conservationists.

However, although her main divine office has transitioned to nature, Artemis is still the protector of the 'Magic Hunter' profession. The 'Hunting Domain' bestowed by Artemis can greatly enhance a person's observation and sensing abilities, and increase the power of all projectiles, allowing all magic hunters and magic shooters within the domain to generally increase their shooting ability by one to three tenths. The 'Thorn Domain' can protect followers from beast attacks in the forest, form a thorn armor condensed from magic that can reduce incoming attacks, and can reflect about one to three tenths of the force at close range.

At the moment these two divine domains were opened, Sampson Brut and others simultaneously opened fire without any reservation. In an instant, hundreds of gun barrels covered the factory, and twelve rockets flew out, successively hitting the outer wall of the factory, producing huge explosive sounds.

The fire cover was extremely effective. Twenty seconds later, the three armored off-road vehicles passed through the enemy's barrage unscathed and slammed their battering rams heavily onto the outer magic array!

Under everyone's gaze, countless magic patterns appeared on the outer wall of the factory and then shattered one after another! The three Varangian armored off-road vehicles, amid the roar, smashed through the already riddled concrete wall and charged fiercely inside.
