The recent gunshots confirmed that the enemy was nearby, as these veterans could tell that the two shots were from a 1911. However, after searching for a long time, they couldn't even find a trace of the enemy.
After a few minutes of stalemate, the mercenary captain could only risk giving orders, "Hunt, Robo, it's up to you two now. Be careful, a master is coming."
After more than ten seconds, two "Understood" came from the mercenary captain's earpiece.
Hunt and Robo were the two fastest assault soldiers in their squad. Everyone understood what the captain meant: to use Hunt and Robo as bait to lure the enemy into firing.
Hunt and Robo also understood the captain's intention. Without much hesitation, they crouched down and carefully observed their surroundings for more than ten seconds before saying, "I'm ready," and "Me too."
"Very good. The opponent might be an assassin, and possibly alone, otherwise they wouldn't use a 1911 to attack us at such close range. As long as we find out where the opponent is, we can take them down.
Hunt, you move towards Hunter. Robo, you move east. Mark and Stan, do you see the small hill in the distance? After Hunt and Robo move, you two move towards the small hill. It's a good vantage point for you to snipe the opponent. Everyone else, provide cover. If you find any enemy, shoot immediately. Is that clear?"
"Understood," everyone responded.
"I'll count to three, then we move. 1, 2, 3, move!"
Upon hearing the command, Hunt and Robo immediately bent down, crouched, and moved quickly. The two snipers waited for 2 seconds before immediately splitting up and running towards the distant hill.
However, after Hunt and Robo ran to the positions designated by the captain and hid, the opponent didn't fire a single shot. This made the mercenaries still in the woods feel a little scalp-tingling; the opponent didn't take their bait at all.
"This is big trouble this time," the captain cursed inwardly. The opponent must be a super master, very experienced. They didn't fall for this little trick at all. But thankfully, Mark and Stan had run out of the woods and were heading towards the small hill.
Now, they just had to wait for Mark and Stan to get into position, and then they could observe from above and find the opponent. He thought that if Mark and Stan couldn't find them on the hill either, then they would just have to retreat. Damn the mission, this time they suffered a huge loss.
William and Harry were on the small hill, and through their binoculars, they saw two people carrying large sniper rifles running towards them at high speed. "William, it seems this group of people are experts. This terrain is unfavorable for Carlos, we have to help him."
William also understood. That unassuming guy, Carlos, was definitely a super assassin. He had only seen bullets that could curve in movies. He suddenly froze, thinking, 'This guy wouldn't happen to have a son named Wesley, would he?'
If that were true, wouldn't it mean the Fraternity of Assassins also existed? "Understood," William quickly lay down under a tree root, set up his Barrett, adjusted the scope, loaded a bullet, and aimed at one of the two snipers running in an S-pattern.
Before he could adjust and fire, William saw in his scope that the sniper he was aiming at suddenly took a headshot and fell to the ground. William, instinctively, having been instilled with special gun-fighting skills by the system, immediately turned his muzzle and saw the other sniper also take a headshot and fall to the ground.
Looking at the two snipers lying on the ground, William felt a chill. This was beyond the shooting range of a short gun. The place where the two snipers fell was definitely more than 50 meters from the woods, and they fell facing William's direction. The bullets definitely came from the direction of the woods. How did Carlos do that?
Harry crawled to William's side, bent over, and patted William's shoulder, "Don't space out, William. Support Carlos. The enemy is surrounding him. I'll be your spotter."
Hearing Harry's words, William quickly adjusted his mindset, aiming his Barrett at the mercenaries who were moving towards the place where the shots had just been fired.
Harry asked, "Are you ready?"
"Okay."
Harry observed the mercenaries opposite through his binoculars and said, "Wind speed 2, distance 780 meters, blue beret, holding an AK."
William adjusted the scope on his Barrett, "Target locked."
"Steady, 770 meters, about to enter the line of sight, ready to fire at any time."
William stared at the scope, took a deep breath. He had never fired a large sniper rifle from nearly 800 meters away. He recalled the sniping knowledge and experience from the system, and after adjusting, he saw the blue beret about to appear in an open area. He gently touched the trigger.
One second later, the blue beret walked out of the woods. William steadily pulled the trigger. With a loud "bang," one second later, the blue beret was sent flying, and its owner fell to the ground, lifeless.
The mercenaries surrounding Carlos heard the sniper shot after the beret fell. They were all veterans, and upon hearing the sound, they immediately knew there was a sniper in the distance. They all dodged and found cover.
Carlos also heard the sniper shot and saw that all his opponents had hidden. He immediately understood that his helper had arrived. He crouched down, aimed his gun at a mercenary hiding behind a tree, and with a curved shot, fired a single bullet that swerved and penetrated the opponent's head.
After firing that shot, Carlos didn't check if he hit the target. He used the trees to move and reposition.
As he moved, he still heard someone in the opposing mercenary group shouting, "Cover! Cover! Hunt is down! Hunt is down!"
Soon, another voice anxiously shouted, "Spotter, where's the sniper? Who saw the sniper?"
William, on his side, couldn't find an angle because the mercenaries were all hiding. He kept moving his scope around to observe.
After a few seconds, he heard Harry say, "786 meters, 2 centimeters adjustment, muzzle lowered by one degree, behind the rock, a head exposed."
Following Harry's instructions, William quickly found a head that wasn't completely hidden behind a rock. This guy was carefully observing the hillside at a 30-degree angle to William's side.
"Haha, I see him, Harry," William adjusted his Barrett. Because William was currently on the hill, he had to lower the muzzle a bit to hit the target. William looked through the scope with his right eye, lowered the crosshairs by one degree, and steadily fired a shot at the mercenary's exposed neck.
"Bang!" In less than a second, that guy's head was gone too.
Harry, holding his binoculars, saw the target fall and said happily, "Direct hit, excellent, William! Now at 773 meters, no need to adjust, target hiding behind the third tree."
The Barrett could penetrate trees and walls within 1000 meters. After William adjusted, he steadily fired another shot. "Bang!" A guy hiding behind a tree was hit by the penetrating bullet and wood splinters, stumbled forward, and fell to the ground, howling.
Although this shot penetrated the tree, the bullet's power was greatly reduced after being obstructed by the wood, and it failed to kill him instantly. However, this mercenary probably wished for immediate death now, as he was hit by a large amount of wood splinters, covered in dense wounds, and lay on the ground, wailing incessantly. He finally died after dozens of seconds.
After William successively sniped three of their comrades and Carlos took down five, this 16-member mercenary squad had now lost half its members. The remaining 8 were terrified. The squad leader, crouching behind a large rock, kept muttering, "God, what kind of mission did I take? Two million isn't even enough for compensation. I lost, I lost big time. I have to ask the client for more money, I must ask for more money, I definitely have to ask him for more money."
Chapter 116: If You Want to Learn, I'll Teach You
Hearing their captain incessantly muttering about more money, more money, the remaining seven mercenaries were almost driven mad. One mercenary cursed, "For God's sake, what time is it now? Save your life first, then talk about your money! God, after this, I swear I'll kill our client! That guy tricked us!"
"The captain's gone mad, Robo. What do you say we do? I don't want to die here. How about we surrender?"
"Idiot, it's useless. Do you think the people opposite will let us surrender? William Devonshire is a super celebrity. Have you ever heard of him having such strong subordinates before? This trip to Roslin Church must be a highly confidential matter. To keep it a secret, he won't let us live."
Hearing this, they all fell silent. They knew what their comrade had just said was right. To survive, they either had to fight or surrender. But the two opponents were too strong, they didn't dare to charge, nor did they dare to retreat under the watchful eyes of the sharpshooters. This made the seven of them hesitate, but being distracted on the battlefield was deadly.
Carlos, with long-range support, wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. Harry, holding his binoculars, said, "Quickly reload and get ready, William. Carlos is signaling me. He's going to move up in five seconds."
William was stunned when he heard this, and quickly removed the magazine with only two bullets left, replacing it with a new one. As he reloaded, he thought about how methodical these old guys were. They knew the Barrett only held five bullets, and yet they had the presence of mind to remind him to reload in such a tense situation.
Old guys are old guys, rich in experience. William took three seconds to reload, then, after chambering a round, he vigilantly looked through his scope.
Just as he was ready, Harry said, "Get ready, Carlos is moving."
The mercenaries, who were currently discussing, never imagined that this brief moment of carelessness would cost them all their lives. Carlos only took a few seconds to stealthily approach. When he was almost there, Carlos suddenly rushed forward as if he had activated a cheat.
William watched in astonishment through his scope as Carlos, whose speed had suddenly doubled, ran left and right, firing his gun with flicks of his wrist.
Carlos, who could fire curving bullets, didn't need to directly face his opponents to shoot. He could find an opportunity to fire a fatal shot, and his opponents wouldn't even know how they were hit.
With seven shots, he took care of seven mercenaries. The opponents' carelessness meant William didn't even need to support Carlos.
William's heart burned with excitement, thinking, "I must learn the art of flick-shooting, and I must find every possible way to win over this guy, Carlos. With this super assassin by my side, there's no one I can't take down.
I hope this Carlos is the same Carlos from the movie. The Carlos in the movie stayed by his son's side for over a decade. As long as I win over his son, Wesley, I can control Carlos. Thinking about Wesley's 'loser' appearance in the movie, he should be easy to win over.
And Wesley is as fierce as his old man, even more promising, because Wesley only trained for a little over a month and was able to take down dozens, even hundreds, of assassins. Ideally, both father and son will work for me for life.
Oh, and Angelina Jolie's character, Fox, is also incredibly fierce. I'll find an opportunity to contact Fox first and make her understand that the Fraternity's father has betrayed their beliefs. Maybe William will have a chance to recruit her."
God, as long as these three guys accept his recruitment, William would give them anything they wanted. If money could solve it, he would absolutely not be stingy. If that Wesley guy had a daughter in the future, William would definitely make his son pursue that girl. This way, the Devonshire family would have a great chance to inherit the superpowers from Carlos and Wesley. Yes, that's what he'd do.
William was thinking with a burning heart when Harry suddenly slapped him on the shoulder, snapping him out of it. "What are you spacing out for, William? Carlos caught a live one. Go take a look. I'm not going. We've wasted enough time; I need to get back to the agent academy."
