Chapter 357 The end of the outpost is just the beginning
The feat of shooting down the helicopter with one shot not only boosted the morale of the Prophet's remnants, but also put a stop to Holy Trinity's rappelling tactics.
The remaining ec275 helicopter was afraid that it would become the next target, so it did not dare to continue hanging slowly in the air. It immediately retracted the rope and flew towards the hillside, hoping to find the mysterious sniper.
However, when the helicopter arrived over the sniper point, it was discovered that they had missed the target.
How could Lu Qi not keep this basic sniper common sense in mind: shoot once and move to another place?
At this time, he had already penetrated into the forest below, carrying an m200 sniper rifle, and headed for another sniper point...
While Lu Qi was dealing with local helicopters, the battle in the valley had entered a fever pitch.
Without air support, the Holy Trinity ground troops that invaded the valley did not have much advantage in numbers and tactics.
Not only that, because they were unfamiliar with the terrain, the Holy Trinity soldiers who entered the forest encountered various traps that were difficult to guard against.
Before the war actually started, there were some attrition.
When they actually arrived at the defense line, they were greeted by a large army of survivors headed by "Tomb Goddess of War" Laura!
Taking advantage of the thick smoke filling the valley, the Prophet's remnants adopted a guerrilla warfare method, splitting into small teams and attacking the enemy from all directions.
And Laura is like a free man on the battlefield.
The slender figure is everywhere on the battlefield. Wherever her help is needed, she will arrive quickly and deal a heavy blow to the enemy.
Perhaps because she felt very disdainful of what Holy Trinity had done, Laura started to attack without hesitation, killing with arrows and shooting in the head with gunshots!
With Laura, the goddess of war, controlling the battlefield, the Holy Trinity troops are no match for the Prophet's remnants. They can die or escape.
Just as Laura was leading the remaining soldiers to pursue the defeated soldiers, good news came from Lu Qi.
After waiting for the [Bullet Time] skill to cool down, Lu Qi immediately found a suitable position and sniped at another helicopter that was constantly searching for him.
Along with several gunshots that resounded throughout the valley, the two pilots in the helicopter cockpit were instantly killed by Lu Qi!
The entire out-of-control helicopter, like a kite with its string cut off, spun and crashed into the bare mountain ridge.
There was only a "boom" sound, and the helicopter made close contact with the ridge, and suddenly turned into a ball of fire!
At this point, the invasion outpost launched by the Holy Trinity has finally come to an end.
However, both Jacob, Laura and Lu Qi understand very well that this battle is just the beginning...
...
A labor camp, inside a small church.
The commander of the Holy Trinity, Constantine, was standing in front of the pulpit, closing his eyes tightly and spreading his arms, as if he was communicating with the God he believed in.
At the same time, he is also waiting for the outcome of the battle on the other side of the mountain...
Following the noise of electricity, the intercom on his waist suddenly sounded the voice of his subordinate:
"Sir, we encountered strong resistance from the locals, and Crawford is with them..."
"The other side was prepared. We lost many people, including two helicopters..."
"The other side also has a sniper with terrible marksmanship..."
A series of bad news reached Constantine's ears, causing his inner anger to rise instantly.
"ah!"
With an angry shout, Constantine's eyes sharpened, he suddenly grabbed a low table in front of him and threw it against the wall!
"We should have killed her! And that Asian guy!!"
Hearing this, Anna, who was sitting on a bench, stood up and walked towards:
"Your efforts are completely in vain. Maybe she can accomplish what you failed to accomplish..."
Before Anna could finish speaking, Constantine, who was furious, turned around suddenly, looked at his sister, and said word by word:
"I will not fail!"
"If you fail, the Holy Trinity will step in, and you know what that means..."
"They don't care about my life or death, I need the power of the sacred source!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Anna bent over and coughed violently again.
"Cough cough cough..."
This time, her palms had a touch of bright red.
Seeing this, Constantine frowned, took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, and carefully wiped the blood from the corners of his sister's mouth and palms.
Then, he pressed his shoulders with both hands, looked into those dim eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"You will have that power, Anna, don't lose faith. This is God's will, and we will succeed!"
"Please, find it quickly, I don't have much time..."
Looking at his sister's eyes, which were full of fear of death, Constantine looked solemn and murmured extremely seriously:
"I will, I will..."
...
This outpost battle ended with the victory of the Prophet's remnants.
In this small-scale war, Holy Trinity's effective forces were eliminated, and two helicopters that were a huge threat were eliminated. It would be impossible for Holy Trinity to organize a powerful offensive again, at least in a short period of time.
Although the Holy Trinity was temporarily defeated, the losses suffered by the Prophet's remnants were not small.
When the thick smoke dissipated, the flames in the forest were finally extinguished. The entire defensive front was burned to pieces.
The entire valley was filled with a burning smell.
When Lu Qi returned to the valley, he couldn't help but stare at the mess in front of him.
Just as he was looking around, seemingly looking for something, a joyful voice came from behind:
"Lu Qi!"
Turning around suddenly, what came into view was a pretty face like a flower.
It's Laura!
"Laura! Are you okay?"
Shaking her head, Laura then looked up and down Lu Qi's body, and then asked: "What about you? Are you injured?"
"I'm fine too..."
"That's good, let's go see what Jacob needs our help..."
In a intact wooden house, the two found Jacob, who was directing his men to clean up the battlefield.
Seeing Lu Qi and Laura, Jacob's eyes lit up, he opened his arms and came forward:
"Great, you are all fine!"
"How's it going?"
"We lost five people, and seven or eight others were injured to varying degrees..."
Hearing this, Laura took a step forward and spoke softly:
"I'm sorry, your people don't deserve this..."
"This is not your fault, this is our choice and our responsibility...Besides, if it weren't for your help, we might have lost more..."
"I understand this feeling of losing a loved one. Holy Trinity will not let it go, right?"
Shaking his head, Jacob frowned and said with certainty:
Chapter completed!
