Chapter 2826

The aboriginal background is not prominent among the southern military officers. After all, Magny has joined the Continental Army for almost ten years. boundaries of color and ethnicity.

However, the Continental Army was mixed, officers and soldiers came from all corners of the country, and the antagonism between the North and the South was still very serious. The relationship between the white colonists in the north and the native yellow races in the south was even more difficult.

Because of these two inherent shortcomings, Magni can only be used as a sharp knife in Vasa's hands, but he cannot bear the heavy responsibility of presiding over the overall situation.

Vassar was worried about the juncture that no one would be available, and when he received Laval's deeply introspective "repentance letter", one can imagine the relief and excitement in his heart.

Benedict Laval was the "No. 1 general in the New World" personally identified by Marshal Sigmont, the "God of the Empire".

Now, in such a desperate situation, who else can lead the Continental Army to fight a beautiful battle where the weak defeat the strong?

Vasa asked herself that it couldn't be done.

But he knew that the most promising general under his command to create this reversal miracle was Benedict Laval alone!

Knowing this clearly, George Vassar cherished Laval's talents and longed for his sincere assistance.

In addition, when Laval and Gates had a dispute, Vassar, out of consideration for the overall situation, failed to stand up and help Laval win the honor he deserves. He still feels guilty from time to time, feeling that he owes Laval.

Under the combined effect of the above-mentioned factors, George Vassar wrote back to Laval overnight, accepted his invitation, and agreed to visit his house tomorrow afternoon.

From the headquarters of the Continental Army to the hermit town of West Point in Laval, the distance is about 70 miles, and it is necessary to cross a mountain trail winding between valleys and hills.

In midsummer, the vegetation is flourishing, and there are many branches and vines blocking the road, so the speed of riding in the mountains cannot be fast.

George Vassar took two trusted adjutants, Dick Tyndale and Roger Tyndale, both brothers majors of cavalry, plus sixteen guards, a party of nineteen rode from the headquarters at two o'clock in the afternoon , spent three hours on the road, and arrived at the outskirts of West Point Town when the sun was setting, but I didn't know that I had fallen into a well-woven trap.

...

Patrick Ferguson heard the neighing of a horse from the other side of the col, his muscles and nerves immediately tensed up, and he moved closer to the scope of his rifle, squinting his eyes.

Looking through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the bushes, looking at the mountain road thousands of yards away, there was indeed a group of cavalry in blue uniforms on horseback. The tall man riding the snow-white horse was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, George Vaser.

Colonel Ferguson sneered silently, took out a black bullet infused with magic power, put it in his mouth and bit it lightly, then skillfully loaded it into the magazine, aiming the gun at the seemingly defenseless commander-in-chief riding a white horse Your Mightiness.

Ferguson's title of "shooter king" was not blown out. He has carried out countless sniper missions in the past, as long as the target comes within the range of his rifle, it is equivalent to a noose around the neck, and he is doomed to escape.

In order to ensure that the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army was killed with one shot, Ferguson specially prepared triple "insurance".

The first is the quasi-legendary sniper rifle named "Southern Cross" in his hand, which can activate "Mythical Strike Strike" three times a day. After activation, the next bullet fired will automatically penetrate all types of damage reduction shields. Armor and spell resistance, must hit the target, and add 6 energy levels of damage.

The bullets of the large-caliber sniper rifle, together with the level 5 enchantment effect, have a lethality of nearly 6 energy levels, including the increase of "Mythical Strike Fighter", the total basic lethality is nearly 12 energy levels, and hits the vital damage Adding three times more, basically no mortal can bear it.

The second insurance comes from Ferguson's "magic shooter" professional ability.

The advanced profession "Magic Archer" is upgraded to level 10, and can create a special enchanted bullet called "Reaper Bullet" every day. The moment it hits the target, it releases the negative energy infused in the bullet body, which is equivalent to adding one shot to kill Magic, the effect is similar to "Finger of Death", the target cannot bear the erosion of negative energy and is killed immediately.

If the "Reaper Bullet" blessed with "Mythical Strike Strike" can't kill the target, then there is the last insurance, which is the poison that is temporarily quenched before the bullet enters the chamber.

When did Ferguson get poisoned by bullets?

Just now he seemingly inadvertently bit the warhead, this small action was actually quenching the poison.

Patrick Ferguson and his partner, John Andre, were both born in aristocratic families of the "Brotherhood of Our Lady", an underground church that worships Echidna. They inherited Ekadna's strange lineage and "Holy Seal" from their parents.

Ferguson's family has inherited the "seal of fangs" from generation to generation, so he was born with two fangs.

Thanks to this innate gift, Ferguson himself is immune to all toxin damage. With the evolution of the "Holy Seal" to an advanced stage, he can also spray venom that turns human flesh and blood into rocks, but unfortunately the range is not far enough.

In order to extend the range of the venom, Ferguson ingeniously developed a technique of using the "Poison Fang Seal" to poison the rifle bullets. After the poisoned bullet hits the target, it can also cause a petrification effect.

The brief contact between the poisonous fang and the bullet can only quench a small amount of toxin, so the poison quenching effect lasts at most ten minutes, after which the toxin will decompose and lose its effect.

In addition, the concentration of the toxin on the surface of the bullet is not as high as that of direct injection of venom. Although it can slowly petrify the victim, it will take longer to complete the petrification of the whole body than direct injection of venom.

With this triple insurance, Ferguson is confident that he can kill George Vasa, the leader of the rebel party, with one shot.

The index finger of his right hand pressed the trigger of the rifle, and the moment he was about to shoot, he received a reminder from John Andre via "psychic connection".

"Dude, George Vasa seems to have a 'trigger technique' blessed, you have to be careful! Also, try to catch alive!"

Ferguson frowned slightly, and stretched the fingers holding the trigger.

Andre's reminder came just in time.

Commander-in-Chief of the Great Continental Army, of course he should take precautions when going out. If he is really blessed with a "trigger technique" as Andre guessed, then it must be linked with some kind of protective magic. If he shoots here, Vasa will The protective magic on the body is automatically activated, and even with the blessing of "Mythical Strike the Enemy", it may not be able to penetrate the protection.

In addition, Andre said that it is best to capture the living. Although Ferguson felt that this was too troublesome, he had to admit that this was reasonable. The commander-in-chief of the Continental Army was of course more valuable than a corpse as a prisoner of war.
