North of the Western Region, on the Fertile Plains.
Under the guidance of Sylvie, the sniper team soon arrived at their shooting position — a small forest far away from the First Army.
A five-kilometer shooting range was not safe. Under good weather and with no cover, the Devilbeasts could still discover the First Army.
After all, when a team of thousands of soldiers was moving, even if they were more than ten kilometers away, they would still be a relatively conspicuous target.
Therefore, the Adviser Department's plan was to intercept them, pause the march, and hide on the spot.
On the one hand, they would take advantage of the high mobility of the witches — the Sky Group, composed of Lightning and Maggie, and the Ark Group, with Maggie as the core, to take the initiative to kill the enemies from a safe distance and mislead them. On the other hand, each participant was given a special camouflage uniform called "Jungle Camouflage", which was not only dyed with strange colors, but also made of unusual materials.
The Sky Group gave the latter a high evaluation. According to the two little girls, once they stopped moving, it was almost impossible to distinguish the wearer's silhouette from the sky, as if they had disappeared into thin air.
Now, Andrea was wearing the same uniform.
But she did not like it.
The straight sleeves and trousers had no sense of design to speak of, and the twisted brownish-green spots were more like graffiti that had been casually smeared on. Not only that, but the material felt as stiff as tree bark. If not for the special lining made by Soroya, the skin would have been worn off. No matter the body shape, they looked the same after wearing it. Andrea did not know where His Majesty found the cloth to make the clothes so rough.
Of course, although she had some complaints in her heart, she would not say it out loud. Apart from the reason that nobles should maintain their elegance no matter what happened, Ashes would certainly not let go of the opportunity to laugh at her.
What a weak and inexperienced young lady, and the trip to the Kingdom of Dawn had made you return to your original form. Andrea could easily guess a few words, and she could even simulate the tone in her mind.
Obviously, she had made a great contribution to the attack on the Kingdom of Dawn, but Ashes was idling around Lady Tilly...
"The demons are 30 kilometers away from us. We can get ready." Sylvie's voice interrupted her thoughts. "Let's go up now."
"Yes, the ark is rising. The barrier will be lifted in five seconds. Everyone, please prepare for impact," Maggie replied.
"Oh, that's the tone!" Lightning clenched her fist. "It sounds very professional — you learn fast."
"Is that so … thank you." Maggie touched her head shyly. She had probably never received such praise when she was in the church.
Andrea, on the other hand, couldn't help but hold her forehead. How was such a blunt way of speaking professional? They were also prepared for the impact. As the ability was dispelled, everyone swayed a little due to the inertia. Then, they landed firmly on the ground. Forget it, this level of vibration was not even as good as Ashes's roar.
"Next, it's the flight team's turn." Lightning gave everyone a thumbs-up, pulled down her goggles, and jumped up. "The runway is clear. All green lights are on. Lightning, let's go!"
"Maggie, follow, coo!" Maggie also transformed into a goshawk and followed closely behind. Soon, the two disappeared into the clouds.
"What's a runway? Is it a special road for running? "Amy looked around in confusion." Where's the green light? "
"Maybe it's a new training method?" Phyllis, the protector, tilted her head and said, "I once heard His Majesty say the same words in the castle. It seems to be a term specially prepared for flight training. But the strange thing is, at that time, besides these two little guys, there were also Wendy and Lady Anna who listened to his lecture. "
"Huh? Can other people also learn to fly? "
"I'm not sure about that."
"If I can learn, what should I say?" Amy touched her chin and said. "Hmm … Amy, magic supplement?"
"That's a novel word." Sharon's eyes lit up. "Help me think of one!"
"Hey, don't disturb Miss Sylvie's observation," Phyllis said with a smile.
"Got it!"
Looking at this scene, Andrea could not help but sigh. According to the plan, once the operation started, they would be farther and farther away from the main force in the next week and try to pull the demons' investigation center to the northwest. In other words, they would be alone in the enemy's territory. No matter what kind of enemies they encountered, they could only rely on their own strength to avoid or defeat them.
"The whole sniper team is obviously going to face a difficult battle full of dangers. Why is the atmosphere so lively?"
Suddenly, someone patted her on the shoulder. Andrea turned around and saw Iffy giving her an "I know you" look.
She could not help but feel a great comfort.
"That's right, there's no other way … Since long-distance sniping requires a lot of magic power, in addition to the necessary combat personnel, the team also needs to bring many assistant witches to ensure the effectiveness of continuous firing. Idlers like Amy and Sharon are undoubtedly the best choice."
Compared to the great nobles who were well-versed in the ways of the world, she still lacked a sense of composure. For example, Countess Spear almost never spoke.
"Let's get started." Andrea took a deep breath. "The demons should be here soon —"
"Wait a minute …" Spear suddenly said in a low voice, "I'm old and a little seasick …"
She was suddenly speechless.
Fortunately, it did not take much time to assemble the anti-Devilbeast sniper rifle. To reduce the installation process as much as possible, His Majesty only disassembled the weapon into two parts, the gun body and the frame, which were carried by Ashes and Phyllis respectively.
Andrea finished the shooting preparation in the shortest time possible. Compared with the bolt rifle before, this sniper rifle without a scope was easier to operate. After pushing a special bullet as long as a palm into the barrel, she nodded to Chief Steward Camilla Dary.
Camilla closed her eyes and reached out her hands to Sylvie and Andrea.
All of a sudden, the scene in her field of vision began to fluctuate, and the outline of everything seemed to overlap. Andrea could not tell whether her soul was being pulled out of her body or being squeezed in by another soul. This weird intertwining made her slightly dizzy. However, after repeated training, she was able to control herself to ignore this slight discomfort and focus her attention on something further away.
Sylvie instantly sensed her thoughts.
Her field of vision zoomed out, or rather, directly changed. The surrounding woods and grass disappeared without a trace, leaving only a sea of white clouds.
