The reason P5092 said the two snipers were very powerful was because these two seemingly simple shots were not that simple.
First of all, the frontline commander said they could not determine the snipers' location. However, they had cast a very wide net during their carpet search. If so many people could not determine the snipers' location, then the snipers would have to be at least 900 meters away.
Not just anyone could hit the barbarians' chests with two shots from 900 meters away and kill them in one shot.
As a matter of fact, the two barbarians had been hiding all this while. From the moment they appeared to the moment they swung their axes down, only a second had passed. But after the snipers discovered the barbarians had appeared, they had to immediately calculate the trajectory of the bullets!
Then, while the barbarians were falling, the snipers had to pull the trigger to make the bullets travel across the sky and land accurately on the barbarians' chests.
The frontline commander asked on the radio, "Sir, should we go after those two snipers?"
P5092 thought for a moment and said, "Search for the barbarians nearby first. Be careful. These people might look like they're bulky and simple-minded, but they're actually very cunning and like to set up ambushes in the dark. As for the snipers, at least they seem to have the same target as us for now. We can look for them after the search is over. "
It was not that they did not want to look for them, but that they had to prioritize.
Moreover, they were facing a formidable enemy. Since the goal of both sides was to kill the barbarians, the Pyro Company would naturally not treat them as enemies. Even if they found the barbarians, they would hope they could join the Pyro Company and Qinghe Group on the same front instead of killing the two snipers.
The entirety of Mt. Dashi was currently divided into 39 regions on the map. What P5092 needed to do was search through these 39 regions one by one. They had only reached Region 12 today when they encountered the barbarians. Based on the previous battles, there were at least 400 more barbarians hiding in Mt. Dashi.
P5092 was not bothered by this. The dozens of platoons were just the reconnaissance troops he had sent ahead. Once they encountered a large number of barbarians, he would immediately deploy all of his troops to the battlefield and complete their encirclement.
However, after the entire Region 12 was searched, the dozens of platoons at the frontline did not find any more barbarians. It looked like it would still take several days or even half a month to clean up the entirety of Mt. Dashi.
"Sir, what should we do now?" the frontline commander asked.
P5092 said calmly, "Go and look for those two snipers now. At the very least, we have to find out where they were shooting from. I need to determine their strength."
The snipers must have already left. No snipers would foolishly stay in the same place after firing. However, as long as they could find the position of the snipers' shots, they would be able to confirm how far away they were from the snipers.
In the end, it was not until evening that a platoon finally found clues about the two snipers in Area 13.
P5092 frowned. It was no wonder he could not find the two snipers. So it turned out they had targeted the target in Zone 12 from Zone 13.
He took a pen and recorded the location of the snipers on the map, then measured the distance between the snipers and the barbarians. He was shocked to find that the distance between the two snipers and the target was already about 1,200 meters!
It was even further than the 900 meters he had imagined!
"1,200 meters. Even among snipers, that's an extremely outstanding distance. Why did two of them suddenly appear in Mt. Dashi?" P5092 lowered his head in thought. He looked at his deputy commander and said, "Is there any recent intelligence on the joint operation of these two snipers? Since they're so powerful, they must be quite famous."
The deputy commander said, "I'll submit your request to the intelligence department and get them to compare the suspects. However, this will take some time, so we might not get the results we want."
"Alright." P5092 nodded. "Think carefully too. Are there any more famous snipers recently? I know of a group with a particularly powerful sniper, but they only have one sniper."
The deputy commander wondered, "Are you talking about White Mask's operator?"
"Yes, it's those two," P5092 said.
They shouted on the radio, "Sir, we've found a suspicious location. There are signs of someone lying prone in the weeds here."
After that, all of the reconnaissance platoons started gathering in the 11 o 'clock direction. They started another blanket search of the area within a kilometer of the location where they had found the clues.
P5092 waited quietly in the command vehicle to see if they had discovered anything. However, he did not have much hope. After all, more than four hours had passed since the two snipers fired their shots.
But at this moment, a cry of surprise came from the radio. "There are actually two barbarian corpses here!"
P5092 was stunned. "What's the exact situation?"
The frontline commander had already rushed to the hiding place. The two barbarian corpses were only simply covered with tree branches, so they were easily discovered.
"It's not a gunshot wound." A rough autopsy report came from the frontline. "Of the two barbarians, one of them had his neck pierced by a sharp weapon. I don't know how sharp the weapon was, but it actually broke his spine in his neck. The other barbarian's wound was a cut on his chest and a hole in his heart. His left arm was severed."
"I suspect that the barbarian who had his neck pierced was ambushed. The other barbarian who came with him wanted to kill the enemy, but he was caught off guard. The other barbarian cut off his left arm and slashed across his chest. Then the perpetrator retracted the blade and stabbed it straight into the barbarian's heart. End of report. "
There was still the sound of static on the radio. After listening to the simple autopsy report, P5092 fell silent. He could even imagine the scene of the blade and blood splattering through these simple words. He could also imagine how ruthless the killer must have been.
The blade cut through the barbarian's arm muscles and then cut through his hard bones. The barbarian's shocked gaze was reflected in the severed arm. The killer's blade swept across the barbarian's chest and then retracted it to deliver a fatal blow. It was all done in one go.
But P5092 could not figure it out. He had thought there were only two snipers, so why would there suddenly be an expert who was so fierce in close combat?
Could it be that the snipers had other comrades? Or were these two snipers very fierce to begin with?
Speaking of which, P5092 was still worried that it would be dangerous for the two snipers to encounter the barbarians at close range. But from the looks of it now, the barbarians were the ones who were in danger.
"Let's call it a day." P5092 said, "Set up camp tonight and be on Level 1 alert to prevent a night attack by the barbarians."
After that, he turned off the radio in his hand. His deputy commander next to him asked, "Sir, will those two snipers become a threat to us?"
P5092 shook his head. "Don't think too much about it. Those who can appear here to help us repel the enemy are all friends. As for whether we'll still be friends in the future, we'll have to wait until the war is over to decide."
