A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 103 Spy Dismantling the Machine Gun: You're amazing, but you actually managed to dismantle it all?

"Enemy attack! Sniper, take cover!" Mans, with his rich experience, immediately assessed the current situation.

A mysterious third-party organization, hiding in the shadows, managed to steal the spoils of Kassel's operation at Qutang Gorge!
Being targeted by other mixed-race forces is nothing new for Cassel.

Whenever Kassel College takes action, other mixed-race factions always try to get involved and get a share of the spoils.

Therefore, when carrying out missions, Kassel often sends out several professional teams to conduct disguised mining and excavation in locations with legendary stories.

This is to attract attention and avoid being distracted from the real task.

It's not too outrageous that some powerful forces saw through the smokescreen and went directly to the Moniach; Mans could accept that.

But I absolutely cannot accept that my third mate, who has followed me on many missions, has been sniped like this!

Based on the angles at which the three officers were hit, Mans roughly calculated: "Command room! Activate naval guns for counterattack!"

"High ground to the southwest, about 300 meters away, that hill! Let that damn sniper know what it means to be bombarded by artillery fire!"

At this moment, Mans felt only relief, because due to the frequent checks by the navigation department, Moniach would not normally be able to carry a large number of shipborne weapons.

Anyone found out will be illegally detained, arrested, and imprisoned.

Unfortunately, this was the last remaining stretch of river. After much deliberation last night, Mans decided to take the risk and re-equip the ship with shipborne weapons.

If things had followed the original trajectory, when White Emperor City couldn't be found in the last few days of the river basin, Mans would have been unable to withstand the enormous risk and would have removed his equipment.

But at least for now, Moniach possesses a large amount of modern weaponry!

Under Mans’s command, the Mk-38 25mm cannons on the side of the Moniach began to rotate. These cannons were used for close-range defense against small speedboats or asymmetric threats.

Its high-frequency firing rate and saturation attack can sweep away all life on the hills and turn the land upside down.

Just as the machine gun was about to start, a series of crackling sounds rang out.

"What's going on?!" After a few seconds of silence from the machine guns, Mans snapped, "Don't worry about the consequences of firing here! The academy will handle it! Open fire!"

“No, no.” Selma’s tone was clearly flustered, as if she had seen something beyond her comprehension: “The machine gun barrels have all fallen off.”

"To reiterate, Professor, our surveillance footage shows that the cannon barrels have all detached from the mounting base!"

“???” Selma’s words left Mans speechless for several seconds, even in the midst of a critical moment.

He could understand every single word, but the sentence as a whole was incomprehensible to Mans.

The machine gun barrel has come off?
Does this mean that all six rotating metal barrels on the machine gun have fallen off?

Do you want to hear what you're saying?
Last night, after much deliberation, I decided to risk installing the weapon. It was the latest addition to my system, and it also underwent a weapon system check.

Now, Selma suddenly says, "The gun barrel came off?" How can Mans accept that?

"Damn it!" Mans cursed, not daring to say more, but he secretly believed that a spy must have infiltrated and dismantled the Moniach's cannons!
Otherwise, how could a perfectly good machine gun detach on its own? Please, that's a warship's weapon of mass destruction, not a programmer's hair; it can't just fall off like that.

But these are the kinds of things you absolutely cannot say!
Mans was on the command channel, and every word he said would be heard by everyone on the ship. If they directly suspected a spy, could they catch him immediately?

At this crucial juncture in the battle, who has the time for that?
Speaking it out will only cause panic and distrust among people, and disrupt unity!

It's better to keep it a secret for now and unite against external threats.

Susie, sniping from a distant hill, observed through her scope that the machine gun had been disabled, and her heart, which had been pounding with tension, eased slightly.

Before the operation, everyone discussed the modern weapons mounted on the Moniach. They were all good students who had received modern education, and no one dared to underestimate the destructive power of modern weaponry.

Xu Lie offered to take the initiative and said that he could handle the matter.

Surrounding Susie were traps made by Chu Zihang himself, as well as several trap rituals and magic spells built with the help of Mr. White Tower.

It could protect Susie from direct assassination, but traps and ritual magic were absolutely no match for modern weaponry. Fortunately, Mr. Error helped resolve the situation; otherwise, with machine gun fire sweeping through, Susie couldn't imagine how she would have survived.

It's incredible that the 'Dream Thief's' extraordinary abilities can affect the ship's cannons...!
Before Susie could think, her vision suddenly shifted, and the reality before her seemed to have an extra layer, creating the image of her being hit in the head by a sniper rifle.

Without a moment of surprise, Susie knew this was a glimpse of the future that could only be seen occasionally!

She was already used to this ability to suddenly see the future, and without the slightest hesitation, Susie lowered her head at the fastest speed she had ever done in her life.

Two seconds later, a burst of air rushed past overhead!
The intense air friction even made Susie's scalp feel a burning sensation. Damn it, just how outrageous have those lunatics in the equipment department optimized the sniper rifle?
"Captain! Missed!" The second mate picked up the third mate's heavy sniper rifle, fired one shot, and quickly crouched down to change positions.

Mans gestured downwards with his right hand, signaling the second mate to continue sniping, and at the same time ordered again: "I don't believe that all the weapons are malfunctioning! Activate all machine guns and missiles, fire!"

Damn it, spy! If you're so capable of dismantling a machine gun, then you're something else!

But can you dismantle all of the Monyach's shipborne weapons?
For this mission, the Moniach was armed to the teeth, with a total of eight machine guns on the left and right sides!
Not to mention it also carried anti-submarine torpedoes and various missiles.

With full firepower, they could completely raze that hill to the ground.

The remaining three machine guns on the starboard side began to twist, turning towards the hill, but... as they twisted, the gun barrels fell off; the Mk-45's 127mm caliber gun barrels also detached.

At the same time, a frantic report came from the command center: "Professor! The missile launch system has malfunctioned! Norma's diagnostics say there's a missing or damaged circuit! Launch is impossible!"

The gun barrels slammed into the hull of the Moniach, causing a huge noise and a slight jolt. It was more like a direct hit to Professor Mans' heart, nearly giving the burly professor a heart attack!

Damn, is this something a spy could pull off?

You really managed to dismantle all of the Monyach's shipboard weapons all by yourself?

How could a single spy manage to conceal such a massive workload from everyone else?
Only a crew of spies, besides Tamans, could have accomplished this, right?

On the riverbank, Xu Lie's clone found it amusing that stealing a machine gun barrel and then returning it could cause this magical detachment phenomenon.

If used well, the ability to steal can be so disgusting that it can drive enemies crazy; it's just too dirty.

Of course, such a carefree act of standing on the shore and constantly reaching out to grab the Moniah would naturally attract the attention of the executive department's elites.

Not every elite member of the Executive Department is good at sniping. Three of them secretly changed locations and went into the water with knives in Xu Lie's blind spot.

He swam underwater, reached the shore, and suddenly attacked Xu Lie.

Xu Lie's clone also possesses spiritual intuition; how could it be ambushed?
After taking two steps back, the elite members of the Kassel Executive Department swam up from the water and realized that Xu Lie had distanced himself from them.

Not only that, but two strange guys appeared in front of Xu Lie. One had a KFC paper bag over his head, and the other wore a Sun Wukong mask that children like.

"Sorry! This road is closed!" The KFC paper bag is quite lively, saying a witty remark before it even starts cutting.

The one wearing the Sun Wukong mask was extremely cold and indifferent, wielding a standard-issue longsword he'd somehow acquired, and he would slash at anyone he saw.

"Qiang! Qiang!"

As the blades clashed, the elite member of the execution department who was the first to retaliate felt a sharp pain in his hand and a bitter feeling in his heart. What kind of monsters are these?

Strength, speed, and reaction time were completely overwhelmed; they were no match for him.

The elite members of the execution department also acted directly, fighting Chu Zihang while quickly requesting support through their headsets.

Chu Zihang remained expressionless, using the longsword as if it were his usual Japanese sword, employing various diagonal slashes and kasaya slashes, causing his opponent to retreat steadily.

In other words, he was unfamiliar with this weapon. If he were to switch to Murasame, which he had mastered for many years, Chu Zihang was confident that he could defeat his opponent within three rounds.

It's just that Murasame's sword isn't suitable for fighting against Cassel; after all, it's Chu Zihang's signature weapon.
