In the eyepiece of the scope, Grum saw the figure of Yerkes.

As the intelligence shows, the future earl loves horseback riding, unless the weather is very bad or the situation forces him, he will definitely choose horseback riding instead of riding in a carriage when traveling.

Now that the devil has disappeared for nearly a month, the noise caused by the Earl's murder has been greatly eased, and Yerkes need not worry about the threat of the devil.

In addition, at this moment there is a team of more than 30 members of the Knights, including 8 Awakeners, such a powerful armed force, even if it encounters a sudden attack by an extraordinary person, it is enough to resist for a while. Moment, buy a certain escape time for Yekes.

The rumbling sound of horseshoes reverberated on the muddy road, shaking the branches and leaves of the bushes on the side of the road trembling slightly.

Seeing the target approaching the shooting range, Grumm covered in leaves stretched out his right hand, slightly adjusted the magnification of the scope, and then made a gesture to the observer with a telescope beside him, and gestured to him. Pay attention to the surrounding environment.

Gurum looked recklessly at the barrels of the knights, not caring about the spirit of the awakened and alarmed.

In the previous shooting training, the Island Guard team found that the awakened person's spiritual awareness warning range has a certain limit. According to the strength of the mana level, this range is generally within 200-500 meters.

Only the more powerful transcendents will have a spiritual range of more than 1 kilometer.

And the squad led by Grumm is performing a long-range sniper mission. Their ambush position is more than 700 meters away from the road, which has long exceeded the spiritual perception limit of the awakened.

As the sound of the horse's hoof became clearer, Gurum couldn't help but let go of his breath, sliding his right index finger into the trigger, ready to shoot.

According to the pre-arranged plan, Grum is the sniper in the first sequence, and Geoffrey and Louis are in the second and third sequences respectively.

Grum's marksmanship is the most accurate. His task is to shoot at non-lethal parts of Yerkes, such as the limbs, but try to avoid killing him.

However, this kind of shooting is very difficult and extremely challenging. It is very difficult to hit the enemy at a distance of 1 kilometer, let alone shooting a specific part.

If Grumm misses, then Jeffrey and Louis will be responsible for helping fill the guns, and the three will attack Yex at the same time, regardless of life or death.

With the large caliber of a sniper rifle, as long as it hits, Yerkes must be dead or disabled, and the probability of minor injuries is extremely small, unless the bullet happens to pass his body.

Grum took a deep breath, his right eye pressed close to the scope, his mind concentrated.

At this time, a strange phenomenon occurred.

In Grum's eyes, the movements of Yerkes and his hips turned into slow motion.

Every time the horses of Gundam threw their hoofs and every movement of their muscles, it suddenly became a slow motion frame after frame. Gulum could see clearly, every ups and downs of Jerkes’s body, every time he raised his hand, every time Standing tall, he could see clearly.

This is exactly the special talent of Gollum, "high-speed dynamic vision".

It is precisely because of this talent that he was appointed as the first-order sniper, shouldering the most important task.

After two breaths, Grum adjusted the sniper rifle to a slight angle, circled Yerkes into his field of vision with the scope, counted silently in his heart, and decisively pulled the trigger.

"hiss……"

The sound of howling broke the silence, and a large-caliber sniper bullet burst out of the barrel like lightning and flew towards Yekes.

Thanks to the muffler used by Renault himself, the low noise of the magic sniper rifle, and the blocking of the surrounding bushes, the sound pressure level generated by this gunshot is not high.

Only within a radius of more than 200 meters can be heard relatively clearly, the sound heard within a radius of more than 500 meters is already very slight, and the knights on the road in the distance can hardly hear the gunshots.

Only a knight with abnormal hearing noticed the abnormality, and he turned his head around with some doubts, intending to observe the distance.

When Gollum was shooting, Yekes was sitting in the delicate saddle, frowning and thinking about something.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that his right thigh seemed to be hit hard by something. The next moment, a heart-wrenching pain was transmitted to the brain, which made him almost shut his breath.

Before Yekes could react, he heard a huge scream from the horse under him, and then the horse's running speed dropped sharply. Due to inertia, he flew out like clouds and mist, and fell heavily into the mud.

Before his consciousness was swallowed by the darkness, Yekes was horrified to find that he didn't seem to feel the presence of his right leg...

From Grum's perspective, after he shot, a powerful bullet accurately hit Yerkes' thigh and directly broke it in two.

Then the bullet seemed to burrow into the horse's belly, damaging Yerkes' beloved horse.

Yekes' broken thigh fell straight into the mud, blood spurted out, and blood soon stained the ground.

This sudden change caused Yekes' entourage to become a mess, and the road was immediately full of roars and horses.

Grumm smiled with great satisfaction, and after confirming the result through the scope again, he whispered to the observer, and the two quickly evacuated.

This time, the completion of the mission was so smooth that Grumm was quite surprised.

In the previous simulation exercise, he could only hit 4 targets for every 10 snipers, and the success rate was less than half. However, he did not expect that in the actual mission, he could hit Yerkes’ thigh with a single shot, which was perfect. Mission requirements.

There is a reason why he prefers to "kill" Yerkes instead of "kill" him.

If Yerkes dies, then the inheritance of the earl title will fall to the other three brothers of Yerkes. This event is likely to alarm the royal family of the Thousand Households Kingdom.

According to the tradition of the kingdom, if the heir dies accidentally, the kingdom is obliged to investigate. After all, for the nobles of earls and above, the lord can only be the king.

In addition, the royal family also has the right to interfere with the right to inherit the title, because in this special case, the right of inheritance is not extended according to age. Among the remaining descendants of the earl, everyone may become the next earl of Eriksson, the final ownership of the title. It will be discussed and decided by relevant parties.

This gave the royal family room to profit from it. Whoever wants to be an earl should give money to labor and capital!

Whoever sends more, labor and management will support whoever!

This is great news for the royal family, but for Renault, it is out-and-out bad news. He didn't want too many outside forces to intervene before he took full control of the Earl of Eriksson.

Therefore, Renault needs a heir to the earl who is "dead but not dead".

After running through the bushes for a while, Gurum took a small object from his arms and threw it on the ground. Then he speeded up and quickly disappeared among the dense foliage.

Three hours later, after an emergency treatment, Jerks, who was awake from a coma, looked at a ring inlaid with gemstones in front of him, his face instantly turned pale.

This ring is exactly the ring that the Knights found near the attack site when they searched for the attacker.

Yekes recognized it at a glance. It was the property of Sir Eriksson Jr.

"Kaku Eriksson..." He muttered the name of Sir Eriksson Jr., his eyes could not help showing unforgettable hatred.

In addition to hatred, there was a little doubt in his heart.

In the fire that destroyed most of the manor, didn't Jr. Erickson disappeared?

Could it be that he was just arguing about it? He didn't actually die, just wanted to get out of this?

Probably!

What kind of weapon did you hurt yourself? How did Little Eriksson obtain this terrible weapon?

What makes Yekes more frightened is that if young Eriksson launches another attack, can he still escape?

Thinking of this, Jerkes' body trembled, and he yelled without thinking:

"Come on, as the heir of Earl Eriksson, I want to post a reward. If anyone can catch little Eriksson, he will receive 800 Kinnar rewards..."
