Chapter 139 Explosion
Ricardo opened the lead box. There were six special bullets in the box. Because they were used for heavy sniper rifles like the Barrett, these bullets had large calibers.
Although these bullets are radioactive, short-term exposure would have little effect even on ordinary soldiers.
But if you have to carry it with you every day, there will definitely be radioactive damage.
Ricardo read out the name of the bullet: "Depleted uranium armor-piercing bullet."
This is a discarding-casing armor-piercing bullet with an aluminum alloy bullet holder and an armor-piercing core with a tail fin and a long rod. It can penetrate tens of millimeters of steel armor.
This kind of bullet is a special sample bullet produced by North American arms dealers. The price-performance ratio is not particularly good, so this kind of sample was eventually sold to the arms market in conjunction with this heavy sniper rifle.
The reason for the poor cost performance was that during the transaction, Ricardo heard from Joelson's subordinates that for the same purpose, customers often choose tungsten core armor-piercing bullets.
Compared with tungsten core armor-piercing bullets, this type of depleted uranium armor-piercing bullet has a narrower use scenario.
The current main use is to allow ace snipers to penetrate bulletproof vehicles where important targets are located at medium distances on the African battlefield, but there are many restrictions.
But for Ricardo, depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets were just right.
Depleted uranium has properties such as high density, high hardness, and high toughness. It is also self-sharpening when piercing armor. In addition, depleted uranium also has a combustion effect. After piercing armor, it can produce a large amount of cloud-like depleted uranium powder. The high temperature generated by the impact will cause an explosion. , not only radioactive damage, but also explosion and burning damage.
Ricardo could imagine that such a shot was fired from the barrel of Barrett's gun and hit the body of the great knight... No, even if the opponent was promoted to a legendary knight, he would probably not be able to bear it.
...
After checking all the equipment, Ricardo, wearing a snow camouflage uniform, approached Frostwind Collar.
He had seen Frostwind Castle in the distance.
It has to be said that Viscount Frostwind is overconfident. Generally, the lord's castle is located on the edge of the town, and a moat will be set up to protect the castle.
Some castles are not on the edge of the town, but are either on the top of a mountain or on the edge of a cliff, so the location of the castle will be fully considered for defense.
Frostwind Castle, on the other hand, went in the opposite direction, leaning directly on the edge of the Panxue Mountains.
Many of its castle extension buildings go up to the slopes of the Panxue Mountains, and they seem to have hollowed out certain parts of the slopes.
Around the castle, that is, in the mountains and forests on both sides, and on the top of the hillside, Frostwind Leader arranged sentinel posts.
In addition, there are baronies loyal to Viscount Frostwind on both sides of the Frostwind Territory. These baronies have military camps near the territory's borders.
It is this kind of protection that can prevent a small army from rushing over.
For a lone ranger like Ricardo, who was wearing a snow camouflage uniform, it was easy to advance through the mountains and forests and approach Frostwind Castle.
Of course, perhaps it was because Viscount Frostwind was overconfident in his own strength and that of the castle. Perhaps from the other party's perspective, if an assassin were to attack and enter the castle, he would definitely be bloodied on the spot or come back defeated.
In addition, there are important inheritance tombs hidden on the hillside behind the castle, so the permanent castle had to be built here.
We have arrived at the woods closest to Frostwind Castle.
Outside the woods, to the Panxue Mountains in the distance, there is snow from the Panxue Mountains.
Ricardo took out the beetle he had used to detect the terrain.
Then first explore the terrain around it and then automatically generate a map.
Ricardo was very patient.
When he was in the Wizarding Continent, it was not like he had never experienced tasks that took ten days and a half to complete.
This time, it wouldn't be a big deal if he took a few more days to get his revenge.
It took a long time, and combined with the map of Pansen County provided by Lorient, Ricardo got a more detailed map.
Then he installed a thermal imaging camera on the Beetle to monitor the guards around the castle, the situation in the castle extension building, etc., and started investigating and recording again.
"The extended building behind the castle is indeed deep into the hillside. There is a cave inside the hillside!"
Ricardo looked at the thermal imaging records.
He had already determined that there was a huge tomb connected behind the extended building, and there were not many people in the tomb.
Judging from the thermal imaging, there is usually only a group of guards patrolling, and Viscount Frostwind and a few of his confidants will go there for activities.
Ricardo kept paying attention to individual guards, and finally confirmed them when they were leaving the castle.
It was a unit he was familiar with - the Frostwind Iron Guard.
These Frostwind Iron Guards are all high-level knights.
It can be said that the Frostwind Viscount is indeed strong. There are only a few senior knights in the Ice Lake Territory. The Frostwind Viscount Territory actually uses senior knights wearing enchanted armor as tomb guards.
Of course, Ricardo estimated that this was also because the tomb was particularly important.
"Next is the inside of the tomb..."
Ricardo asked Beetle to initially explore the terrain in the tomb, and then left some images of some scenes in the tomb.
He glanced at it and found that the mural patterns in these images were somewhat different from the patterns in the tomb where Paris was before.
During the previous dinner, Paris mentioned to him the affairs of the Palan Clan and the Storm Clan in the Linxue Province.
Also and Ricardo depicted the emblems of two extraordinary clans.
Judging from the details displayed in the two murals, the pattern of the tomb where Paris was previously found is related to the Paran clan, while the mural pattern here looks like it is related to the Storm clan.
It seems that Viscount Frostwind, like Paris, is a descendant of the remnants of the Wild Snow, but his ancestors are from the Storm Clan of the former Cold Snow Province.
The other party has been able to successfully rise over the years. It is more likely that he found this tomb from some clues about his ancestors and finally obtained some inheritance. Therefore, in the end, the other party will choose to be with the person who was originally here when he was promoted to Viscount. The Wind Wolf family exchanged territory and chose to build a castle here.
"A lucky person who has received relevant inheritance from his ancestors, of course, is indeed decisive in killing..."
Ricardo commented based on the past rumors of Viscount Frostwind, "But no matter what, you have to be prepared to die!"
After surveying the terrain and the enemy's quantity, the next step is to set up the battlefield.
Ricardo took out a number of beetles with similar appearance but without the function of generating and drawing maps, and put C4 plastic explosives on these beetles.
He then began to manipulate the beetles and began to plant explosives in many locations of his choosing.
The C4 plastic explosive he obtained is itself needed for civil engineering blasting.
Many explosives come with their own remote-controlled explosive devices and can be easily installed on mountains.
Ricardo chose many locations in the snow and planted explosives one by one.
Then he started to place them around the tomb.
Then, he controlled several beetles loaded with explosives to go to hidden corners inside the tomb.
…
Everything is ready.
Ricardo unfolded the rack of the Barrett sniper rifle at a high point and mounted the Barrett.
Then he summoned his clone, the Evil Flower Spirit Puppet.
Let the clone quietly come to the tomb with the most powerful mechanical beetle equipped with a thermal imager.
The thermal imaging camera monitors the conditions of the people inside the tomb.
Through long-term comparison of thermal images, he could already determine which of them was Viscount Frostwind.
As long as the other party enters the depths of the tomb, he will know.
Summon the wolf!
Ricardo took out the wolf bone necklace and summoned two giant skeleton wolves.
He sent the two giant skeleton wolves toward the sentry point on the top of the mountain.
The soldiers standing guard on the top of the mountain are not of high rank. After all, it is a hard job.
Two giant skeleton wolves are enough to take care of the people inside.
What's more, this time Ricardo also prepared powerful hypnotic spray and poison on the claws of the giant skeleton wolf.
…
Inside the castle.
Viscount Frostwind had breakfast in the restaurant.
Behind him was a captain of the Frostwind Iron Guard. After listening to some reports from the other party, he headed towards some extended buildings at the back of the castle.
He walked through the Lord's Hall of the castle, walked through the corridors connecting the halls, and then walked into the corridors in the extended building...
After passing through a secret door, an entrance to a certain tomb appeared in front of him.
The Frostwind Iron Guard guarding the door, the Frostwind Viscount, and the Frostwind Iron Guard captain all saluted.
Viscount Frostwind strode into it...
three minutes later.
"Almost."
Ricardo asked the Beetle near the tomb to return to the clone, and then released the clone summons.
Let the clone leave holding the valuable Beetle.
Then he summoned the clone to his side again, letting the clone control the Barrett gun frame in front of him.
beep.
Ricardo pressed the button on the remote-controlled bomb.
…
After Viscount Frostwind entered the tomb today, he instinctively felt that something was wrong with the environment inside the tomb.
There was a constant, alarming pinprick in his temple.
He looked into the depths of the deep tomb, thinking that something strange might have happened deep in the tomb.
He took out his precious weapon 'Storm Sword', held it in his hand, and prepared to go down to the depths of the tomb to find out.
Seeing the lord draw his sword, several Frostwind Iron Guards who were following behind also became nervous.
"Pay attention..."
Viscount Shuangfeng frowned, and he still vaguely felt a sense of peeping.
But the surroundings are dark, and where does this sense of voyeurism come from? Could it be that an evil spirit has resurrected in the tomb?
boom! ——Bang
! ——At
this moment.
The explosion started.
A strong heat wave carrying extremely huge pressure came from the edge of the tomb!
Viscount Frostwind turned around suddenly. The needle-pricking sensation he felt at this moment had disappeared. Only his physical intuition could sense the fear of death!
"Lord!"
Several loyal Frostwind Iron Guards subconsciously stood in front of him.
Viscount Frostwind subconsciously fell towards the deep entrance of the tomb, but his eyes were widened to the extreme and filled with disbelief.
The enchanted armor on the Frostwind Iron Guard on the front shone brightly, and Shun'er was about to form a shield.
