Chapter 162 High-Altitude Entry Operation - D2

"Listen up, guys! Our mission objective is simple: occupy and hold the Syldavia region before the enemy can react. We are honored to have our great Miss President with us for this operation! So get your spirits up!"

"Whoa!"

"red light!"

The airport lights turned red, and the paratroopers stood up. The clanging of the paratrooper equipment and the FN FAL paratrooper automatic rifles on their leg straps rubbed against their HBT cloth jumpsuits. The M36 paratrooper helmets, originally from Germany, were now covered with Russian-style camouflage covers, and there was a MOLLE strip around the helmet for attaching accessories or camouflage.

"We'll be there in one minute!"

Each paratrooper raises their right hand, gripping the parachute line secured by a ring spring lock. The lock is attached to a lever, and the paratrooper's parachute opens due to gravity after jumping.

Alice stood at the back, completely out of place with the others. She looked more like a medieval witch who had wandered onto a battlefield during the Cold War. She muttered incantations, the origins of which she already knew.

The lights suddenly turned green, and the brigade commander shouted, "Green light!"

Outside the hatch, there was a vast expanse of sky and land. The Slovakian region of Slovakia was a rare open space between mountains, where a small village was nestled.

The plane scattered dandelion seeds one after another. Alice walked to the front of DC-3. Brigade Commander Bravo Casa nodded to Alice. Alice didn't need a parachute, but he was curious to see how she would complete the jump.

"Ladies first, Miss President."

"Well~ okay, okay~"

Alice grasped a handle by the hatch, turned sideways, and sat on her staff: "Antigravita?modulo, duono de energio komenci?as!"

The staff lit up, Alice waved her hand, and descended while sitting sideways on the staff.

"My God, magic can be used like this?"

Amidst the blooming umbrellas, the black-clad vampire witch moved about on her staff. Alice, with a thought, gathered blood magic in her right hand, which gradually solidified into a rifle.

The Noveske N4, chambered in .300BLK, features a 10.5-inch barrel, a modified Dead Air Sandman-S suppressor, and a Magpul MOE-K2 grip. Alice opted for accessories including an EOTech EXPS3 holographic sight, an EOTech G33 magnifying scope, a BCM SVG short vertical grip, and a Godfire M952V-TN tactical flashlight.

For Alice, the AR-type rifle was easier to use than the AK-type rifle, and she had already practiced with the N4 several times, knowing how to condense it with magic.

The accessories were also the result of painstaking effort. A customized rifle equipped with a silencer, sights, and a flashlight is definitely more suitable for one's pace than a standard rifle. This is Alice's realization at the shooting range.

Of course, this kind of thing is unlikely to be distributed on a large scale, after all, the Noveske N4 with its aluminum receiver and stainless steel barrel is not a cheap product.

Under the watchful eyes of numerous paratroopers, Alice, holding a sand-colored N4, descended to the ground on her staff. The nearby enemy troops also spotted this airborne cavalry, and the sound of gunfire began to rang out. Alice put away her staff and immediately jogged away from the open area, running towards a small village nearby. The super-strong loli held her rifle high in one hand and ran to the base of the wall.

Several soldiers dressed in Balkan Empire army uniforms ran out of the village and began shouting something in Balkan. Alice lowered her rifle, leaned against the wall, and used a reverse C-grip to brace the rifle with one hand against the wall. She aimed at the enemy soldiers with the magnified G33 scope.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Alice pulled the trigger. The subsonic .300BLK bullet became extremely quiet after being processed by the silencer. Several soldiers waving and calling to their comrades on the village road were immediately hit and fell. Alice got a feel for it and immediately pointed the gun at the next soldier.

Meanwhile, Bravo Casa finally entered combat readiness, with paratroopers taking out their airborne FALs, RPG-2 launchers, or 81mm mortars from their leg pouches.

The firepower of the automatic rifles immediately suppressed the remaining Balkan Empire garrison in the village. Each soldier was a small firing point, which was as unbearable for the Balkan Empire soldiers who used breech-loading single-shot rifles.

Alice's N4 was accurate and fast. She put down the rifle, folded up her staff, and removed the frontmost spellcasting unit. Before leaving Red Ridge, Alice modified the staff almost to her liking, adding a MLOCK locking device. Alice locked this modified spellcasting unit in the position slightly forward at the six o'clock position below the barrel, and then twisted it to the side with a hinge, so that it did not block the short grip.

This was also the first experiment with a staff attached to a rifle. Alice activated the magic, and in an instant, a fire dragon erupted from the muzzle, and the rifle instantly transformed into a flamethrower. The barricades hastily built with bricks and furniture in front of her were breached by the flames, the water-cooled heavy machine gun went silent, and screams rang out.

"Wow! This is truly an eye-opener for me!"

The paratroopers were already drooling over the sand-colored, slender, silenced rifle in Alice's hand, but now, Alice's act of attaching a staff to it surprised them even more.

"Magic can be used like this?"

However, Alice eventually obediently put the staff back down. There was no other way; adding a custom-made magical circuit from Magic Future to the front of the barrel to assist the staff shifted the gun's center of gravity, making it difficult to hold the gun for extended periods.

But Alice, wielding a staff in one hand and a modern rifle in the other, was more than capable of ending the battle. With the last enemy soldier killed by the paratroopers, the town of Syldavia was liberated.

This place is also the only way for the enemy to retreat eastward. The residents here have long since left. Alice ordered the brigade commander to assign tasks, set up an advance command center and reception units, and establish fire positions and field hospitals.

They are about to face a tough battle.

"Yes, that's right. The two machine guns are positioned in a cross formation. Hmm, we need to dig a firing position. We might not get timely support... The reconnaissance team is short-handed? Wait, I'll lead the reconnaissance team."

Alice stood in the makeshift command center, which had been converted from a civilian house, discussing combat missions with the brigade commander. Platoon leaders and logistics personnel came and went from time to time, and Alice noticed that almost everyone's eyes were on her or the N4 rifle on the table.
