In the eyepiece of the sight, Gollum saw the figure of yekes.

As intelligence shows, the future Earl loves riding. Unless the weather is very bad or the situation is forced, Jacques will definitely choose riding instead of riding in a carriage.

Now the devil has disappeared for nearly a month. The fear caused by the count''s murder has been greatly alleviated. Yekes doesn''t have to worry about the threat of the devil.

In addition, there is a group of more than 30 Knights around him at the moment, among which there are eight awakeners. Such a powerful armed force, even in the event of a sudden attack from the extraordinary, is enough to resist for a moment and a half, and fight for a certain amount of escape time for yekes.

The rumble of the horse''s hooves reverberated on the muddy road, shaking the branches and leaves of the roadside bushes slightly.

Seeing that the target was getting closer to the range, Gollum, covered in leaves, stretched out his right hand, adjusted the magnification of the sight slightly, and gestured to ektor, the observer with the telescope beside him, to pay more attention to the surrounding environment.

Gollum was reckless and aimed the barrel at the Knights. He didn''t care about the alert of the awakened.

In the previous shooting training, the team members found that the alert range of the awakened has a certain limit, which is generally within 200-500 meters according to the level of magic power.

Only the more powerful transcendent can reach more than 1 km.

The team led by Gollum is performing a long-range sniping task. Their ambush position is more than 700 meters away from the road, which has already exceeded the awakened person''s spiritual perception limit.

As the sound of the horse''s hooves became clearer and clearer, Gollum could not help breathing lightly, and his right index finger slid into the trigger, ready to shoot.

According to the pre arranged plan, Gollum was the sniper in the first sequence, while Jeffrey and Lewis were in the second and third respectively.

Gollum is the most accurate shooter. His mission is to shoot non lethal parts of yakes, such as limbs, but try to avoid killing him.

However, this kind of shooting is very difficult and challenging. It''s not easy to hit the enemy at a distance of 1 km, not to mention shooting specific parts.

If Gollum misses, Jeffrey and Lewis will be responsible for helping to mend the gun, and the three will attack yekes at the same time, regardless of life or death.

With the large caliber of the sniper gun, as long as it hits, yekes must be either dead or disabled. The probability of minor injury is very small, unless the bullet just grasps his body.

Gulum took a deep breath, his right eye was close to the sight, and his mind was highly concentrated.

At this time, a wonderful phenomenon happened.

In Gollum''s eyes, the movement of yakes and his horse in his crotch turned into slow motion.

Every step of the horse''s hoof and every movement of its muscles suddenly became a slow motion. Gollum could see clearly, and he could also see clearly the ups and downs of yekes''s body, the raising of his hands and the raising of his chest.

This is Gollum''s special talent "high speed dynamic vision".

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

After two breaths, gulum adjusted the sniper gun to a slight angle, and used the sight to circle yekes into the field of vision. After counting silently in his heart, gulum pulled the trigger decisively.

"Hiss..."

The roar broke the silence, and a large caliber sniper bullet flashed out of the gun and flew towards yekes.

Thanks to Renault''s muffler, the low noise of the magic sniper gun, and the obstruction of the surrounding bushes, the sound pressure level of this shot is not big.

Only within a radius of more than 200 meters can the sound be heard clearly. Within a radius of more than 500 meters, the sound is very slight, and the knights on the distant road can hardly hear the sound of gunfire.

Only a knight with keen hearing noticed the abnormality. He turned his head and looked at the distance with some doubts.

While Gollum was shooting, yekes was sitting on the delicate saddle, frowning and thinking.

At this time, he suddenly felt that his right thigh seemed to be heavily beaten by something. The next moment, a sharp pain came into his brain, and he almost closed his breath.

Before yekes could react, he heard a huge whine from the horse under him. Then the horse''s running speed dropped sharply. Due to the inertia, he flew out and fell heavily in the mud.

Before his consciousness was engulfed by the darkness, yekes was frightened to find that he didn''t seem to feel the existence of his right leg

From Gollum''s point of view, after he shot, a powerful bullet accurately hit yekes'' thigh and directly broke it into two pieces.

Then the bullet seems to have penetrated into the horse''s belly, causing severe damage to his beloved horse.

Yekes''s broken thigh fell straight into the mud, blood gushing out, and soon blood all over the ground.

This sudden change made his entourage in a mess, and the road was immediately full of roars and horses.Gollum extremely satisfied with a smile, once again through the sight to confirm the results, he whispered to the observation hand said a word, the two quickly evacuated.

Gollum was surprised by the success of the task this time.

In the previous simulation exercise, every 10 snipers, he can hit the target four times, the success rate is less than half, but he did not expect that in the actual task, he could hit yekes in the thigh with one shot, perfectly meeting the task requirements.

There is a reason why the priority should be given to "maiming" yekes rather than "killing" him.

If yekes dies, then the right to inherit the Earl''s title will fall to the other three brothers of yekes, which is likely to disturb the royal family of the thousand families kingdom.

According to the tradition of the Kingdom, if the heir dies accidentally, the Kingdom has the obligation to investigate. After all, the Lord can only be the king if he is an earl or above.

In addition, the royal family also has the right to interfere with the succession right of the title, because in this special case, the succession right is not extended according to the age. Everyone in the count''s remaining children may become the next count Erickson, and the final ownership of the title will be decided by the relevant people.

This gives the royal family room to profit from it. Anyone who wants to be an Earl will give money to the labor and capital!

The labor and capital will support the one who gives more!

It''s good news for the royal family, but bad news for Renault. He doesn''t want too many outside forces to get involved before he has full control of count Eriksson.

Therefore, Renault needs a "disabled but not dead" heir to the count.

After running in the Bush for a while, gulum took out a small thing from his arms and threw it on the ground. Then he quickened his pace and quickly disappeared into the dense branches.

Three hours later, after some emergency treatment, yakes, who came out of a coma, looked at a ring inlaid with gems in front of him, and his face turned black instantly.

This ring is exactly the ring that members of the knight order found near the attack site when they searched for the attacker.

Yekes recognized at a glance that it was the property of little Sir Erickson.

"Kaku Eriksson..." He murmured the name of little Sir Erickson, and his eyes could not help showing deep hatred.

Apart from hatred, there was a little doubt in his mind.

Isn''t little Eriksson missing in the fire that destroyed most of the estate?

Is it just that he''s spreading doubts? He wasn''t really dead, just trying to get out of it?

Very likely!

What''s the weapon that hurt you? How did little Eriksson get this terrible weapon?

What makes yekes even more scared is that if little Erikson launches another attack, can he still escape?

Thinking of this, Jacques''s body trembled for a moment, and without thinking about it, he yelled:

"come on, I''m going to issue a reward as count Erikson''s successor. If anyone can catch little Erikson, he will get 800 jinnals...."
