The motor at the rear of the boat was quite small.
To be precise, not much was revealed as it was covered by the pirates on board or the hands and arms of the pilot who held the steering wheel.
If you look at the motor part that is visible on the scope, it is about a size much smaller than a human head.
It was a difficult target for long-range sniping.
It was for this reason that he hit the pirates approaching from the side one by one.
Rather than expending ammo to hit an unclear motor, it was more rational to neutralize the enemy with certainty.
But now it was different.
This was because the enemy was not approaching from a diagonal direction, but was following in a straight line.
In other words, it means that the left and right movement is very less compared to the side.
Of course, aiming was just as easy.
That was the reason why the prepared RPG-7 warhead was detonated from 1.2km away, which is impossible to hit from the side.
Also, unlike when sniping from the side, the distance was much closer.
[1,260M]
I checked the ballistic calculator monitor attached to the gun and immediately pulled the trigger.
It was a very good street.
Of course, even the unit of 1.2 km exceeded the MK.20’s range of 1 km, but it was not very difficult for me.
It was thanks to the fact that the basic distance I trained while on vacation was 1.6 km, which is 1 mile.
Rather, it lowered the difficulty level.
Taang- Taang- Taang!
After firing three shots in quick succession, the boat’s motor was obscured by the pirate and he removed his index finger.
The results came out quickly.
hit.
Beyond the scope, the speed of the motorboat was noticeably reduced.
By the time the pirates clamored as if embarrassed.
I looked at the last boat.
‘That too… … .’
While adjusting the magnification of the scope, it was time to think about whether to hit the motor.
“… Sincerity?”
While muttering, I looked at the scene through the lens.
One of the pirates was suddenly firing an RPG-7 without properly aiming.
Unlike the pirate who had just died, he was in a very sloppy posture, so one of the pirates behind him shrank from the aftermath.
And the fired RPG-7 warhead fell into the sea without even reaching the ship.
It was natural.
The posture was also a problem, and the distance was too far.
Even if I had brought an RPG-7, I had to close the distance and fire it.
Or they had to shoot with a howitzer, but that wasn’t something the pirates could afford. Whether it’s angle calculation or aiming.
I checked the warhead that had fallen into the sea like that, and looked into the scope again.
was reloading.
A somewhat urgent appearance, clearly intent on triggering this time as well.
I quickly realized why.
“You’re so f*cking… … .”
The pirates were shouting, pointing at the two wrecked, sunken and stationary ships nearby.
I couldn’t see the details of his expression, but he seemed a little excited in his movements and actions.
enough to know
They lost two boats in an instant, so they reacted in their own way.
I can’t tell if it’s frightened, surprised, or angry, but it’s clear that it’s somewhat abnormal anyway.
‘It’s not like it was a pirate one day to day… Did you get a taste for the medicine?’
While judging, I aimed with the scope and put my index finger on the trigger.
In any case, further access had to be blocked.
It was because the distance from the enemy was only 1 km.
Taang-!
It pierced the chest of the pirate holding the RPG-7, and fired one, two, three, four shots in quick succession.
The pirate next to him had shot him while he was picking up an RPG-7.
The target is the motor.
bang! bang! bang! Ta-ang!
As they all hit, the speed of the boat slowed significantly.
You will have to stir it by hand for a long time to get it back.
It was then.
Fighting, fighting, fighting—
An uproar broke out.
The excited guys hit it randomly from a long distance without aiming properly.
Of course, there was nothing to reach, but I didn’t let it go.
The shooter had to be stopped from shooting.
Even a blind bullet will hurt you if it gets stuck somewhere or grazes you.
I took aim and shot, starting with the toxic fussing guy.
bang! bang! bang! bang! bang! Taang! Ta-ang!
7 feet in all.
As much as the number of times the trigger was pressed, the pirates staggered and stumbled over and fell.
Three or four were scattered on the sea, the rest on the boat.
At the same time, the gunshots from the rear stopped.
After 7 shots, I also emptied the 20-round magazine.
Then, as if he had been waiting, the radio came.
– When Lee and Seonmi are finished, go upstairs. Defeat the closest enemies first.
“All right.”
I said simply up, but I knew where I was referring.
It was the place that Jake had been staying at since he had been on board and looked around the ship, saying it was a good place to keep an eye on.
some kind of rooftop.
It was prepared on the roof of the navigation room, and it was a space wide enough for several people to lie down.
From there, the front and sides could all be seen at a glance.
The rear had to go around the structure, but it was possible to check it by moving a few steps.
As I climbed up quickly, a slightly different landscape was revealed from the one I saw from the deck railing.
Of course, the view of the sea remained unchanged, but most parts of the ship were visible.
A location where the navigation room could be located and where the entire ship could be seen.
The downside was that you couldn’t see close to the freighter, but that wasn’t a problem for me.
It’s because if you don’t come, it will stop.
If the pirates aren’t going to dive underwater, just kill them before they get close.
So I set up my seat and looked around the situation.
“… That’s why I told you to come up.”
They weren’t attacking from one or two places, but motorboats were approaching from all directions.
A total of 10 ships.
Including the one I just shot, there were 5 boats that stopped in my hands, so a total of 15 boats were attacking.
In addition, there were things of the same size as dots, coming from quite a distance.
Even the distant mother ship seemed to turn its bow this way.
A sight as if life and death were at stake.
It could have been medicine, but Giandro, who should have instigated him, might have promised a large sum of money to retire from piracy.
It was because Pikal, who was behind it, had a lot of money.
The character setting in the game was something like a billionaire from medieval European royalty.
Anyway, the pirates seemed to be doing their best, but they weren’t that scary, just a lot of numbers.

Like African pirates, it was because all they had to do was come recklessly.
Killing them in order shouldn’t be a problem.
The only concern is that someone gets hurt in the middle or the ship gets damaged and can’t sail.
In any case, the conclusion was simple.
‘Forbidden.’
I literally couldn’t come.
A dozen motorboats, or a much larger mothership, whatever.
Crunchy-
Retracting the bolt, I looked at the nearest point.
“ruler… Come here.”
* * *
The San Diego, a landing platform dock that was patrolling off the coast of northern Somalia, received a rescue request along with the appearance of pirates.
The size of the enemy spread is 1 pirate mother ship, and more than 15 motor boats.
It was news that the approximate number of pirates that could be confirmed with the naked eye was at least 100 to 150.
“… … .”
Upon hearing the news, the captain of the San Diego ship hardened his impression.
It had to be.
Because it was the worst.
Although there were mercenaries on the cargo ship for maritime security reasons, there were only six of them at most, which was unfavorable for defense.
On the other hand, pirates are dozens of times larger.
This was unprecedented.
Usually, it was because they carried out raids with 1-2 boats, and at most 3-4 pirates with dozens or dozens of them.
Not only that, but the case of attacking a large cargo ship was also unusual.
Of course, there were cases until 10 years ago, but since then, cargo companies have hired mercenaries for maritime security reasons, and the number of attacks on large cargo ships has decreased significantly as the fight against Somali pirates has become active.
As such, there were frequent cases of attacking small and medium-sized cargo ships or fishing boats from other cities or countries.
In that respect, the current rescue request was very strange.
The fact that the ship the pirates targeted was a large cargo ship with six mercenaries on board, and the fact that the number of pirates attacking the cargo ship was also significant.
The good news is that the distance is close, so you can arrive by helicopter in 30 minutes, but this was not luck.
It was because they had already been informed and were on patrol.
The news of the pirates’ action had reached the upper part of the 5th Fleet, and several ships were deployed in the Gulf of Aden according to the order.
In a word, being 30 minutes away is natural.
It was for the same reason that everyone, including the captain, officers, noncommissioned officers, and sailors moved quickly without agitation.
Although he was skilled through training and actual combat, the sense of security given by the presence or absence of information was great.
Of course, it was a problem that the number of pirates was too large, but fortunately, it was not a problem for the San Diego ship, including the air force and the marine expeditionary force.
Even if there were hundreds of pirates, there would be no problem in subduing them.
A machine gun mounted on a helicopter would suffice.
Soon after, the helicopter was ready to take off.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo-
As the propellers rotated violently, the ship surfaced from the San Diego and began speeding toward the rescue call.
In the coastal waters, towards the back of the Gulf of Aden, which is a little far away.
“Check the communication status, radio the enemy’s armed status.”
Wait for the helicopter pilot to communicate in case of an unexpected situation.
The northern region of Somalia, which had been nearby, moved farther away and entered a completely open sea.
“uh? What is that? Is it ship wreck?”
The pilot muttered that he saw something foreign on the surface of the water overlooking it, and those on board behind him responded similarly.
– It seems so, it looks like something has been smashed… It looks like a small motor boat.
By the time it was thought that half of the motorboat had been smashed and turned over.
“uh… … ?”
The pilot as well as the passengers all hesitated.
Because it was something unexpected.
A boat, apparently a pirate ship, was adrift.
To be precise, it looked like the passengers were rowing the sea with their hands, and some of them even waved their hands as if begging for help.
At the same time, the moment the helicopter raises its altitude to prevent an unexpected hit.
“… What happened?”
The pilot’s mouth opened involuntarily.
Similar things were scattered all over the sea.
Rowing or half-destroyed floating motor boats, and even the corpses of countless pirates with black skin.
At the same time, the large power line that appeared to be the mother ship was leaning to one side.
As if on fire, it blew out a single wisp of smoke.
“It’s as if a naval battle had taken place… … .”
It was a scene as if fighters, attack helicopters, or naval vessels had already made a mess.
While staring at it while chewing on it.
Only then did the pilot see a large cargo ship.
With a fine appearance without any signs of battle, he was advancing aloftly as if he had nothing to do with this situation.
The pilot who was watching had no choice but to look elsewhere.
There’s no way a cargo ship with just six mercenaries could have brought pirates to this point.
But there was nothing around.
There are only cargo ships.
