Gun-ota ga Mahou Sekai ni Tensei Shitara - Chapter 158: Stun Bullet

It was the seventh night after receiving Ice’s and the white wolves’ request of “Kidnapping Am Norte Boden Smith, the eldest son of Toruo Norte Boden Smith”.

We left the mainly Technology developer Meiya, and invaded the interior of Norte Boden, the largest city on the North Continent, through an underpass again.

We aimed at “Am Norte Boden Smith” after he returned from a party.

The White Wolves’ collaborators that he would be invited to a party with his friends tonight. It was confirmed that he got out of the chalk castle by horse-drawn carriage and entered the party venue.

The attack was aimed at the time when he returned from the party being tired and relaxed. There was also the reason that when he went to the party, there would be too many people in the streets at that time.

If we attacked the mansion used for the party venue, the risk was high, but if we invaded and kidnapped him at midnight when he fell asleep…

Fortunately, the target wasn’t staying in the mansion and was on his way home in a carriage.

It was the night at an unpopular boulevard. Snow and I were lurking in the shadow of a building waiting for the target to pass. Each of us held a semi-automatic shotgun “SAIGA12K” in our hands.

Chris, Liz, and Shea were waiting on the roof of a taller building on the other side. They were supposed to signal when the carriage arrived. The white soldiers could attack, and Liz and Shea had Chris on guard.

It also had the purpose of quickly detecting a surprise attack of the white soldiers. Watching the surroundings from a high place where Chris, who has good eyesight, and Shea, who is good at detecting signs.

By the way, Chris had an SVD (Dragunov sniper rifle). Liz had a PKM General-purpose machine gun, and Shea had the Coffer with an attaché case with a built-in MP5K.

This time purpose is to kidnap important people. I have no intention of shedding blood. That’s why I recommended a shotgun to Shea, but …

“No, the Coffer. Rather, why are young Master not using a Coffer? On the contrary, I was wondering.”

Recently, I felt that Shea had a biased trust in the Coffer. In the old days, she used to say, “A knife is better.”

The ambush was at night. Fortunately, it was a great day to attack, there was no snowstorm.

While hiding in the shadow of a building, Snow and I were having a conversation to kill time while waiting.

“By the way, Snow was talking to Ice yesterday.”

Approximately 6 days until the operation would be carried out.

We were allowed to stay in the temporary village of the advance corps.

Meanwhile, Snow had many conversations with Ice, who was of the same generation and age. By the way, Ice did not participate in this kidnapping operation. She had no talent as a magician.

This time, a white wolf mage, oversees guiding us in the underpass so that he can protect himself in case of emergency because it is a dangerous event.

Therefore, Ice was in the temporary village this time.

“Yeah, we talked a lot. Especially, it seems that the magician school that the lord’s eldest son attended was in the fairy continent. I told various things such as the atmosphere of the school and the contents of the lessons. She wanted to know a lot about the people she like after all.”

“The eldest son to be kidnapped was attending the magician school on the Fairy continent.”

“That’s right.”

I remembered some sort of snag. The aristocrat, Am, attended the magician school on the Fairy continent…

I was busy preparing to go to the North Continent, leaving the new Knights of Chastity to maintain security in Kokori, and preparing winter clothes while the airship was flying. As a result, the name of the person Aina was talking about was completely removed from my head.

“Lute-kun, the signal has come.”

I came back with Snow’s words. Lights flashed from the roof of the building where Chris and the others were.

It was a Morse code that used light.

I taught the members of the Pure Maiden Knights in a training drill. Snow also learned how to do it. This was an alternative to long-distance contact instead of a receiver or a cell phone.

In Morse, they send me information about their current location, course, number of escorts, the location of the guards, equipment, and whether there are any other ambush troops.

There was one carriage. There were six escorts, straddling a horse and wearing armor, with spears in their hand and swords hanging from their waist. Three pairs of escorts are running side by side to sandwich the carriage from the left and right. There were no other soldiers following. There were no white soldiers.

The course was as planned, and if they kept going as it was, they will reach the attack point.

There was no time to reach the attack point. Snow wore a face mask taken out of her pocket to hide her face.

I also did the same in a hurry, after confirming that the magazine attached to the combat shotgun, I had in my hand was a “non-lethal shot shell” put in it.

What is this non-lethal shotshell? Originally, a shotgun was a hunting gun. Therefore, there are multiple types of ammunition depending on the situation and purpose. The advantage of a shotgun is that you can choose.

The loaded shotshell is overwhelmingly larger than the ammunition cartridge of a handgun (for example, the typical 9 bullets of a shot can contain about 8 mm of bullets inside the loaded 9). Therefore, it is called a “9-grain bullet”). This allows various things to be packed inside. As a result, a variety of special ammunition was invented.

Among them, there was the “non-lethal bullet shotshell” that neutralizes the opponent without killing it. A typical example of a non-lethal cartridge is the stun bullet.

Originally, bullets are made of metal to kill the opponent, but in the case of “Stun bullets”, rubber bullets are shot.

In fact, the bullet is soft because it is rubber, and certainly people should not die, but if it hits a bad place, it may kill. So, some experts said that: it should be called “low-lethal” rather than “non-lethal”.

Therefore, just because you don’t kill the other person, it doesn’t mean that the usage and handling are complicated.

However, in this different world, there is no rubber-like in the previous life. Rubber can only be made from rubber trees or chemically synthesized.

Recently, I found a rubber-like monster part in Kokori town. But I’m in the middle of experimenting with whether I can actually use it.

So, this time, I loaded my SAIGA12K combat shotgun with a non-lethal shotshell called “Beanbag” that has the same effect as Stun bullets.

A small bag, the size of a palm, is packed with sand. A long string is attached to the butt part to raise the accuracy of the hit.

For example, a weapon called “Blackjack”, packs sand in a bag to hit the opponent.

That’s what I did with a loaded shotshell.

A bag full of sand is shot at high speed, colliding with the opponent and depriving him of consciousness.

So, we were ready and waited for Chris’s signal.
