Uesugi Kazuya ordered the accompanying sniper to go into action, attempting to suppress the tribe's firepower and clear a path for the troops to advance. The sniper quickly sought out an advantageous position, concealed himself in the fork of a large tree, and set up his sniper rifle.
Peering through the scope, he began scanning for targets, first locking onto a tribal archer who was drawing a bow behind a fortification. With a soft crack, a bullet tore through the air straight toward the archer. At that critical moment, sensing danger, Leitao lunged at the archer, and the two of them tumbled to the ground together. The bullet grazed the top of their heads and struck a boulder behind them, sending a shower of stone chips flying.
"Thanks!" the shaken archer said.
