Dean waved goodbye to Lun and followed Guli to the largest tent. He saw a slender youth sitting behind a desk in the tent. He was flipping through a book. He looked up when he heard Guli's voice. His eyes fell on Dean who was next to Guli.
"Boss, this is the newcomer. His name is Ryan." Guli said in a loud voice.
"Hello, platoon leader." Dean called out. At the same time, he looked at the platoon leader. The latter was younger than he had imagined. Unlike the people outside, he had a scholarly aura but didn't appear weak. At first glance, he could tell that he was a person who had restrained his murderous aura.
Fett smiled: "You are one of us. You don't have to be polite."
"Yes, boss is very easy to talk to." Guli laughed.
Fett glanced at him: "You lost in arm wrestling but you still want to take back the money. Your face is getting thicker and thicker recently."
Guli was startled: "Boss, you know. You can't blame me. Brother Dean has an agility type magic mark. I didn't have time to react before I lost."
Fett snorted: "A loss is a loss. Don't find excuses. Take him to change into our uniform. Also, tell him about our rules. Don't bother me if there is nothing else."
Guli smiled apologetically and retreated with Dean.
"Don't look at boss. He is actually very easy to talk to." Guli explained to Fett as they left the tent.
Dean smiled: "I know. I can see that he is a good person."
Guli laughed. "That's right. Boss Feite is much better than the platoon leaders of the other regiments. You'll know in the future. Let's go. I'll take you to change your clothes first. Then, I'll take you to have a feast."
There was a trace of excitement in his eyes when he said 'eat meat'.
Dean frowned. He vaguely smelled the meaning of 'eat meat'. It seemed that there should be a profession like military prostitutes. The life of such people was obviously miserable. It was likely that they were refugees from the weak giant wall or the slums of the empire.
"It's not good to eat meat. Let's go next time. I will treat you." Dean smiled: "I'm new here so I'm not familiar with this place. Can you tell me about this place? I've heard that the trolls outside the War God's Wall are very ferocious and look very strange. Do you know where I can find them? Their corpses are also good."
"You haven't seen trolls?" Guli was a bit surprised, but he didn't ask any questions. Although he looked rough, he wasn't stupid. He wouldn't recklessly invade someone else's privacy. He smiled and said, "This Giant Demon is indeed strange. Its entire body is covered in metal armor, and its eyes can shoot out a red light. If you are hit, a hole will appear. Moreover, its perception is terrifying. No matter where you hide, it can find you."
"So powerful?" A general image emerged in Dean's mind. He was slightly startled: "Are all trolls like this?"
Guli grunted, "Their abilities are similar, but there are also some differences. For example, some trolls can raise a huge light shield to block attacks, whether it's physical or energy attacks, including fire and ice attacks. Oh, right, these trolls also have a very scary thing, they're immune to poison!" "Yes, there's one more thing about them, they're immune to it!"
"No venom can cause harm to them. Even the undead virus can't!"
Dean was startled. His heartbeat accelerated. Undead virus couldn't infect them? Did the genes of the trolls have antibodies against undead virus?!
He was so excited that he couldn't wait to turn around and rush out of the giant wall to find a troll to dissect and experiment on. But his reason made him restrain his excitement.
"What's wrong with you?" Guli looked at him strangely. He found that Dean's shoulders were slightly trembling.
Dean came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled, "Nothing. I just think that the troll is really terrifying. It can be immune to all venom. In this case, we can only rely on real swords and spears to fight the troll."
"Well, we can only fight with them." Guli nodded and grinned: "But it's not our turn to fight with trolls. We can only commit suicide if we encounter a troll. Even if it stands there and lets us kill it, we can't hurt it. The metal armor of the troll is too hard to communicate with. We can't hurt it at all. We can only rely on the abyss walkers."
Dean was curious: "You haven't fought with trolls? Then how do you know this? "
"I haven't shot a bird but I haven't seen a bird fly!" Guli shrugged: "You will understand after staying here for a long time and participating in several battles. But I think it's best if you don't understand. Generally, when we have the opportunity to see the battle between the abyss walkers and the trolls, it means that the situation in the front line is very critical. At this time, even our gunner group will be affected."
"Gunner group?" Dean was stunned.
"Didn't Lunn tell you?" Guli saw Dean's reaction and felt strange: "Our platoon belongs to the ninth platoon of the third company of the gunner group. We mainly operate the artillery to attack from the rear. In most cases, we fight on the God of War's wall. Occasionally we will be sent to the outside of the wall." Guli suddenly thought of something and looked at Dean: "Do you play with artillery?"
"I haven't played with it." Dean shook his head. He understood that the reason why Palena assigned him to this platoon was because she was worried that he would rush to the front line.
The last time he was used as cannon fodder on the God of War's wall. This time he was the gunner from the rear.
"It seems that I have to take you to familiarize yourself with it. Don't worry, this thing isn't difficult. It's just that it consumes strength." Guli laughed.
For the first time, Dean knew that being a gunner required strength. He thought of Guli and the other soldiers he had seen before. All of them had rough and strong bodies. It seemed that the artillery here was quite different from what he had imagined.
Soon, Guli took Dean to the uniform camp. He helped Dean pick two sets of uniforms and familiarize him with the surrounding environment. Finally, he took Dean to the front of the artillery.
Dean finally knew why it was a work of strength. The shape of the artillery was similar to that of the old era, but the volume was completely different. The base was five or six meters high. The caliber of the artillery on the base was about fifty centimeters. The barrel was seven or eight meters long. There was a scope behind the barrel and a handle to control the angle of the barrel. The overall look was rough.
"Generally, firing the cannon is relatively simple. You just need to hold it. But you need to control the angle if you want to hit the monster in a specific location. Once the cannon is started, it can continue to fire for about ten minutes. The base is filled with shells and it will automatically refill. But we need to control the angle. After the cannon is started, we need to twist the angle to withstand a large recoil. Look at my hands. They are all made by this thing." Guli explained to Dudian as he stretched out his hands to show them.
Dean noticed that his hands were full of calluses and burns. He glanced at the place where the barrel was connected to the base and found that it was active so that the recoil of the barrel would have less pressure on the base.
"The base is filled with ammunition and the barrel is mobile. It relies on manpower to offset the recoil …" Dean found that the designer of the artillery was quite clever. He had improved the artillery of the old era to perfectly adapt to this era. Relying on a gunner to act as the base could increase the power of the primitive artillery by dozens of times. However, it was quite mysterious that the barrel could withstand the continuous firing of shells.
