"Reload faster!"
"Don't shake your fingers. Insert the bullets into the loader one by one!"
"Your teammates in the front need you to load the bullets. If you're too slow, the enemy will rush over and kill you!"
"Don't stare at other places. Just look at your fingers!"
"As long as your teammates are still shooting, don't stop!"
In the camp of the First Army, Lord Brian was loudly urging the recruits to practice loading. Nail was also one of them.
He was not a recruit, but a veteran of the First Army. Since the Militia had defeated the demonic beasts under the leadership of His Royal Highness, he had joined the Militia at the strong request of Iron Head. According to Iron Head, it was much more promising to fight against the enemy with a gun and protect His Royal Highness and Miss Nana than to mine in the mines for a lifetime.
Soon after Nail was drafted, the Militia was reorganized into the First Army. In addition to fighting against demonic beasts, he followed His Royal Highness Roland and His Excellency Iron Axe to defeat the great nobles that he had never dared to dream of and overthrew the throne of Duke Ryan. Even the army of the new King Timothy could not step into Border Town. After several battles, he had become a captain of the Flintlock Team.
However, according to the First Army's custom, whenever a large number of recruits joined, some veterans would be arranged to be inserted into the newly formed team as instructors, accompany the recruits to practice, eat and live with them. At first, Nail was not very willing to be selected, which meant that he could not stand in the front line and fight together with familiar companions. However, thinking that when he joined the army, he was also instructed by a veteran member of the Militia, so he had to accept the task.
At that time, the veteran who instructed his team was Lord Brian, who had now become the commander of the First Battalion of the Flintlock Team.
Nail hoped that one day in the future, he would be able to stand in front of nearly a thousand people and give orders with the medal awarded by His Royal Highness. Iron Head was right. This job was much better than operating the steam engine in front of the mine.
"My Lord, how long are we going to practice this?" A young man in the team that he was responsible for muttered, "It's still snowing."
"Practice until you can complete this movement within five breaths with your eyes closed." Nail stopped in front of him. "Your name is Haimeng, right? Remember to shout 'report' before you speak, this is the rule of the First Army! "
"Sir," the short man beside Haimon shouted, his hands still moving. "Are there eggs for dinner tonight?"
His words caused everyone in the queue to swallow their saliva.
Nail could not help but curl up the corner of his mouth. The reason why these recruits from the Northern Region and the Southern Territory of the kingdom could maintain good discipline even in the snowy weather was not only the continuous training and stick education for half a month, but also enough food — oatmeal and salted meat jerky were necessities. Occasionally, there would be a small piece of pickled fish and even an egg. However, the latter would only appear in meals after fighting against demonic beasts or training in the wild.
"You'll have to ask the demonic beasts whether or not they'll come looking for trouble in Border Town," he shrugged. "What's your name?"
"Ai Ku, Your Excellency."
"The bullet in your hand has been stuffed for a long time. Even the old granny next door is more flexible than you." Nail stopped smiling and said solemnly, "If you're still like this before the end of the training, not to mention eggs, I'll even cancel your share of oatmeal and meat!"
Everyone immediately lowered their heads. It seemed that no one wanted to be banned from eating dinner as a punishment.
Just then, a bell suddenly rang from the lookout post on the city wall.
The demonic beasts were attacking.
"Stop the training!" Brian shouted. "All team instructors, lead your men into the city wall area and prepare for battle!"
"Did you hear that?" Nail urged. "Take the ammunition in your hands and don't leave anyone behind. Line up and climb the city wall as you usually do in the training. Our position is at the fourth section of the city wall. Move! "
"I didn't expect that I could really eat eggs," he thought to himself.
…
After arriving at the predetermined position, Nail saw that the flintlocks were ready. Facing the looming Black Tide in the distance, they calmly checked the guns for the last time and then put the barrels on the battlement.
Nail could not help but feel a little regretful. He could have held a revolving rifle and taught these beasts a hard lesson.
Bullets were inserted into the loader and then placed in a position where the people in the front row could easily reach. There were one or two people behind each veteran who were responsible for loading. If necessary, they could shoot all five bullets at one go. The firepower of this rifle was much stronger than that of the flintlock they had used before.
"Look, the witches are coming!" Haimeng whispered.
"They're so... beautiful," Ai Ku murmured. "Before I came here, I heard the church's description and thought they were ugly and horrible."
"Is that all you'll notice?" Haimeng snorted disdainfully. "You saw it in the last battle. The woman with a giant sword on her back cut down the hybrid demonic beast with one blow. If only I had such power."
"In case it's really the power of the demons —"
"Bullshit!" Nail shouted. "Miss Nana is also a witch. Is she a demon?" Then he lowered his voice and said, "If you dare to say this in front of the veterans of the First Army, I promise you'll be black and blue the next day. She's the town's angel and the power of God. Do you understand? Now put all your attention on reloading, this is not a practice! "
After teaching these talkative guys a lesson, Nail took some time to glance at the front. This time, the demonic beasts were not much different from the usual ones. It seemed that it would not take long to clean up the battlefield... Wait, what was that?
There seemed to be a huge figure among the Black Tide. At first, he thought it was a Siege Beast with a tortoise shell, but the figure seemed to be bigger and moved much faster.
When the figure got closer, Nail could not help but widen his eyes. It was a huge demonic beast that he had never seen before! Its huge fangs, which were almost thicker than a human's body, were in front of its face like a sickle. Its limbs, which were comparable to stone pillars, splashed layers of snow mist as it ran. Almost every step it took made the earth tremble slightly. The more than four-meter-high city wall was not even as high as its jaw. If it directly bumped into the mud wall, it was afraid that the mud wall would immediately be torn apart.
Artillery!
There was no doubt that the effect of flintlocks on this huge monster was extremely limited. Only the big guns of the artillery team could stop it! And the most powerful of them was undoubtedly the new long-barreled cannons on the sixth section of the city wall.
"My God, look over there." Behind him came the screams of the recruits. "What's that monster?"
"God bless us. Is it a demon from hell?"
"Shut up and continue to do what you should do!" Nail swallowed his saliva and looked at the position of the new cannon. The barrel, which reflected the silver light, was already moving. The flat muzzle slowly turned and aimed at the direction where the giant beast came from.
A dazzling flame flashed, followed by a deafening roar!
