Chapter 378 Invasion

"Reload faster!"

"Don't shake your fingers, one by one embedded in the loader!"

"The teammates in the front row need your loaded ammunition. If you are 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 your actions!"

In the First Army camp, Lord Brian was loudly urging the recruits to practice loading, and Nail was one of them.

He wasn't a recruit at all, he was even an old member of the First Army—since the militia team defeated the evil beast invasion under the leadership of His Royal Highness, he joined the team under the strong request of Iron Head. According to Tietou's words, fighting the enemy with a musket on his shoulders and defending His Royal Highness and Miss Nanawa is more rewarding than spending a lifetime digging in a mine.

Not long after Nail was enlisted, the militia was reorganized into the First Army. In addition to fighting evil beasts, he followed His Royal Highness Roland and Lord Iron Ax to defeat the nobles who had never imagined before, and overthrew the throne of the Duke of Lane. Even the army of the new king Timothy failed to step into Border Town. After these few battles, he has become a small captain of the Musketeers.

However, according to the habits of the First Army, whenever a large number of recruits join, some veterans will be arranged to be placed in the newly formed team to serve as the instructors of the recruits, to accompany them in training, and to live and eat with them. Nail was not very willing when he was selected at the beginning, which meant that he could not stand on the front line and fight with his familiar partners immediately. However, when he enlisted in the army, he was also guided by an old member of the militia, so he had to accept this. Task.

And the veteran who served as the guide of his team at that time was Lord Brian, and now he has become the commander of the first battalion of the Musketeers.

Nail hopes that one day in the future, he can wear the medal awarded by His Royal Highness, stand in front of nearly a thousand people and give orders. Iron Head is indeed right, this job is much better than operating a steam engine in front of a mine.

"My lord, how long are we going to practice this?" A young man in the line that he was in charge of guarding muttered, "It's still snowing in the sky."

"Practice until you can complete this movement within five breaths with your eyes closed." Nail stopped in front of him, "Your name is Hai Meng, right? Remember to call the report before speaking, this is the rule of the First Army !"

"Report," the short man next to Haimeng shouted, his hands still moving, "Are there any eggs for tonight?"

This sentence caused a voice of swallowing in the queue.

Nail couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, allowing this group of recruits from the northern and southern regions of the Kingdom to maintain good discipline even in snowy weather. In addition to half a month of uninterrupted training and stick education, there is enough to eat. All-you-can-eat food—wheat porridge and bacon jerky is a must, and occasionally a small piece of kipper, or even an egg. However, the latter will only appear in the meal after fighting against the evil beast herd or training in the wild.

"We have to ask if the evil beasts will come to trouble Border Town," he shrugged. "What's your name?"

"Ai Ku, my lord."

"The bullet in your hand has been stuffed for a long time, and the grandmother next door to me is more flexible than you," Nail put away his smile and said solemnly, "If it is still like this before the end of the practice, don't talk about eggs, even Meat porridge, I will cancel your share!"

Everyone immediately lowered their heads, it seemed that no one wanted to be punished and banned from eating dinner.

At this moment, a rapid bell rang suddenly from the lookout post on the city wall.

Evil beasts are coming.

"Stop the practice!" Brian yelled, "All the lineup instructors lead their men into the city wall area, ready to fight!"

"Have you heard that?" Nail urged, "Hold the ammunition in your hands, don't drop any of them, and line up to the top of the city as you usually do in training. Our position is on the fourth section of the city wall. Let's move!" "

He didn't expect to be able to eat eggs, he thought to himself.

...

After arriving at the predetermined location, Nail saw that the musketeers were ready. Facing the dark tide looming in the distance, they calmly made the last gun inspection, and then put the gun barrels on the wall stack.

Nail couldn't help feeling a little regretful, he could have held a revolver in his hand, and taught these brutes a harsh lesson.

The bullets are inserted into the loader one by one, and then placed within easy reach of the front row personnel. Behind each veteran, there are one or two people who are responsible for loading. When necessary, they can shoot all five bullets in one breath. Compared with the flintlock gun used before, I don't know how much stronger it is.

"Look, the witches are coming!" Hai Meng whispered.

"They are...beautiful," Ai Ku murmured. "Before I came here, I heard the church describe them and thought they were ugly and scary."

"Do you only pay attention to this?" The former snorted disdainfully, "It's not like you didn't miss the last battle, the woman with the giant sword cut down the hybrid evil beast with one blow, if I also have That kind of power is good."

"In case that's really the power of the devil—"

"Fart!" Nail shouted loudly, "Miss Nana is also a witch, so she is a devil." Then he lowered his voice and said, "If you dare to say this in front of the veterans of the First Army, I guarantee that the first You're going to be bruised and bruised in two days, she's the angel of the town, the power of the gods, get it? Now focus on reloading, it's not practice!"

After teaching these talkative guys a lesson, Nail took the time to glance ahead. The group of evil beasts this time is not much different from usual. It seems that it won't take long to clean up the battlefield... Wait, what is that?

There seemed to be a huge figure among the black tides. At first he thought it was a turtle-shell siege beast, but that figure seemed to be even bigger, and its movement speed was much faster.

When the other party got closer, Nail couldn't help but widen his eyes. It turned out to be a huge evil beast that he had never seen before! The huge fangs are almost thicker than a human body, lying across the face like a sickle, and the limbs, which are comparable to stone pillars, splash layers of snow and mist as they run. Almost every step makes the ground tremble slightly. The four-meter-long city wall It is not even as high as its lower jaw. If it hits directly, the mud wall will be torn apart immediately.

artillery!

Undoubtedly, the musket has very limited effect on this giant monster, and only the big guns of the artillery team can stop it from advancing! The most powerful among them is undoubtedly the new long-barreled cannon on the sixth section of the city wall.

"My God, look there," the recruits exclaimed from behind, "what kind of monster is that!"

"God bless, is this the devil from hell?"

"Shut up and keep doing what you should do!" Nail swallowed and looked at the position of the new cannon. The barrel reflecting the silver light had already started to move, and the straight muzzle was slowly turning. Aim at the direction where the giant beast is attacking.

I saw a dazzling flash of fire, followed by a deafening roar!
