Chapter 81: "Toys" and Methods

When toys play?

Duke looked at Lenia with some dumbfoundedness, not understanding how he could put in his eyes a powerful weapon that could change the times in reality, and it would be treated like this.

Even if it's not like a treasure to be offered, at least you should take it seriously, right?

He glared at Lenia with some dissatisfaction and said, "Now take me to the back camp to have a look, I want to know how you guys play!"

It was the first time for Lenia to see the lord so angry, and she wanted to explain a few words, but she had to give up when she saw that Duke's attitude was already a little bad.

She opened her mouth and didn't say anything after all, turning to lead the way for the lord in front.

Before he reached the back camp, Duke heard a muffled thud that he knew was the characteristic sound of the Magic Rifle when it was activated.

Anxious to know what the toys were like, he quickened his pace past Lenia and quickly stepped into the camp.

But the scene inside the camp was a little different from what he had expected.

Originally, he thought that the so-called toy was to use the magic rifle as a burning stick, to play with casually or idle.

However, at this time, most of the soldiers in the camp were roughly distributed in four fields to carry out similar training activities, and if you look closely, they are roughly divided into four types of activities.

Three of the categories were classified according to different clothing, and they were wearing half-body plate armor, leather armor, or cloth armor that was completely different from that of the soldiers outside, and they were training in groups to shoot at the shooting range.

And he noticed that next to each group of soldiers was a soldier dressed as a clerk, who would write down a long time on a wooden board after each round of shooting, and occasionally tear a piece of paper from it and hand it to the herald passing by.

The sound Duke heard just now was the one they had made during training, and due to their lack of skill, the speed of firing and reloading was fast and slow, so the sound came out of it was also intermittent.

As for the last group, there were soldiers in regular clothes, and the number was the smallest, only a dozen or so, and they were holding magic rifles and a bunch of drawings in twos and threes, and they didn't know what was being discussed, and the end of those heralds was also here.

"This ...... Is that what you mean by 'playing'?" Duke looked at Lenia with some confusion, and at the same time ran over angrily with some regret that he didn't understand the whole story.

Lenia pursed her lips and crossed her arms and teased: "My lord, I didn't say play, I only said 'toys', you think too much." ”

After thinking carefully about the conversation just now, Duke found that Lenia really didn't mention this, and it was completely her own brain that made up what she thought it was, and then followed this line of thought, and finally encountered such an embarrassing situation.

He looked away a little embarrassedly, not daring to look directly at the Chief Knight's mocking gaze.

"So what are they doing?" Duke, in order to ease the embarrassment and answer his doubts, finally decided to change the subject.

Because the training scene in front of me is also related to the word "play", although the overall look is a little strange, but this is still related to the general military drill.

Lenia finally stopped playing tricks on Duke, and then sighed helplessly, "My lord, you know that the Magic Rifle is a completely new weapon, at least for the first time in the history of mankind to be equipped on a large scale. ”

Duke nodded in agreement with her words, except for dwarves with similar equipment in this world, no other race has ever seen and used it, not to mention that even dwarves can't do large-scale installation.

"But it also means a new way of training, a new code of conduct, and a new level of combat requirements, just like the traditional training methods you've seen before, have little compatibility with this new weapon, which causes us a lot of unexpected problems. ”

Lenia pointed to the soldiers who were still training normally and said, "These are all veterans and staff officers who have been with us since the beginning, I can only give these new equipment to the relatively experienced ones to study first, and summarize a new set of methods." ”

Duke looked at Lenia and then at them, finally understanding what the problem was.

He provided a completely new weapon, but without a matching method, as local natives, they can be said to have a blank slate in this area, and they have no experience at all, so they can only summarize while groping in such a stupid way.

"And!"

Lenia seemed to open the conversation, and spit out everything she wanted to say, and said with some annoyance: "I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, the anvil they seem to be improving too quickly, and the equipment sent three times this month is very different in style, and we need to refamiliarize ourselves with ...... each time."

As if she had finally found someone to pour bitter water, she clung to Duke and kept talking about the difficulties and embarrassments she had encountered recently, and she couldn't stop.

Duke touched his nose and smiled stiffly, he didn't expect the anvil to be so quick to combine his modern knowledge with the magic props here, and update the equipment at a very terrifying speed, spanning a process that would take generations to explore in a short period of time.

He had already solved the ammunition problem a long time ago, making steel-shelled bullets out of steel and magic stone powder produced in the North.

With the new ammunition, the form of the magic rifle has naturally changed, and the original flintlock form is no longer suitable for the requirements of reloading ammunition.

So he has improved the original magic rifle, saying a few days ago that he was going to use a revolver-like magazine to replace the reload, and it seems that the finished product has not been delivered to the barracks until now, otherwise Lenia would have to complain once.

And the problem of updating equipment several times a month is indeed that Duke did not think about it thoughtfully, always thinking that there was something new and just updated and installed, and did not enter the stability test and familiarity for a period of time, and as a result, there would be so many problems when used in the field.

As for the training methods that accompany the new weapons, Duke has learned some from the previous Internet.

Although it's only a little bit of a star, you can't get a glimpse of the whole picture, but it's still a lot better than Lenia and the others groping from scratch.

"Ahem, in fact, I have some thoughts about the training of the new army. Duke saw that Lenia was almost done, and interrupted her with a slight cough.

"Huh?"

Lenia looked at Duke suspiciously, suspecting that he might be joking or trying to gag her, so she smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
