"Line up!"

"Ready!"

"Fire!"

"Bang Bang~~"

Suddenly there was a sound of fried beans on the side of the Bishui River, a faint green smoke floated up, and a thick smell of gunpowder wafted in the air.

This is Nilogaard's musket recruits in shooting training.

On the edge of the training ground, Anne and the undead Lekwin watched from afar. Anne was so calm that she was already accustomed to this meeting, but Lekewen's mouth opened wide in shock, and his face was full of shock.

When another round of shooting was over, he finally couldn't help it and asked, "Big ...... Captain, how far can your muskets hit? ”

He saw that the target on the training ground was actually placed more than 100 meters away, not to mention that it could still be aimed at such a long distance, and the power of the bullet was even more amazing, which was much better than the muskets used by wizard hunters.

Anne smiled faintly, raised her hand, and held out four fingers.

Lekwin's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he stammered, "Four..... Four hundred meters? ”

Anne shook her head: "No, the maximum distance can be more than four thousand meters!" ”

"Oh, Celestial, that's not true!" Leckerwin felt that Anne was lying and scaring him.

Anne didn't explain, she walked over to the Quartermaster of Weapons, took a musket from the musket rack beside him, and beckoned Leckwin

Beckoning: "You come with me." ”

Lekwin hurriedly followed.

Anne trotted in the direction of the clear water river, and when she reached the wide clear water river, she stopped, pointed to the wide river and said, "Clear water."

The river is about 600 meters wide, and this section of the river happens to be straight, and the water flow is gentle, so I shot at the downstream of the river, and it stretched out for 5 kilometers, and it was all flat water, right? ”

"Hmm~~~ That's right." Leckerwin nodded.

"If something hits the water, it's sure to make a splash. With your eyesight, you should be able to see clearly, right? Anne asked again.

"It's a bit foggy, but it's mostly clear." Lekwin nodded again.

"Then you're in for a treat."

Anne raised her musket, maintaining a 40-degree angle between the barrel and the ground level, and fired continuously!

"Bang!"

"Click!" The bullet was reloaded.

"Bang!" Shot again.

"Click!" Reloaded again.

Loaded five times in a row and fired five shots!

When the fight was over, Anne lowered her musket and remained motionless.

Lekewen immediately turned his head to look at the river, and looked at it for five or six seconds, but he didn't see any splash, and he said strangely: "I didn't see a splash." ”

Anne smiled slightly and said calmly: "Don't worry, let the bullets fly for a while." ”

Lekwin could only squint his eyes and stare at the river in the distance. More than 20 seconds passed, but there was still no splash

Appear.

After more than ten seconds, Anne suddenly spoke: "It's a south wind blowing today, and the bullets will go north, and the landing point will be north." So you're looking in the wrong direction. ”

Lecoven immediately changed direction, but still found nothing.

After about half a minute, Anne suddenly spoke: "Attention, the bullets are about to fall!" ”

Lekven's spirits perked up and he stared.

Three or four seconds later, he clearly saw that on the surface of the river, about 4,000 meters away, there were water splashes one after another, no more, no less, exactly five!

"My god, you can really fight so far! No wonder it's so powerful! Lekwen's mentality collapsed a little, and he couldn't help but murmur: "With such a powerful musket, sword, or even bow and arrow, is it still necessary to exist?" If someone had shot me from afar, wouldn't I have been killed before I knew it? I've been practicing swordsmanship for so many years, is it all in vain?! ”

For a while, Leckwin was full of confusion, only to feel that the world had become extremely strange, and the strangeness made him feel scared.

Anne could fully understand his feelings, she was also shocked when Rosen disguised the maximum range of this long-handled musket in front of her, and she now clearly remembered what Rosen said at that time, and at this time, she relayed this sentence to Leckwin: "Young man, the age of the sword has passed, and if it is not changed, even the undead will be reduced to the dust of history." ”

Lekwen stood by the river in a daze, for a long time, he sighed: "Captain, forgive me for being rude, but this is not like what you said. ”

Anne disagreed: "Of course I didn't say it, it was Master Rosen who said it, and he also invented the musket." In my eyes, he is an incomparable wise man. ”

Lekevin's mood recovered a little, and he nodded in agreement: "Captain, you're absolutely right. Before, I was worried about the threat of the Cult of the Flame God, but now it seems that those fire worshippers are nothing more than a bunch of clowns. The muskets they used were nowhere near as powerful. ”

Anne shook her head: "No, no, no, your worries are not unreasonable. ”

"Why? We have such an artifact, should we still be afraid of those clowns? Lekwin didn't understand.

Anne laughed, "Although our muskets are powerful, the number of warriors is still too small. The current Nilogaard is just a seedling that has just broken ground, while the Flame God Sect is a big tree that has grown for many years, and its power is all over the continent. If the Cult of Flame attacks with all its might, we may not be able to stop it. ”

"So what to do?!" Lekvin said urgently. This time, his anxiety was genuine, genuinely worried about Nilogaard's fate.

The reason for this, on the one hand, is that the leader of Nilogaard is also an undead, his kindred, and if Nilogaard succeeds in growing, then he can also live a good life. On the other hand, the Cult of Flame God is going around hunting monsters and inhumans, and if the Cult of Flame God really defeats Nilogaard, then he will continue to live in hiding, which is too tragic.

In short, although he had only been in Nilogaard for a short time, Lekwin had already deeply felt that his fate and Nilogaard's fate had been linked, and this was his destination.

Anne seemed to wait for his words, and she smiled, "You are an undead, and you have a unique advantage over other warriors when fighting alone. Master Rosen has asked me to train you, and I will naturally try my best to help you master the art of using muskets. However, I'm not going to make you an ordinary musket warrior, I'm going to help you become a scout, an assassin as soon as possible. ”

Lekewin's eyes lit up: "Scout, assassin...... I'm very experienced in this. ”

He spent many years in hiding near Berkeley, the free city, playing hide-and-seek with wizard hunters every day.

Anne smiled, "I have some special weapons for you. You come with me. ”

She turned and walked back towards the training ground, and Lekwin followed.

Back near the training ground, Anne waved her hand at the quartermaster and whispered a few words to him, and the quartermaster trotted away, and after about five or six minutes he came back out of breath, with a small wooden box half a meter long and wide in his hand.

Anne took the wooden box and handed it to Leckwin: "Open it and take a look." ”

Lekwin's heart was excited, and he carefully unscrewed the clasp of the wooden box, lifted the lid, and saw two strange short-barreled muskets inside. The two muskets, one large and one small, the larger one had a barrel two centimeters thick, more than twice as thick as the barrel of a rifle used by ordinary musketeers. The smaller one was the size of a palm, and the barrel was thick, but it was less than half the size of the larger musket.

Although these two weapons have different forms, they are very delicate, and the surface of the two weapons is steel gray, which is very thick and deep, and is full of an indescribable sense of power.

The first glance at these two weapons, Leckwin held his breath for a moment.

He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the two weapons, only to feel that the touch was cold and silky, and with his keen touch, he could not feel the slightest flaw!

In terms of craftsmanship alone, all the weapons he used before were useless garbage, and the sword he used for the longest time and most handy was a flawed scrap!

"Oh ~ Immaculate!" Lekewin's face was full of intoxication, and his expression was as if he had seen a mountain of gold.

Anne wasn't surprised at all, in fact, she felt the same way every time she saw a weapon made by Rosen. She smiled, "These two muskets were made by Master Rosen himself, so they are naturally perfect. ”

Lekwin nodded excitedly and said, "Captain, please teach me how to use them!" ”

He couldn't wait to experience the power of these two muskets.

Anne smiled faintly: "Of course. In fact, you have to work very hard because you only have less than 2 days to study! ”

"Only 2 days? Why? Lekwin was stunned.

Anne said solemnly, "Because tomorrow night, Master Lawson will give a lecture on the creation of thunder and lightning in the square west of the city. At that time, the situation in the square will be very complicated. As far as I know, the wizard hunters of the Cult of Flame will also be coming to join in the fun. I don't want these hyenas to make trouble. ”

Lekewen's attention was immediately attracted by the content of the speech: "Create thunder and lightning? Did I hear it wrong? Isn't thunder a weapon of the gods? How could a mortal be created? ”

"No, you heard it right. But that's not what you should focus on, you should focus on your tasks! Anne was a little displeased.

Lekwin hurriedly assured, "Don't worry, Captain, I'm very familiar with wizard hunters. Even though I'm half a city away, I can smell the stench coming from them! ”

"Very good, I really appreciate your confidence. Time is of the essence, start training now! ”
