"Keep firing! Fast! Fast! Fast! Be careful to aim at the weak points of the enemy's armor and don't waste bullets!

The mage is targeting the knights in silver armor! Also, beware of the enemy's missed arrows!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The gunfire of the Type 2 rifle rang out on the battlefield, and bullets made of plaster and paper fibers and arrows with arrows removed flew in mid-air.

According to the rules of the exercise, the armor of ordinary knights was killed after two shots in the same part, while the new army was protected by leather armor, which was judged to have a certain combat effectiveness in addition to being hit by the arrows of the city guards in a fatal position.

From time to time, the charging knights were judged to be killed by the observers who had been transferred from logistics officers because the shields in their hands were not covered in time, and they lay bored on the ground and watched the exercise, which seemed to them to be a farce, continue.

"Grenade!"

The squad leader of the 1213 class saw the knights covering their torsos with thick shields, striding towards the stronghold of the house where their class was located, and was almost close to the thirty meters where the wooden horse was located, and immediately roared.

Several soldiers, who were in cover positions, hurriedly lowered their rifles, removed a grenade from their canvas belts, and with a trembling dispenser, lit the grenade with the allotted tinder tube, and threw it far away.

"Peng!" With a bang, the grenade that reduced most of the charge burst out into a cloud of white smoke, and the knights from the city guard system who were shrouded in it reluctantly put down their shields and long swords, lay on the ground and began to chat:

"What do you think this new army and exercises are for? I didn't feel anything but a mouthful of white ash!"

"Don't underestimate these new troops, although the new weapons in their hands are now fired with some white stones, and it doesn't hurt to hit us, but in the previous demonstrations in the palace, the projectiles similar to crossbow arrows fired by this new weapon can easily break through ordinary unenchanted armor.

In other words, if you were really at war with them, you would be dead by now!"

A knight of the palace guard, who was unfortunately judged to be seriously injured and incapacitated by the spell hit of the royal mage configured by Class 1213, lay on the ground and explained to his temporary subordinate beside him with a solemn expression.

He had watched the drill that took place in the Dragon Sleeping Palace, and naturally knew the true power of those pipes made of wood and steel that seemed useless.

"Are those iron pipes really that powerful?"

A Blue Army knight wearing the black plate armor of the city guards suddenly said in some surprise.

"That's right, it's because of the power of the new weapons that His Majesty sent us to participate in the "exercises" with the new army to test their combat effectiveness.

And there is a new type of weapon among them called the cannon, which can fire projectiles about the size of a fist, and the power of that weapon is difficult to resist even after enchantment, unless it is Adamantite armor!"

The knights of the palace guard explained earnestly to the fallen knights.

"Boom, boom!"

As if in response to the knight's words, three roars suddenly came from the adjacent exercise block not far to the west, which was the garrison of the Blue Army, that is, the wall made by the south gate of the Longmian Palace.

There, the main force of the Blue Army, consisting of the knights of the palace guards, the royal mages and the city guards, was stationed.

"Do you hear it, it's the movement of the cannon!"

The knight of the palace guard pointed to the west and said, with these thunderous sounds, the knights around him believed the words of the knight of the palace guard.

On the other side, at the scene where the artillery was fired, the 1st Artillery Company and the 2nd Artillery Company of the New Army had already set up artillery on their positions by the river about 800 meters away from the Blue Army garrison.

Although the fire was not live, the soldiers, under the supervision of the officers, carried out every step in strict and regular accordance with the requirements of the "80 caliber breech gun manual".

"Side observation points report that the shell missed the target and landed north!"

"Basic observation point report, the shell missed the target, and the landing point was north!"

"22 degrees west-north at 770, continue to shoot!"

The squad leader in charge of the artillery and the calculator in the artillery squad received the information provided by the mage, calculated again, re-reported the firing parameters, and several gunners immediately began to adjust the barrel angle and the elevation angle of the gun body.

"Launch!"

"Boom, boom! Boom, boom!"

The ten guns of the two artillery batteries roared at the same time, and a continuous thunderbolt rang out over the exercise ground, throwing paper shells near the rudimentary city wall hundreds of meters away, and white gypsum dust clouds bloomed on the ground.

"Side observation point report, missed target! The location is easterly!"

"Basic Observation Point Report, Missed Target! The location is easterly!"

"Good!"

Through the spell screen beside him, Lai Yin Rand saw that the First Artillery Company led by him had been trained during this period of time, and in the second round of artillery bombardment, he was able to adjust the error to a place that was only more than forty meters away from the target point, nodded with satisfaction, and continued to give orders:

"End the school firing and start the extended shelling!

」

"Boom, boom! Boom, boom!"

The knights standing on the wall looked at the scene with solemn faces, and the infantry under the city waited for orders.

When more than a dozen cannonballs struck a cloud of white ash on the same wall, it was announced that the city wall had been breached, and several royal mages softened the breached wall into dirt, and the attackers and defenders immediately began a fierce engagement.

This exercise continued until the evening, and when the four infantry companies that had conducted the exercise on the first day were finally familiar with the steps of the exercise, and after the last exercise had been successfully completed, the report of the exercise was also sent to Charling by Viscount Hart.

"Seventy-three killed, one hundred fifty-six wounded, ninety-two of the enemy, one hundred and thirty-five wounded? Viscount Hart, do you think the members of the Alliance will be happy with this outcome?"

Charlin briefly looked at the drill report of the first day and asked Viscount Hart.

"Of course, being able to fight the knights with the same number of new army soldiers is definitely a profitable business for us.

After all, no matter how you say it, a knight is not as easy to train as a new army soldier! And most importantly, they're holding their ground, aren't they?"

Viscount Hart said with some excitement, after being familiar with the procedures of the exercise and giving full play to the various skills and tactical applications taught in peacetime, the four infantry companies of the new army gave quite a brilliant performance to several guests watching the exercise in the last exercise today, which gave him quite sufficient confidence, but then Viscount Hart asked with some hesitation:

"But Sir Charlin, are you sure we need to include the 1st Artillery Company and the 2nd Artillery Company in the exercise plan to bombard the Dragon Sleeping Palace?

I can make some moves in advance, so that our soldiers can directly enter the Dragon Sleep Palace on the 30th day to control the situation!"

"Viscount Hart, recently the officers in the 1st Guards Division and the 2nd Guards Division who are inclined to our enlightened faction have reported to Her Royal Highness that there have been many noble officers who support the conservatives recently, such as the general of the 2nd Guards Division, Bonofor Barlow, who has made unusual movements.

And in the past few days, the Eugene family has found some very interesting things, the sewers of the imperial capital have recently appeared some anomalies, and they have found out that it seems to be some mysterious evil mages and gray organizations to make the situation, and the background of those gray organizations has been confirmed to be the conservative group of nobles.

I have some suspicions that the conservatives are also carrying out some kind of plan, and although we are strong enough to control the Dragon Sleeping Palace, we must also guard against the unexpected."

Xia Lin handed over several intelligence documents he had recently received to Viscount Hart for him to look at in detail.

Through these clues, Xia Lin had a faint premonition in his heart, that is, the conservatives were also carrying out some kind of ulterior plan, but the conservatives did it

Yu Xia Lin was incomprehensible.

After all, in Charlin's opinion, Emperor Plitt would soon appoint Prince Fairmode as the crown prince, and no matter what they thought, they didn't need to make any big moves like the enlightened faction to save the situation.

"I know the Bonofo of the Barlow family, he undoubtedly supports Prince Fairmode, and it is normal for him to make some changes in this situation.

But the sewers ...... Could it be that the conservatives are here to transport troops through the sewers?"

After reading these two intelligence documents, Viscount Hart rubbed his chin and said to Xia Lin in a joking tone.
