The food problem in Venice has been successfully solved by whaling. Although many people are not very fond of meat, but at least better than no food at all.
With the solution of the problem, then the problem of the instability of the Venice region also began to decline.
Criminal action due to food seizure becomes drastically decreased. All thanks to Leo's choice to distribute the whale meat to the entire population.
Coupled with the cold this season, the meat won't rot quickly. To be a new source of food for the city's residents.
But there are still other problems. That is the possibility of an attack from the Red Skull bandit group that could attack at any time.
Leo realized that the movement of the levies troops commanded by Achibald would definitely be very inviting attention.
And those bandits will soon realize it. Prepare to attack and take over this city completely for themselves.
To face that problem....
"Consideration! Master Leo is coming! Line up neatly!" Shouted the officer of the military town hall, Luna. Although, right now Leo had elevated him to the captain of the female-only special division.
With that shout, the approximately 200 soldiers immediately lined up neatly with an almost perfect strapping attitude.
On the other hand, Leo is seen walking along with some of his personal soldiers carrying two wooden carts.
"Good attitude, all of you. Now get some rest." Said Leo asking them to change their alert attitude.
Not long after, they all immediately changed their attitude by putting both hands on the back of his waist.
But stick with a focused and serious gaze. Leo who saw it was a little remembered about the lesson of line up first when he was still in school.
Unknowingly, even a faint smile was painted on his face. A smile that can make anyone who sees it a little pierced by his heart because of his charming appearance.
"You guys have worked hard. I didn't think in just one week you could be trained like this. From my deepest heart, I say thank you." Speak Leo with a smile and a sweet look.
Makes everyone more and more misunderstood about this situation. Because Leo was so good to them even though he looked so cruel a moment ago.
"Thank you won't be enough. Today, I'm going to show you why you're going to be a special division that matters to this city." Said Leo while opening the white cloth cover on the wooden cart.
Although the snow continued to fall and the air temperature became colder with each passing day, their feelings were currently so warm after seeing what was before them.
A wooden stick, no.... What was before them was probably the strongest weapon a Soldier could use at this time.
The weapon can be called a musket. A firearm that used Mana stones as its main power and simple runes on the iron rods that were inside.
Not only as a long-range weapon, at the end of the Musket which is about 0.9 meters long there is a knife blade that is 25 cm long. Useful to help Musket users fight in close quarters if conditions force it.
In other words, not only was it stronger than an arrow, but it could also serve as a spear.
"I'm sure you've never seen this weapon before, so I'll give you an example." Said Leo as he picked up one of the weapons he called the Musket.
He then showed me how to use the weapon. Where first they need to put the Mana stone that has been made into a little round it to the back of the weapon and then lock it with the existing clamp.
"Then this is how you hold it." Said Leo while holding the Musket with both hands.
His left hand is placed on the front of the Musket, while his right hand holds the back with the index finger on the trigger.
"To make it easier to aim, you can put it on the side of your shoulder like this." Said Leo while exemplifying his position.
He then brought his face closer to the back of the weapon to aim. While one of his soldiers seems to put iron armor away from him.
"After you're sure your shot is right, just press the trigger." Said Leo.
Immediately....
The sound of a loud enough explosion rang out their ears all.
Simultaneously, a "Fire Lance" magic that had been modified by Leo was immediately activated. Firing that fire spear was extremely fast.
'Slicing!'
Not even a blink of an eye.
But from that distance, Leo managed to hit the armor and punched it right in his chest.
"About how to use it. You can practice as you please to improve the accuracy of the shot. But you need to know, this one Mana stone can fire 12 magic shots.
Due to the current state of being quite critical, each of you will only obtain 3 pieces of Mana stones for now. So watch it carefully. Aah, and also do not be thrown away if it runs out. I'll recharge the mana back." Obviously Leo is long.
Unfortunately, no one replied.
Not because they didn't want to or what, but they were still too surprised by the power of the weapon shown by Leo.
"Lord Leo.... Did you really give us this great weapon?! Anyways.... Can we really use it? Isn't that a magic weapon?" Ask Luna who was so confused.
"Aah, that's right too. Then you, come here and try shooting." Said Leo while pointing at one of the random people from the line.
"Eh? Me, Master?!"
"Yes, hurry up." Reply Leo briefly.
The girl immediately repeated what Leo had done before. Starting from putting Mana stones to aiming.
Everyone seemed to doubt that he could do the same with Leo before. After all, isn't the power of a magic weapon determined by the magic ability of its user?
That mindset is embedded in everyone. Makes them all doubt over the weapon.
'Wait, what spell should be mentioned?' Ask the girl just before shooting.
But in a panic, he accidentally pulled the trigger.
'By!!!'
A magic that was exactly like the one fired by Leo earlier shot towards that iron armor. It's just that because the girl lacks focus, the direction of the shot is not right at all.
So that only about the wall that is next to the iron armor.
Everyone was surprised too.
Their thinking that the weapon could only be used after a harsh magic practice soon disappeared.
"Did?" Ask the girl.
The same question is seen on everyone's face. Where they don't seem to believe what happened.
As if knowing the question within them, Leo answered.
"That's right. With this weapon, even the son of a farmer could surpass the strongest knight. That's why, you guys are going to be the first special division in this city.
By carrying this magic weapon, even a thousand bandits won't be a problem for you. Isn't that right?" Leo asked with a satisfied smile.
And with that....
Currently Leo managed to solve the security problems of Venice City. Only with 200 female warriors with the strongest weapons could there be in this world.
