The Release That Witch

The Release That Witch
Chapters 108's


The Month of the Demons had ended two weeks ago, and the snow had finally turned into a stream that flowed into the Redwater River.


The stainless white scene slowly faded away, and the trees on both sides began to sprout again, becoming green once again.


The land to the east of Border Town was Anna's land that had been cleared of trees and snow, and therefore had now been converted by Her Majesty into a temporary training ground for the First Army.


At the training ground, Carter held the gun and checked if the bayonet was safely installed.


This was His Majesty's latest invention, but compared to the automatic operating machine and the modified snow powder, this new invention seemed a little too simple. When he first took the new weapon into his hands, Carter immediately knew that it was not a qualified weapon.


In short, it was just a sharp iron triangle, with a centerline as its base, which had two small pieces of iron pointing downwards. Despite having a sharp tip, it was completely impossible to slash with a weapon - the blade was too short, if it had to be bent, it would break immediately. There is almost no tip to talk about while the other end is only as thick as around the thumb. Even if he could attack the enemy, if he tried to slash horizontally, Carter could not tell if he could even cut off the enemy's clothes.


This weapon has only one use, namely stabbing. And even before it could be used it still had to be connected to a gun. Used by itself, even a dagger would be a better weapon.


In the eyes of the knights, it was completely unqualified to be used as a weapon and a large coarse iron waste to create such a weapon with just one type of attack. If a blacksmith in his territory dared to make such a weapon, he would tie the man up and give him one hard blow.


But even if it was a bad weapon, Carter could still see His Majesty's originality and his passion for all the details. For example, the design of the connection between the gun and the bayonet. The mouth of the barrel has two indentations with a right angle at the end, as long as two small pieces of iron on the bayonet are mounted into the indentation and the bayonet is rotated half around the barrel then the bayonet will be attached. Thanks to this concept, grooves and pieces of iron do not need to fit perfectly, if they are a little too loose, the shooter can insert several sheets of paper between two pieces of iron and a groove, and if they fit better, only after that did he have to turn the bayonet. If they did not have any paper, the leaves of the tree would also be fine.


"Put the bayonet in the gun!"


Hearing his key words, the team took out a bayonet from his bag, and put it in the barrel of a gun - until now they had only been able to produce forty new weapons along with his support bag. So a soldier who does not receive a new weapon should put a short stick on his weapon.


This kind of action was almost trained all morning, and now most of the soldiers only needed to adjust the bayonet two to three times until it was fixed. According to His Majesty's words, the bayonet was only used as a last resort. He did not want his men to start their own melee attacks with bayonets. Carter disagreed with this statement, as long as a man did not personally stab a weapon at the enemy, they would still be considered children. Only if they saw their first blood, would they turn from ordinary miners and hunters into soldiers.


Iron Axe also stood among the line of trainees. Although he had previously claimed to be only a hunter, Carter could see that the man had actually received special combat training before. His skill was no worse than the other knight skills.


His Majesty had asked Carter to teach the soldiers how to properly use the new weapon. After receiving this order, Carter felt a little guilty. Bayonet was a kind of weapon he had never seen before, so there was no way he would not know how to use it.


However, upon seeing the prototype, Carter was once again immediately filled with confidence. After all, the bayonet was none other than the equivalent of a short spear. Moreover, because of the blade in particular, it was much easier to use than a spear.


Due to its unique blade design, the bayonet training method has also become very special. They do not need to learn to divide, lift, block or sweep with a bayonet, they only need to practice one movement, piercing. So the knight let all the soldiers line up and then began teaching them the most suitable method of piercing - putting one foot in front of the other, he said, bend the knees and then push their arms forward with their maximum strength.


This kind of repetitive training method was extremely boring. So Carter was amazed that everyone meticulously completed this kind of exercise. Before winter, they were all still a bunch of weak and lazy civilians, but now they behaved like a bunch of good trainees. When Carter shouted the order, they would immediately take action, and he had to admit that they were even trying harder in training than the bodyguards he had previously trained. Of course, if he gave them a sword, or said it using His Majesty's words, if he gave them a "cold weapon", he could still defeat them with a stick in just three blows. But in terms of their will, their progress was already worthy of recognition.


After an hour of training, Carter let the shooting team sit down and gave them a break. At this time His Highness the Prince also appeared at the training ground, followed by a woman wearing a veil. This did not surprise Knight. Earlier, at the beginning of the training, His Majesty had told him earlier, that during today's practice they would be assisted by a magician.


However, Carter did not know that the witch would be that tall, as far as she could determine with her eyes, she was almost as tall as His Majesty. But anyway she remains beautiful and handsome, Carter thought. Then he returned from his thoughts and let the soldiers stand, letting them greet the 4th Prince with reverence.


"Your majesty!" The soldiers shouted and raised their hands.


"Thank you for your efforts," receiving their greetings Roland nodded, and walked around because he also wanted to talk to just Carter alone. But at this moment a soldier suddenly rushed towards the Prince. Finding this Carter frowned, placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and took a step forward, placing the Prince behind himself. Nightingale even more quickly reacted, her hand emerging from the mist and grabbing onto Roland's arm. As long as the situation turned a little wrong, he would be able to pull the Prince into the fog.


And moreover, he did not run to the Prince, but rather to the unknown witch, immediately kneeling in front of him. It wasn't the Kingdom's normal knees kneeling on one knee, no, he dropped his entire body to the ground, with his head buried deeply between his arms, "My Clan Leader!"


With this, the training of the weapons team came to a halt.

"First tell me, what happened?"


Back at Castle Hall, Carter, Echo, and Iron Axe stood in a march, while Roland sat in the position of Lord, he asked clearly dissatisfiedly.


Discipline, you must always maintain discipline! This is one of the most important rules in the militia and now the army must also have the same iron discipline! Not to mention about seeing the Clan Leader, even if you see the King, you should not move even a single finger out of line. This is the only condition, there will always be time to report later.


From the start Roland had a very good impression of the Iron Axe, but with his actions today, he could only sigh. So his final analysis is, it seems that the quality of his inner culture cannot follow his practical talents, he clearly does not understand the meaning of the word discipline.


"Your Majesty," Iron Axe could not help but wait any longer. He wanted to kneel down, showing his regret. But when he was already half on his knees, he was stopped by Roland.


"Stand up straight and talk!"


'Yes! "Iron Axe gulped, and then started talking," I grew up in Ironsand City and swore loyalty and loyalty to the Osha Clan and the new Silver Moon Clan Leader. "


"No, Kabago, I'm not the Clan Leader ..." Echo quickly disagreed.


"No, you," replied the Iron Axe, "Your father and brother are dead, in accordance with Osha customs, since their death you became the Clan Leader of our Osha Clan. When I heard that you were sold to the Port of Clearwater I immediately went there, but I could not find you, I thought you had.


"But I -"


Roland interrupted Echo, "One by one, let Iron Axe finish the story."


"I will obey you until the end of my life, Your Majesty."


...


The story was not complicated; roland was quickly able to grasp the general idea behind what was happening.


Echo was originally a member of the Ironsand City Osha Clan. His previous name was Silver Moon, and his father was the Clan Leader of the Osha Clan.


The people in the Sand Country did not have an easy life. The city of Ironsand was only able to accommodate a limited population, so every three years, every clan had to take part in a holy duel, and the six victorious clans would receive the right to live in the city, the report said, while the other clans stayed outside of the city, or went together to the Green Sea. These places were dangerous places to live in, even though they offered water, but demonic beasts and sandstorms would cause a great threat to the Sand people. So during each Holy Duel, the soldiers of the various clans would not spare any effort to win.
