When the soldiers of the First Army lined up on the city wall in an orderly line, Ferrin Sylt was really surprised.
As a former star knight in the Western Region, and familiar with knight training, he naturally knows how difficult it is to keep a group of people tidy while traveling. Whether it is a knight or a mercenary, when the lord is inspected, the number of people in a row will basically not exceed five, because the horizontal line is too long, and it is easy to stagger the front and back. It's a mess, it's really unsightly.
The more the number of soldiers, the more difficult it is to control, but the number of soldiers in this group exceeds a hundred, and there are more than ten people in both vertical and horizontal directions. With the uniform color clothing and the dazzling ribbon slanting across the chest, it looks like a moving piece. Square array in general.
This visual impact made Filming feel an unstoppable momentum - once the formation was maintained, the advantage of the large number of people would be fully reflected.
This can also be seen from the enthusiastic response of the people around him.
"Look at the third row, that's my child!"
"They walked so neatly!"
"Just like a person!"
"If the two armies face off against each other, I'm afraid the enemy will be frightened just by seeing this posture."
"Ha, I think I should have fled when I heard His Majesty's name."
"What's the name of this song?"
"I don't know, but... I feel like I'm full of power!"
"That's Miss Echo's magic effect."
"It's a pity that May couldn't see this scene with her own eyes," said Erin, holding Dawn Morning's arm. "If it were her, she would definitely be able to reproduce this exciting scene in the drama."
"She's pregnant, so of course she can't stand on the city wall and accompany you to blow the cold wind with you," Fei Lin smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry, there will definitely be opportunities in the future. I bet there will only be more and more events like this in the future."
Whether it is a knight review or an artillery exercise, it is a means for the lord to show his strength. The strength accumulated by Neverwinter City has exceeded everyone's imagination. There are still many territories that His Majesty can conquer. With such a team, it is not surprising that even the four major kingdoms will be brought under the rule. In order to convince people, such displays are naturally necessary.
"Dear, do you want to join this team too?" she asked suddenly.
"What?" Dawn morning was stunned.
"I can feel it," Irene smiled at him. "Your heart is beating so fast right now."
Is that so... Fei Lin breathed out a white breath, so it was, even if his father didn't say those words at the time, he probably wouldn't be a teacher for the rest of his life.
Sir Sylt was right, if he really liked books so much, he wouldn't have decided to become a knight, and he would have done it to the extreme and become a household name.
The army is the best place for him.
He wants to follow the First Army, become His Majesty's sword, and fight everywhere to expand the kingdom's territory to an unprecedented level.
Although His Majesty once said that the surrendered knights will no longer have the opportunity to take up arms, but according to his father, there are other ways to join the First Army.
I don't know what the staff of Your Majesty has developed now.
He watched the artillerymen entering the firing position, as if he saw his future self.
…
The music stopped.
This is an instruction to prepare to fire.
Vanner gave the order to aim at the target.
The six fortress guns placed on the widened area of the city wall dropped their barrels one after another, pointing directly at the cage 300 meters away—within this distance, the shells hardly fell, but flew toward the target in a straight line. Since the body of the demonic beast cannot necessarily trigger the fuze, the aiming point of the muzzle should be lower, and try to hit the shell into the snow under the cage.
"My dear, this guy is really ugly," Nelson whistled. The artillery group he was in charge was aiming at a large wolf-bear species. The latter probably had a premonition that something was wrong and struggled to break free from the shackles of the shackles. The huge body The cage shook.
"Be serious," Fanner frowned. "This is not normal training. Everyone is watching us."
"I feel a little nervous," Catpaw's voice was a little stiff, "I feel like peeing with so many people staring at me..."
This remark aroused the sympathy of many people.
"Yeah, it's even more uncomfortable than facing the charge of the Duke Knights."
"If you miss it, you will be laughed at by the whole city."
"Just follow the previous drill, stop talking nonsense!" Fanner glared at the cat's paw, "Remember not to confuse live ammunition with headless bullets, and if something goes wrong, just wait for the confinement. Now, pretend bomb!"
After entering the loading process, the scene suddenly became busy. No matter what their mood was, the long-term training had made them all memorize their movements, and they could complete the operation even with their eyes closed.
Compared with the 12-pounder field gun, the loading process of the 152mm fortress gun was much faster. After the six guns were all ready, the countdown of the iron axe came from the city head.
"Ten, nine, eight..."
The clamor of the audience also stopped abruptly, as if they were all waiting for the moment when fire and thunder burst from the muzzle.
Fanner's heart was unexpectedly calm, looking at the roaring evil beast in the cage, he thought of his younger brother who died of hunger and cold in his arms four years ago, thought of training day and night to eat one more egg, and thought of holding a long Spears, the days of bloody slaughter with evil beasts on the rough stone city wall.
The changes that have taken place in the past few years are vivid.
"Five, four, three..."
He was originally just an ordinary miner in the old district of Border Town. It was not until His Majesty said, "I'm optimistic about you, work hard", that he made up his mind to stay in the militia, in order to protect His Majesty's territory from evil beasts. war. But even so, he didn't expect to get to where he is today.
Fanner secretly turned his head and looked at the gray-haired man in the distance - Roland Wimbledon was the reason that made him calm. As long as His Majesty stood behind him, no matter what kind of enemy he faced, he would Will not take a step back.
"...Two, one! Fire!"
"Fire!"
Fanner waved his arm violently.
The six fortress cannons spewed long flames and blue smoke at the same time. The huge roar turned the snow on the wall into flying white mist. The distance of 300 meters was almost blinked. When people heard the deafening sound of artillery shelling. At that time, the cannonball had already landed in front of the hybrid demon beast.
The compressed fuze triggered the double-base gunpowder in the warhead, and six pillars of mud were instantly raised in the snow, tearing the wooden cage to shreds. Debris mingled with steaming flesh shot up to the sky, intestines and severed limbs scattered all over the place.
The crowd erupted into a frenzy of cheers.
