"Oh!
I forgot to remind you first. ”Owen held his forehead and had to explain to them, "Those lizardmen are our companions, and they are also involved in the battle against the undead. ”"Take all your swords back, don't make such a fuss!""
Didn't you see those lizardmen training with the soldiers?"
This shows that they do not pose any threat to humanity. ”"Sorry, we overreacted."
The two Templars were ashamed to withdraw their swords from their waists."
Marquis Eisen, it's amazing that you can let lizardmen and humans fight against the undead monsters together and achieve harmony between the two races!"
Bray looked at Owen with more admiration, "Excuse me, how did you do that?"
”He was a staunch newcomer, and the scene in front of him was undoubtedly what the newcomer wanted to see, but he didn't expect to see it in this remote town."
It's nothing, it's just a deal.""
Deal?"
Bray was stunned.Owen smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more on this topic, but gestured to the training ground in front of him."
Let's go over."
Seeing the lord coming, a knight in charge of training hurried to meet him.Noticing the three Templars on the side, a look of surprise flashed across his face, but he quickly hid it.Legends about the Templars were popular in knightly circles, and many ordinary knights worshipped them for this, including Marpel."
Lord Marquis."
The knight made a standard knightly salute."
You go back and continue to train them."
Owen waved his hand, "The Templars and I will take a look at the side." ”"Yes!"
Upon his return, the knight seemed to be full of energy, and his training requirements for the militia became stricter.On the training grounds, a group of militiamen lined up for their daily routine, including those who had just attended the funeral."
These militias are the main reason why we can keep the undead at bay."
Owen said proudly.After a pause, he added, "As for powerful weapons, they will not be used lightly unless they have to. ”"Militia?!"
Bray's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "Are you saying that they were civilians who couldn't even hold a sword?"
That's impossible!
”"I know you're not going to believe it, but it's the truth."
Owen said calmly, "We have successfully blocked two waves of large-scale attacks, and without the support of your Templars, nor have we recruited a single adventurer from the Eastrise Fortress, relying only on the strength of the Frontier Town. ”Unexpectedly, Owen really sent his people to the front line to fight against the undead monsters, and he succeeded, which is what Bray found most incredible.Turning his head to look at the group of militiamen, Bray found that their practice of bayonet guns was clear and uniform.Everyone is in a very good spirit, with a face full of focus and confidence.This group of militia is highly disciplined and prohibitive, and it is completely different from the civilian population that Bray remembers to be.It doesn't seem impossible to say that they blocked the undead monsters.Glancing at the end of the line, Bray suddenly noticed that in the open space on the other side, there were some people sitting around the ground, unsure of what they were messing with."
What are those people doing?"
Knowing that he was asking about a member of the shooting team, Owen explained, "They're making paper-shelled buckshot. ”After every major battle, paper shell bullets are depleted to the point where there is very little left.If you don't hurry up and replenish it, you'll have to use the same inefficient reload method as before in the next battle."
Paper buckshot?"
Bray looked confused."
With a musket, it can exert incredible power, do you want to see it?"
And what is a musket?
Bray was suddenly curious: "Then let me see and see." ”Arriving at the shooting range, Owen instructed a member of the shooting team to demonstrate the power of the musket to the Templars.The hunter who had been called came over, quickly reloaded, picked up his musket, and aimed at a target ten meters in front of him.Before the shooting, despite Owen's warning, Bray and the others were startled by the loud gunshot.Seeing the steel plate with holes in the target, all three of them showed frightened expressions.This musket is too powerful!
Duke Eddie had never heard of it at all, but it was so powerful that it could even pose a threat to the Templars.Thinking of this, Bray couldn't help but feel a chill rise from the bottom of his heart."
This ......" he didn't know what to say for a while."
There aren't many muskets yet, but they're already in mass production.Soon, we will be able to assemble a musket unit, which is a source of confidence that I will be able to deal with a larger attack in the later stages. ”A musket unit?!
Bray gasped, and finally understood why Owen was so confident."
Marquis Eisen, I now have complete confidence that you can lead Frontier Town to victory over the undead monsters."
Next, Bray also went to check the gaps in the city wall that had been repaired, and personally confirmed the solidity of the lower city wall, and the quality was very reliable.Eventually, the group climbed the city wall and walked along.Looking at the north, which was still calm for the time being, Bray felt a little melancholy."
Marquis Eisen, seeing that preparations for the next round of battles are being carried out in an orderly manner here, I feel for the first time that we are dispensable.""
Don't say that, undead monsters are enemies of all mankind, and the more power you have to deal with them, the better.With the support of the Templars, I think everyone's morale will be even higher. ”Owen said."
You're right!
I need to hurry back to Dongsheng Fortress and bring all the second team over to support you with all my might. ”With that said, Bray couldn't wait to set off now to make up for the time wasted before."
Wait, don't be in such a hurry."
Owen hurriedly stopped him, "It's not early now, you can rest for the night and set off tomorrow morning." ”"That's right."
If he could, Owen would have wanted to send a ship south so that the Templars could be brought over quickly.Unfortunately, the border town did not have a single ship subordinate to the lord.The cost of a ship, not only the ship itself, but also the hiring fee of a captain and a group of sailors, and the man and the ship are bound together.That's a lot of money.The financial revenue of the border town is not much, and it has to buy a large amount of grain every year, and it is impossible to maintain the cost of the ship, so it is better to let the merchants drive the cargo ships to load the goods themselves.Leaving the northern wall, Bray said goodbye to Owen and led the two of his team to the church, where Bishop Flynn arranged a place to stay.Of course, when Bishop Flynn saw Bray, he unceremoniously blamed him for coming so slowly, and for believing Duke Eddie's lies.
