The New Civilization of Witches

Chapter 108: Echo Witch (Part 1)

The Demon Moon had ended two weeks ago, and the snow had finally turned into a river that flowed into the Shishui River.

The pure white landscape 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 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 securely attached.

This was His Majesty's latest invention, but compared to the automatic operating machine and the modified snow powder, this new invention seemed to be a bit too simple.

As he for the first time takes the new weapon into his hands, Carter soon finds out that it is 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 is very impossible to slash with a – weapon

the blade was too short, if it had to be bent, the sword would instantly break. There is almost no end to talk about while the other end is only as thick as a 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 knights, it was completely unqualified to be used as a weapon and a huge waste of pig iron 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 very 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 grooves with right angles at the ends, as long as two small pieces of iron in the bayonet are mounted into the groove and the bayonet is rotated half around the barrel then the bayonet will become fixed.

Thanks to this concept, grooves and pieces of iron do not need to fit, if they are a bit too loose, the shooter simply inserts a few sheets of paper between two pieces of iron and a groove, if a bit too loose, the shooter simply inserts a few pieces of paper between the two pieces of iron and a groove, and the,

and if it fits, then he has to turn the bayonet. If they don't have paper, the leaves of the tree are fine, too.

"Put the bayonet in the gun!"

Hearing those keywords, the shooting team took out a bayonet from their bag, and placed it in the barrel of the weapon –

to date they have only been able to produce forty new weapons and their support bags.

So soldiers who do not receive new weapons should put a short stick on their 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 attached.

According to His Majesty's words, the bayonet should only be used as a last resort.

He did not want his men to start their own melee combat 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 ranks of trainees.

Although he had previously claimed to be only a hunter, Carter could tell from his skills that the man had actually received special combat training before.

His skills were 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, after seeing the prototype, Carter was once again instantly filled with confidence. After all, the bayonet was none other than the equivalent of a short spear.

Moreover, due to its special blade, 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 knights let all the soldiers march and then started teaching them the most suitable method to stab –

place one foot in front of the other, bend the knees and then push their hands forward with their maximum strength.

This kind of repetitive training method was extremely boring. So Carter was amazed that everyone so 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 decent group of trainees.

When Carter shouted the order, they would immediately take action, and he had to admit that they were even more trying in training than the bodyguards he had trained before.

Of course, if he gave them a sword, or said it using His Majesty's words, if he gave them

"cold weapon", he could still defeat them with a stick in just three blows. But in terms of their determination, 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.

However, Carter did not know that the witch would be so 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 mind and let the soldiers stand up, letting them greet the 4th Prince respectfully.

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

“Thank you for your efforts,”

receiving their greeting, Roland nodded, and walked over 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 out to be slightly wrong, he would be able to pull the Prince into the fog.

But then they discovered that the one who rushed out was actually the Iron Axe.

And moreover, he did not run to the Prince, but to the unknown witch, directly kneeling in front of him.

Not a normal Royal person kneeling on one knee, no, he threw his entire body flat to the ground, with his head buried deep between his arms,

"Leader of my Clan!"

With this, the training of the weapons team was forcibly halted.

"First tell me, what happened?"

Back at Castle Hall, Carter, Echo, and Iron Axe stood in succession, 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 seeing the Clan Leader, even if you see the King, you should not be out of line.

This is the only requirement, there will always be time to report later.

From the start Roland had a very good impression of Iron Axe, but with his actions today, he could only sigh.

So his final analysis was, it seemed like the quality of his inner culture was unable to keep up with his practical talent, he clearly did 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 nervously, and then began to speak,

"I grew up in Ironsand City and swore my loyalty and devotion to the Osha Clan and the new Silver Moon Clan Leader."

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

Echo quickly disagreed. “No, it is,” reply Iron Axe,

“Your father and brother are dead, according to Osha's custom, 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, first let Iron Axe finish the story."

"I will obey you until the end of my life, Your Majesty." … The story is not complicated;

Roland was quickly able to grasp the general idea behind what was happening.

Echo was originally a member of the Iron Sand City Osha Clan.

His old name was Silver Moon, and his father was the Clan Leader of the Osha Clan.

The people of the Sand Country do not have an easy life.

Ironsand City is only able to accommodate a limited population, so every three years, it is,

each clan had to take part in a holy duel, and the six victorious clans would receive the right to stay in the city, while the other clans stayed outside.

city, or go together to the Green Sea. These places are dangerous places to live in,

although they offered water, but the demonic beasts and sandstorms would cause a great threat to the Sand People.

So during each Sacred Duel, the warriors from the various clans would strive hard to win.
