Elano, one of the deputy commanders of the Southern United Legion of the Ogordon Empire, frowned deeply, looked at the musket in his hand, and felt that this musket was not much different from the previous musket.

As if seeing his doubts, Griff, the deputy commander of the logistics corps standing beside him, explained: "Deputy Commander Elano, this musket is different from the previous arquebus and flintlock pistol, this musket, we call it a 'breech gun', because its bullets can be loaded from behind, and it has a 'magazine', and you only need to pull this bolt to throw the bullet and fill it. ”

"So what?"

As a traditional warrior, Elano didn't like these things, and the power of these things was fixed, and they didn't work as well as a bow and crossbow.

The world of Assatom is a world with supernatural powers, and muskets inspired by gunpowder are only suitable for use on low-end battlefields, but the monsters faced by the Southern United Legion are all from the Black Forest, these monsters have been infected by 'magic elements', and they all have supernatural powers, and they can't deal with those monsters with these muskets.

He couldn't understand why the Legion Commander asked this guy to transport these things, this guy - Griff, as the deputy head of the Logistics Corps, should have more and more important things to deal with, why did he come to the front?

Griff pushed his glasses, "Deputy Commander Elano, I think you should abandon your prejudices, I know that as a warrior, you don't like these guns, but you can't deny that these things can reduce the casualties of your soldiers." ”

Elano frowned and glanced down at the gun in his hand, it was difficult to understand how such a thing that could only be used on a low-end battlefield could reduce the casualties of soldiers on such a high-intensity battlefield.

Seeing Elano's expression, Griff knew that the stubborn deputy head couldn't believe what he said yet, so he couldn't help but add: "Actually, we have already tested the power of this firearm in the north, and it is also because we have tested it on orcs, so we will send these guns." ”

Elano raised his eyebrows and sneered, "It's not even a 'test subject'?"

Griff pushed down his glasses again, didn't say a word, and used silence to hide his embarrassment.

The people in their Imperial R&D Department always like to test the latest new weapons on the battlefield, and over time, although the civilians below don't know, the people who know their Imperial R&D Department don't have a good impression of them, especially these soldiers of the Southern United Legion!

If he could, Elano didn't want to deal with this deputy head of the logistics corps who didn't seem to have any strength at all, and was as thin as a pole, but this was their commander's order!

“...... Where's the bullet?" Elano said coldly, looking at Griff with an unkind face.

Although he didn't want to pay attention to this guy, it was the order of the regiment commander to let the soldiers equip this kind of firearm, and he had to obey the order.

But before the soldiers are equipped with this firearm, he has to test it himself, otherwise, these civilian officials will not understand anything, and when they get to the battlefield, if the guns do not exert their due strength, then the soldiers under his command will be very dangerous.

Hearing this, Griff was stunned, and then overjoyed.

He turned and climbed into the carriage and pulled out a magazine from the carriage, "Here!"

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Elano snatched the magazine from Griff's hand, looked left and right, and then looked at the firearm in his hand, and was embarrassed to find that he didn't know how to use it!

Forty-eight years ago, before he joined the Combined Legion, the Empire and the Dwarves were still using the 'breech gun', which had to be loaded from the muzzle, and he had used it twice, but because of its low power, he never used the musket again.

Holding a new firearm in his hand, the deputy commander's face was a little unpleasant, and he didn't want to show his ignorance in front of this guy Griff.

Griff waited for a while, and found that Elano didn't move, so he pouted and pointed to the loading port, "Hold the butt with your armpit, pull the bolt, aim one end of the magazine at the loading port, then press the other end of the magazine, and push the bullet forward." ”

Elano looked bad, but he followed Griff's instructions and loaded the bullet into his firearm.

Griff was not afraid of Elano, because he knew that Elano would beat him up at most, but would never kill him, and although he was also afraid of pain, it was not a big deal for him to be beaten.

He wanted to see this kind of gun in the hands of soldiers, this new type of gun was too wasteful to be used only against those orcs in the north, and it should be used to open up the Black Forest, so that the 'Griff Rifle' would be passed on to the world with his name of Griff!

The breech gun is someone else's idea, but on the basis of the breech gun, it is his idea to add a magazine, so this firearm is called the 'griff rifle'.

After looking at the gun in his hand for a while, Elano raised the gun and pointed it at the sky, so that even if he missed, he would not hurt anyone.

"Follow me. ”

Reluctantly, Elano led Griff and his men to the shooting range, while some of the soldiers were still training their bow and crossbow skills, and when they saw Elano here, they saluted him.

Elano waved his hand to signal them not to care, and then he himself stood in front of a target, raised his gun, and aimed it at the distant target in an unfamiliar way.

Seeing Elano's out-of-the-box appearance, Griff opened his mouth to say something, but he realized that it was 'Elano' and not the soldiers who let him scold, so he closed his mouth.

Anyway, it was Elano who used a non-standard shooting position, not himself.

"Bang!"

Elano pulled the trigger, and then saw the arrow target in the distance explode directly, which made his eyes widen.

"Sizzle......"

Elano lowered his head and carefully examined the firearm in his hand, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.

Then, he picked up the gun again and pulled the trigger, only to find that he could not pull it.

Tilting his head and thinking for a while, he remembered Griff's words, glanced at the 'bolt' next to him, and pulled the bolt, and he saw a 'bullet case' emitting white smoke pop out of the 'shell throwing window'.

After a few more moments of thought, Elano put the bolt back into place, then raised the gun again and fired another shot at the distant target.

"Bang!"

Then, the gunshots continued—

"Bang, bang, bang!"

After three successive shots, Elano pulled the trigger, only to find that no bullets had been fired.

Elano frowned and said in a deep voice, "Only five bullets?"

"Uh...... Griff hesitated, "yes, only five...... But isn't this kind of firearm already very good compared to the musket that could only shoot one shot at a time? And it's also more powerful......"

Looking at the firearm in his hand, Elano closed his eyes and let out a long breath, "Okay, it's good. ”

He also thinks it's good, this firearm is good.

"Where's the bullet?"

Then he looked at Griff and asked, "There can't be so many bullets, right?"

Because the rate of fire has become faster, then the bullets consumed will naturally increase, and this Elano knows it.

He knew how many bullets Griff had brought, and it was clearly written on the list, so he was a little worried about not having enough bullets.

Griff was stunned again, and then chuckled, "Deputy Head Elano, maybe you haven't been back to the interior of the empire for so many years, so you don't know very well, now our empire has a 'steam engine'!"
