Chapter 481: Chapter 474: Test Firing Session

For the traditional armies of the Otherworld, there are almost no weapons that can reach beyond five hundred meters. However, for the Earth’s military, five hundred meters is just a moderate distance. Whether it’s with artillery or machine guns, they can cover enemies in this zone.

This time Baiyue didn’t aim as quickly as if she was in a huff. She simultaneously calculated and adjusted her aim from time to time to ensure her accuracy.

After extensive aiming, Baiyue pulled the trigger. With the gunshot, a great amount of dust was stirred up in the distance. She then pulled back on the bolt and gestured for the others to inspect the damage.

Dumbfounded, the translator commanded the elf in charge of the arena to check. Very soon, the elf who had run to the mound let out a loud cheer, holding the coin shot through by the bullet, excitedly running back.

With her cheer, the square was once again filled with cheers. The elf rushed to the stands and handed the coin, shot through by a bullet from five hundred meters away, to the Queen’s attendant. The Queen and the nobles marveled at it.

At this point, even the most stubborn nobles seemed to find no reason to refute that Earth’s firearms were superior to elf weapons. So, at Cheng Ziang’s suggestion, a simple shooting range was set up for the nobles to experience shooting themselves.

After a while, the airboat from the headquarters should be able to arrive carrying a large amount of supplies, enough to ensure the ammunition supply of the Advance Team. So, Cheng Ziang wasn’t too worried about the scarcity of ammunition and used up the Advance Team’s spare bullets.

Since the Advance Team mainly used Breaking Method bullets, Cheng Ziang directly used the confiscated Rune Armor as targets for the nobles to experience the feeling of Breaking Armor.

The first ones to shoot were captured weapons. These bolt-action rifles, old-fashioned semi-automatic rifles, and light machine guns had a heavy recoil, which the nobles were not accustomed to.

Although Ilanadale is a quasi-matriarchal society, most of these nobles were men, at a male to female ratio of about six to four. Even though they were men, they all had delicate skin and seemed like fresh meat, struggling with these brutish weapons.

On the other hand, the female elves who practiced martial arts for a long time seemed quite addicted to great recoil. They watched the bullets burst through the Rune Armor opposite them, and they mysteriously felt a sense of achievement when they were heavily pushed back by the recoil.

After trying out the captured firearms, it was time for the firearms of the Advance Team. Their weapons were mostly equipped with advanced muzzle brakes, which could minimize the recoil, and they had been manually corrected, so despite firing 7.62-caliber bullets, the shooting experience was indeed quite good.

Nobles who were not used to old-style firearms were very interested in these modern firearms of the Advance Team. Under Hu Daoke’s guidance, a noble tested a light machine gun, the continuous gunfire, and the rapid-fire hitting the distant Rune Armor, giving people a feeling of unmatched pleasure.

The Elf Race was indeed a nation of soldiers, and all the nobles participating in the shooting soon became addicted to this violent way, scrambling to shoot. Out of necessity, Cheng Ziang had to limit the shooting, stating that each person could only shoot one magazine, otherwise with their reckless shooting, the Advance Team would go bankrupt sooner or later.

Encouraged by Nina, the queen also tried shooting. She used the AK rifle of her grandson Luo’er. When the queen was young, she was also a part of the army and she also adored such violent aesthetics.

After a few rounds of shooting, all the nobles and the queen unanimously believed that firearms would be very helpful for Ilanadale’s defense efforts and should be strongly introduced. However, they were lucky, since they didn’t need to negotiate with Blaiqi’s businessmen to buy these weapons, as the headquarters would deliver them directly.

Without intermediaries making a profit, Ilanadale could get relatively good weapons at a lower price. More importantly, similar to their cooperation with Princess Melia, the headquarters’ first few batches of weapons and ammunition were essentially given out for free to increase popularity. It would only be after Ilanadale was entirely reliant on Earth’s weapons that they would start considering the cost factor.

It is said that the headquarters has devoted considerable resources to this cooperation, not only preparing large quantities of weapons and ammunition, but also many new technologies for improving agriculture and industry in Ilanadale. With the endorsements of Nina and Luo’er, Ilanadale’s popularity with the headquarters was topped up right from the beginning. Unlike with Princess Melia’s cautious experiments, they made a bold and extravagant move.

Once this cooperation is confirmed, the headquarters will send people for a comprehensive modernization of Ilanadale, including military, agriculture, and industry, striving to make Ilanadale an important springboard for the headquarters in the south.

While a lively contest was going on in the square, a petite figure sneaked up to the base of the pyramid and slipped inside while no one was looking.

Luo’er was still lying in the water tank, still unconscious. But considering that his wounds were mainly located on his chest, the priest wrapped a scarf around his lower half to prevent any embarrassment.

As soon as Luoya stepped inside the pyramid, she bumped into the priest. He was a gentle male elf, rumored to be four to five hundred years old, but he still looked like a young man in his twenties.

Ignoring the bustling crowd outside, he patiently stayed inside, checking on Luo’er’s condition from time to time.

"Who are you?" Seeing Luoya come in, the priest was taken aback and then asked vigilantly.

"I, I, I came to see my brother..." Luoya stuttered, her head down.

"Oh, so you’re the little princess." The priest thought for a moment and then revealed a gentle smile, showing no prejudice against the half-elf princess before him.

"Ah, I am not any princess!" Hearing his words, Luoya immediately blushed and waved her hands relentlessly.

"Then how should I address you?" asked the priest with a smile.

"I’m called No... Luoya..." Luoya stammered. She always had trouble distinguishing between N and L.

"Luoya, so Luo’er is your brother?" the priest asked.

"Yes, yes he is!" Luoya hesitantly nodded in confirmation.

"Do you want to see him?" the priest asked.

"No, can’t I?" Luoya asked.

"Of course you can, please feel free!" The priest nodded and gave a warm smile.

He did not stop Luoya, he only turned to the entrance after she had gone inside, looking out at the bustling crowd in the distance. Because he knew, Luoya definitely had something she wanted to say to her brother.

Since Cheng Ziang’s reprimand last time, Luoya finally mustered the courage to converse with the Olavia Sisters. What she learned was exactly as Cheng Ziang had mentioned. The Olavia Sisters, who were rescued by Luo’er, worshipped him greatly. Every time they mentioned him, their faces would light up with gratified smiles. That’s why Luoya wanted to see him, as it would make her feel better.
