NOVEL NEXT Chapter 469: Mounted Shooting_2
"Hmm." Aseti nodded, indicating he understood.
Fang Hao continued, "I have 100 of these firearms in my possession. I plan to equip your Lionheart Knights with them. What do you think?"
The Human Clan possesses the racial trait 'learning'.
Through practice and usage, they can master the way of weaponry, integrating built-up skills into their attributes.
This flexibility allows the human soldiers to adapt to various combinations of skills.
A cavalry can also use long-range weapons. Equipped with a rifle, they can become proficient in its use through practice.
"That's workable, although the effect with only 100 of these won't be substantial," Aseti said after some thought.
Fang Hao knew this too, but unfortunately, he couldn't purchase more rifles.
Moreover, the dwarves wouldn't sell these weapons on a large scale.
"I have already arranged for Bellerga to make replicas. Given some time, we should be able to manufacture these weapons ourselves, then we can equip them in large quantities," Fang Hao continued.
"Alright, then I'll get started immediately, leading the cavalry to familiarize themselves with these firearms, and apply them as soon as possible in live combat," Aseti responded.
"Good, I will take you to Lyss City later. First, you should train the Lionheart Knights there. Be mindful of the power of these firearms. Train away from the city, so as not to hurt civilians."
"As you command, Sir!"
After explaining his expectations to Aseti, taking 107 rifles and ammunition,
he used demon teleportation to send Aseti directly to Lyss City.
They had the weapons, but proficiency would still require extensive training.
After he sent Aseti over, he returned to the main city.
Fang Hao then continued to inform Zhang Bin, Dong Jiayue and others from his territory that he would be away for some time.
Anything urgent, they could contact him privately via messaging.
In times of danger, they should prioritize their safety, and wait for him to arrange for rescue.
As for the other original cities, Fang Hao had already informed them in the past two days.
They should each continue to patrol the city as per the plan. If anything happened, they should use the Sound-transmitting Shell to inform him.
Once every detail had been taken care of,
Fang Hao returned to his room to rest.
...
Three days later, early in the morning.
Today was the day Rebecca informed him they would set off.
Fang Hao got up early.
Eira helped Fang Hao get dressed, her eyes a little red.
Knewing Fang Hao would be away for a while, Eira was reluctant to part with him.
He gently patted her small head and said, "I'm only going out for a while, I'll be back soon."
"Hmm, you must be careful out there, my lord. It's getting cold, remember to keep warm," Eira advised.
"I know! You and others should also focus on your training to become a hero sooner," Fang Hao also gently replied.
"We will work hard, my lord. When you're alone out there, remember to think of Eira."
Eira hugged Fang Hao tightly, nuzzling her small head in his chest.
"Hmm, I will."
Bang!
At this intimate moment, the bedroom door was once again pushed open.
"Fang Hao, are you up? It's time to leave," Anjia barged in.
Seeing Fang Hao and Eira in an embrace, she quickly closed the door again, "Carry on..."
Eira blushed and got up from Fang Hao's arms.
The two of them walked out of the room.
After breakfast,
outside the city lord's mansion, Demitrija, Anjia, and the Blackfoot Cat - Lorrey, were already waiting.
Lorrey had reached Tier 9, close to Tier 10 - the threshold to become a hero.
The Blackfoot Cat did have excellent scouting abilities, so Fang Hao planned to keep her close in hopes of giving her the opportunity to advance to Tier 10 and become a hero.
Only these few people would accompany him from the main city.
The rest of the skeleton heroes, along with maids and Earth Spirit daughters, would remain in the main city.
They would carry on their usual work.
After reiterating instructions to Meatfist and the other skeleton heroes, and quietly comforting Eira a bit,
Fang Hao released the demon teleportation, taking a few people directly into the central hall of Lyss City.
A group of maids were already waiting in the hall.
Seeing Fang Hao and the others emerge from the magical array, a maid quickly approached and said, "My Lord, the madam is waiting for you in the backyard. Please follow me."
Today was the day they set off.
Rebecca naturally started preparations early.
Upon arriving at the city lord's mansion's backyard,
he saw bustling servants and soldiers, carrying supplies, making final preparations.
Rebecca, Aseti, and Rolana, whom he hadn't seen for several days, as well as Lyss City's only hero, Haber, were waiting there.
Haber held a presidential position within Lyss City.
However, his loyalty lay with Rebecca, not with Fang Hao.
Seeing Fang Hao approaching with his people, Rebecca and the others also broke into a smile.
"I thought you would oversleep!" Rebecca teased with a smile.
"For something this important, I wouldn't be late," Fang Hao walked over.
Rebecca continued, "While we're gone, I've asked Rolana to manage the city, and Haber to lead the army."
Rolana?
Fang Hao glanced at Rolana, slightly perplexed by this decision.
Rolana certainly wouldn't be able to accompany Rebecca to Silver Wing City, the main city of the Church.
Having a Blood Clan member there would surely stir up feuds.
But entrusting her with managing the city, Fang Hao wasn't certain this decision was right.
Rolana was a Dark Gold-level hero, surely capable of guarding one side of the city.
