Chapter 125 Experimental Gun (Part 2)
"call!"
After Anna covered her ears, Gervis turned around, put his left foot forward, put his right foot back and slightly bent it, then turned sideways and raised his musket, aiming at the leather armor more than 40 meters away.
Bang!
When Gervis aimed at the leather armor through the crosshairs on the gun barrel, he slowly pulled the trigger. As Gervis pulled the trigger, the match fixed on the dragon head (similar to the firing pin of a pistol) fell off and directly ignited the gunpowder on the firing port. There was a bang of a gunshot, accompanied by a puff of white smoke, and a huge recoil came from the musket. However, such a small force had no effect on Gervis, who had the strength of a bronze. Gervis's body did not move even a little bit. Under the huge thrust, the lead bullet quickly shot out of the barrel and flew away.
puff
In the blink of an eye, before the crowd could react, a muffled sound was heard in the distance. The leather armor on the tree stump seemed to have suffered a huge impact and began to shake instantly. When the shaking stopped, a hole was revealed on the leather armor.
"How...how...how did you do this?"
Apart from Gervis's five senses, Brian's eyesight was the best among those present. He was a mid-level bronze knight. Although he was not good at actual combat, his five senses had been improved. He could see very clearly the appearance of the leather armor being hit by the lead bullet in the distance. He asked with a stammer in disbelief.
“Is this… divine power?”
After Brian spoke, Ike and the ten guards also reacted, looking at the distance in astonishment. Although they could not see the details clearly, they saw the leather armor in the distance shaking violently after the gunshot.
Gervis was standing right next to them, but his influence could reach more than 40 meters away, causing their three perspectives to be strongly impacted again, even more so than the last time.
After all, it was Gervis who went there personally last time and caused it. Although they didn't understand the reason, there were so many strange things in this world that they would only think that they were inexperienced. This time, Gervis didn't get any closer to that place, and nothing like an arrow flew by during the whole process. The leather armor over there seemed to be moving on its own.
"Haha, not bad, let's go over and take a look first!"
Gervis did not answer Brian's question immediately. He wiped the rifle in his hand with satisfaction, patted Brian on the shoulder, and then led the way over there.
Gervis originally thought that there was a high probability that the first shot would miss the target, but what he didn't expect was that the barrel of the musket was straight to such an extent that there was no deviation. With his extraordinary five senses, the first shot hit the leather armor, which was only 10 centimeters away from where he had aimed. This made him very happy.
He had read information on the Internet before that primitive firearms without rifling, such as muskets, would become less accurate the farther away they were. Sometimes it was all based on luck. Whether or not you could hit the enemy was like winning the lottery. It all depended on who was more unlucky.
What Gervis didn't know was that the reason why his musket was so accurate was not only because of Bernard's good craftsmanship, but also because he loaded too much gunpowder. The gunpowder he loaded was more than twice the amount of gunpowder loaded in ancient times on Earth. If his musket was not forged with mithril, it would definitely explode at the moment of firing, hitting him in the face.
Leading everyone to the wooden stake, Gervis took off his leather armor, only to see that the front of the armor had been pierced, leaving a hole as wide as a thumb.
When the bullet hit the leather armor, it happened to hit a piece of iron sheet. The bullet directly penetrated the iron sheet and then penetrated the inner layer of leather with the same force, and directly drilled into the wooden stake used to fix the leather armor.
After showing the leather armor to Brian and others for inspection, Gervis took out a small knife and began to dig in the hole on the wooden stake. After digging five or six centimeters, Gervis finally dug out the only remaining bullet. At this moment, the bullet had been completely deformed, from the original round bead into a thin layer of small shrapnel.
“Could it really be divine power? There’s actually a hole in the iron plate in front! I was the one who put the leather armor on just now, and this part of the leather armor was still intact at that time.”
"Yes, it's a miracle! I just saw that there were no holes like this in the leather armor!"
"What's the big deal? Look at that wooden stake. Even without the leather armor, the arrow can't penetrate that deep, right?"
"My Lord, you are truly amazing. The explosion last time has left me with an unforgettable memory. I didn't expect there would be another miracle like this again this time."
"Yeah, look at this big hole on the ground. If someone stands here, they will definitely be doomed!"
At this moment, the leather armor had been passed from Brian to the hands of those soldiers. The soldiers rushed to take a closer look. When they saw the big hole on the leather armor, they started talking about it, especially the two guards who had cooperated with Ik in erecting the wooden stakes to place the leather armor. They knew that the big hole on the leather armor was caused later.
Pah pah pah~
After checking the wooden stakes and confirming the power of the musket, Gervis turned around with satisfaction and saw his men talking among themselves. Sometimes they looked at the leather armor, and sometimes they looked at him with admiration. Gervis smiled and clapped his hands to stop their discussion.
"Line up! Everybody, look to the right, look forward, stand at attention!"
When Gervis stopped clapping, Ik immediately stood up and quickly shouted out a command. After hearing the command, the guards immediately lined up and performed a series of actions according to Ik's command.
"You guys are making great progress! I'm so proud of you!"
All the actions of the guards fell into Gervis's eyes. Looking at their swift and clean movements, Gervis nodded approvingly.
"You must be curious about what caused the damage to this leather armor!"
As he spoke, Gervis raised the musket in his hand and held it in front of them.
"That's it. You've seen how powerful it is! The wooden stick in your hands is its substitute. In the near future, you will also have this powerful weapon. However, although this weapon is powerful, you must know how to use it and use it well! If you don't use it well, it will still be garbage to you!"
"Now do you know why I asked you to train on the field with sticks?"
As Gervis spoke powerfully, all the soldiers became more and more excited. Their faces flushed and they tightly gripped the wooden sticks in his hands, as if the sticks were real muskets.
"Understood!"
When Gervis finished speaking, all the guards responded in unison, and suddenly there was a shouting in the open space.
"Very good, now that you understand, then go back and train well. Don't let these precious muskets go to waste! Ike, take them to train!"
"Yes, Lord!"
"Everyone, turn around, destination, training ground, start running!"
At Ike's command, all members of the Royal Guard lined up and trotted out of the open space.
