Chapter 1045 – : Chapter 134: Trolls
Dudian waved goodbye to Len and followed Guli to the largest tent. He saw a slender and gentle youth sitting behind the desk in the tent. He was reading a book, dudian looked up as he heard Guli’s voice. His eyes fell on Dudian who was next to guli.
“Boss, this is the new guy. His name is Ryan Dudian.”Gu Li said.
“Hello, Platoon Leader.”Dudian called out as he looked at the platoon leader. The latter was younger than he had imagined. He was different from the people outside. The other party had a scholarly aura but he didn’t appear weak, it was obvious that he was a person with a restrained killing intent.
Fitter smiled: “We are family here. You Don’t have to be polite.”
“Yes, boss is easy to talk to.”Gu Li smiled.
Fitter glanced at him: “You Lost in arm wrestling but you still have the cheek to take back the money. Your face is getting thicker and thicker.”
Gu Li was stunned: “Boss, you know that. You Can’t blame me. Brother du is an agile type magic mark. I lost before I could react.”
Fitter snorted: “He lost but he still found an excuse. Alright, take him down to change into our platoon’s uniform. Tell him about the rules of our platoon. Don’t bother me if there is nothing else.”
Gu Li smiled and took Dudian away.
“Don’t look at boss like that. He is actually very easy to talk to.”Gu Li explained to fitter as they left the tent.
Dudian smiled: “I know. I can see that he is a good person.”
Gu Li laughed: “Yes. Big Brother is much better than the other platoon leaders. You will know in the future. Let’s go. I will take you to change clothes. Then I will take you to eat a big meal.”
There was a trace of excitement in his eyes.
Dudian frowned as he vaguely smelled what he meant by ‘open meat’. It seemed that there should be military prostitutes here. The lives of these people were miserable. It was very likely that they were refugees from the small giant wall, the slums of the Empire or other places.
“It is not good to open meat as soon as you come. I will treat you next time.”Dudian smiled, “I’m new here so I’m not familiar with this place. Tell me about it. I heard that the giant monsters outside the god of war are very fierce and strange. Do you know where I can see these trolls? Their corpses are also good.”
“You haven’t seen trolls?”Guli was surprised but didn’t ask. Although he looked rough but he wasn’t stupid. He wouldn’t offend the privacy of others, he laughed: “The trolls are strange. They are covered in metal armor. Their eyes can shoot out red light. Moreover their perception is terrifying. They can find you no matter where you are hiding.”
“So Powerful?”Dudian was startled: “Are all trolls like this?”
Guli replied, “Their abilities are similar but there are some differences. For example, some trolls can hold a huge light shield to block attacks. Whether you are a physical attack or energy type, including fire and ice, they will be blocked. Oh right, these trolls are also very terrifying. They are immune to poison!”
“None of the venom can harm them, not even the zombie virus!”
Dudian’s heart beat faster than usual. The zombie virus couldn’t be infected? ! Could it be that the trolls’genes had antibodies against the zombie virus? !
He was so excited that he wanted to rush out of the giant wall to find a troll to dissect for experiments. But his rationality made him restrain his excitement.
“What’s wrong with you?”Gucci looked at him and found that Dudian’s shoulder was slightly trembling.
Dudian came back to his senses, he shook his head and smiled: “Nothing. I just think that this troll is really terrifying. It is immune to all poisons. In that case, we will have to rely on real weapons to fight the trolls.”
“Yes, we can only rely on brute force.”Guley nodded, guley grinned: “But it’s not our turn to fight with trolls. If we encounter trolls then we can only commit suicide. Even if they stand there for us to kill, we can’t hurt them. The metal armor of the trolls is so hard that we can’t communicate with them. We can only rely on the abyss walkers.”
Dudian was curious: “You haven’t fought with the trolls? How Do You Know About This?”
“I haven’t shot a bird. I haven’t seen a bird fly!”Gully shrugged his shoulders: “You have been here for a long time and have participated in several battles. You will understand. But I think you should pray that you don’t understand. Usually when we have the opportunity to see the battle between the Abyss Walker and the trolls the situation on the front line will be very critical. At this time even our gunner group will be affected.”
“Gunner Regiment?”Dudian was stunned.
“Didn’t Len Tell You?”Guli was surprised to see his reaction, “Our platoon belongs to the 9th platoon of the 3rd Company of the Gunner Regiment. Most of the time we operate the cannons to attack from the back. Most of the time we are fighting on the god of War’s wall. Occasionally we will be sent outside the wall but we will attack with cannons.” He suddenly thought of something and looked at dudian: “Do you know how to use artillery?”
“No.”Dudian shook his head. He understood that the reason why Parleena assigned him to this platoon was because she was worried that he would be in the front line.
Last time he was used as cannon fodder in the east of the god of war’s wall but this time he was used as a gunner in the rear. The gap between them was incomparable.
“It seems I have to take you to practice first. Don’t worry. This thing isn’t difficult but it takes a lot of energy.”Guli laughed.
It was the first time that Dudian knew that being a gunner was a labor. He thought about guli and the other soldiers he had seen before. They were rough and robust. It seemed that the cannons here were different from what he thought.
Guli brought Dudian to the military uniform camp. He helped Dudian choose two sets of uniforms. He brought Dudian to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment. Finally, he brought Dudian to the front of the artillery.
Dudian finally understood why the artillery was a manual job. The shape of the artillery was similar to those of the old era but the size was completely different. The base alone was five to six meters tall, the caliber of the cannon on the base was about 50 centimeters. The barrel was seven to eight meters long. There were binoculars behind the barrel as well as a handle to control the angle of the barrel. The whole thing looked rough.
“The general firing is relatively simple as long as you hold it well. But to hit the monsters at a specific location, you need to control the angle. Once the cannon is activated, it can be fired for about ten minutes. The base is full of shells and will be filled automatically. But we need to control the angle. After the cannon is activated, the angle of the twist needs to bear a large recoil force. Look at my hands. They are all made by this thing.”Guli explained to Dudian, he stretched out his hand to show him.
Dudian noticed that his hands were full of calluses and burns. He looked at the place where the barrel was connected to the base and found that it was mobile. The recoil of the barrel was less than the pressure on the base.
“The base is full of ammunition. The barrel is mobile. We have to rely on manpower to offset the recoil…”Dudian found that the designer of the cannon was very smart. He had improved the old era’s artillery to perfectly adapt to this era, relying on a gunner as the base could increase the power of the original cannon by dozens of times. However, the barrel of the cannon could withstand the continuous firing of shells.
“I’ll get a cannon manual for you to read before you practice.”Guli smiled, “Fortunately, we have repelled the troll invasion a few days ago. There shouldn’t be any war in the next few days. There should be enough time for you to practice.”
