Chapter 611
Danny was constantly aiming, shooting, until the clip emptied . Another two big shields fell down . Danny would not waste his bullets on the Judgement Warriors . With the thin armor, the Judgement Warriors looked martial, but yet they could not even withstand the flintlock . Lord Iron Axe once said that the God's Punishment Army was a dreadful opponent because one of its soldiers could fight against 10, but at the same time, they were scarce and troublesome to train, so they were the targets worth hunting .
The reason he disliked the machine gunners was that he felt those arrogant fellows, although they used exactly the same bullets as he did, shot with an astonishingly low efficiency .
During the only two times of live practice, a machine gun squad fired several chests of bullets within one hour, which even made Lord Iron Axe's heart ache . But while checking the bullet holes, only around 100 bullets actually hit the targets . Danny felt it was totally a waste of resources .
Of course, he also understood the significance of the Mark I machine gun . At least while faced with swarming enemies, it could stop their attacking momentum . But in terms of hunting results, sharpshooters were more reliable .
One bullet for one enemy .
This was his aim for strict training .
Danny pulled out the clip, and skillfully reloaded it . When he was about to stand up and start shooting, he heard someone gasping . Looking over his shoulder, he saw Malt .
"Damn it! Didn't I tell you to stay where you were?" He shouted at Malt, "You violated a military order!"
"Lord Brian said that a soldier can never leave his position lest for exceptional cases, so you've violated a military order," saying this, Malt wiped the sweat on his forehead . "As your protector, I must stay by your side!"
" . . . " Holding back the impulse to beat Malt, Danny grabbed a handful of bullets from his pocket and threw them in front of Malt . "Fill the clip . Stay down unless there's an emergency!"
"Yes, Captain!" the short guy saluted and said smilingly .
After Danny killed five enemies, there appeared to be some changes in the enemy's troop .
The church commander probably believed that they would not make it to the trench if they kept on charging that way and so they made a change . The God's Punishment Army abandoned their big shields and charged toward the trenches . They moved at such a fast speed that even horses would not outrun them . They were getting closer and closer!
The sound of revolving rifles and machine guns rang out at the same time .
Suddenly, some blood fog appeared in front of Danny . The dust rising from the ground was denser than the time when the cannons bombarded . It looked as if there was an invisible giant hand severely beat the group of charging warriors . Facing this unstoppable force, the enemy's charging speed was greatly slowed down . Anyone touched by this invisible force was torn into pieces with blood splashing everywhere .
A soldier of the God's Punishment Army kept running forward even after one of his arms was shot by a bullet . When Danny aimed his gun at him, a 'sand snake' composed of dozens of lines of dust sloppily passed through the soldier's body, which was the unique trajectory of a machine gun . The soldier's chest suddenly waved like a pool of water, blue blood splashed out of his back, and his ribs were even broken by the scorching airflow of the passing bullets .
The soldier, though he lost his balance and was wrinkled up like a piece of rag, still managed to run for another three to four steps before falling to the ground due to the inertia . Danny noticed that his back had gone rotten .
"Watch out, Captain!" Malt shouted suddenly .
Danny was shocked . When he turned his head, he saw another soldier from the God's Punishment Army, appearing from the boundless dust and holding a spear upright .
Then the soldier bent over and threw the spear at Danny .
He barely saw how the soldier threw the spear .
"Too careless . I've been so focused on observing the enemies that I attracted their attention . A hunter shouldn't expose himself under the prey's eyesight for too long," Danny thought .
Before he could react, Malt heavily hit him on the body . Both of them fell on the trench ground . At the same time, a loud sound came above their heads .
Danny felt a pain came from the back of his head, and his body was completely covered by dirt .
Danny felt the sound of gunfires suddenly faded away, and an unbearable buzzing kept echoing in his ears .
After a long time, Danny recovered his senses . Touching the back of his head, he felt something sticky . "I must have hit on something hard when I fell on the ground . Since I could remain sober, it must be nothing serious . "
With his blurry eyesight, he saw a teammate coming to him .
"Are you alright?"
Danny could only vaguely hear it . He managed to wave his hand, indicating he was fine .
"Give me a hand . Two people are wounded," the teammate shouted .
Soon, Danny and Malt were surrounded by more teammates and were dragged out of the collapsed pile of dirt .
At that moment, Danny noticed that the short spear had torn apart the edge of the trench, creating a crescent-shaped gap . It did not fly away over his head but instead it hit the trench edge, penetrated the thin soil, and struck into the trench wall . The dirt that fell on their bodies was from the spot where the spear's hit .
When he looked at Malt, his heart suddenly clenched .
He saw there was a bleeding wound as big as a bowl on Malt's shoulder, and his arm almost fell off, only a few strands of skin connected the shoulder, his white bones exposed .
"The spear wasn't thrown in vain . It hit Malt . "
The teammates went back to the battle, leaving one soldier to take care of Malt . All the soldiers in the First Army understood that as long as a wounded soldier could survive till the end of the battle, Miss Nana would make him fully recover . So hemostasis and dressing was a compulsory course in the First Army . The soldier left pulled out a dagger, decisively cut Malt's arm off and then sprinkled the herbs in his pocket on Malt's wound before he wrapped the wound with gauze .
After suffering this treatment, Malt awoke from his coma, murmuring a faint groan .
"Lie still . You're not going to die . " The soldier consoled him .
"Where is Cap-Captain Danny?"
"I'm here . " Danny clenched his teeth, upheld his weak limbs, and climbed to Malt's side . "Why would you do that for me . . . "
"Because I'm your protector . Of, of course, I won't leave you behind . " Malt's mouth slowly opened and shut . "How did I do? I fulfilled my duty, didn't I?"
Danny suddenly felt an unspeakable guilt surging from the bottom of his heart . "Sure . . . you did very well . "
"Really?" Malt smiled with a difficulty . "This will pave my way to meet Miss Nana . "
"That's right . Both of you can meet her . " The soldier looked at Danny . "You can take care of him, right? I need to go back to my position . "
"Yes, I can . . . Thank you," Danny said, nodding .
After the soldier left, Danny slowly picked up his gun from the ground, dusted off the dirt, and managed to stand up .
"I can still fight!"
"The enemy must pay for this wound with blood!" Danny thought .
However, the approaching army of the church was no more . In the pervading dust, the enemies were retreating in panic, and only their backs could be vaguely seen .
Cheers burst out from the trenches .
They had won!
