Chapter 682: Chapter 436: One Loop After Another, Each Different From the Rest!_3

Well, Sean Knight actually had no way of calculating it.

In the afternoon, Elijah Hastings and the others led their group of fifty or so young and strong warriors from the village to practice shooting their guns in the Gobi Beach outside the village.

Language was a barrier, but Iman had a solution.

He stood by the side and gave the warriors a standard routine: Elijah Hastings and the others performed a move, the warriors followed, those who were slow in executing the move or not serious about learning it were not qualified to hold a gun and would be flogged by Edgar Patterson!

Yes, that’s right, flogging!

Edgar stood by with a whip made of an unknown rattan, ready to hit any warrior who wasn’t focused!

The results were evident!

Elijah Hastings and the others were split into groups, each person demonstrating to seventeen or eighteen individuals.

Although they were once part of a very strict special forces unit, the sight of warriors being whipped and still smiling as they continued to train left them with mixed emotions.

Only in one afternoon, the warriors had learned how to load bullets into the magazine, how to hold a gun, and how to aim.

They had no choice. Those who were not serious about training would receive a whipping, and the same applied to those whose moves were deemed unacceptable during inspection.

Edgar hardly smiled, his face was somber.

During a break, Elijah Hastings secretly told Sean that Edgar’s brother had been killed in the morning’s surprise attack and that his wife was wounded as well.

This made Edgar even more serious about this gun practice and very strict about it.

He supervised their training and practiced himself during their rest.

By the time the sun had set, all fifty or so people had mastered gun aiming using the thirty available guns.

During the final round of shooting, these fifty or so people were able to hit human-shaped targets a hundred meters away, with more than ten of them actually hitting their targets.

Achieving such results within a day was already quite good.

After nightfall, Iman heeded the advice of Elijah Hastings and his team and sent out sentries with guns outside the village.

Elijah Hastings and his team followed as the leaders of the first watch, teaching Edgar and the others how to stand guard in order to easily spot enemies and protect themselves.

Elijah had been here for several days and had already learned basic gestures to communicate with Edgar and the others.

Iman had originally planned to vacate a house in the village for Sean and the others to stay in.

However, seeing the many elderly and children in the village, Sean and the others declined the offer and set up their own tents, sleeping in sleeping bags inside them.

Elijah and the others also set up sentry posts on their own, separate from those in the village.

In such a dangerous environment, it was best to keep safety in their own hands.

They worried all night, but there was no attack.

At daybreak, having eaten sticky breakfast porridge, Sean and his group prepared for battle against the invading enemy.

However, the sentries sent earlier had not sent any information back.

Sean was not worried about the safety of the sentries; knowing that Lincoln Harrington had accompanied them, even if the enemy attacked, the sentries would not be able to resist, but had no problem protecting themselves.

Since the enemy had not arrived, Sean and his team continued to teach the village warriors how to handle guns.

Elijah even taught them some tactical moves in conjunction with their training.

Though they couldn’t learn much in a hurry, it would at least leave an impression on them.

You never know when it might come in handy.

After a day had passed, the village warriors had become more skilled in handling guns, which frustrated Edgar since he hadn’t whipped many people that day.

The injured warriors from the day before had a brown, sticky layer of medicine applied to their wounds, which had already scabbed over by today.

Although there were quite a few bullets, Elijah still ordered the warriors to use as few bullets as possible if a real battle broke out, and to try to use short burst fire or even single shot fire whenever possible.

The image of black soldiers in movies and news not even bothering to look and firing all their bullets in one go had left a deep impression on them.

However, he was overthinking it. With Edgar’s supervision, these warriors wouldn’t waste bullets at all!

They were used to living a hard life!

At night, they still slept in tents and again sent out sentries.

As Sean was about to close his eyes and sleep in his sleeping bag, he heard footsteps outside.

Unfamiliar footsteps.

Sean asked quietly:

"Who is it?"

Lincoln Harrington was on duty with sentries outside the village, and Douglas Cooper was outside the tent area.

Since they hadn’t given any warning signals, it couldn’t be the enemy.

There was no response.

Sean got up cautiously, his guns at the ready.

The visitors had already reached the entrance of the tent.

With a puzzled look on her face, Sean could tell it was a girl.

Could it be...?

The tent door was zipped up, and the visitor groped around but couldn’t find a way to open it.

Activating his Sky Eye, Sean discovered that it was a woman from the village.

She was Iman’s niece.

During their training sessions, some of the women in the village brought water, and some even watched the spectacle from outside.

Sean had seen this girl named Carolyn Jones, who was the leader of the same age group of village girls. She would bring water to each warrior and also deliver a special fruit unique to this place — a fruit similar to a watermelon — to Sean and Elijah Hastings.

This Carolyn Jones coming to the tent... oh well.

Sean opened the tent and went out. Carolyn giggled at him, not shy at all.

Sean gestured and pointed to the house, indicating for her to leave.

Carolyn’s face showed disappointment.

Sean blamed Douglas Cooper for not being more careful and letting people pass through.

When he turned to look at Douglas’s location, he was surprised to find that there was another girl there too, both of them seemingly talking nonsense, each in their own language.

Douglas kept shaking his head, but the girl was very persistent.

However, Carolyn was quite decisive. After Sean’s refusal, she looked disappointedly at him and turned to leave.

Finally, the other girl saw Carolyn leaving and reluctantly left too.

Fearing similar incidents might happen again that night, Sean decided not to sleep at all.

Anyway, with his physical strength, not sleeping wouldn’t have much of an impact.

Early the next day, they were still eating breakfast at Iman’s house.

Iman’s expression was normal, and he didn’t mention last night’s incident.

Sean guessed he must have known but thought that as long as they weren’t willing, it was alright.

After breakfast, they changed sentries again, and the others continued their training.

While Douglas led the training, Sean called Elijah and Lincoln together and said:

"I think we should figure out a way not to wait passively here, but to take the fight to the battlefield and try ambushing the possible incoming enemy."

Elijah’s eyes brightened:

"That’s a good idea!"
