Upon hearing the Beast Spirit Speaker's command, Little White extended his arm behind his back, not daring to move his torso at all.
He kept his eyes fixed on the wolf pack approaching the hillside, fearing he might startle them.
"[Herde Language] Don't be afraid." Bell calmly advised, "[Herde Language] The wolves won't see you."
With the Beast Spirit Speaker's guidance, Little White grew a bit bolder. He crawled forward to the Beast Spirit Speaker, lay prone on the hillside, and slowly unfolded the bipod, carefully inserting it into the ground while holding it steady.
Bell's hunting "stand" was specially designed for shooting on inclined terrain.
Matchlock guns commonly used in the army were difficult to steady without an iron forked rest. The hunting rifle that Winters and Anna gifted to Bell extended even longer than the military matchlock gun.
Though they had lightened it as much as possible, without support, it was nearly impossible to aim accurately using just one's arms.
