On the fourth day since Echos' army took Surly Gate Town, Amon stood on a grand plaza beside the factory. He observed military training on the plaza. Thousands of soldiers were present. They were divided into two groups.
In one group, soldiers lined up in tens. The first in each line received a rifle and was instructed to fire several times at a distant target. An officer marked the results, then the rifles moved to the next soldier in line.
In the second group, each soldier held a rifle. They performed rigorous shooting exercises from different positions and distances.
The first group was meant to select soldiers with a talent for shooting accuracy. The second group was designed to train the selected soldiers and increase their proficiency in using the rifles. They were all Human Realm soldiers. Amon didn't want to waste the rifles on soldiers with high cultivation levels. These weapons were meant to bridge the gap between cultivation levels.
