Valeria's gaze lingered on the rifles, her mind already planning the next steps. She knew the Demon King would be pleased, but now the weapons had to be put to the test. They needed to see if the dark warriors could wield these new tools effectively. She turned back to Astonoroph.
"These will need to be tested in combat," she said. "I will assign a group of our best warriors to train with these weapons. You will oversee their instruction."
Astonoroph nodded. "I expected as much, Lady Valeria. I have already considered the specifics of their training."
"Good," Valeria replied. "Make preparations. The training grounds will be yours for the next several days. Our warriors must learn to use these rifles as efficiently as the humans do—if not more."
