"Fire!"
He swung his arm forcefully towards the front, towards Shinno and the others!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...
The dense sound of gunfire, like exploding beans, blasted out.
Row after row of scorching bullets, like beasts descending the mountain, roared toward Shinno and his group, who were frantically fleeing north.
The matchlock gun's accuracy was poor, and though many bullets were fired, only a few hit people. The vast majority either shot into the sky or hit the ground.
However—despite the poor accuracy, the deafening and dense gunfire still delivered a strong psychological shock to the members of the Anti-foreigner Group.
Even those left by Shinno to cover the rear showed significant signs of wavering.
Originally, when facing Aoto, who almost single-handedly took down nearly half of their comrades, despite having a numerical advantage they couldn't overpower him, the morale of the Anti-foreigner Group was already severely hit.
