The team immediately understood the gesture and moved to seal off the building. Even if an enemy were to jump out of the windows, they would only collide with the sharp Spears, while some reloaded their muskets.
However, the captain instead put down his Spear and drew the Short Sword he carried, loading his pistol. Inside the building, long weapons were impractical, whereas short weapons were more useful.
Because they had so few soldiers, Lance trained them all as if they were elite troops. Whether they were Spearmen or musketeers, they were basically all equipped with a pistol and a Short Sword as secondary weapons.
After setting up the blockade, the captain and two other uninjured, well-conditioned members stepped forward.
"Go!"
At his command, the captain kicked open the front door and led the charge inside.
They had practiced how to search and clear a building. As soon as the door was breached, others followed in.
