In the castle warehouse, bundles of spikes were neatly arranged, the same spikes that Sean had ordered Joyce to collect and fill the trunk of the tree. There are also a few spikes with colorful black chicken feathers stuck to the tail, like bows and arrows in the previous life.

Enriching the island's troop has always been Sean's idea, at present, Sean Island already has infantry and cavalry, limited to the number of professionals, the number of cavalry has not been much, the number of infantry is quite a lot, not to mention the swordsman squad that has not broken through to the professional, the number of patrol teams alone is amazing.

But both infantry and cavalry are melee arms. The melee class is fighting the enemy head-on, casualties are certainly not guaranteed, and there is no good fire suppression point.

Ever since he captured the Black Boar, Sean had the idea of forming an archer. With the size and compact flesh of the black boar, its tendons are not necessarily worse than cow tendons to make bowstrings. The tendons of the wild boar that were slaughtered in the past were also dried and soaked in the same way as the bowstrings were made, but until now, the number of bowstrings is only eight.

"Joyce, how about instructing the craftsman to make the bow. ”

"Lord Hui, it's already been made, but I don't know if the charm doesn't meet your requirements. Joyce was behind Sean, looking at the spikes in front of him, his mind full of doubts, he knew that the lord was making some magical thing again.

"Well, you tell the craftsman to take the bow to the training ground, and you can come over too. Sean picked up a dozen bows and arrows made from the spikes of a fruit tree in the ground, and walked out of the warehouse to the training site.

When Sean came to the training ground, Taylor was still training the swordsman squad, but the size of the swordsman squad was no longer the same as before, and several formations were neatly arranged and trained.

"Your Excellency, my lord, is well. ”

"Taylor, how is the training going, I came here today to try out a new thing I have made, and you can also comment on it. Sean slapped the spiked bow on his back.

"My lord, what is this?" Taylor looked at the wooden pole covered in multicolored chicken feathers, puzzled.

"It didn't take long to know. Sean bought a pass and got off the horse.

Soon, Joyce came from a distance with two craftsmen, holding the same bow that Sean had ordered the craftsman to make. Sean took the bow handed by the craftsman, weighed it, and found that the bow was heavier than he had imagined, and pulled the bowstring with his hand, and found that the bow was stronger than he had estimated.

"My lord, this is a bow that you have asked for, because you want the bow tire to be not only tough, elastic but also strong, we have tried many kinds of wood, and finally chose the tall tree on the north side of the island as the raw material, you see if it meets your requirements. A craftsman said tremblingly.

Sean took out his bow and arrow from his back, put one on the bow, and aimed at a large tree not far away.

The "whoosh" bow and arrow instantly detached from the bow and flew over the tree towards the distance.

Everyone looked at Sean with a puzzled expression, and Sean smiled awkwardly: "Mistake, mistake, first time shooting." ”

Catch a spiked arrow again, slowly adjust your breathing, and with the physical fitness of a silver swordsman, steadily aim the arrow at the trees not far away.

The "whoosh" arrow flew out again quickly, firmly stuck in the trunk of a tree not far away.

"Yes, very good, according to this standard, we will make the remaining 7 black boar tendons into bows. In addition, the bow tire continues to be manufactured, and when the number of black boar pig tendons is raised, it will be made into a bow immediately, and you will also try other materials, if you can find the right material, you will be rewarded. Joyce, 50 silver coins for each craftsman involved in bow making. Sean shook the bow in his hand, satisfied.

"Your Lord is merciful, and your glory shines on all of Sean Island. The two craftsmen knelt on the ground and bowed in thanksgiving.

"Taylor, how about this bow. Sean turned his head to look at Taylor, who had been silent.

Taylor looked at the bow and arrow stuck in the trunk of the tree in the distance, and after a long time, he exhaled, "My lord, I want to try this bow myself." ”

Sean handed the bow in his hand to Taylor, and just wanted to teach Taylor how to use the bow and arrow, but Taylor skillfully put the arrow on the bow. In an instant, there was another spiked arrow in the trunk.

Taylor let out another breath and said, "Your Excellency, you've surprised me again. Perhaps the birth of the bow will change the way warfare is conducted. ”

Sean was stunned, he didn't expect Taylor to speak so highly of the bow.

"How to say. ”

"The knights you formed before, Lord Lord, were fine, after all, they needed to fight in close quarters, but now that the bow is born, maybe the form of war will change. ”

"Previously, the initial continent also had a similar idea, the long-pointed spear was projected to suppress the advance of the army, but due to the weight of the spear, it was not destined to be projected too far, and the target was too big, in terms of the physical fitness of the professional, blocking was a very simple thing, and gradually the spear was slowly disappeared into history. ”

"Now the bow you made, Lord Lord, this arrow is not only slender, but also extremely fast, making it very difficult to block. Moreover, the militia or professionals of the Initial Continent generally rarely wear armor on our Sean Island, and once they are shot, they ....... ”

Taylor paused and continued, "As for the sea monster, it goes without saying. Also, Lord Lord, I don't think I'm just going to make a bow, I'm sure I'm trying to form a team with a bow. If a dense number of arrows attack a formation, except for the golden swordsman with a sword qi shield, it may be difficult for the professionals below the golden swordsman to block so many bows and arrows, so I said that this is a weapon that changes the form of war, but fortunately, this bow belongs to our Sean Island. ”

Sean looked at Taylor's eyes, which were originally shocked and slowly turned red with excitement, and thought silently in his heart: "Is it really that powerful? I just want to form an archery team, and after the city wall is built, the patrol team or the swordsman team will not need to contact the sea monster head-on, but can shoot the sea monster in the face on the city wall." ”

"Then let's see if it's feasible to form a team of archers. ”

Taylor waved the bow in his hand excitedly: "Of course it works, if this bow can be mass-produced, I recommend that every member of the patrol, swordsman squad, guard and knight of thorns on Sean Island be equipped with this bow." ”

Sean looked at Taylor's excited expression, and couldn't help but say: "It can't be achieved for the time being, limited by the number of black boars, now it can only make up to 8, and the number will continue to increase in the future, but at present, in order to continue to develop, only 8 can be made for the time being." ”

Taylor's expression froze with excitement: "So little, then please make it all as soon as possible, Lord Lord, and I will arrange for the members of the swordsman team to train." ”

"Yes, I suggest that the main training object is the guards, after all, they are responsible for guarding the island, I want to give priority to equipping them, after the walls are built and the number of bows increases, Sean Island will no longer have to worry about the invasion of sea monsters. ”

"So, Joyce, this time I have asked you to show you the power of the bow and arrow, and the sooner the wall is built, the fewer casualties the people will have due to the invasion of the sea monsters. Sean told Joyce again.

"My lord, I understand, I will do my best to cooperate with Corey. ”

Sean actually has a lot of troops in his heart, such as heavy shield soldiers, spearmen, light horse archers, etc., but due to the current lack of military population on Sean Island, it is temporarily impossible to realize the plan in his heart.
