"Alright, shut up! Lord Eddie is indeed ...... Descendants of the Ryler family, this is what I confirmed yesterday!" The baron's face flushed slightly,

"You guys, Hugh has to continue to mess around!"

As soon as the three knights heard the baron say this, they all shut their mouths at once.

"Makes you smile. The baron smiled and said, "These three are my knights, and their loyalty is guaranteed: the old one is called Cangsong, the youngest one is called Sharp Sword, and the one here is called Fist of Stone." ”

“...... Let's get straight to the point. Eddie felt that the three of them didn't intend to be polite to him, so he didn't bother to waste time:

"As was mentioned yesterday, there are two threats to us; "First of all, the purpose of the southeast defense line of the town is to defend against demonic beasts, you can assign a small number of soldiers to go there, and then send the hired adventurers there;

That way, even if their loyalty is not guaranteed, they will not defect and destroy the front - in that case, they will be the first to die. ”

The baron nodded approvingly, but the younger sharpsword on his right hand did not care in the slightest;

"This level of planning, the old housekeeper can also put it forward. He muttered quietly.

"And on the south side of the town, where the enemy is about to attack, we should place ambushes on both sides of the main road. Add continued, "Killing them with arrows is the least amount of damage. ”

"Heh, we don't have many bows and arrows here. The middle-aged knight Stone Fist snorted coldly, "There are a total of one hundred and forty-eight soldiers who can move at present, and less than twenty of them can use bows and arrows...... You think we didn't think about what you wanted?"

"More than a dozen people, ambushed in the houses on both sides, a few rounds of sparse and inaccurate arrows, how many can be killed?" the old knight Cangsong shook his head, "It's useless, but disperse the troops......"

"If you just use a regular bow, you definitely won't work. Add smiled and lifted the crossbow with unmounted arrows and shook it slightly, "That's why I brought this." ”

"What is this?" Cangsong looked at him, "Tied a bow and arrows to a stick?"

"I've never seen anything like this. Sharp Sword also chimed in, "What's the use of adding a stick?"

...... In the eyes of those who have never seen a crossbow, it is indeed just an extra crossbow arm. Add wasn't going to explain it to them in words—there was a better way to explain it to them.

"Oh, why don't we try it?" Eddie smiled and looked at the knights, "Do you shoot with your bow, or do I shoot with it?"

Cang Song and Sharp Sword looked embarrassed, and then looked at Stone Fist in unison;

Even knights don't necessarily put bows and arrows on their training schedules - after all, they probably won't be needed in real combat, and only some knights will train.

"Heh, I've been practicing arrows for two years, and although I don't say that I have every shot, I am definitely better than you skinny boy...... With your physique, I'm afraid you can't even pull a bow!?"

...... Add did doubt he could pull the bow away.

"Do you dare to compete?" Eddie defiantly reverses;

"Dare, why don't you dare!" Stone Fist confidently hammered his chest, "You just say, how can you compare?"

"The main road wasn't too wide, so we were on target at a distance of thirty paces...... Ten arrows each, how?"

For Add, the embarrassing thing is that none of these bolts have tail feathers—they can't fit into the groove without cutting them off;

This will cause problems with stability. According to Heathim's calculations, the crossbow at hand would begin to deflect at low wind speeds, twenty meters, that is, about thirty paces away.

"Oh, let's compare! I'd like to see what your weird-shaped bow is for!"

"Oh, since it's a competition, you can't just play haha and pass if you lose or win, right?" Eddie took out a gold coin and smiled even more happily.

"This ......" Shi Fist suddenly hesitated......;

"Heh, you actually took the initiative to pay for it!Stone Fist, it's time to show your real skills!" Cang Song looked at Stone Fist, his eyes full of affirmation, and Sharp Sword nodded again and again.

I've been practicing for two years, how can I not compare to this liar who is so thin that I can't do it? Thinking of this, Shi Quan couldn't help but grit his teeth and stomp his feet: "Come on!"

Baron Fang Dun naturally didn't dare to disobey Eddie's will.

A carriage had already been arranged outside the door, and the group took the carriage to the playground in the southeast direction.

At this point, the wood that Eddie had requested had been piled up on the playground, and of course, Eddie didn't need them yet.

The carriage was parked near the shooting range - it was relatively deserted, after all, there were not many soldiers trained on weekdays.

"Thirty steps...... This is the line!" stood beside the distance line marked by the shooting range, and judging from his demeanor, he had already completed his mental preparation: "Come on!"

This so-called "shooting range" is very simple: an earthen wall that looks like it is not known for many years, and in front of the wall there are a few straw ropes woven into a disc-shaped target with a diameter of less than one meter, and in the middle of the target there is a plate-sized red paint;

"Hmph, I'll show you first!" Stone Fist picked up the bow and quiver handed by the soldier, drew an arrow, skillfully placed it on the bowstring, took a deep breath, held his breath, took a slight aim, loosened the string, and the arrow flew towards the target with a sound that pierced the air, and then—

Shot missed.

The arrow that slammed into the wall made an unpleasant crisp sound and fell to the ground with a little dirt.

The scene suddenly felt a little embarrassing.

"This ...... Stone Fist, even if you try it, you have to be a little more careful!" Cang Song opened his mouth to excuse Stone Fist, "Be careful!"

Shi Fist wiped the sweat from his forehead - the arrow did make a slight mistake, and more importantly, although he had ostensibly "practiced for two years", in fact, he ......

A few symbolic pulls on the bowstring and two shots every day to applaud the soldiers, which can also be regarded as "practice".

"I'm going to be serious—" Stonefist said, pulling the arrow again;

Such statements...... Add felt like he was hearing it a lot;

Generally in the middle of a battle game, a player who doesn't play very well will have this kind of statement, and of course, even if he is "serious", the effect is general-

Whoa-whoa-whoa-who

Nine bowstrings sounded, and two more arrows missed, but this did not prevent the other two knights and the surrounding soldiers from cheering on the stone fist with a slightly pompous cheer after each hit;

It's a pity that the remaining seven arrows didn't hit the red mark in the middle......

"It's your turn. "Stone Fist is quite satisfied with the result - it would be good to be able to hit half of the target during training;

Add sighed as he looked at the three arrows on the ground;

After practicing for two years, it's no wonder that bows and arrows are not commonly used.
