Chapter 10: Hunting (1)

In order to prevent the mine from collapsing again by heavy rain, Leon ordered the top of the cave to be cleared and the ground outside to be tamped. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoA new, wide boardwalk runs along the hillside, making it safe to walk even after rain.

The reinforcement of the passage continued in an orderly manner, with Lyon giving preference to the road of iron ore, where the ore was easy to mine and had more reserves.

Leon ignored the drawbridge for the time being, it was impossible to rebuild it with his current capabilities, and he didn't have the money to do it.

The basic preparations have been completed, and the rest is waiting to be mined and sold.

In the past few days, the Knight of York has not been idle, looking around the town for news of hunters. It is impossible to put up a notice to find someone, because few people are literate, and those who are literate will be able to read and write.

When the mysterious creatures will come, no one knows. Leon could only build a team of archers first in case of emergency. The hunter in the town is the best option at the moment.

Ten people were screened and met York's criteria, and today they were taken to the castle to meet the prince.

"Your Royal Highness. The hunters saluted.

"Is this a hunter who meets the standards?" Leon whispered to York, who was either yellow-skinned or listless, and did not look like a man who used to wander in the mountains and forests. I don't know how it got through York's review.

"Your Highness, these are ordinary people, and they only occasionally go to hunt some prey, and there are no real professional hunters in the town. York also expressed his innocence, a plain place where to find mountain hunters.

"Okay. "Leon knows that he can't raise the bar too high, and if he keeps training them, he will be able to train them to become real archers sooner or later, at least they have a little foundation at the moment.

The training ground was on the west side of the town, and Leon had ordered a few arrow targets to be made a few days ago, and they were set up in the field at this time.

"I know you usually go out into the woods to hunt, but I need archers who can fight, so from today you are no longer peasants, but members of the army, and your job is to train here every day. There will be a salary of 10 silver coins a month, and I will be assessed after a while, and those who don't meet the standards will have to leave, do you understand?" Leon stood in front of them, carefully saying what he had prepared last night.

The other night, he had been looking through the way he was running an army, he had never managed an army before, and he had not had the opportunity to learn how to manage it, and several of the castle's guards were also in charge of York.

He discovered a set of training methods that he had never seen before, such as military posture, running, climbing, and running with weights. There are no special conditions for these trainings, and they can be completed depending on the situation of the town. He felt that it was novel and practical, and this time he trained archers, which could be used to test the water.

"Yes. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

"What?"

The hunters replied inconsistently. Some people haven't reacted to what is going on, and after hearing the 10 silver coins, they don't know where to fly. You know, 10 silver coins is a lot of money in a small town, and they can't sell them for that much money in the best months of hunting.

"Again, I want you to be able to answer in one voice, yes. The prince began to train according to the plan, starting with answering questions.

"Do you understand?" asked Leon again.

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince. "The hunters are not too stupid, and this time everyone answered, but it was not good enough in terms of uniformity.

"Okay, one more time. ”

......

York was on the sidelines, and saw the prince there with an excited face and asked the hunter questions, is this still here to train archery skills? As an illegitimate son of a nobleman, his usual training will not be discounted because of his status. He was all too familiar with the methods of training, including horseback riding, fighting, and archery. Is shouting a training unique to the royal family?

The way he did after that surprised him even more. The prince made them stand in a row, with their feet together and their hands vertical, and stood still in place, and whoever moved would be punished, and the punishment was also very strange, holding the back of their heads with their hands, and squatting down and getting up in succession.

It didn't take long for everyone to be punished. The hunters complained one after another, thinking that it was easy to be an archer, as long as they held the bow and arrows and kept shooting out, but they didn't expect that there were such strange rules, but for the sake of silver coins, no one had chosen to quit.

"Your Highness, it's too strange for you to do this. Aren't they practicing archery?" asked York.

"Yes, they're here to learn archery, and these are pre-training preparations, called, well, military training. The prince thought for a moment before he remembered the word.

"Does this work?" York couldn't see any help with archery.

"Trust me, it's useful. The rest is up to you. "Leon is not as sure as he said, the whole training method also includes a lot of content, but he doesn't have that much time to implement it, so he can only find some of it to try. Since this method was proposed by him and trained himself, it is impossible to say that it is useless.

After the prince's brutal training, the hunters finally began their regular archery practice. Guiding them was the Knights of York.

York was trained as a child, and those methods were so deeply imprinted in his mind that it was difficult to forget.

"Everyone stands in a row with their feet shoulder-width apart, trying to keep their weight evenly on their feet, leaning forward slightly. The Knight of York gave the order and began to guide the standing posture.

Archery is not as simple as drawing a bow and shooting an arrow, what kind of posture should the body maintain, how to aim at the target, and more importantly, how to shoot the target. Hunters have jungler experience before, but those are all casual, and the movement, strength, etc. cannot be optimal. If you want to become a qualified archer, you have to learn these summarized archery skills.

One by one, York corrected their postures, some with their feet too far apart, and some leaned forward and threw themselves on the ground with a slight push. After correcting the latter one, the previous one has changed again. The angry York applied the prince's punishment, and he didn't have a long memory if he didn't suffer a little.

Faced with this work, York did his best to complete it. At the end of the day, the hunters' postures were finally up to standard.

The bows they practiced now were simple to make, and Leon had already ordered a batch of good ebony bows from White Mist City, which would be delivered with the next batch of grain. If you want to deal with flying in the sky, the strength of an ordinary bow is not enough, and you can't even touch its fur when you shoot it.

In addition, Leon wanted to create an iron arrow, no matter what the creature was that night, just from the roar, he knew that the size was not small, and the wooden arrow was afraid that it would be difficult to damage it.

The letter sent to the school city has not yet been responded. All Leon wants now is to train them as quickly as possible. Of course, the best-case scenario is that the creature never comes again.
