"Actually, if you think about it carefully, I was also carried away by the joy that fell from the sky, how could I want to sell you Guanzi." Ron covered his forehead helplessly, "You joined the Imperial Legion earlier than me, so you must know more about weapons and equipment than me, I'm afraid just by glancing at the circumference of the box, you will know what is stuffed inside." ”

This is natural, and it's not like the romance novel in Ron's impression, there are all kinds of wonderful weapons, from inorganic to organic, from materialistic to idealistic. There are only a few types of weapons and equipment on the entire Calradia continent, and when you remember the length and width of the box and compare it with the weapons in your memory, the answer will naturally come out.

Ron, however, no longer remained mysterious, and talked about his encounter with Hofhoe and Moore at the salt works.

"Before leaving, the Moore approached me and offered to give me the crossbow he had purchased from Valandia in his personal name."

"There is no good thing in the world that is taken for nothing."

"Of course I know this, but I don't take things for nothing, do I?" Ron smiled, "It's like an enemy shooting us with an arrow wrapped in sugar, we just eat the candy and shoot the arrow back." ”

Arthur wanted to stop talking, stop talking and desire, but when he thought about it, it was Ron, his mind was almost as bright as his own, and he probably thought of this layer, but he thought of it because he was too suspicious, "Just listen to what you said, Captain of the Legion, the power struggle within Stegia is probably even bloodier than we imagined." ”

It's not just blood, it's bloody!

Because of the political ecology of the Principality of Sturgia, almost every local aristocracy can form a faction of its own, and it is too crude and general to use conservatives and enlightened factions to summarize them into two major factions.

In this kind of political ecological environment, large and small nobles must have their own armed forces, and they can also have a rough estimate of the military strength of other nobles, after all, everyone's land is so large, and the upper and lower limits of the soldiers that can be supported will not be too different.

And now, there is a great nobleman who is obviously having enough say in the alliance of the Duchy of Stegia is secretly expanding his armaments......

It's hard for someone who knows the inside story not to think about something, and it can't be for the sake of holding a unique military exercise, right?

"No matter how bloody it is, it's their business, it has nothing to do with us, our primary goal is to survive here, and then get in touch with the Northern Empire when we have the opportunity later."

"I wouldn't even want to get in touch if I could." Arthur's face sank, worried, "Who knows what the Northern Empire is like now." ”

"No matter how bad it is, it's their business, and it still has nothing to do with us." Ron glanced to the south, then brought the topic back, "That's a batch of the best goods, Valandia's standard equipment, you know, they started with crossbows and cavalry, and I'm going to start building our long-range troops." ”

It can only be said that fortunately, the weapon Moore gave him was a crossbow instead of a bow, because even though Ron had a system that could forcibly upgrade the soldiers and instill relevant weapon use experience, due to the dilemma of the urgent shortage of long-range weapons before, Ron upgraded all the soldiers in the current legion to melee units, and even if they were to upgrade again, it would only become a more fierce dual-wielding weapon macho.

And if you want to bypass the system, you want to let the soldiers master the long-range weapons thoroughly through real and solid training...... As mentioned before, the training of qualified archers is too time-consuming, energy-consuming, and money-consuming.

But the crossbow is different, the essence of human forging technology and wisdom is condensed into it, and its relatively complex design structure greatly reduces the training time of the crossbowman, completely trying to quickly pull people to the battlefield, then a few days can train a batch of qualified disposable crossbowmen cannon fodder, and skilled crossbowmen even if they need to learn how to maintain the crossbow and eliminate basic mechanical failures It only takes half a year at most, and one or two years are enough to train elite crossbowmen.

Therefore, the crossbow is currently the best and best ranged weapon for the Northern Boar Legion.

"And it's Valandia's iron-clad crossbow."

"Equip the Valandia Marksmans, their ace troops." After saying this, Ron added at the end, "The unit that was overwhelmed by the elite armored cavalry of the Empire." ”

However, Ron is not belittling the Valandia marksman, in fact, he is indeed very good, but he is very unfortunate to meet a group of people with a higher level, and in the face of other troops of the empire or the troops of other kingdoms and tribes, the Valandia marksman has always been a meritorious person.

The Crossbow in their hands is an improvement on the Imperial Crossbow, with the addition of a mechanism that can be stepped on with the foot in the early stage, making it easier for the crossbowman to reload the crossbow bolt, and improving the shooting efficiency of the Valandia marksman.

The tail end is equipped with a twisting grip and axle, instead of the previous way of loading the crossbow string with a direct hand, which means that the iron-clad crossbow can use a tougher string and shoot a larger pound bolt with more power and a longer range!

Although I don't want to admit it, at least in terms of bows and crossbows, the Imperials, who were once far ahead of other countries in many technologies, are finally slowly starting to catch up.

Since Ron intended to form a long-range force, Arthur naturally took over the task and took it seriously, returned to the training ground, and waited for the soldiers to finish practicing the formation cooperation, and he found twenty soldiers with obvious muscles on their arms according to the number of iron-clad crossbows. Separate them from their respective ten-captains and form them into separate ranged units, under the command of Ron himself.

However, this long-range unit is easy to set up, but it is difficult to train, as we all know, the only one among the giants who has shot the enemy is Ron, which means that everyone is actually a layman for bows and crossbows, but they are used to seeing how pigs run, so they can learn and teach others in a good way.

How many fallacies there are in it can only be corrected by time and actual combat, as well as life. But the most basic thing, standing upright, holding the bow and crossbow steadily, and keeping the eye, hand, bow and crossbow and target in a straight line, they have no problem with these contents.

And while the soldiers were exhausted from drilling, and the Ten-Captains were exhausted by the new mission indicators, it was naturally impossible for Ron to be idle.
