The reason is simple, even an unarmed slave can easily kill the noblest knights with crossbow arrows in a sneak attack, and the longbow, which is also a long-range attack weapon, cannot penetrate heavy knights, especially heavy armor containing rare crystals.

Therefore, in wars between empires, crossbow arrows and assassinations were strictly forbidden.

It's a strange balance, and when either partner takes the lead in using a forbidden method, it inevitably invites the other party's crazy retaliation. And once used, no one will stop the same retaliation unless that commander is killed.

In the continent of Eminole and the Frozen Snowfield, there are only two semi-professions that can legally possess crossbow arrows: hunters, and merchants traveling in the desert, and the half-professions refer to mercenary groups below the D rank.

In the case of small mercenary groups, it is not legal to carry them, and they can only be used secretly in the fight against large-scale bandits. Once the crossbow bolt is exposed in the city, it will inevitably be confiscated and even severely punished by the regular army.

-- "Soldiers, Taboos, Crossbows"

Chapter 48 Origin of the surname

In terms of the soldiers of the small mercenary group alone, especially those under the age of 20, more than 80% of them are from military families in the northern federation of the empire. From the moment he touched the weapon, he was instilled with an indelible truth from his father: crossbow arrows should not be used at any time.

As a regular soldier, you can die under any weapon, and you never want to die under a crossbow arrow, which is really a humiliation that cannot be washed away.

Under this almost innate sense of honor, only the mercenaries of the small mercenary group from the Ice and Snow Continent would fight for their lives under the threat of a strong crossbow.

For the soldiers from the continent of Fanos, the crossbow is a weapon that has never been seen before, and when the small mercenary group of captives is presented, it immediately receives strong attention from newcomers such as Norton and Merlin. In order to enhance the combat power of his legions, Norton mobilized almost all the crossbows he could collect, and in this expedition, 200 crossbow soldiers were specially reserved, which showed a little importance to it.

It was not without objections to the use of crossbowmen, at least Dahaino did not support it, and the strongest opponent was the Golden Dragon Knight, Yemoda's eyes revealed not only opposition, but more contempt and anger for the instrument itself, as the leader of the traditional military, Yemoda slapped the table in front of everyone for the first time.

In the end, at the meeting of officers of the Western Expeditionary Army Department of more than 1,000 commanders, the two factions in the dispute had to vote, but unfortunately, the human forces were at least very pitiful in terms of numbers among the Phanos Legion, and only three human officers voted against the 25 people who had the right to vote.

"All of you will pay with your own lives for this incident. Yemoda slammed the door and exited.

The behavior of human officers is extremely incomprehensible to the orcs and other orc officers, and in this world, isn't it the human beings who are the most sinister? In all the wars, the orc armies have been repeatedly defeated by the endless tricks of the human race, such as stumbling ropes, bows and arrows, bamboo sticks, and catapults...... Aren't these weapons of war that have caused great harm to orcs all invented and used by human beings? Didn't the orcs learn the meanness of human beings through slaughter after massacre? Is there a difference between despicable and noble weapons of murder?

As victims, the orcs simply couldn't identify with this unusual word for "meanness".

Inside the city gate, all the people were in a state of anger! Every little mercenary around saw the sweat slowly oozing from Amy's head, and could even vaguely feel Amy's teeth slowly moving.

After ten breaths, the young man laughed angrily: "Huh...... Scold...... It was my mistake that in the struggle between life and death, I still expect the other party to follow the rules, which is really a woman's opinion. Our brother ......" tears instantly welled up in her eyes, ignoring the surprised eyes of the young mercenaries around her, Amy's tone turned flat: "The opponent is not obligated to follow the rules for us. From now on, unscrupulous means against the Phanos army. ”

Amy casually beckoned a few mercenary captains around to make arrangements, and at this time, Daqingshan noticed that things had changed and hurried from behind.

Although they have achieved a superficial advantage, they have overwhelmed the enemy in momentum, and can even tease their opponents leisurely in words, the pressure on the Fanos soldiers at this time is much greater than that of the Imperial mercenaries. With only 400 soldiers, it is not enough for a small mercenary group to fight, otherwise the battle of Xilin Island will be diametrically opposite. Compared to the huge Broken Ice City, the defense of the Phanos army with carts and huge shields is simply negligible. Each soldier did his best to hide behind his shield.

The city gate of the Broken Ice Harbor was suddenly pushed from both sides, and at the moment when the city gate was about to close, two huge steel shields were covered, and then the city gate slowly opened again, and the steel shields increased one by one. Obviously, the defenders wanted to fight their way out of the city with minimal losses through this pattern. The sound of horses' hooves was also heard from the city gates, and the enemy's intentions were revealed.

The crossbow arrows in the soldiers' hands were silently pointed at the city gate.

Suddenly, archers suddenly stood up on the city wall from a distance, and in the midst of the chaos of the Phanos legions, the arrows of the white sè struck like a storm, and the orc and bear soldiers immediately raised their large shields to protect the entire team. On the city wall are not only human archers, but also long-standing jīng spirits, compared with their human counterparts, these jīng spirit hand buckle longbows do not have any jīng spirit shè arrow feathers in their hands - natural archers have a deep affection for every arrow in their hands, and no jīng spirit will not have a target.

Several human crossbowmen who were skeptical of Jīng Ling's innate skills suddenly burst out, the giant crossbow in their hands had just reached the city wall, and the blow of death had already come, and the arrow feathers of the green sè were heavy shè through the thin armor of the crossbowman. The crossbowman behind the shield subconsciously glanced at the corpse that had just fallen, and someone kept exclaiming, all the arrows of the green sè feathers were located on the neck, if they were not on the forehead, they must be necks, and it was conceivable that if the body that was leaned out just now was higher, there would definitely be this green sè's long arrow in the heart. Such a long distance, like a crossbow arrow, but the accuracy is far more than a crossbow arrow, and in the entire human society, there are probably no more than 100 people with such ability.

Norton and Amy are extremely soldiers, so the calculation of the number of troops in their hands in any battle needs to be described as stingy. The two men did not even meet each other, and more than 10 people fell on each side, which was relatively difficult for the two commanders to accept.

Amy and Daqingshan appeared side by side on the city wall, and the young mercenary cautiously touched the chest of the fallen soldier just now, so that the priest who followed behind him could give treatment as soon as possible. Then, two people held the buttress and looked out.

In the offensive and defensive battles of Xilin Island, Amy and Daqingshan already knew a lot about the combat power of the Fanos Empire, especially after Daqingshan saw tens of thousands of people fighting with their own eyes. Although the team in front of him will not exceed 500 people, let alone dragon knights or knight troops, in terms of momentum, it is probably second only to the last enemy encountered in the breakout battle of Xilin Island.

"I don't know who your Excellency is, can you tell us? The young mercenary leader's clear and peaceful voice echoed in the sky, apparently casting a little magic of amplification.

"Norton Reis, commander of the 3rd Army of the Phanossi Expeditionary Army. Zhi Jiang said word by word.

"Oh!" Amy, Daqingshan heard the sensation, the intelligence system of the emperor's ** department is not in vain, in the past 4 months, a large amount of intelligence has been continuously summarized, as the main combat force of the empire The command often receives various materials from the military department, of which about 40% is the Fanos West Expeditionary Army that is fighting head-on with the empire. Generals of the rank of Dahaino, Merlin, and Norton all have separate files. The Imperial side has a very high evaluation of Norton, and there are such words in the annotations: There are "three soldiers" in the Phanos Western Expeditionary Army, Dahaino can be called the soul of soldiers, Norton is the spirit of soldiers, and the second person in the Western Expeditionary Army, Yemoda, is only called the front of soldiers and ranks after the spirit of soldiers. Looking at the young soldier in front of him who was guarded by soldiers in zhōngyāng, especially the rustic face, it was really difficult to associate him with words such as sharpness and wit.

"I have one thing I would like to ask Lord Norton. Amy seemed to remember something, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and just as she wanted to say something, Da Qingshan had already guessed from his tone, and hurriedly knocked lightly with her foot.

"Your Excellency is the head of Amy, I have seen your shadow drawing, and it is really young and young. Please speak, I will certainly fulfill your wishes. "The honest orc officer has also carefully studied Amy's information, and the information of the Phanos army is more detailed than that of the Imperial side. It's a pity that such an honest orc leader only stops at the art of war, ability, etc. in the study of his opponent.

"Are you an indigenous inhabitant of the Phanos continent? I have seen some information about the Phanos continent before, according to the information, the Phanos continent is quite barren, and the indigenous people live a very simple life, is that so?" Amy's face was full of sincerity and even a little unbearable. Even the orc warriors under the city can clearly appreciate the great feelings of the brave man who cares for the heavens and people, and even some orcs secretly decide that once they capture this handsome young human, they will not abuse him, and even secretly let him go.

"Yes, yes. According to our ancestors, they remember starving to death every year, but now it's much better. Norton replied with great sincerity.

"Then it's very strange, how can Your Excellency have a surname in addition to a name? How did I hear that the population of your continent is extremely prosperous, and men and women will have sex with each other regardless of place, time or family, as long as they want, so the children born generally do not know who their father is, so they only have names. Amy ignored the fact that there were still a few girls from the small mercenary group standing behind her, and her extremely harsh words pierced the orc's heart like a storm.

Norton didn't expect his opponent, who was smiling a minute ago, to say such a mean word, and he froze for a moment.

Amy didn't seem to see the iron-blue faces of the orcs and orcs below, and continued her shocking words: "I heard that because of the frequent intercourse with your people, and each litter will give birth to many children like wild beasts, they can't even give a name, so they often use the place where they last had sex or the place where they gave birth as their name." For example, Tanaka and Matsushita were born after being born in the fields and under the pine trees, Yamamoto Fifty-six was born when he was in front of the mountain and made fifty-six loves, Okamura was born in a small village on the hill, and it is said that there are also clans that are named after the xìng posture, such as Ibuki, Mizude, Fushita, and ......"

"That's enough—" The enraged orc officer roared, "Despicable human, you filthy ......"

"You and your bastards and half-orcs are fucking dead!Who is despicable?!Who is dirty?!" Amy was even more indignant on the city walls: "You bastards, don't stay on your own land, cross the ocean to attack us, who is mean!?Half of the brothers of the little mercenary group were wounded in the war, hundreds of people were killed, and tens of thousands of troops besieged a small mercenary group of less than 600 people, who is despicable!?We retreated from Xilin Island to Ice Floe City, you bastards still came to attack us, who is more dirty!? Fuck, you have a mother's son and no father's bastard in your family, who the fuck told you to use such a nasty weapon?! Who is more despicable and dirty!?" With the help of amplification magic, Lord Amy's anger roared like a thunderstorm rolling through the ground.

As a half-orc, who usually lives among partners who are few words, where has Norton ever seen such words, and he can't say a word on the spot.

Da Qingshan couldn't look at it, and whispered a sentence next to him: "Amy, don't say that people have mothers and no fathers ......to teach them" The amplification magic faithfully imprinted every byte, and Daqingshan's voice also echoed in the sky.

The Holy Dragon Knight was also well-intentioned, but unfortunately, due to his carelessness, all his kindness was immediately converted: "Oh, I'm sorry. Amy began to admit her mistake sincerely, "I was wrong, how could I say such things that are not in line with the facts?

Before the Magic Calendar, on the eve of every large-scale battle, the commanders of both sides would come face to face under the protection of the guards to discuss who was right and who was wrong, and most of the people who were able to participate in such conversations were extremely high-quality nobles, so they left a lot of famous speeches.

According to the research, the opening remarks of the mercenary king Amy are unprecedented. It's a pity that Mr. Amy's "scolding" also created a precedent, originally, dragging words in front of the battle was the patent of the aristocratic erudite soldiers, and later, more and more generals who didn't know a big word also joined the "scolding war". What's even more infuriating is that some sour and stinky literati in later generations praised the stinky feet of the mercenary king, saying that "this scolding washes away the weak wind of five generations, and opens a precedent for the world".

In fact, the text was transmitted word for word back to the Phanos barracks, where it is said to have been carved into stone, and all the soldiers touched it with their hands before each expedition to show their shame. All the orc warriors have firmly remembered the names of two people: Amy and Daqingshan!

Ay...... Daqingshan is messing with whom.

I can't say the words of the master:

In the East China Sea, something well-known happened.

As an individual, for some reason, I am unable to go to the Wako office in China to protest and apologize.

It just so happened that I had some advanced words from the little mercenary in my hand, which I sent out in advance to express my indignation.
