"How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine, sir."

Roland's eyes showed obvious admiration: "I feel like I can even shoot down an eagle in the sky now." ”

Lothar said in his heart, it should be impossible to shoot down the eagle, which is the same as after he just added points, he felt that he was infinitely powerful, but in fact, he only improved by three points.

He commanded, "Then try your bow, Leonard, and take the scrap armor I have brought with you, and fix it two hundred yards away." ”

Roland took out the missing arrow and put it on the bowstring.

Pulling the bowstring, his face showed a look of surprise.

In the end, his face turned red, and the bowstring was only less than half opened!

Whoosh –

The bow and arrow missed its target, grazed past the scale armor that was nailed to the side, and flew nowhere.

His face turned red: "My lord, my strength is not enough, I can't open this bow." ”

Lothar frowned.

Is it because the bow was originally used by woodland elf archers, not ordinary soldiers?

Come to think of it, the transfer of a system barracks cannot improve a person's physical fitness, but only provides combat experience, skills, and equipment.

The knights of the edict were even more miserable, and they did not even provide equipment.

Leonard slapped him on the back of the head: "You idiot, Ulm has just been blessed by his Heavenly Father, and he can ride on horseback like a seasoned rider, why can't you?" ”

Leonard knows the inside story, and this old guy is also Lothar's henchman, and he also belongs to that kind of person, capable, but not many subordinates, and it is good to be able to manage the construction of a new city.

Otherwise, Lothar would have added a burden to him.

"Don't worry, Roland, you try to shoot again with your old bow."

Lothar reassured: "You should know why this is happening. ”

Roland nodded: "We are not elves, our bodies are weaker than them, and our arms are not that long. ”

Roland once again pulled up his original hunting bow, this time, directly full, the arrow flew away, and hit the nail plate nailed to the wooden target.

If you look closely, it is actually three inches into the wood.

If you look at its arrowhead, it is unharmed, except that the shaft is a little cracked.

Bows and arrows were valuable in the army of this era, and even more so than arrows.

In this era, the reason for the weakness of the nomadic cavalry in the West was also due to their poor iron-smelting skills, and many arrows were still using bone arrowheads.

After examination, even if the bow is changed, only this special arrow is lost, and the scale armor and armor can be easily pierced within two hundred yards.

Plate armor was not in stock, so it was not inspected.

There's no need for that.

Because now the plate armor is widely assembled, and some of the rich Crusader knights, the poor knights can't even get together a set of chain mail, let alone the more expensive plate armor.

Many nobles bought a lot of plate armor, but often for collection or to show off.

Lothar hadn't thought about a civil war in the near future.

The Saracens were widely armed with scale armor, and it was enough to be able to penetrate most of these two types of armor.

As for the riding bow of the heavy archer, there is no need to mention it.

Although it was stronger than the thirty-pound light bow commonly used by the nomadic cavalry of this period, reaching fifty pounds.

However, it is difficult to exert force on horseback, which makes it difficult for the archer to effectively inflict damage on fully armored enemies when riding and shooting, and can only be fully powerful unless the horse is stopped and the bow is fired.

This kind of Byzantine mounted cavalry is more like the Oriental Jin Kingdom, like the counterpart of the Iron Floating Massacre.

At this time, although the national strength of the Dajin Kingdom has been declining, it has a vast territory and a population of tens of millions, and it is still the strongest one in the Eastern Empire, ranking before the Song and Liao.

In fact, in terms of population, the number of troops and the degree of wealth, the Song Dynasty was the strongest, but the Southern Song Dynasty court ...... Don't mention it.

"Brother Roland, may you let me try your bow?"

It was Zach who spoke.

As a heavy archer, his marksmanship is also quite good.

Roland handed the bow over with some reluctance: "You won't be able to use it if you give it to you." ”

Zach tried it, and when he saw that it was so, he was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "It's really useless, this bow is at least a hundred pounds." ”

"Give me a try, too."

Lothar coughed lightly and asked Roland to take the elven bow and draw it with an arrow.

In the surprised gaze of the two, it was directly full.

Whoosh –

The arrow was like a meteor, easily piercing the head of the wooden target, and flew away into the distance, without a trace.

"Your Excellency, you have so much strength!"

Lothar chuckled: "See, archers are not so easy to do, tomorrow you report to Knight Captain Jeanne to assist her in training new soldiers, and then pick some top-notch ones to come to the Tree of Life to change jobs." ”

A small wave of sainthood in front of people, Lothar is still very proud in her heart, she has not practiced archery for so long, and she has not regressed at all.

The bow is also a good bow, and it can hit the first shot without calibration, and it is indispensable.

Roland bowed: "Yes!" ”

A moment later.

Alternating branches and leaves, the arrows that flew far away to nowhere were transported to Lothar's side.

There was a whining from the Tree of Life, blaming Lothar for nearly shooting her bow and arrow at its rhizome.

"I'm sorry."

Lothar apologized, but there was no apology in her expression, the tree of life was so big, even if it was shot by a siege ballista, there would be no problem.

He slipped the arrow back into Roland's quiver: "Return to its rightful owner." ”

Roland hurriedly said, "Lord Xie, and Mr. Shenshu." ”

The branches and leaves swayed slightly, which was regarded as accepting Roland's gratitude.

Lothar encouraged, "Roland, work hard in the future, and I'm sure you'll be able to pull out this elven bow soon." ”

He didn't have the idea of keeping this elven bow for himself, and although this bow was a bit extraordinary, it was actually very good for ordinary people.

Roland is just a hunter in a small place, and his archery skills are more accurate, but looking at the grassland tribes, there are many people who are stronger than him.

After the transfer, this archery skill has improved, but the physical fitness is still the same as before, and it is not as strong as Zack, who used to serve as the city guard of Hebron.

However, Lothar has higher expectations for the new Woodland Marksman.

What is the concept of a hundred elite archers who can draw a bow weighing more than a hundred pounds?

Even in the early Qing army, which attached great importance to bows and arrows, they were all absolute masters.

Replace with armor-piercing arrows, whatever cavalry you equip with, all of them will shoot through the account, and look at the entire European continent, except for the extraordinary factors, they also belong to the top archers.

Entering the new Habsburgs, the inner fortress here is almost completely completed, and the buildings attached to the outer walls are quite complete, and it looks much neater and more orderly than it looked like a large construction site some time ago.

Leonard said respectfully, "My lord, the project is progressing quickly, and it won't be long before you can move in." ”

"There's no hurry, just build it within the time I specified."

On the New Habsburg bulletin board in Lothar, he saw a picture of a double-headed eagle with its wings outstretched, sheltering a couple with children in their arms.

"Who drew this?"

Leonard hurriedly said, "My lord, I drew it myself." ”

Lothar praised: "Very good, old Leonard didn't expect you to have this kind of ability?" ”

Leonard said sincerely: "Always let everyone know how their good days came about, and usually, every year they starved to death because of famine." ”

"Makes sense."

Lothar was thoughtful.

He is not a philanthropist, and he is good to the low-level commoners, at first, mostly because he was also from the civilian class and has more empathy for the common people.

Now, this reason is still at the top of the list, but it is also one of the main reasons why the low-level commoners are easier to buy than the infidels and local magnates.

"Leonard, get me a piece of paper, I'm going to write a letter to Coors."

Leonard's approach inspired him, and he planned to use the poster with a big-character poster... Big-character posters are unreliable, and now there are too many illiterates, or the form of stick figure comics is more practical.

"Yes."

"And thou shalt take fifty gold coins out of the treasury thyself as thy reward."

This is not a big deal, because there is a statue of an angel, and his people have always had a high opinion of him, and adding an internal propaganda method is just the icing on the cake.

...

Lothar stayed overnight in the New Habsburgs and then returned to Hebron.

Right now, there are no more chores to deal with in the near future, and he can enjoy some leisurely time again.

Of course, it is impossible to count only the two of Lothar and Prajna in the hunt of fire dragons.

Their output ability is limited, and the tyrannical dragon is the master with rough skin and thick flesh, even if the tyrannical dragon stands in front of him and lets himself attack, I am afraid it will not be able to kill it.

After all, Lothar's main means of attack, in addition to borrowing Jeanne's holy spear, is to use the "Dragon's Breath".

But the tyrannical dragon can bathe in lava, which is almost equivalent to fire immunity.

Despite the fact that this dragon species has no wings, in fact, even within the entire fire dragon group, the tyrannical dragon can be ranked in the upper middle ranks, and many winged fire dragons must be ranked below it.

】

In addition, if the lifespan of this tyrannical dragon is calculated, it is conservatively estimated to be five hundred years, which is already in the category of adult dragons.

It definitely takes Lothar, Jeanne, Frynn, Cellinina, and Prajna to form a team of five before they can consider dealing with it.

At the mansion of Hebron.

Lothar lay on Prajna's laplow and said to herself, "But it's not that you can't target it in advance. ”

"It is said that the tyrannosaurus should still be asleep, otherwise it would not have been discovered after so many years."

"While it's still asleep, let's have a wave of fires first, and then carry out a righteous group fight?"

"But what if it doesn't happen to cause a volcanic eruption?"

Praruo glanced down at Lothar, and couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth: "My lord, maybe that fire dragon is long gone?" After all, it was recorded in that ancient book that it has been many years since now. ”

Lothar smiled: "Not really, I have asked Nishaya to find someone to investigate for me, there is still the breath of a fire dragon there, there will be no mistake." ”

"Where is that?"

"The Harat Volcano Group, which is the territory of the Holy Descendant family, is very close to the two holy sites of Zoroastrianism."

Prajna frowned: "So, we have to cross the territory of Rauf first, and then enter Hashem?" ”

"Going deep into the enemy territory sounds a little dangerous, but it's already the closest place to us where dragons can infest, and if I stay in the territory, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to awaken the dragonborn bloodline in my life."

Lothar said earnestly.
