“Alright, we’ll put these compound bows away and put them in the storeroom of the castle.” Lucas was helpless. He had to hide treasures whenever he had some. Being too advanced might not be a good thing.
“Young master, it’s mostly because we can’t fully utilize the power of this compound bow. It’s a waste to give it to us. It’s better for us to have a recurve bow.” Mina shook her ears and said softly.
“Indeed, only people on the level of divine archers can exert the full power of this compound bow.” Ben nodded in agreement.
“Divine archers? What counts as divine archers?” Lucas was a bit curious.
Mina’s eyes narrowed slightly and said in a serious tone, “All elves are naturally born divine archers. They can hit targets from dozens of meters away using regular longbows. If they use compound bows, they could probably hit targets from 200 meters away.”
Spoiler [collapse]“You saw people from the elven race?” Lucas was surprised. It was stronger than a few pistols. It seems like he couldn’t underestimate the people of this world.
“I have encountered them a few times in the Secluded Forbidden Mountains Range.” Mina said, nodding her head.
A trace of sadness flashed in Ben’s eyes, and he said, “I saw some by chance in the capital.”
Lucas frowned, thinking that elves aren’t simple, since they were admired by the two. He was also curious if the elves had pointy ears or not.
If there was a chance, he must abduct… cough cough… invite some elves to serve him. It would also be good to form an elven divine archer team. This might be the other world version of a sniper unit.
“Young master, although the recurve bow is very good. But it would take several months in order to let the newbie soldiers learn how to use it and be able to shoot accurately.” Ben calmed his mood and went directly to the main point.
The corner of Lucas’s mouth rose. He had already considered this problem. He asked, “As of now, how many people can master the recurve bow within 10 days?”
Ben took out a roll of sheepskin, and said, “There are 20 people who are hunters. They constantly use bow and arrows to hunt, so it shouldn’t be difficult for them to master the recurve bow.”
“Very good. There’s a few more than I thought. Give them the recurve bows for them to use.” Lucas came to another box and took out a crossbow. This was his killer weapon.
“Young master, is this also a bow and arrow? It seems a bit small.” Mina said curiously.
“Look at how I use it first.” Lucas quickly loaded the arrow, aimed at the target, and pulled the trigger.
“Whoosh!”
The arrow immediately nailed on the bullseye, which made Mina’s and Ben’s eyes glow.
“Young master let me try.” Ben took the crossbow and shot 7 or 8 shots in a row.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
Mina also had a lot of fun shooting arrows.
“How is it? With this crossbow, even people who don’t know how to use bows can hit people after training for a dozen days, right?” Lucas said, smiling.
“No problem. This is a bit easier and we only need to exercise arm strength." Ben said excitedly.
“Ok, then I’ll give these to you. I want at least 50 archers. You can do the rest yourself.” Lucas would be invincible after he has 50 archers. Because in this era the combat power of the army is low. Of course, the opponents can’t have a much bigger army than his.
There were also heavy cavalry and heavy infantry, which were still in process. Once he increases the production of steel, Lucas would really be invincible. Lucas was excited when he thought of steel. He didn't expect there to be an iron mine and a coal mine not far from Sedona City.
However, the iron-making technology of this era is behind, and so the amount of iron produced annually was horribly small.
After Lucas took out the steel crafting method, the iron craftsmen almost fainted from excitement. Of course, they were now obediently crafting steel for Lucas.
Under Lucas’s request, the amount of steel produced increased each day.
Lucas didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when coal was discovered. The people of this era didn’t know that coal could be burned. They still used wood, and people mostly used charcoal.
Speaking of the discovery of coal, Lucas was lucky. He saw a few naughty kids playing with coal on the streets. Looking at the black coal from far away, he had thought it was a gem, but when he got a closer look, he realized that it was coal.
After a series of questions, Lucas finally learned that there was a natural open-pit coal mine. It would be a lot easier to craft iron with coal. Lucas also had a few plans that required coal. Sometimes, energy represents civilization.
“Let’s go! Let’s see whether or not those craftsmen made what I want or not.” Lucas took Mina out of the warehouse, leaving Ben to arrange everything.
They went to the mountain behind the castle when they got out of the military camp. There were many hidden workshops, no, in Earth’s words, they were laboratories.
Excluding the military camp, Lucas had invested the most gold coins in those workshops. Maybe in the future, Lucas would invest more and more into these workshops, because these were the other world version of laboratories. Of course, they were very simple right now, with there only being wooden houses and few people.
When Lucas came to this place, he saw a few people holding rocks and yelling, while James was holding a sword and blocking them.
“Quickly get out of the way, I need to tell Lord City Lord that we succeeded, we really succeeded…”
James was unmoved and said, “If you have anything to say, you can just tell it to me and I will help you transfer the words. Without Lord Lucas’s notice, none of you can leave.”
