Everyone's eyes followed the arrow's trajectory until it hit the scarecrow. The arrow missed quickly and accurately, drawing a beautiful arc in mid-air. But what shocked everyone was the next scene. Only the arrow was visible. After the bullet penetrated the round shield hanging on the scarecrow, it pulled the scarecrow up from the ground and hit the scarecrow behind it. After hitting three scarecrows in a row, it rolled away for a few meters before stopping.
"Hiss?" Everyone took a breath of cold air. Not to mention how strong the penetrating power of this iron arrow was, even if it hit it with this weight, it would be unbearable.
"Yes." Ulf nodded with satisfaction. This iron arrow was prepared to deal with the Norse shield wall. The Norse shield wall was strong and thick, flexible and difficult to break through. Ordinary bows, arrows and javelins There is no way to break it.
"Lord, do you need the next step?" The blacksmiths also had smiles on their faces. After working day and night, the weapon was finally completed. Not only can this crossbow shoot out arrows, but it also has a special function in the middle part of the bow string. You can add a skin bag, put stones, etc. into the skin bag, and you can also throw it.
"Let's see." Ulf agreed to the blacksmiths' suggestion.
In full view of everyone, the blacksmiths put the stones into the leather bags, and then fully pulled the bow strings again. This time the test will make everyone watching around them avoid.
"emission."
Following the command, the mallet struck the wooden wedge, the bow string made a buzzing sound, and the stones in the leather bag flew out in scattered shapes.
"Wow~~."
Stones fell from the sky and hit the ground like raindrops, creating large pits on the ground.
"There is no chance of winning, eight hundred against eight hundred, each of you must kill two of us." Bjorn laughed again, knowing whether he was mocking or telling the truth.
"Ulf can do it. That is an internal matter. I will only use my own soldiers." He Sujing was very sure about this. She was sure that Ulf had panicked and chosen a way to attack him because of a small rebellion in the territory. Asking for help from our allies will only make others think that Ulf is old, which will cause irreversible consequences for Sweden.
"Standardizing the process can give them a little more time. Of course, if they want to be lazy, then after the enemy comes, you swear that you will let them taste the blood eagle first." Vargas narrowed his eyes, hot said to the blacksmiths.
"Blood Eagle?" The blacksmiths trembled with fear after hearing this. Not many Northmen could endure that terrible torture.
"Seventy units." Vargas raised his left hand, stretched out two fingers, and said to the blacksmiths.
"You know." Vargas stood next to the lord's chair. I held the chair with my hands, thinking hard.
"One week, seventeen units, that can't be completed!" The blacksmith said with a grimace. We are the dwarf god blacksmiths of Odin, and we can sleep or sleep.
"That's it! The addition of seventeen units must be completed within a week." Vargas frowned, touched his chin, and said to the blacksmith.
"And you know that He Sujing will ask other vassals and allies to send troops at the same time, so you are basically opponents." Bjorn sighed and said to Vargas.
"Seventy units?" The blacksmiths took a breath. That was a task that was simply impossible for us to complete.
"Thank you, little lord." The blacksmiths breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked Vargas.
"Vargas, that request is too difficult." Ange also frowned. You can also see that the weapon is weak, but it is doubtful that it will be easy for the blacksmiths to make seventy of them in one go.
"If there's no fight left, just admit defeat. Bjorn is just like a North woman." Ange said with a heavy frown and a convinced expression.
"Don't wait to thank you. They may need to work overtime and continue working." Vargas patted one of the blacksmiths on the shoulder and stared at me.
"You give them an idea. Their blacksmiths are responsible for completing the key parts of the crossbow. The other parts are left to others. Just give them a standard." Vargas focused on it, and so did I. It is to embarrass those blacksmiths. It is really a matter of life and death. Vargas needs weapons that can defeat the enemy, and only in small quantities.
Able to gain an advantage for oneself.
"Is that okay?" Vargas's eyes gradually became warm, and my expression made the blacksmiths tremble.
"The war with Ulf will make you lose everything." Bjorn sat behind the wooden table on the right side of Vargas, and I held a glass of mead and said while drinking it.
"What you said is the truth. Is there anyone else out there?" He Sujing glanced at the almost empty room. My bluntness was indeed harsh, but it also told the truth. Does anyone want to talk to Tie Gu? Ulf fights.
"You understand." Seeing Vargas's firm attitude, the blacksmiths dared to be lazy and had no choice but to agree.
"The morale and experience of the soldiers are uneven. Can we deal with these battle-hardened warriors in Ulf's hands?" Luther shook his head.
"Little Lord, even if you eat, drink and sleep, you can still build seventy of them in a short period of time." The blacksmith who was patted on the shoulder by Vargas looked at his companions, swallowed and said to He Sujing said.
"Sigrid is still under our control." Luther, who had been silent all this time, said angrily.
"Then~~." The blacksmith was determined. This was the first time we had heard of that method, but it was a bad idea if we thought about it.
"Just kill two bad guys, you can do it." Ange crossed his arms angrily.
"You will reward them." Vargas expressed satisfaction with the work of the blacksmiths. The range and accuracy of the crossbow had achieved its purpose.
"Having said that, let's think about how to fight, right?" He Sujing turned around, clapped her hands, and said to her companions. When the blacksmiths pushed the crossbow back to the blacksmith shop, Vargas took Ange and others back to the lord's house. I need to hold a war meeting after the war, so the small door of the lord's house is closed. Any idlers, Norse warriors in armor and armed with weapons guard the entrance.
"Hmm, boring." Bjorn's eyes lit up, and I raised my arms. It must be more expensive to shoot iron arrows, but it must be so for the sake of lethality. Throwing stones like this They are very cheap and affordable, and you can find things like stones everywhere, but once they fall like raindrops on the heads and bodies of people with or without armor, they will definitely break the skin and flesh.
"Oh? Do you still want to build it?" The blacksmiths were surprised. They made a bed crossbow, which didn't make us tired, but Vargas seemed to want us to build even less.
