"What do they want to do?" Chad asked with a puzzled face looking at the camp that was gradually taking shape below.
At this moment, it has been a day and a half since the chaos. They not only gathered the Andis mountain people who had escaped, but also gathered a dozen Andis mountain people who learned that their village was destroyed and chased them all the way. , But the number did not increase but decreased, and there were only more than 80 mountain people following them.
They once went back to Sean and their hunter's hut, not only took new weapons, but also forced the old, weak, sick and disabled to stay.
In this regard, Chad and Woody also agree. The soldiers are expensive and not expensive. Too many indiscriminate replenishment will only reduce their overall combat effectiveness. Moreover, they are not without work. They need to rush to make changes overnight. Many arrows to support them at any time.
Whether it’s the rest of his life after the previous chaos or the Andis Hunter who later caught up with him, the longbows in his hands have been changed. The all-and-only Andis longbow is more expensive than the one that Shaun had used before. A smaller model, even so, the size is still scary.
"Good bow, really good bow, at least four twists of bow strength, the maximum range is no less than 400 steps."
"The bow is a good bow, but it’s a bit inconvenient to carry, and it’s not easy to hunt in the mountains, but it’s a good thing for such a guy to kill people."
"It's no wonder that Tang likes collecting brass camphor wood so much. His feelings are prepared on it. A wise man is a wise man. One step and ten steps, the realm is half Sangster higher than ours."
"The material is good, but the standard of the bow maker is average. You can tell that you are a novice at a glance. Brass camphor has a small disadvantage, that is, it is not oily. It is best to do it half a month in advance before taming the bow. Palm tree oil is the best immersion oil, followed by tallow oil. The tenacity and tension of the brass camphor wood tamed after immersion in the oil can be increased by more than half. It is placed on this giant bow made of pure brass camphor wood. The power can be improved more than once."
"Is there a remedy?"
"The bow has been shaped, the original method is no longer appropriate, but if it is wiped with oil-soaked linen cloth three times a day for a period of time, it should have a certain effect."
is worthy of being a veteran who has been playing bow since he was a child. Once he gets started, he can estimate the performance of the bow without even shooting arrows.
These old hunters all know that this is a good thing, a good thing to kill.
There are even hunters who are proficient in bow making. They directly found out some of the flaws on these long bows. Don’t underestimate these illiterate guys, who usually can’t make a fart with eight sticks. A master bow figure, it’s hard not to be proficient in anything after you have touched it for a lifetime. Moreover, the Andis mountain people have their own heritage. The manufacturing process of the compound bow of the hunting bow is more than ten times more complicated than that of the Andis longbow. , The manufacture of the Andis longbow is even more of a problem. The main reason why it is not popular is the functional problem. The Andis longbow is a murderous bow, and it is easy to use in most hunting situations.
Although the new longbow is not easy to hunt, it is not bad. Shoot a few more arrows and you will find the feeling.
What's more, this longbow has an absolute range advantage. When doing long-range coverage shooting, shooting accuracy has become irrelevant.
As soon as he got started, he could take out a longbow equipped with hundreds of people. Those mountain people were shocked by Sean's great hand, so he was more confident in his new leader.
On the contrary, the people who used to follow Sean are not surprised. They may have trial works in the longbows they use. This amount is just a fraction of Sean’s inventory. When they met Sean, He already has a hobby of collecting special woods. Compared with composite hunting bows that have a production cycle of several years, the manufacturing process of this single bow is very simple. As long as there is suitable wood, a skilled hand can only use three hourglasses. Make a handful.
The best wood for making Andis longbows is Cinnamomum camphora. The longbows made from this kind of camphor tree whose wood is brassy after drying in the shade are not only powerful, but also very beautiful, and the unique camphor incense makes it close to insects.
The stock of this kind of tree in the Andes can only be said to be ordinary. It is not that the Andes is not suitable for their survival, but the Andes mountain people have long discovered that it is a good material for making bows and crossbows. They are also used more when making hunting bows. As the main bone, the consumption is large, and the wild population naturally decreases.
Andean people have a habit of planting brass camphor trees around their villages and even in their homes for hundreds of years. Especially when they have a son, they plant one. When the son grows up, the brass camphor tree is just right. It’s the age to make a bow, so this tree has another name for it, an adult tree or a daughter-in-law.
Secondly, hard woods such as sequoia, elm, ash, oak, and black camphor are all available substitutes, but the performance is always worse.
The Andis longbow that Shaun brought out was made of the best brass camphor wood.
Collecting brass camphor wood is another well-known quirk of Sean. Most of the time, his consultation fee is a piece of high-quality brass camphor wood.
In fact, Sean was also forced to do this. Andis Shanren still stays at the barter level. The currency is so pitiful that most Shanren don’t even recognize it. They can get half a bag of wheat and a few animal skins. , Half of the beast meat is regarded as the home of the rich and the rich, especially the homes of the patients, who have long been dragged down. It is normal for the family to be surrounded by walls. If you want to start, you don’t have anything to ask for it. The incorruptible brass camphor wood is available. Most mountain people are equipped at home. Even if they don’t, they can go to the mountain to find it. It just takes a little effort. The most indispensable thing the mountain people lack is the strength.
This is also a strategic material, and it will be useful in the future to prepare more.
The number of receipts increased, and it slowly became a routine. Everyone thought that Sean liked this thing. Not only was it sent to the doctor, but some patients who were cured felt that Sean only received a piece of worthless money. Wood is a kind of help to them. I always feel that I owe him. I go hunting in the mountains. If I see a brass camphor tree, I will drag it back and give it to Sean. What's more, I will send some saplings directly. Now their village The back mountain has long been filled with large and small brass camphor trees.
This is also the reason why the children who have followed Sean always feel that Sean must be the person doing big things in the future-Sean can always do a trivial thing beyond everyone's imagination, such as adopting orphans, The same goes for collecting brass camphor wood.
There are many things that can’t be seen in front of them, but on the timeline of more than ten years, the significance of the impact is extraordinary.
On this point, Sean’s answer will never change. Before he did it, he really didn’t think so far. In fact, anyone who persists in a humble little thing for ten years will find it difficult to create. The imaginary achievements, such as swordsmanship, archery, riding, etc., only because the things he chooses to do will have a chain effect on other people, so I feel a little deeper.
"Stand by and wait for help, do you still have to ask such a simple question?"
"Where do their reinforcements come from?"
"Of course it is the Bastille, the sin city."
"How can they be sure that the other side will send reinforcements? The defenders of the Bastille never enter the mountain to hunt slaves themselves."
"These days, the great knights have all entered the mountains. What is impossible? There must be people with great status in this slave hunting team. You don't know the virtues of those people outside the mountain. You will save the lives of those so-called nobles. More important than the lives of countless farmers."
"If they really army into the mountains, the surrounding villages will be terrible. Those who exterminate humanity will definitely not mind pacifying the surrounding villages. Shall we send some people to notify them."
"Bah, let them know that they are clean only when they die! Those villages, which are not black or white, do not know how many dirty trades have been secretly made with that sin city, how many people have been sold out, and such a large team Entering the mountain, they are all blind? I didn't see any of them. Why didn't I see them sending someone to inform us? If something happened, they would have to believe that they would jump into the mountains."
"We can't let them pick up so smoothly. This will encourage their arrogance. When the time comes, they will drive the army into the mountains. Our life will be completely impossible."
"Yes, we must teach them a lesson they will never forget, let them know that Andis Mountain is not their back garden, and they can't enter if they want to."
"How to teach them a lesson? Just rely on us now? Even the opposing slave hunter team, we can't eat it, and how can we teach others a lesson? Do you still count on Clayton the Scavenger or Broken? McGee the Skull sent out an army to fight them recklessly?"
Chad, Woody and the others gathered around Sean and talked about each other. In terms of insights, they were more or less a little bit. After all, the shortest had been around Sean for five or six years, but the analysis came out. Everything stays on the surface. The deeper things, especially the overall situation, are not at all mentioned. The talent is a scarce attribute after all.
"This is a good opportunity." Seeing that they couldn't analyze more things, Sean gave a coffin theory~EbookFREE.me~ They were huddled in the castle, we could not help them, but went into the forest, It is our world, if we let them run rampant again, it would be a bit unreasonable. "
"The standing guard of the Bastille is known as eight thousand, but in terms of the size of the city, this number is very watery. If you count the slave army and slave hunters who can't even eat enough, you can make up this number. After breaking through the sky, the number of trained standing defenders is between 3,000 and 5,000. If they send troops into the mountain, the number will never exceed half of the defenders. At most, they will recruit some slave hunters to accompany the number. Then, there will be big loopholes in the defense of the Bastille. Bolton is a prudent person and will not put his lair in a dangerous situation."
"If it is well planned, they will either not come out. Once they come out, we will have the opportunity to give him a cruel score. It is not impossible to pull out this poisonous nail."
Xiao En did not analyze it to them, but followed his thoughts. The last sentence was already inaudible, and he didn't give them time to interrupt, he directly began to issue orders.
"Fitch, Jeffrey, you took two people separately, and took my autograph to find Clayton the Scavenger and McGee the Skullcrusher. They must be handed over to them. Any extra words, needless to say, No matter what the result is, you must come back as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Tang, we will complete the task even if we fight our lives."
"It goes without saying that the scavengers and skullcrushers have a lot of friendship with me. Even if they disagree, it won't be difficult for you. This is just a simple task of running errands. You only need to run fast enough. If you can't even do this thing well, you can only stay in the village as a teacher in your life."
Seeing what Shaun said was funny, everyone laughed kindly.
