A month later, the sky was clear blue and the sun was high in the sky.
Outside Whispering City, the Thorn Legion's training ground.
Amidst Emparo's shocked expression, Green easily pulled the bowstring to its full extent.
The longbow in Green's hand is a specially made longbow with a draw weight of about 200 pounds.
Whoosh! The arrow shot out by Green made a shuddering sound that shocked everyone.
Reina opened her eyes wide in astonishment, her facial expression frozen, her mouth opened into a big O shape, and she stood there like a wooden man.
...
Green has set aside some time every day for archery practice this month.
Green's original archery skills were already excellent, and after the time travel, Green's physical fitness has been continuously improving in all aspects. Green feels that the day when he will become a beyond-visual-range sharpshooter is getting closer and closer.
The 200-pound longbow was specially made by Green's craftsmen. Green estimated that with this specially made longbow, the effective killing range is about 300 meters.
After more than 300 meters, the penetration of the arrow will begin to drop sharply.
After Green shot the arrow, the worry about the dragon hidden deep in his heart was reduced a lot.
Green knew very well how terrifying the dragon's flames were in the later stages. Green certainly didn't want to see the soldiers he had trained with great difficulty destroyed by a few breaths of dragon's flames.
Green studied the genealogy of the Crab family very carefully and determined that the Crab family did not have the blood of the Targaryen dragon and could not tame the dragon.
Since he has confirmed that he cannot become a dragon rider, Green can only choose to become a dragon slayer.
A rational Green would certainly try to avoid a head-on conflict between his legion and the dragon. When the conflict is unavoidable, Green himself would be the most dangerous dragon hunter, apart from the bulky dragon-hunting crossbow.
Green can tolerate the existence of dragons, but when they threaten him, he is ready to destroy them at any time.
Start preparing now.
The carpenter will continue to make bows and arrows with higher draw weights. As long as Green can use them flexibly alone, the greater the power, the more satisfied Green will be.
...
Bang bang bang!
Ugh!
The people around applauded and cheered for the lord's archery skills.
Green quietly instructed the carpenter, "Make another bow of similar power. Leave space in the thickness for carving patterns, so the carving doesn't affect the strength of the longbow. For the pattern, use swamp marigolds as the main feature."
Green often used longbows with a pull force of 200 pounds in the future. He would not show longbows with a pull force of more than 200 pounds to the public and would practice in secret.
The standard Kleber longbow is too simple in appearance, so Green will bring a bow with him when he goes to King's Landing.
The longbow used by Green himself looks much more exquisite with the addition of exquisite carvings without affecting its normal use.
Everything Green uses represents the reputation of the Kleber family. In a world that values the reputation of the nobility, it would be much easier to cater to them as much as possible.
Green is ready to dominate the world, avoid unnecessary conflicts, and not let his energy be wasted by boring things.
...
Reina jumped up and down and said, "Lord, Lord! You are born with supernatural power!"
"Ah, following your training methods, the sisters' strength has increased a lot, and drawing the bow is getting easier! Only I haven't made much progress!"
"Reina, you need to be patient. You're still young, so don't rush things. Also, you're a commander now, and you have a high voice, which others don't have. It'll be very helpful when you command the soldiers."
The short Reina does have the loudest voice in the Thorn Legion. In this world where wars are fought by shouting, this ability is very advantageous for a commander.
"Well, my Lord, just wait and see. I will work hard. We are united!"
Green smiled and nodded: "I'm watching. Together we stand."
Emparo's voice came over: "Reina, line up for training!"
After Lena left, Emparo just walked in front of Green.
"Lord Green, do you need a place to rest for you?"
Green shook his head: "No need, I'll leave in a moment."
Green reached out and patted Emparo's left upper arm. "You've done well. You've always been very dedicated. Training soldiers is a repetitive and boring task every day. You have to get used to the boredom. Only by persevering can they survive longer on the battlefield."
"I've always remembered, Lord Green, what you said: Only by sweating more in daily training can we shed less blood on the battlefield."
...
The Thorn Corps gained fame in the last battle. On the basis of the original strength, they quickly recruited 180 spearwomen from the original territory. Together with the 200 spearwomen later absorbed from the mountain barbarian captives, the Thorn Corps now has a total of 500 soldiers.
As the commander of the legion, Amparuo knew that the lord was preparing to recapture the old land of the Kleber family and the next war was approaching. Amparuo was very attentive to the training of the Thorn Legion.
...
After the war, Green immediately formed a corps composed mainly of men and equipped with longbows as standard equipment. Its full name was "Kleber Longbow Corps", abbreviated as "Longbow Corps".
Green selected several people from the Kleber tribe to serve as commanders of the Kleber Longbow Corps. After the first conscription, there were about 100 people in the regiment.
In the future, the Kleber Longbow Corps will be the corps with the widest range of people. As the arsenal produces more and more longbows, the second career of most people in the territory will be longbowmen, and they will be reserve soldiers of the Kleber Longbow Corps.
For example, according to Lord Kleber's new law, the people of Kleber's territory must take one day out of every ten days to participate in longbow training. Green has made detailed regulations on the training content and standards. Those who are absent, disobey, or fail to meet the standards will face corresponding punishments.
Green also plans to hold a territory-wide archery competition for longbowmen of various levels every three months, with generous prizes to stimulate the enthusiasm of the people for longbow training.
This is exactly what Green is planning to create a nation of longbowmen.
...
After completing the recruitment of the Kleber Longbow Corps, Green established the "Kleber Spear Corps" with 3-meter spears as standard equipment, abbreviated as "Spear Corps".
The Kleber soldiers are loyal and reliable, and are veterans with rich combat experience. Green regards the soldiers as reserve commanders.
The commander of the Kleber Spear Corps was naturally selected by Green himself from among the tribe's soldiers. After a period of conscription and equipment replenishment, the Spear Corps had about 200 soldiers.
The Kleber territory lacked war horses and could not form a cavalry regiment for the time being. The purpose of establishing a spear regiment was to protect the longbowmen with dense formations during field battles, especially cavalry assaults.
In addition to the cavalry, the various branches of the army in the Kleber territory are relatively complete. With daily training and strict discipline, the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the Kleber Legion has been increasing.
