Chapter 20 Good things should be recommended to the Queen

Lyon was dumbfounded. He looked down at the bow in his hand and then felt the abundant physical and mental strength within his body.

"I...I feel like I can shoot dozens more times," he muttered to himself.

In the past, after completing such an extreme shooting exercise, he needed at least a minute to recover.

Now, it feels as easy as if I'd just shot a cotton ball.

Lin Mo's lips twitched as he listened, feeling as if something had rolled over his face.

"Again!" Fendona's voice trembled.

"Target: a 2,000-meter cliff face!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo thought the princess had gone mad.

Two kilometers?

That's a distance even a catapult couldn't reach!

Shoot with a bow and arrow?

Are you kidding me!

Lyon's eyes became incredibly intense at that moment.

He drew his bow again, this time pouring more spiritual energy into the composite bow and enchanting the arrows.

The pale blue light on the bow became dazzling!

Aim!

"call out--!"

The arrow disappeared.

All the elves turned their gaze to the blurry mountain wall in the distance.

Time seemed to stand still.

one second.

two seconds.

"boom!"

A muffled thud came from a great distance, and a cloud of visible smoke and dust exploded on the mountainside two kilometers away!

Hit!

It really hit the mark!

The entire workshop fell silent at first, then erupted in deafening cheers!

"Incredible! This is a miracle!" Master Eld exclaimed, tears streaming down his face.

"A legendary weapon that only legendary dwarven craftsmen could achieve... I never thought I'd be able to make one in my lifetime..."

Lin Mo, watching from the side, was also astonished; he couldn't even see it from two thousand meters away.

Unexpectedly, Leon's eyesight, combined with this modified composite bow, not only doubled the effective range, but he was also able to hit the target.

Outrageous!

According to the think tank's data, compound bows require less effort to maintain their position compared to traditional bows and arrows, and the saved effort is reflected in the intervals between individual shots.

The overall speed of arrow firing and the speed of arrow flight are more than five times faster.

An elven archer equipped with this weapon is at least five times more strategically valuable than before!

Lin Mo's technological assistance has directly upgraded archers from the era of cold weapons into Barrett snipers in one step.

Fendona clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms, but she felt no pain.

She looked at Lin Mo, her beautiful purple eyes filled with gratitude!

Testing continues.

The repeating crossbow was also brought up.

Its role is very clear: melee combat, firepower coverage, making up for the last weakness of the Elf Archer.

During a break in Lyon's testing, an elven guard picked up a repeating crossbow with a magazine and ten bolts already loaded.

He easily cocked the mechanism without needing to aim precisely.

He repeatedly pulled the trigger, aiming at a row of human-shaped straw targets ten meters away.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The dense, whistling sounds blended together, like the whispers of death.

Ten crossbow bolts were unleashed in a mere three seconds, forming an impenetrable barrage of death that completely enveloped the area.

All ten targets were hit.

If it were replaced by demon cannon fodder charging at the front, they could wipe out an entire area in an instant!

It perfectly solves the weakness of the Elf Archer in close combat.

More importantly, both composite bows and repeating crossbows have greatly reduced the requirements for users.

Inside the workshop, all the elves were caught up in a frenzy.

They stroked these new weapons as if they were stroking their most beloved girl.

Fendona held the composite bow and pulled it repeatedly, feeling the wonderful point where it saved effort.

He picked up the crossbow again and made "whoosh" sounds in the air, like a child who had just received a new toy.

Although she was a princess whose main profession was mage, not a full-time warrior, the requirements for the user of these two weapons were too low.

Whether it's drawing the string of a compound bow or operating a repeating crossbow, she can easily complete it multiple times.

The effective range of the repeating crossbow has also been measured. Thanks to the high-quality materials of Terra, it can accurately hit unarmored targets within 30 meters.

Within ten meters, it is enough to pierce through the rough leather armor of a low-level demon, which means it can effectively kill elite demon creatures.

Most importantly, even ordinary elves who are physically weaker and usually in charge of logistics can become qualified warriors immediately after picking up these weapons!

The concept of "everyone being a soldier" is no longer just a morale-boosting slogan, but has become a reality.

Next came the arrow test.

Using the metal materials and techniques provided by the Great Xia, the elven artisans created a new batch of triangular arrowheads.

An arrow that had pierced through the rock was retrieved, its tip only slightly chipped.

A craftsman picked up a file and polished it a few times, restoring its sharpness to its original state.

For more severe cases, quench the wood and then hammer it a few times, and it can be reused!

Compared to ordinary arrows that deform when they pierce bone and leather armor, they are infinitely superior!

The logistical nightmare that plagued the Elven race—the predicament where every arrow fired was essentially wasted—was finally put to an end.

Seeing these mind-blowing scenes before her, Fendona trembled with excitement.

She thought of her compatriots who had died on the battlefield, of her homeland that had been devoured by demonic flames, and of the indelible despair in the eyes of her people.

But now, everything is about to change.

She slowly walked up to Lin Mo, and all the elves' eyes were focused on her.

Under the watchful eyes of all her people, the noble elven princess bowed deeply to Lin Mo, who came from another world.

They performed the most sublime ceremony of the Elven race.

"Lord Lin Mo, please accept Fendona's sincerest gratitude."

Her voice was trembling and tearful, yet it held an unprecedented power of hope.

"On behalf of all the heroes who perished in the war, and on behalf of all my people who struggled to survive, I thank you for the hope you brought."

Lin Mo accepted the greeting without hesitation.

He knew that he represented not himself, but the motherland behind him that was struggling against the fate of the entire planet.

He helped Fendona up, looked at her red-rimmed eyes, and said softly:

"Hurry up and arrange production. Time waits for no one, and the demons don't take holidays."

Fendona nodded emphatically, her face still wet with tears, but her eyes had become incredibly resolute.

She turned to face all the craftsmen and guards and gave a loud order.

"Master Eld! Set aside all other tasks, gather all the craftsmen, and work day and night to forge these two divine artifacts and arrows."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Master Eld responded loudly, his voice booming like a bell, his old face showing a fervor even greater than that of a young man.

Fendona then looked at Lyon:

"Select the most elite messengers, and send them off immediately with sample crossbows!"

"Report everything that has happened here to Her Majesty the Queen of Avinor!"

"Yes, sir!"

This was not merely a revolution in weaponry, but a turning point in the fate of the entire race.

She wanted the Queen and all the elves to see this ray of light piercing the darkness!

Soon, the most agile elven messenger, carrying a brand-new composite bow, a small repeating crossbow at his waist, and newly crafted arrows and methods, rode the fastest antelope out of the camp.

Carrying this "divine artifact" that could overturn the course of the elven wars, they sped towards Avenor, the capital of the elven kingdom.
