Chapter 163 Archery
At night, Lu He spent the night in the military camp.
The environment of the military camp is not comparable to that of the manor. The bed is not big, the bed board is hard, and the quilt is not soft.
Fortunately, there is a little maid Nicole to warm the bed, and the half-elf to sleep with him. Although the hardware is not good, the software is very powerful.
Nothing happened that night, and no one came to Lu He to express the idea of leaving.
I don’t know if they really don’t want to leave or are scared and dare not leave, but Lu He doesn’t care. He only looks at the result. He has given the opportunity. Now they choose to stay. If they don’t listen later, don’t blame him for being ruthless and killing.
The next day.
Lu He inspected the military camp accompanied by a group of officers.
First, the infantry regiment came to the shooting training ground under the leadership of Brigadier General William.
Under the command of the superiors, the infantry had moved the firearms and a large amount of ammunition needed for training.
Lu He took out a brand new rifle from the wooden box.
He was not familiar with firearms. He had only touched a gun a few times when he was doing tests in the Redwood Country.
However, the structure of this flintlock rifle is relatively simple. He understood the level of firearms in this world after a few glances.
Flint ignites and fires, there are rifling on the gun body, fixed ammunition, or breech loading.
Lu He didn't know which era of firearms on Earth this flintlock rifle was equivalent to, but in his opinion, it already had the prototype of a modern rifle.
"Now we will conduct the first training subject, fixed target shooting, the first group starts!"
Under William's order, as the captain shouted, a group of soldiers quickly ran to the white line.
Take off the gun hanging on the back, quickly set up the rifle in a standing position, load the bullet, pull the trigger, load the bullet, then open the trigger and aim.
A series of actions are extremely skilled, and the eyes don't need to look, but look at the situation in front.
"Fire!"
With a click of the finger, a neat gunshot sounded, and the targets a hundred meters away were all pierced.
"Continue!"
The soldiers quickly knelt on one knee, changed to another gun holding posture, and after the order was issued, another round of volleys was fired.
Lu He watched the soldiers' uniform movements with interest, and nodded slightly in praise.
No wonder the tactics of the knight group charge in the army of this world gradually declined. In addition to the extraordinary retreat, it is also related to the rapid development of firearms.
A single soldier holding such a firearm is not worth mentioning.
But once they join forces to shoot, they are very sure to strangle the knight attendants of average strength.
The knight attendants' bodies have not transformed and cannot withstand such bullets. Unless they charge in heavy armor, it will be a massacre if they rush in, and they will die if they fail to rush in.
After kneeling and shooting, there is also the action of lying on the ground and shooting, which is considered to have completed the entire subject one.
Next is the Knights.
When Lu He arrived at the Knights camp, they were conducting archery training.
The bows and arrows are all heavy bows of more than 200 pounds, similar in style to the recurve bows on Earth, made of all metal. The power of this bow and arrow is amazing, which cannot be compared with muskets.
With special arrows, it is no problem to shoot through a car with one arrow, and it will kill if it is shot on the human body.
Of course, ordinary archers can't draw the bow. Only the knights who have embarked on the path of transcendence can draw the bow.
There are heavy bows for long-range combat and knight swords for close combat. When charging, the knights and horses are all covered with heavy armor. This is why the Knights are called the main combat force of the legion.
This Knights is also the fundamental reason why the Soros family can firmly control the entire legion. From the head of the legion to the captains of the company below, they are all members of the Soros family.
"Captain Solon, welcome to the Mountain Wing Knights for inspection."
Eugene carried a sword in his left hand and saluted with his right hand in a standard knight's salute. Then he raised his hand and waved it. The knights who were originally practicing in the archery field quickly lined up and lined up in three teams.
Lu He nodded and looked at these knights.
All of them were tall and strong men. Every muscle on their bodies was bulging high, strong and powerful, as if they contained infinite power. They had broad chests and backs, strong waists and abdomens, and thick arms. They stood there like a row of iron towers, motionless.
Their faces were grim, and they unconsciously exuded a bloody aura that echoed in the air.
Obviously, each of them was an elite warrior who had survived the cruel battlefield.
Unlike those honest infantrymen, Lu He was looking at these knights, and the knights were also looking at him.
Their eyes were curious or scrutinizing. Most of them had never seen Lu He, and only a few knights who had received professional training in Soros Manor had met him.
"Ika, your name is Ika, right?" Lu He asked, looking at a middle-level knight attendant in the middle of the first row.
"Yes, master!" Ika stepped on the spot and responded loudly with excitement.
Ika didn't expect that the master of the family still remembered him. He trained with the master for a few days two years ago. There were many people at that time, and he was just an inconspicuous one among them.
Lu He laughed and patted his shoulder.
There were memories of this knight attendant in the original owner's memory fragments. Lu He also remembered him when he sorted out his memories because Ika's deep green eyes were very unique.
Lu He walked around and found that most of these knights and attendants looked at him with curiosity and suspicion.
Curiosity might be because they saw the new head of the Soros family for the first time.
Suspicion was probably because he was too young and wondered if he had the ability to steer the Soros ship.
Lu He understood.
The army has always been a place where the strong prey on the weak. Only when you show enough strength will others give you respect.
What they respect now is the surname Thoros and the family behind it, not him as a person.
Lu He's eyes swept over them like a substance, then without saying a word, he turned around and walked to the rack in front of the team and picked up the largest war bow on it.
The bow is more than two meters long, and the whole is gray-brown. The bow is covered with metal-specific patterns. The morning sun shines lightly on the bow, reflecting a slightly black and sharp luster.
He saw these heavy bows and felt itchy. He planned to shoot an arrow to satisfy his desire and conquer these strong knights.
"Legion Commander, this is my war bow. I'll string it for you."
A voice came from behind. It was a bald man with an ordinary face, but his arms were unusually strong.
Du Tan took the bow from Lu He's hand, and with a touch of his right hand, a string was already on the bow, and handed it to Lu He.
Then he stared at him with burning eyes.
Lu He took the bow and glanced around casually.
To the north of the archery field is a large area of bare peaks, undulating, with some of the mountains sparsely dotted with tall tung trees, which are full of grapefruit-like fruits.
After finding the target, Lu He stretched the muscles on his back one by one, and in an instant, they were transmitted to the sacrospinal muscles in his waist, and at the same time, his spine slowly crawled like a big snake.
A large number of organs in the body are running in an orderly manner, transmitting and accumulating some terrible power.
The next moment, he suddenly opened the bow.
In an instant, the arrow was shot out.
Du Tan did not blink, he had been concentrating on staring at the legion commander, but he still did not see the bow drawing action clearly.
It was not until he saw the buzzing and trembling bowstring that he knew the arrow had been shot out.
Boom!
The arrow was shot out, and the friction with the air produced a deafening explosion. The tail of the arrow brought a long-lasting white airflow, like a long rainbow piercing the sun, directly hitting a big tree on the top of the mountain.
Sergeant Scott on the tree saw the arrow.
Because he had been concentrating on the training ground of the Alpine Wing Knights since yesterday.
Sergeant Scott's mission was to confirm that the new commander of the Highland City Legion was the young man of the Soros family.
So he had been lurking here.
He knew that if the new commander came to inspect the army, he would definitely come to the Knights.
The result was indeed so, and he was not disappointed. He waited for the new commander early the next morning.
After confirming that it was correct, Scott was about to go back quietly to report when an arrow flew over.
He thought he had seen it wrong, so he blinked his eyes, and the cold light flashing on the tip of the arrow was clearly visible.
The arrow flew past at a high speed, and the strong airflow it rolled up tore the tree into pieces.
Puff!
In the fluttering leaves, the arrow hit his chest accurately, and the huge impact force took his body away.
It was nailed hard on the rock wall behind.
