Master Overlord - Chapter 366
When he left the study, pace said solemnly to his sister who was holding his wife’s arm: “Eugenie, you shouldn’t tell your father about bows and arrows!”
“Why? I’m helping you! Otherwise you’ll quarrel with your father again.” pace’s words made Eugenie very dissatisfied. “And what I said is true. As long as I follow the design of Warcraft bow, I can really make a new bow and arrow. You should thank me well. Right, Jenny?”
Jenny didn’t open her mouth. She didn’t know anything about such things. She just turned her head and cast a puzzled look at her husband.
“What you all think is too simple. It’s not helping me at all!”
“What’s that? Should you have a big quarrel with your father?” Eugenie was dissatisfied. “Or do you not want this reverse bow to be used by the Knights of the family? Pace, this is not honor, but a fool!”
Pace shook his head and explained, “Eugenie, do you also think that Lord Arthur can win the war just because of the Warcraft bow? My father doesn’t know the changes of the river collar, but you do. You’ve seen it with your own eyes!”
“Yes, weapons like Warcraft bow are indeed very good, but in the current situation of the Kingdom, a big war may happen at any time, and the Knights of the family have not practiced riding and shooting at all.”
Eugenie suddenly stopped, frowned and thought for a moment, and looked at pace with a worried face: “how long will it take to retrain the Knights’ riding and shooting skills to be fully skilled…”
“It’s not that simple.” pace also stopped. At this moment, the three have reached the open path outside the study, and their guards and maidens are waiting in front.
Looking at Eugenie, pace said anxiously, “my father must think that Lord Arthur won the war by relying on Warcraft bow and harassment.”
“Isn’t it?”
“Yes, but it’s not just that! Think about it. If you were given 100 family knights who hold Warcraft bows and are proficient in riding and shooting, could you kill at least ten times your enemies in a completely strange area? And it was completed when you crossed the swamp, went deep alone, without any supplies or reinforcements. Can you do it?
“If it’s just food, you can rely on looting… Through the swamp…” Eugenie frowned and muttered, finally shook her head, looked at pace and said, “the strange environment is a big trouble. It’s possible once, but it will certainly be seriously damaged… I can’t do it.”
“No one can do it!” pace said firmly. “Lord Arthur not only led the army to kill the enemy, but also destroyed several vassal farms, and it is said that there was little loss!”
“You mean… He collected information about Andorra county.” Eugenie suddenly understood. “It must be so. He must have a very detailed map of Andorra County in his hand, otherwise it would not be possible to do all this! So, he planned to go to war with the Barrett family very early?”
Eugene opened her mouth slightly and was frightened by her guess.
Pace coagulated for a moment and then said, “I don’t know whether there is a plan to go to war… Lord Arthur is a peace loving man, as can be seen from his notice. Collecting information from Andorra should be for preparedness in advance.”
Hearing the speech, Eugenie quickly nodded her head. No matter what she thought, fighting with the Barrett family was not in the interests of Lingfeng castle. He couldn’t have such a plan.
“That guy is really far away… But fortunately he is so prepared…” Eugenie murmured, surprised and admired Arthur’s foresight.
“Therefore, this war is not just the victory of weapons at all. My father’s thinking is too simple! For other nobles, to imitate the combat methods of Lingfeng Castle requires a lot of time training in addition to a good bow, and even completely abandon the combat experience of the previous knight team. This is not something that can be done in a short time. On the contrary, it may reduce the combat power and become worse than before.”
Eugenie thought carefully about what pace said, while Anne looked at her husband with starlight. Although she didn’t know much about war, she could feel that pace must be right.
“Well, you’re right. You’re really a little better at war than my father and me.” after a stingy compliment, Eugenie immediately said discontentedly, “since you know all this, why didn’t you explain it directly to your father just now and come here to teach me a lesson. You must have meant it!”
“I don’t want to quarrel with my father…” pace pursed his lips and looked at Eugenie with teasing eyes. “And when your father praised you just now, aren’t you very happy, and you deliberately winked at me and looked proud!” with that, he raised his hand ferociously and rubbed Eugenie’s hair.
“Annoying! Jenny, look at him. He’s a guy who doesn’t know how to be grateful!” as soon as she knocked off the palm of her head, Eugenie immediately complained to one side, while Jenny straightened her hair with a smile.
“Stupid pace! Although you’re right, it’s not that you can’t use the combat method of riding and shooting.” Eugene said the plan she had just thought of angrily, “We can select a team of 60 or 70 people, so that the training can be completed quickly and will not affect the overall strength of the family. When there is a war, let them run to the enemy’s rear and engage in sabotage, just like Lingfeng Castle this time. It must have unexpected results!”
Pace also thought of this method. It is nothing more than adding a special assault team in addition to the cavalry and infantry.
“What are you proud of? Wait until your bow and arrow can be successfully made! Maybe my father thought of it at that time!”
During the discussion, neither brother nor sister realized that many things around them were changing little by little because of the river collar.
……
Two days later, Xiangguo town fortress.
Arthur, who is busy discussing the ransom with milt, will not know for the time being. Their battle with the Barrett family not only surprised the nobles, but also set off a discussion on military reform.
“Really, what did the Duke do long ago? When Ted Barrett launched the war, he didn’t see him stop it. The guy went back and undermined the peace talks, and he didn’t say anything. Now we have won, but we wrote a letter asking us to release Ted Barrett…” looking at the letter paper on the table, milt muttered discontentedly.
Now he doesn’t want any gold coins to compensate, just the hostages of the Barrett family.
Only in this way can he be at ease. Otherwise, who knows if this bastard will lead the troops to retaliate immediately after they release Ted Barrett. The troops of the first army can’t be stationed here all the time.
