After bending slightly, he retreated.
Lynn glanced one more time at the Bow and Arrow Workshop before turning and leaving.
Whether archers or crossbowmen, the number of soldiers for long-range attacks has begun to increase.
Given that they are all clad in metal armor, naturally, the more soldiers there are for long-range attacks, the more formidable the combat power!
Just like Duke Cangyu, one of the Three Great Dukes of the Karedi Empire.
His Feiyu Army alone has tens of thousands of archers!
What does this mean?
You should know.
Even Kakasong City only has a population of fifty thousand.
Duke Cangyu alone has over ten thousand archers.
With such a terrifying number, if these archers perform mass volleys in batches.
The areas covered by their rain of arrows would surely darken the skies, obscuring daylight!
If the volleyed arrows are armor-piercing arrows.
Even enemy heavy cavalry or heavy infantry clad in standard armor would be buried beneath the rain of arrows!
Even if they can’t completely annihilate the charging enemy forces.
At the very least, it would reduce nearly half of the enemy’s effective power!
Only then, dispatch heavy cavalry, light cavalry, and infantry to wrap up.
A war can be easily won!
Of course.
Not all Lords can, like Duke Cangyu.
Maintain such a massive archery force!
First of all.
Duke Cangyu’s territory is in the mountainous regions on the edge of the Alarde Forest.
Because the arable land area in his territory is limited.
The residents of the territory have always relied on hunting as the mainstay, and farming as a supplement for a living.
After countless generations of development, nearly everyone is skilled in hunting and archery.
Secondly.
Because they are adjacent to the Alarde Forest, they can cut down a large amount of timber suitable for producing longbows and arrows.
Moreover, due to the high demand for bows and arrows, the industry for producing bows and arrows is thriving, with many craftsmen engaged in bow and arrow production.
Providing Duke Cangyu with favorable conditions for recruiting archers and maintaining bows and arrows afterward.
Also because of this,
Even though Duke Cangyu’s cavalry power is not as good as the other two Great Dukes.
He can still firmly hold the position of one of the Three Great Dukes of the Karedi Empire!
Naturally, Lynn does not hope to have tens of thousands of archers like Duke Cangyu.
But at the very least.
To weaken the enemy’s effective power with long-range weapons!
Suppressing his thoughts for the moment.
He walked out of the Handicraft Workshop District.
Passing by one red brick house after another, Lynn arrived at the Lord’s Square.
He happened to see Rose, leading the squad of soldiers clad in composite armor, heading out of the town.
The soldiers were lined up neatly, their black-gray armor glistening coldly under the sunlight.
As they marched, the armor parts constantly clashed and rubbed against each other.
Emitting waves of metallic clanging sounds.
Clang~ Clang~
Wherever the squad of soldiers passed, the working townsmen, hearing the sound, couldn’t help but turn their heads.
When they saw the neat marching squad, their eyes were full of envy.
Among these townsmen, some had raised their hands when Rose was selecting soldiers.
However, because their physical strength was too weak and frail.
They missed the previous rounds of soldier selection.
Nonetheless.
