Blue Silver Grass Guide

"Don't worry, Your Highness, Ling Yi will choose a skilled senior blacksmith to teach him the forging skills of the crossbow when he returns."

At the third prince's residence, Ling Yi promised with a serious face: "In about half a year at most, we will be able to provide His Highness with the first batch of three thousand crossbows and matching crossbow arrows."

"In the future, as long as the raw materials can keep up, at least a thousand crossbows can be made every month, whether it is to increase the number of users or to replace them after wear and tear."

"Okay!" Xue Ye frowned with joy, and looked at Ling Yi with eyes full of admiration: "In this case, I will definitely advise my father, and I will not hesitate to give him a title!"

If Ling Yi can do what he said, then they [Tian Dou Empire] will definitely be able to build an army with crossbows as the main means of attack.

Xue Ye, under Ling Yi's guidance, had just tested the power of the crossbow, and it was enough to penetrate three layers of iron armor within fifty steps!

This kind of lethality has exceeded the first soul skills of many attack-type soul masters, and is even close to the power of the second soul skills.

In addition, it is extremely convenient to aim and replace arrows. With the same arrow reserve, crossbowmen have greater endurance than archers. With all these factors, the combat effectiveness of a crossbowmen legion must be far greater than that of archers. Super Archer Corps!

The most important thing is that it is much lower than the cost of training a qualified archer!

As the third prince Xue Ye who is about to lead the establishment of such an excellent crossbow regiment, he will definitely gain a lot of points in the eyes of Emperor Xue Rong!

In addition, we have previously won the right to spread "Blue Silver Rice" in the two northern provinces of [Tian Dou Empire]. As long as we arrange it well for the next sowing season, when the harvest season comes, the harvest will truly double, then he will have a snowy night The general will have both military and civilian achievements. In this way, won't the crown prince's position be secure?

Overjoyed, Xue Ye set up a very high-standard banquet at her prince's residence to specially entertain Ling Yi and Dugu Bo.

These two people, one is a great talent who can help him win in the battle for the throne, and the other is a powerful soul saint, they are both worthy of Xue Ye's efforts to win over.

After a luncheon that was enjoyed by both host and guest, Ling Yi declined Xue Ye's offer to stay, and left the third prince's residence with Dugu Bo, who was already a little impatient, and headed back to the small courtyard in the east of the city.

An hour later, the third prince's residence, study room.

Xue Ye and Xue Xing sat opposite each other. On the desk between them was the exquisite crossbow that Ling Yi had given to Xue Ye before.

After Xue Xing took his hand and looked at it carefully, he praised it again: "It's so ingenious! It's such a wonderful thing!"

As a prince who longed for the battlefield and wanted to be a general or marshal, rather than coveting the throne, Xuexing fell more and more in love with the crossbow, a weapon that could exert great power on the battlefield.

"alright."

Xue Ye knocked on the table, interrupting Xue Xing's love, and asked in a deep voice: "Ninth brother, as far as I know, you have a good relationship with Artimos of the border army?"

"It's pretty good." Xue Xing raised his head, looked at Xue Ye, and replied: "Third brother, you know, when I was in the academy, I formed a team, and Artimus was my Teammate for a year.”

"After that, he graduated, returned to his family, inherited his title, and served in the border army. Over the years, although I haven't contacted him very frequently, our relationship has never been broken."

After hearing Xue Xing's introduction, Xue Ye nodded noncommittally.

Xue Xing glanced at the crossbow in his hand and asked Xue Ye curiously: "Third brother, aren't you planning to establish a crossbow corps among the border troops through Artimos?"

Xue Ye had already relayed the crossbow-making information that Ling Yi had described to him to Xue Xing. Naturally, Xue Xing immediately understood some of his third brother's thoughts.

"This is not a good choice." Xuexing said:

"Not to mention that Altimus's main influence is in the logistics area, and he has no hands in the army. Just the soul master families on the border army, all of them are intertwined. If we really want to establish a crossbow army, then Whether it can still be under your control, I can’t say.”

"of course not."

Xue Ye shook her head, denied Xue Xing's guess, and said:

"I'm just going to use Artimus to help me find someone among the border troops."

"Looking for someone?" Xuexing became even more curious after hearing this: "Who is it? Third brother, you are so interested in me?"

Faced with Xue Xing's curious gaze, Xue Ye did not hide anything and said directly: "A centurion leader named 'Kufan'. At least, he was a centurion leader when Ling Yi was still in the frontier army."

"Kufan? Centurion leader?" Xue Xing raised an eyebrow: "With this position, among the frontier troops, the most powerful one is a second-level soul master, right? Maybe he is also a first-level soul master. What's so special about this person? Where?"

In the [Tian Dou Empire], as long as the strength reaches the third-ring soul master, as long as they are willing to loyal to the empire, they can obtain the title of baron.

And if you join the military, you will at least start as a leader of a thousand people.

And if you are a great soul master, you will not be able to sit in this position without a few great military achievements.

Therefore, is a mere centurion leader with no more than a great soul master level of strength worthy of the attention of Xue Ye, the dignified third prince of the [Tian Dou Empire] and a strong contender for the crown prince position?

Xue Ye said calmly: "According to what Ling Yi said, this Ku Fan's martial spirit is called "Hurricane Soul Chasing Crossbow" and is the prototype of the crossbow in your hand. "

"oh?"

Hearing what Xue Ye said, Xue Xing was startled, then a look of interest appeared on his face, and he murmured: "So that's it, I just don't know what the power of his martial spirit is, and what happens when he uses his soul skills? "

Immediately, Xue Xing asked Xue Ye: "Third brother, are you going to transfer that Ku Fan to your subordinates?"

"Yes." Xue Ye nodded and said, "If he is worthy of training, I will find a way to place him into the "Royal Knights". "

"What?!"

Xue Xing was shocked and almost stood up. He looked at Xue Ye and said in disbelief: "Third brother, this is not a joke. If my father knows about it..."

"Don't worry." Xue Ye waved her hand and said, "I will report it to my father in advance."

"There are fifty thousand members of the "Royal Knights". With Kufan's strength being able to serve as a centurion leader in the border army, there is no problem in entering. "

"But if he can only be a soldier, it's not worth my time."

"I will show the power of the crossbow to my father first. As long as Ling Yi can really provide three thousand crossbows in six months, and then there will be a follow-up supply of one thousand crossbows every month, I believe my father will not refuse to invest in the fifty thousand "Royal" "Knights", a separate crossbow cavalry came out..."

"Crossbow Cavalry..." Xuexing repeated the term subconsciously, and then asked: "Third Brother, what you mean is, if that Ku Fan has potential, are you going to recommend him to be the leader of this crossbow cavalry?"

Xue Ye didn't nod or shake his head, but simply said lightly: "Let Altimus find the person first."

As for whether the centurion leader named 'Kufan' was willing to be loyal to him Xue Ye, neither Xue Ye nor Xue Xing had considered this issue.

Who is Xue Ye? [Tian Dou Empire] The third prince is very likely to become the Tian Dou Emperor. Would a small centenarian in the frontier army refuse such a golden thigh?

It is only natural to be loyal to such a future master of the empire!
