The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Chapter 7 Kleb Longbow

King's Landing, the Red Keep.

Tyrion Lannister has brown-blonde curly hair covering his forehead, and the soft leather coat he is wearing is embroidered with the roar of a wild lion. He is over one meter tall, with a big head and a small body, a protruding forehead and a weird walking style.

"Hey, brother, didn't you notice me? What are you doing? My lovely big sister, did you become your personal messenger?"

Jaime Lannister shrugged his shoulders and slowed his pace.

Tyrion Lannis followed Jaime: "Jaime, you should learn to take the initiative to approach me. My most important role in Lannister is to stand next to you and set off your majesty anytime and anywhere."

James sighed helplessly: "Okay, you win, I took the initiative to explain that I was indeed going to deliver the letter."

Tyrion immediately put on a smiling face: "My lonely sister, can't you bear to steal someone at last? Come on, show me."

The corners of James' lips twitched and he held up the envelope: "Unfortunately, it has been sealed with mud."

James' hand holding the envelope swung, avoiding Tyrion's hands that were jumping to grab the envelope: "It's not a secret, I can tell you the content."

"Oh, it seems I guessed wrong."

"Well, don't always make malicious assumptions about Cersei, you are siblings."

"Aha, let me expect my dear sister to kiss my little face, unless the Seven Gods take a nap."

"Tyrion, do not disrespect the Seven Gods."

"Seven Gods, you don't care what I say."

Tyrion patted James' thigh: "Tell me about it."

"It's a young baron from Crab Claw Peninsula. Cersei plans to take him with her on this Kingswood hunt."

"What unexpected news. Sister seems to be in a good mood?"

"This is an unsolicited letter from the young baron. That boy is a flatterer."

"Haha, James, you don't seem to like this little baron. Are you afraid that he will rob your sister of your brother's favor?"

"It's rare for you two to agree. I'm not that nasty. Young people should focus more on swordsmanship instead of flattery."

"That's not a good thing, James. As a member of the Kingsguard, I can take the opportunity to teach him a lesson and add a lesson to his growth."

Tyrion paused and then said: "Brother, the Crab Claw Peninsula is a place where birds don't poop. You are a Lannister. You will never understand what it is like to be short of money. If you don't have enough to eat, who can I will be in the mood to play swordsmanship. The Crab Claw Peninsula has a tradition of direct loyalty to the queen. This is their ancestral craft."

"Brother, this is a good thing. At least the young baron is not stupid. He knows that Lannister is rich, right?"

James was a little embarrassed: "You all have the truth, I'm suitable for running errands."

Three days later, the sky was clear and blue.

In Qingyu City, inside the bow-making room.

Green picked up the longbow that was about 2 meters long from the wooden stand, opened it and tested the pulling force, which was about 110 to 120 pounds.

In order to survive, most of the people in Kleb's territory have to farm and hunt. Most of the people can use bows and arrows. This draw force can be used as a starter and is easy to adapt to.

In conjunction with systematic training, the long-term plan is to add longbows of 150 pounds, 180 pounds, etc. in the future.

The longbow is imitated from the English longbow in the memory of the previous life. It is made with simple craftsmanship and has a long range.

"Lord, I can make three in a day now."

"me too!"

"me too."

……………………

The people who answered Green's question were carpenters. Their original occupation was craftsmen who made bows and arrows. There were about 10 of them.

Green's original plan was to divide the longbow production process into several parts and establish a simplified version of the assembly line to increase efficiency.

Green later retracted his original idea. The first difficulty was that there were no suitable factory managers. Without effective supervision and management, quality and efficiency would only decline simultaneously.

The demand for longbows will not increase suddenly in the short term, and the current production speed can meet the requirements. So I decided to let them stick to the traditional method first. When the craftsmen get together, you can see the production speed of others by looking up. It can be regarded as a space for competition, which can be regarded as a small step of progress.

Green warned himself that going too far was never enough, and he had to take it step by step and not take too big a step, as it would easily tear a vulnerable part.

Overall, Green was satisfied. He randomly picked up a few longbows and tried them out before giving some details.

Green announced to everyone that the longbow was named Clayber's Longbow.

……………………

Knight Pell was well-known in the territory and quickly completed the mission.

The 100-person survey corps has begun simple deployment training.

Most of the soldiers of the Survey Corps are from the Orions, and they bring their own bows, arrows and short swords.

Just according to Green's plan, the standard weapons of the Survey Corps are short bows and short swords.

Green's definition of the Survey Corps is mountainous leather-armored light infantry whose main mission is reconnaissance and surprise attacks.

Because the honest soldiers of the Survey Corps brought their own weapons, it made the Whispering City arsenal much easier.

Others were fine, but Green found that the arrows that came with Orion Gate were not good. Most of them were made by Orion himself, and the quality varied.

Arrows have insufficient lethality, so the main task of the Whispering City Blacksmith's Shop now is to focus on making excellent arrows.

Greene feels like there's always too much to do.

First of all, helmets are an issue again.

There must be no extra helmets in the arsenal. The 200 clan soldiers in Kleib's territory also had to go through the arsenal to get them all.

Green thought of the turbans popular among pirates.

The gray linen that had the largest inventory in the warehouse was cut into the size of a towel and tied around the head to serve as a makeshift military cap.

100 people uniformly tied their headscarves with gray linen, giving them a bit of a regular army feel.

[Survey Corps Cohesion +1]

Next is armor.

In the future, Green's goal is to wear leather armor over chainmail as the standard equipment for all members of the Survey Corps.

Now, the goal is too far.

There is plenty of leather in the warehouse of Whispering City, but almost all of it is soft leather, with only a small amount of hard leather.

The main material used to make leather armor is hard leather.

In order to investigate every soldier in the corps and ensure basic protection, Green mobilized all the free people in the city to make leather armor together.

Time is tight, and details and beauty can only be given up first.

Cut, make holes, put on straps, and a simple leather armor is completed.

Emparo's Thorn Corps cannot be ignored either. As a lord, one cannot favor one over the other.

But according to the original method, the number of crusts will definitely not be satisfied.

Green thought for a while and made a decision. The new leather armor in Kleb's territory would cancel the back armor and only retain the front armor that protects the chest and abdomen. This would give about twice as much leather armor and could barely equip the Thorn Corps.

Doesn’t your back need protection?

As long as you are always facing the enemy, is there any need to worry about your back?

Green's family motto has been temporarily added to a new one - never turn back.
