Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor Chapter 358 - 213: Dragonbone Longbow

Rein watched as the Longbown’s fingers moved slightly, just raised, and finally lowered again.

"Forget it, sir, I can only barely draw it with all my strength,"

Rein shook his head slightly, "It’s better not to be so embarrassed."

"The bow is indeed powerful; without trying hard, I can only draw it to two-thirds."

Luo De held the Dragonbone Longbow, suddenly a bit curious,

"I wonder to what extent it can be drawn... co on, let’s try outside."

Luo De was about to get up, but Rein called him back,

"My lord, why not try the crossbows you had make the other day first?"

"Finished?"

Luo De was a little surprised, "You work quite fast."

"The materials for the hand crossbow are sowhat similar to bows and arrows, all ready in the warehouse."

Rein said sowhat sheepishly, "These days I’ve mainly been studying its structure, spending so ti with the carpenter."

"Alright, go bring it over."

Luo De nodded.

"Please wait a mont."

Luo De said a word and quickly ran out to have soone bring the items.

Rein valued Luo De’s instructions highly, placing the hand crossbow in a box, carefully carrying it to present to Luo De.

Luo De, however, was quite casual, lifting the box’s lid and single-handedly picking up the hand crossbow.

"Did you oil this?"

"Yes, it prevents it from rotting." Rein replied.

"Very good."

Luo De patted Rein’s shoulder, "I forgot to tell you, you actually made it yourself."

After speaking, Luo De casually took a crossbow bolt from the box and attempted to load it onto the crossbow.

The hand crossbow’s string wasn’t very tight, and Luo De, single-handedly, easily loaded it.

The hand crossbow naturally couldn’t compare to the Dragonbone Longbow, so Luo De carried it and walked forward dozens of ters, aid at a target, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang."

The crossbow bolt hit the bullseye.

"Not bad, the first ti making it requires no accuracy adjustnt?"

Luo De looked at Rein with curiosity.

Rein, with his head down, said a bit embarrassed, "We adjusted it ourselves, my lord..."

"Haha, alright then."

Luo De held the hand crossbow and handed it to Vivian, "Want to try it?"

"Of course!"

Vivian bent forward slightly and took it with both hands, ran to the target to retrieve the bolt.

When Luo De installed the bolt earlier, she watched closely and, without any guidance, installed it herself.

Vivian then walked to a spot about a dozen ters from the target and pulled the trigger.

With a bang, it also hit the bullseye.

"Bullseye!"

Vivian excitedly held up the hand crossbow, "I hit it!"

"Yes, everyone saw it."

Luo De was sowhat helpless, "At a distance of ten ters, you definitely would..."

Luo De reached out to take back the hand crossbow, but Vivian dodged.

"Let play with it a bit longer!"

Vivian hugged Luo De’s arm, "It’s way more fun than a bow and arrow!"

Luo De didn’t say anything, but turned to look at Rein,

"Do you need to take this hand crossbow back as a reference for future production?"

"No need, my lord, we already have a reference model made."

Rein replied with a smile, "It’s fine to leave this with you."

"You’re very thorough in your work."

Luo De smiled, turned his head, and said to Vivian, "Then it can stay with you."

"Thank you!"

Vivian rushed forward and gave Luo De a big kiss, causing the guard and Rein to turn away awkwardly.

"Alright, I’ll teach you; there’s a leather pouch here that can hang at your waist."

The hand crossbow is easy to carry, can be hung at the waist or hidden beneath a cloak when hung at the back.

Luo De taught Vivian the usual ways, familiarizing her with it for future distribution to the Mountain Cat People.

Afterward, Luo De took Rein and others out of the town to test the range and power of the Dragonbone Longbow.

...

...

Icefield Mountain Range.

The north wind roared across the icy plain, with snowflakes cutting rcilessly like knives against their cheeks.

The Ice and Snow Race’s leader, Seronie, tightly gripped the reins with one hand, and with the other, stroked the mane of the massive wild boar-like beast beneath her.

Seronie’s gaze was cold, focusing intently on the battlefield ahead.

"Oh great goddess..."

Seronie’s voice involuntarily trembled.

Seronie had been hunting with her father since she was eight, having faced life and death, and experienced fierce battles.

Yet the scene before her filled even her with fear.

The Lizardn, those Mixed Bloods, had already turned into dirty, hideous monsters.

Their bodies swelled, muscles knotted, and were covered with black and red scales.

Pus oozed beneath the scales, and from afar, the scent of decay was palpable.

Their eyes were pitch-black, their pupils blood red, like devils.

"Leader!"

A two-ter-tall female warrior of the Ice and Snow Race rushed beside Seronie, her voice trembling,

"Those monsters have broken through the line; Deidara and Samo have already died in battle!"

"Damn it!"

Seronie gritted her teeth, "You take the tribe and leave, I’ll hold them off!"

"No, leader, the tribe needs you!"

The female warrior shouted without hesitation, "Let go!"

"You can’t stop them,"

Seronie spoke coldly, "Withdraw to the depths where blood freezes; these monsters can’t withstand the temperature there!"

"Go quickly, or no one will make it out!"

"Yes, leader!"

The female warrior bit her lip, turned, and rushed towards the mountain nook behind.

Seronie’s gaze was icy, lifting the chain warhamr in her hands,

"Everyone, listen to my command!"

Her roar overwheld the north wind: "Kill all these monsters to buy ti for the children!"

"Kill!"

Seronie led the charge, swinging the warhamr before her, sending two monsters flying instantly!

The giant bear-boar beneath her charged left and right, turning one monster after another into at chunks!

The dozen or so warriors of the Ice Snow Race around her were equally fierce, their war axes and warhamrs reaping the monsters’ lives.

Almost every mber of the Ice Snow Race was strong in build, generally over 1.8 ters tall, all fierce warriors.
