Chapter 3: The English Longbow and the Tower of Arrows(1/2)

In the previous espionage mission, Zhu Peng did his best to fulfill the host's long-cherished wish whenever he went to a plane world. Using the concept of the wizard world this is called reducing the backlash of mental power, using the concept of Taoism this is called killing the world, and using the concept of Buddhism it is called killing the cause and effect.

Of course, in the last Canglong world, Zhu Peng wanted to destroy the world, he could not reach an agreement with Tang Yin, so he could only withstand the backlash and swallow the other party. Fortunately, with Zhu Peng's mental strength and a tough heart, Tang Yin's backlash, which had not yet fully grown, was insignificant and irrelevant.

In fact, this is the mainstream of the spy wizard's behavior, but Zhu Peng has only done it once and does not intend to do it often.

Clean up the scene and deal with all traces that may have been traced to the clues. Then Zhu Peng or Daxiu Victor strode out of the alley and came to the street. Except for his slightly pale face, he was no different from ordinary people at this time.

(If you inherit Daxiu Victor's identity, you will have to take over his business. Two days later, there will be the top ten competitions of the Imperial Military Academy of Santantino. Daxiu was also plotted because of his strong strength. I cannot give up on the opportunity to ride this ride, but with the strength of my current ordinary people...) After completing the corpse puppet hiding, Zhu Peng's current actual combat power has declined.

Or how to say that the corpse puppet's body hiding is a very cost-effective ability for the demon, because it is relatively perfectly hiding and is relatively perfectly restrained. Zhu Peng cannot use his combat skills with all his strength, nor does he have the formal mage power that Daxiu Victor originally had. In his current state, he will be laughed at to death if he laughs.

After all, the essence inside has been replaced.

(If you want to gain strength quickly, do you still have to return to the battlefield?) Your eyes slid past the military recruitment station, but after thinking for a while, Zhu Peng did not really walk over, but turned around and looked for a timber shop.

As a great wizard who has been successfully promoted to extraordinary (if outsiders have intervened, Zhu Peng has actually survived the heavenly tribulation), even though his power no longer exists, his thinking and experience are still there.

If it were hundreds of years ago, facing the current situation, Zhu Peng would only carry the sword to the battlefield to fight for life and death, half of the kung fu, half of the destiny, but now he doesn't need it. He can easily find a safer and easier way to achieve his goal.

In the wood furniture shop, Zhu Peng spent some money to find a tough log about two meters high. In addition to the strong, there are only long-range city defense soldiers on the battlefield. It is not that the archers huddled in the arrow tower are not in danger of life. When the intensity of the war increases, it is common for a big fireball to hit an arrow tower and an arrow tower to kill people.

But for Zhu Peng, as long as he has enough distance, his ability to react, make decisions, and avoid dangers is much better than that of ordinary people.

The material selection of English longbows is very careful and the production requirements are rigorous, but in fact the craftsmanship is not very complicated. A master with superb skills can make a longbow within two hours. Zhu Peng has never done it, but his brain power and hands-on ability are not comparable to that of a master of bow making. A qualified longbow can be made in more than an hour.

In the world of high magic and high martial arts, it is difficult to develop power including technology and even other aspects, because humans have inertial thinking. When your strength is stronger and the range of arrow pressure is farther, the archers will naturally develop in the direction of improving themselves faster, accurate and ruthless.

There are also elves in the Immortal Continent. This race is still full of archery masters, and the standard for evaluating archery masters is still a longer range, a perfect shot of arrows, and even greater lethality and destructive power. But in fact, rough wars do not require so delicately.

After making the long bow on his hand, Zhu Peng even had the pleasure of going to the grocery store to buy some horn tendons to make bow strings and strengthen the bow body.

From the perspective of craftsmanship, the production process of the English longbow is actually far inferior to that of the ancient Chinese composite bows, but it is simple to make and highly practical, and is really suitable for the battlefield. There is no need to hide the advantages of the strong, just learn it and integrate it into yourself.

After completing the compound enhanced version of the ancient England longbow, Zhu Peng bought two bags of 58 steel arrows in total. Old Gore in the weapon store obviously no longer recognizes Zhu Peng, not to mention that this time it was a normal payment transaction. Apart from thinking that the young man with white face and black hair in front of him was quite handsome, Old Gore did not think that he was anything different from ordinary people.

St. Tantino, recruitment station.

"Name."

"Daxiu-Victor."

"age."

“Seventeen.”

"Are you still a virgin?"

"...It should be, it should be true." Zhu Peng didn't know how to answer this question. Although he had been to such a peerless beauties in his long life, he should have seen many more than the soldiers in front of him, but now he has inherited the life and identity of Daxiu Victor, so now he should be considered to have returned to the ranks of virgins, right?

It's really a beautiful youth that people miss. Some old monster thought shamelessly,

“Hahahahaha…”

However, Zhu Peng's answer made the veterans and gangsters at the conscription station laugh loudly, and teasing the newcomers was one of the few fun they had.

"Boy, I suggest you spend five bronze coins on the street to find Sister Tux to experience it, so that you will not even smell a woman when you are torn apart by the devil. Then you will come to this world for nothing." The registered soldier was rough and not rough. He looked at Daxiu Victor's face at this time, and he was really kind-hearted.

"No need. When I make money, I'll ask you to go to the "Dark Night" to vent the fire. The 16 or 17-year-old girl there is the most tender and lively." Zhu Peng's calm explanation made the soldiers and gangsters at the registration station stunned for a moment, and their laughter was suffocated.

"Okay, then we'll wait for you kid to come back alive to treat you." As he said that, the one-eyed man pressed the seal heavily on the registration. In this way, Zhu Peng became a temporary military mercenary.

What is temporary employment?

You do all the tiring work, and you will take the blame, and you will not have the credit. But the procedures are relatively simple and it is relatively easy to get started. If you work diligently, work hard, and have some eyes, you may not have the chance to become a regular person. It can be regarded as a way to rise from the bottom.

St. Tantino is the front line of war between the Empire and the Endless Abyss World. Every year, large armies and huge military expenditures are added. Even the greedy officials are afraid to intercept the military supplies here. Once the demon breaks through St. Tantino, it is not a joke. If the slightest responsibility is involved, the family will be raided and the family will be slaughtered.

As long as you have money, there will naturally be a large number of people coming in. Many people are afraid of death, and more people are afraid of poverty and suffering.

There are more opportunities, more gold coins, and several imperial powerhouses in the fortress of Santantino. In comparison, even the terrifying abyss world seems not that scary.

More than fifty temporary mercenary archers and melee teams, including experienced hunters and obviously fledgling rookies. Adding an appropriate number of newcomers to such a high-intensity war can efficiently polish them into veterans, but the death rate will be slightly higher... Is it just a temporary mercenary? Is it a voluntary joining, and there is no need for the Empire to pay the pension anyway.

"Everyone, have you voluntarily fight against darkness for the empire and for the glory of His Majesty the God of the Underworld?"

"Yes, I'm willing."

"Very good, may the glory of the God of the Underworld always protect your souls." Unexpectedly, after registration, he was not sent directly to the battlefield. Fifty temporary mercenary archers first came to a small church and experienced a pledge of baptism.

During the entire ceremony, although the old pastor seemed a little mechanical and casual, Zhu Peng really felt a hidden force spreading over him and others as the ceremony was.

(This is... the combination of the belief system and the magical way?) This supreme supreme emperor in the empire seems to be not just a living body of extraordinary ranks, but also seems to be quite powerful in the path he chooses.

The God of the Underworld, the entire set of baptism rituals, and the power spread through the rituals, Zhu Peng kept himself in his own life in front of this force. Although the possibility of being discovered is not high, once his extraordinary essence is discovered by the God of the Underworld, imprisoned, and live dissection are all light.

Facing the God of the Underworld who has been entrenched in this world for many years, even in his heyday, he may not be able to fight.

Fortunately, the ceremony was not particularly complicated because it was held many times a day, and it didn't take long. Zhu Peng stepped on the hard stone and finally arrived at the front line of the battlefield.

Fifty-eight temporary mercenary archers were arranged at a relatively edge of the arrow tower. This was undoubtedly not a good location, with a long distance, and from time to time, it was affected by the ranged spells of the Abyss Demon.

………………………………………

The world of endless abyss, infinite.

The life of the demon in the abyss is infinite.

Even the summoning spells are saved. As long as the space cracks in the abyss world always exist, there will naturally be a continuous stream of demons of various levels attracted by the fragrance of the main plane world. Compared with the poor and sinister abyss, the main plane is full of delicious meat screaming and running everywhere for the demons.

Therefore, for the Immortal Empire, the war on the front has been ongoing for a hundred years and the pressure is huge, but for the demons... we have been on standstill for hundreds of years, okay?

Only the immortal emperors, beast gods, light gods, and these peerless powerful men, who are known as the "God of the Underworld", are the obstacles for the abyss lords to invade and devour this world. As for the Hundred Years of War under Saint Tantino.

In the eyes of high-level demons, it is at most called a game, immigration or hunting, and there is no word for war.

However, for ordinary humans, the hot breath produced by the breath of the abyss lord is a life-threatening fire poison.

The bones and blood flowing under the city of Santantino can already form a river, and they are jointly supporting the tragic and cost of the war.

Zhu Peng was squeezed out of the window of the arrow tower, and there were more than a dozen hunters in the same group. They were locals and had a lot of people and good equipment. Therefore, they snatched most of the good positions. Everyone came up to make money. After being baptized by the God of the Underworld, the more souls he gave to him during this day, the higher the record and the more bounties he received.

Good arrows are not cheap. If you don’t have enough experience or are sophisticated, you will not only not be able to earn a bounty, but you may lose money.

Zhu Peng didn't mind being excluded. He took out the steel arrow from the arrow bag and placed it horizontally on the wooden table. The twenty-eight bags were arranged neatly and were squeezed to the wooden table inside the arrow tower. It can be seen how bad his position was. Normally, this is no longer a position to shoot, because he cannot get close to the arrow tower window, so how can he not even see the demon?

Among the hunters, a tall and stout man saw the steel arrow with a cold light on Zhu Peng's table, and looked at the iron-headed or even wolf-toothed arrows on his side. His face looked ugly. He was about to attack when an old hunter beside him stopped him.

The old hunter's eyes swept over Zhu Peng with a calm expression, and swept over the compound longbow in his hand that was almost taller than others. People who stand out in the crowd and remain independent of the world are either fools or strong people.

If you are a strong man, you will be a fool if you go over and provoke yourself and others. If you are a fool, you will always be unable to hold it. Then you can step on whatever you want. There is no need to take the lead.

"Are you stupid? You can't even see the target in your position, how can you shoot?" The old hunter had such a scheming, and some people were gone.

Among the hunter and saber, there is actually a pretty girl with short hair. In this era, short hair is not an advanced aesthetic. It can only be said that she has been hanging among hunters since she was a child. She is completely ignorant, with a melon-shaped face and beeswax-like skin, like a strong and energetic beast.

At this moment, the gate of the abyss opened again.

The mainland's efforts to seal the Abyss Gate have never stopped, but it has been countless efforts and dedication, but it can only barely seal it for two to three days a month. The moment when the Abyss Gate opens again after the seal is the most violent moment of the demon tide.

The powerful spell attacks of the covering power cannot stop the demons, throwing stones, and even more so, the black and red demons seem to be rushing towards the tide behind the dam, carrying a terrifying force that pulls the sky and swallows up everything.

As the demons rushed over, the entire Santantino Fortress was silenced. Because it was high in the Arrow Tower, the shooters felt it clearer. Some newcomers who participated in the hiring mission for the first time turned pale.

Strong, this thing is invisible and intangible, but it does exist. When you face a car that is hitting you quickly, you are stunned and stupid, not sure whether to avoid it left or right, and at that moment you are suppressed by "strong".

Being suppressed by momentum, mind and mind are controlled, and mind are both devastated.

"You can't stand anymore, get out quickly. You are useless like you, and you don't even have the courage to swing your sword when the demon comes." There is still a moment before the demon tide really swept over. At this time, a female officer wearing armor walked into the arrow tower. It was obvious that she was the temporary commander of Zhili for everyone.

With long chestnut hair, sky blue eyes, and agile and heroic figure, in this world, there are many powerful women among the world, and some bright colors have been added to the army. However, it is undoubtedly not easy for women to get to the top in the military at home.

A few archers in the arrow tower who were directly frightened by the demons actually left. If there were no orders from the female officers, they would certainly be deserters on the battlefield. But now with the orders from the female officers as talismans, although they would still be despised by others when they abandoned the formation and fled, the law enforcement team was too lazy to chop off their heads anymore.

Time on the battlefield was extremely tense. The demons running on the ground were slower, but the demons in the sky had already arrived first. However, the female officer did not order the shooting. A archer was on the string and was very nervous. He accidentally let the arrow fly out... Of course, it was impossible to hit such an arrow. It fell before the demon army in the sky.

"Without my order, I will not allow you to shoot even an arrow!" The archer himself didn't care much about the arrow. After all, the arrow was his own, but the female officer rushed up like a tiger and beat him up.

Zhu Peng could see that she still held back, and did not really take action, she just established her authority.

"Since you have already entered the fortress and entered this arrow tower, everything must be listened to my command. I allow you to attack so that you can attack. Otherwise, even if the demon has rushed to the tip of your nose, you will not allow it to attack!" At this time, everyone's demons had already flown within the range of the shooting range, but the female officer seemed to have not seen it, and looked at everyone coldly, and even pulled out the sword at her waist. Who would have done the order to chop off directly if they didn't obey the order.

Compared to the restless people in the Arrow Tower, Zhu Peng calmly adjusted his state. In the tide of demons, the Fortress of St. Tantino has been persisting for hundreds of years. He will never be beaten down as soon as he comes. No one is the protagonist of the story. All changes in all things in the world must follow objective laws.

Sure enough, as the demons in the sky broke into the forbidden zone, large areas of lightning magic circles appeared in the sky of the Fortress of Santanto. The blue and white light chains instantly ignited the group of bats like dark clouds in the sky into large areas of fire.

Even if there are occasionally a few relatively strong demons, they are shot and killed by tower-town archers among several other major archery towers.

Legendary strong men have single-player enemy-level combat power, and legendary demons can usually be 1v2, 1v3, 1v4, 1v5 or even more. However, this common sense cannot be promoted in the Fortress of Santantino. Five legendary archers are suppressed in the five main archery towers of the Fortress of Santantino. The two demigod-level mages are in charge of the magic circle here. The entire St. Tantino Fortress has been operated for hundreds of years. With the immeasurable financial and manpower investment, it is almost a demigod wizard tower that cannot fly.

Here, even if the legendary demons come to the team, they will only die one by one. At best, they can only withstand two more times and have more chances to escape when the opportunity is not good.

The reason why the female officer in Zhu Peng's arrow tower was prohibited from shooting was not only to establish her authority, but also because she knew that the St. Tantino Fortress did not need this little damage output from her side. Instead of wasting arrows, it would be better to wait for the low-squad demon tide to surge over and then shoot.

In fact, this choice is also a maximum benefit option for temporary mercenary archers in the tower.

After the baptism of the God of the Underworld, every archer can kill many demons accurately. These temporary mercenaries come to seek wealth, so that they can waste their arrows on high-level demons that they can't get rid of at all. Of course, it is meaningless.

In the arrow tower, there are probably only Zhu Peng and the old hunter who can see through all this. Everyone else just thinks... this woman is so fierce, so let's listen to her for the time being.

With this idea, everyone ushered in the impact of the demon frenzy of the endless abyss world.

………………………………………

No matter how disgusted, disliked, or stigmatized the world, demons are powerful races that can compare with the dragon clan, and their fertility is much stronger than the dragon clan. Although the dragon clan is strong, it cannot increase in quantity. In comparison, if the demons did not have the rejection and suppression of the entire heavenly world, they would have spread everywhere.
