Chapter 8 Exercises

Happy time flies by. In the short three-day vacation, excluding the time spent on the road, Carter actually only had two days to spend time with his family and Amy.

When the two of them woke up quietly in the tree house in the evening, the happy time was always short-lived.

After the two hurriedly cleaned up, they put on their clothes and ran back to Xinta Village hand in hand.

After the two kissed goodbye affectionately, Carter returned home, just in time for dinner. The intense afternoon made him very hungry at this time.

After eating in a hurry, I returned to the room and fell asleep. My last thought before falling asleep.

[No wonder the Hedonism Sect can develop in Ulthuan, it is really not something that ordinary people can easily endure...]

…………………………………………

There is nothing to hide from the actions of the two young lovers in the 'eyes of adults', but the social atmosphere of the high elves has no opinion on this and will even encourage people to get married and reproduce as soon as possible. The fertility of elves is quite low, even if no measures are taken.

You may not be able to conceive a child if you have a high-passion "playing the flute every night" attitude for a whole year.

Carter got up early the next morning and went to the backyard to observe the condition of the packhorse. After feeding some refined grains, coarse grains and water, he took his own spear and bow and arrow to the shooting range.

Although it is only six o'clock in the morning and the sky is just slightly bright, there are already many energetic young people practicing bows here.

There's a reason why the high elves' long-range archer units are unparalleled in the world.

Even in the hands of these young people, the custom-made compound bow can perform various tricks. Some people can shoot five arrows instantly within ten seconds (using a special posture to prepare the arrow in the hand holding the bow).

), and shoots with relatively good accuracy within fifty meters.

There are also people who can shoot arrows while running easily, easily hitting a target thirty meters away. If they stand still, they can still hit six or seven times out of ten even with a target the size of an ox a hundred meters away.

Compared with other races, as long as they can draw a bow and shoot arrows in one direction, they are considered qualified archers. High elves are relatively strict. However, this kind of strictness is not required by the army, but is what the proud high elves think they must achieve at the very least.

In fact, the training and military discipline of the High Elf army at this time were relatively loose. The reason why they were able to drive them back despite the invasion of Chaos was all due to the strong city walls and personal bravery. If the personal combat effectiveness of the High Elf does not include magic, it is rarely seen.

There are no normal creatures of the same size that can compare, except of course the Chaos Warriors.

However, it is not a wise choice to use one's own strength against the forces of chaos that are often over two meters tall and can reach one ton in strength.



After bringing his equipment to the shooting range, Carter said hello to the other young people and then found an empty seat and began to practice his archery skills.

[Stand sideways, raise your head and raise your chest, use your left hand to hold the bow imaginarily, mount the bow with an arrow, draw the bow, and hold the bow firmly!]

After briefly recalling the essentials and actions, Carter's eyes became extremely sharp and he took a deep breath to adjust his mentality.

"Weng!"

The entire set of actions, including aiming, only took two seconds, and the arrow in his hand was fired by the longbow with a Mediterranean-style pinch.

The arrow, flying at a speed of over 35 meters per second, perfectly inserted into the handle 70 meters away according to a parabola.

The elves watching around them all nodded secretly.

Seeing that he was in good condition, Carter shot ten arrows in succession within a minute, all of which accurately hit the target in the distance and penetrated deeply, leaving only one arrow tail exposed.

After shooting ten arrows, Carter didn't feel very tired. It was just that his fingers hurt a little because he didn't wear protective gear, and his arm strength didn't matter at all. The longbow used by the elves has an amazing pulling force, and all the walking bows provided by the kingdom have

There is a pulling force of 120 pounds, which translates into more than 50 kilograms that everyone can understand (live at 1), but even so, Carter continued to practice for half an hour after shooting a dozen arrows.

After putting down his bow and arrow, resting for a while, and replenishing some water, Carter began to practice another weapon.

Spear.

The Elf's spear is relatively stiffer than the Chinese spear in Carter's memory. The design of the entire weapon is based on the cooperation with another weapon, that is, the shield.

Elves will definitely use a shield when using a spear, so the gun shield technique is very popular.

But Carter didn't use his shield at this time.

Holding the gun, blocking the gun, bumping the gun, catching the gun, slinging the gun... Carter's eyes were focused. The skills of this body were the greatest guarantee for him and his family to survive in troubled times. After coming to this world and recognizing the surrounding environment, he

He practices diligently every day.

The memory from his previous life made Carter understand that if the large shield of the elves was not used when the army formed a formation, it would be better to use a spear when fighting alone.

Although the high elves' way of emphasizing personal bravery is stupid, Carter had to master it in order to protect himself.



When it got brighter, Carter stopped practicing. An hour and a half had passed. After packing up his equipment, Carter returned home.

After having breakfast with his family, Carter and his parents picked up a few buckets and farm tools and walked out of the house.

Although winter wheat has been planted, it rarely rains in Ulthuan in winter, so water still has to be carried manually before the first snow comes.

My family's field is to the east of Xinta Village, only 30 acres, but the output obtained through intensive cultivation is quite gratifying. In previous years, the output of winter wheat was enough to feed a family of four after excluding the tax.

There will still be some leftover before the summer harvest, and coupled with some other daily activities, it will be very nourishing.

If it weren't for the frequent wars caused by the Chaos invasion every year, the Outer Rim Kingdom would still be very stable.



From eight o'clock in the morning to twelve noon, the three of them kept fetching water from the canals branched from the river for irrigation.

Because I'm not in a hurry, I'm not too tired. If I take my time in the morning, I'll get half the work done. In winter, there's not enough sunlight, so I just do it every few days. But even so, I'm not used to farm work after working all morning.

Carter was still sweating.

Moreover, Carter, who felt that he was having a hard time, even rushed to fetch water from the canal for himself, not wanting to overwork his parents. So by the time his little sister brought lunch, the modern soul was already complaining unbearably.

He had never done farm work in his previous life. Although he inherited this body, he still felt tired and painful when doing farm work.

[You absolutely cannot continue to be an ordinary elf like this!!]

……………………

Live 1: I am a semi-archery enthusiast, specifically referring to traditional bows. I have been practicing for the past two years. 50 kilograms may sound exaggerated, but as long as you practice for a long time, it is actually difficult to shoot as many people think.

When it comes to arm weakness when shooting arrows (if there are cases, most of the time it is because you are a beginner and have not practiced and exercised for a long time). Generally speaking, modern people can only use a traditional bow of about 50-70 pounds at most. No matter how high it is, it is more likely to occur.

Without special long-term training, even pulling it apart will be a problem. The power is much worse than in ancient times. It is normal that it is difficult to penetrate some well-made armors. Therefore, the power of the arrows in this book is quite high.

ps: By the way, many people think that projectiles are more powerful from top to bottom and have a longer range. This is actually a misunderstanding. This may be useful if it is an unarmored unit, but the penetrating ability of long-distance projectiles will be very weak.
