iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 7 Kleiber Longbow

King's Landing, a part of the Red Keep.

Tyrion Lannister's brown-blond curly hair covered his forehead, and the soft leather jacket he was wearing was embroidered with the roar of a wild lion. He was over one meter tall, with a big head and a small body, with a protruding forehead and a strange way of walking.

"Hey, brother, didn't you find me? What are you doing? My lovely big sister, have you been appointed as a personal messenger?"

Jaime Lannister shrugged and slowed down.

Tyrion Lannis followed James: "Jaime, you should learn to approach me proactively. My most important role in Lannister is to stand by your side and set off your stalwart anytime and anywhere."

James sighed helplessly: "Okay, you won, 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 you finally resist stealing? Come on, show me."

The corners of James' lips twitched, and he lifted the envelope: "Unfortunately, it's already sealed."

James waved his hand holding the envelope, dodging Tyrion's jumping hands trying to grab the envelope: "It's not a secret, I can tell you the contents."

"Oh, it seems that I guessed wrong."

"Well, don't always speculate about Cersei maliciously, you are brothers and sisters."

"Aha, let me expect my dear sister to kiss my little face, unless Seven Gods dozed off."

"Tyrion, do not disrespect the Seven."

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

Tyrion patted James' thigh: "Tell me."

"It's a little baron from the Crab Claw Peninsula. Cersei plans to take him with him for this royal forest hunt."

"It's really unexpected news. The old sister seems to be in a good mood?"

"An unsolicited letter from the little Baron. The boy is a sycophant."

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

"It's rare for the two of you to agree. I'm not that dirty. Young people should put more energy into swordsmanship, not flattery."

"Isn't that just right, James, as the Kingsguard, I can take this opportunity to teach him a good lesson and add a lesson for his growth."

Tyrion paused, and then said: "Brother, the Crab Claw Peninsula is a place where no bird shits. You are a Lannister, and you will never know what it is like to be short of money. If you can't eat enough, who would be in the mood to play swords. The Crab Claw Peninsula has a tradition of directly serving the queen, which is their ancestral craft."

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

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

........................

Three days later, the blue sky was like washing.

Qingyu City, inside the bow making room.

Green picked up a longbow about 2 meters in length from the wooden table, stretched it out and tested the pulling force, about 110-120 pounds.

In order to survive, most of the people in Kleber's territory had to plow and hunt. Most of the people knew how to use bows and arrows. This pull can be used as an entry point and is easy to adapt.

If you cooperate with systematic training, in the long-term plan, you will need to add 150-pound, 180-pound longbows in the future.

The longbow imitates the English longbow in the memory of the previous life. It is simple to make and has a long range.

"My lord, I can do three wells a day now."

"me too!"

"me too."

........................

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

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

Green later retracted his original idea. The first difficulty is that without suitable factory management personnel, without effective supervision and management, quality and efficiency will 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 it was decided to let them keep the traditional method first, the craftsmen gathered together, and the production speed of others can be seen by looking up, which can be regarded as having room for competition and a small step of progress.

Green reminded himself that it was too late to go too far, and he had to take it step by step, and the steps should not be too large, as it was easy to tear the vulnerable parts.

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

Green announced to everyone that the longbow was named Kleber Longbow.

........................

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

The 100-member survey corps has already started simple deployment training.

Most of the soldiers of the Survey Corps came from Orion, and they brought their own bows and arrows and short swords.

Just according to Green's plan, the survey corps' standard weapons are short bows and short swords.

Green's definition of the Survey Corps is mountain leather armored light infantry, whose main mission is to scout and surprise.

Because the soldiers of the simple survey corps brought their own weapons, it made it easier for the Qingyu City arsenal, which was not spare.

Others are good. Green found that the arrows that come with the Orion Gate are not good. Most of them are made by Orion themselves, and the quality varies.

The lethality of arrows is not enough, so the main task of the blacksmith in Whispering City is to concentrate on making excellent arrows.

Green feels that things are always busy.

First of all, the helmet is another problem.

There must be no extra helmets in the arsenal. The 200 clan soldiers in Kleiber's territory also turned the arsenal upside down before they were all equipped.

Green thought of the hoods popular among pirates.

The most stocked gray linen in the warehouse was cut into the size of a towel, and tied up with a bundle of hair, which served as a temporary military cap.

The 100 people uniformly tied their turbans with gray linen, giving them a bit of a regular army flavor.

[Survey Corps Cohesion +1]

Next is armor.

In the future, Green's goal is to equip all members of the Survey Corps with chain mail and leather armor.

Now, the target is too far away.

There are plenty of leather materials in the warehouse of Qingyu City, but almost all of them are 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 idle people in the city to make leather armor together.

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

Cutting, punching holes, putting 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 another.

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

Green thought about it for a while, and decided that the new leather armor in Kleiber's territory would cancel the back armor, and only keep the front armor to protect the chest and abdomen, so that it would have about double the leather armor, which could barely be equipped with the Thorn Corps.

Doesn't the 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 temporarily added another one--death does not follow.
