Their steps were orderly, their bodies upright, with solemn expressions on their faces.

Even though they were only wearing linen robes and pants at this time, the uniform clothing already gave them somewhat the essence of soldiers.

Moreover, after this period of special nourishment, their bodies had noticeably become sturdier.

They stopped a few meters in front of Lynn.

Ross bent forward, speaking respectfully, "Master, these are the hundred soldiers you requested."

Lynn nodded, saying, "Tonight, select another hundred from the townsmen and bring them for training."

Ross bent down again, "Yes, Master, I will take my leave now."

Lynn acknowledged with a sound, turning his gaze to the hundred soldiers in front of him.

The soldiers naturally saw Lynn's gaze falling upon them.

Their chests involuntarily puffed out.

Lynn scanned around and said in a deep voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, war is approaching us!"

The faces of the soldiers turned somber.

They understood this when they were selected as soldiers.

However, hearing it again now, their hearts inevitably grew heavy.

Lynn continued, "The reason you are here is because I instructed Instructor Ross to specially select you."

"You are strong and capable of following orders without question."

The soldiers' faces showed a look of pride.

Lynn said solemnly, "Therefore, you will become the first batch of archers of the territory."

"Your future task is to learn and master the usage of the bows and arrows in your hands."

"In times of war, when the enemy charges, you will be able to powerfully shoot the arrows in your hands, strike the enemies' chests, knock them off their horses, and reduce their forces."

Here, Lynn paused his words for a few seconds.

His gaze swept over the soldiers' faces once more.

"Can you do it?"

Lynn's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached each soldier's ears.

"Yes!"

An orderly shout echoed from the soldiers' mouths, reverberating in front of the town.

The sound was so loud that some working townsmen looked over curiously.

Seeing Master Lynn reprimanding the soldiers, they withdrew their gaze and continued with their labor.

Feeling their essence and spirit, Lynn nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment.

A dozen apprentices from the Bow and Arrow Workshop arrived behind Lynn, each holding a bundle of ready longbows and a box of arrows.

A middle-aged man jogged to stand before Lynn, bending down and speaking respectfully, "Master Lynn, all the bows, arrows, and quivers you needed have been delivered."

"They have all been inspected and adjusted for immediate use."

Lynn glanced, "I know, go back to your work."

With Master Lynn's permission, the middle-aged man bent his waist and retreated, leading the apprentices back.

"From today onwards, your weapons will be the round shield, the hand axe, and the longbow!"

"Under Red's guidance, you will learn to use the longbow, until you have mastered it!"

Hearing this, the soldiers naturally glanced at the side of Master Lynn.

There stood a tall and burly man.

As townsmen of Master Lynn's territory, they naturally knew the man who was always guarding by Master Lynn's side was Red, the Guard Captain!

"Yes!"

Lynn continued, "Now, each of you take one longbow, a quiver, and fill your quivers with arrows!"

The soldiers raised their eyebrows, "Yes, Master."

At Lynn's command, the hundred soldiers spontaneously divided into five teams, stepping in an orderly fashion towards the pile of longbows and arrows, and began sorting them.

One soldier after another took leather quivers from the boxes, continuously filling them with iron arrows.

Lynn glanced at the arrows in the selection box.

Each arrowhead was triangular, with three sharp edges converging at a point, forming a sharp pinnacle.

[Triangular Armor-Piercing Arrow]: Made of high-quality iron and purple fir wood, capable of effectively damaging armor surfaces and piercing weak points in the armor.

Looking at these arrows, Lynn nodded with satisfaction.

These arrows were, of course, made by Jose at Lynn's request!

A leather quiver could hold about thirty armor-piercing arrows.

Thirty arrows, if shot continuously, perhaps ten or so would be enough to exhaust their strength.

As for whether these triangular armor-piercing arrows would be damaged...

Lynn had never been worried.

With a large open-pit iron mine and an iron smelting furnace.

Lynn had plenty of high-quality iron for making arrows!

If the arrowheads got damaged, he would just remelt and recast them!

Watching the soldiers each strap on the longbows and quivers, Lynn looked towards Red.

"From here on, I'll leave it to you?"

Red nodded, "Yes."

With that, Red stepped forward.

He too scanned around at the many soldiers, speaking, "I am Red, Captain of the Guard. I will be responsible for your archery training from now on."

"As Master Lynn said, you will continue to train until deemed qualified."

"Now, everyone follow me outside the town, where you will construct an archery training ground!"

Red's words weren't particularly authoritative; in fact, they were more like explained instructions to express his meaning.

But the soldiers dared not slacken in the least.

They stood up in response, "Yes."

Red glanced at Master Lynn and saw Master Lynn nod at him.
