"Looks like there's no golden object here."
"That's true. What a lumberjack this is.It's a place to cut down and leave the softwood trees, and the merchants won't come here to buy it. "
A lumber mill in Nakashu on the Glue River.
The Balkan mercenaries, who defeated the Greek archers there, looked around the lumber mill surrounded by [the walls of Atmos].
He was looking for treasure, like Purge City used to be.
But this time I didn't get the gold and silver treasure.
Well, I can't help it.
As I told Walter, this is just a soft tree.
It really exists as a lumber mill because its function as a country in Georgia is elsewhere.
Even so, it was not just a storage place for trees by woodcutters, as it was a precious wood that was only available in this place and an important symbol for the country.
Not to say a hoarded treasure, but there were gold and silver coins that the guards would need, so I succeeded in getting them.
"Even so, this is a good one.The real treasure we're looking for is these guys rolling on the ground right in front of us. "
Yes, it is.
I didn't come here to pick up any money.
I came to get something better than that.
Naturally, it is a softwood tree that only inhabits this Nakashu.
The wood is hard, but it is a replacement tree that increases flexibility when used through magic.
That's the treasure in this lumber mill.
You can bow like a glugarian.
Like Orient Country, you can combine magic stones with magical formations to make a crossbow called Orient.
Anyway, you have the material to make a strong long-range weapon against the Balkan mercenaries, whose swords have been dominant until now.
"Master Alphonse, we have gathered the bows of the archers."
"Thank you, Kik. Just leave that bow to the mercenaries here.They won't be using it soon. "
"I understand."
"Please. The Walter Squad will carry this lumber out.Everything but my magic bag. Come on, put it in a string and float in the river. "
Roger that.
Apart from me and Walter, Kiku was collecting bows, not gold.
Squad leader Kiku, who leads his men well, gathered the surviving Grugarian soldiers in one place, and then retrieved the bows and other items they used.
Thank you for this.
Since softwood is a material with unusual properties, I feel like I heard from Banaji that he is a little concerned about processing.
It would be easier to use if it were a bow that was actually adjusted for use in battle.
Nevertheless, it would be impossible to use it immediately.
Unlike a regular bow, you have to send magic to the bow before pulling strings, so it's a little different.
You can also send magic to the bow with Magic Injection , but you may need to practice so that you can send the amount that suits your muscle strength with your magic manipulation.
"But this softwood is basically a bow, right?Don't you want logs that are too big? "
"No, I want a big one too. There's a use for it."
"I see. I think I've already figured out what to use."
"Of course. Otherwise, I won't be here."
Kik distributes the bows to the mercenaries, and next to me Walter sends instructions to the other mercenaries to transport the lumber from the lumber mill.
Walter asked for confirmation after one instruction had been exhausted.
For lumber that was cut and stored separately in several dimensions, what about logs of length?
It's hard to carry too much to the river.
I'm sure you wanted to say that logs can be left unattended if you don't need them.
But I won't do such a waste.
Because, of course, I've been thinking about the big stuff from the beginning.
For Ian.
Ian, the warrior of Atmos, can become a giant about five meters tall.
An overwhelming power shaken from the magic considered to be its giant body.
That alone is strong enough to change the state of war at once.
Such an Ian already had a weapon that no other Atmos warrior had.
A free sword.
Until now, Atmos warriors in the east had basically no choice but to fight with their bare hands or to spin logs.
Still strong enough, Ian, who has a swinging sword of my size, is stronger than the warriors of Atmos.
Even a normal human with a sword increases his Attack Rating.
If a giant had a sword, it would naturally be much stronger than a giant without a sword.
But it was also the purpose of this lumber mill to carry weapons to further strengthen Ian from there.
In other words, it is my idea to make a large bow that Ian, who has become a giant from a large softwood log, can use.
Even a child's bow the size of which I can use can fire a powerful shot.
A bow the size of which matches Atmos's warrior's body may give him an attack equal to or greater than Meteor , even if he can't use it.
Well, it was also an idea because Ian named it.
Atmos warriors who have been fighting since they were born, but didn't seem to use much of their bows.
If you work hard, you might be able to make a big bow, but I've heard that Atmos warriors are born and raised in a great valley like a rocky mountain.
Probably because of the less wooded environment, they didn't start using bows.
Therefore, even the giants who had grown up and started acting as mercenaries everywhere did not use bows since they became adults.
It took time to master the bow, and I think it would have been easier to hit him with a fist.
But Ian can now use magic.
In other words, you can use Watch Practice .
Ian, who used to be an empty-handed fighter, can now handle the sword.
This means that even if you use Watch Practice , archery will improve as quickly as possible, which also means that the birth of the most bowed giant in the world is promised.
Looking forward to it.
While looking at the logs being transported out, Ian imagined shooting a bow, and he thought of himself fighting with it, and unexpectedly smiled.
