Noah Ben and Mina followed curiously behind Liu Feng as they headed towards the logistics warehouse. This place was inaccessible to anyone without Liu Feng's handwritten order, except for the logistics clerk.
"Baron Liu Feng," the logistics clerk said respectfully after bowing, then helped open the warehouse door and stepped aside.
Liu Feng nodded and led the two into the warehouse. Inside, they saw wooden shelves and several large boxes, some of which were safes.
He approached a large box, took out a key to open it, and retrieved a recurve bow. He handed it to Noah Ben and said, "This is a bow from my hometown, called a recurve bow. Uncle Noah Ben, feel its power."
"Oh?" Noah Ben took the recurve bow and felt that it wasn't very heavy.
Noah Ben was a knight, and knights in this era had high requirements. Longbow shooting was one of the compulsory skills. His arrows were very accurate, not inferior to those who hunted all year round.
The recurve bow was one of the bows Liu Feng brought from Earth, prepared for his army.
"Huh? How could it be?" Noah Ben looked at the recurve bow in amazement. The bowstring was very difficult to draw, several times more strenuous than the longbow he had used in the capital.
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
Noah Ben struggled to draw the bowstring to its fullest, and the long arrow whistled out, hitting the target on the wall and piercing through it, with half of the arrow embedded in the earthen wall.
"Wow..." Noah Ben and Mina gasped and rushed forward to observe, becoming more and more astonished as they looked.
"The power of this recurve bow is incredible. It can penetrate the wall from a distance of fifty meters. What about a knight's armor..."
Noah Ben didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present understood that a knight's armor couldn't withstand this recurve bow.
"Such a recurve bow has too much draw weight. Not many people can draw it, and even if they can, they can't shoot many arrows. Moreover, only with specially made arrows can it tear through a knight's armor," Mina immediately noticed the recurve bow's drawback.
Liu Feng had already considered this. He went to another box and took out another recurve bow, saying, "There are some more recurve bows here, but their power isn't as great as the one in Uncle Noah Ben's hand. But from thirty to forty meters, with specially made arrows, piercing through armor isn't a problem."
"Let me try." Mina ran over, took the recurve bow, and easily drew the bowstring to its fullest. The long arrow hit the bullseye, and the entire arrowhead pierced through the target.
"Impressive!" Noah Ben praised after seeing it.
"I only have a few recurve bows with the power like the one in Uncle Noah Ben's hand, but there are dozens of recurve bows like the one in Mina's hand."
Liu Feng opened another box, which was filled with specially made arrows.
"These arrows are specially made and can easily penetrate a knight's armor. But use them sparingly; there aren't many arrows."
Next, Liu Feng opened several more boxes in succession. One of the boxes contained only three longbows. He took out one and said,
"This is a compound hunting bow, a higher level than the recurve bow. I obtained it at a great cost. Its power is greater than the recurve bow in Uncle Noah Ben's hand, but it's easier to draw."
"What?"
Noah Ben and Mina opened their mouths wide, immediately put down the recurve bows, and ran over to pick up the compound hunting bows. However, they were a bit confused.
"How do you use this? There are so many bowstrings," Mina was a bit puzzled, and she also found that the bow body in her hand wasn't made of wood, but had several small circles.
"This is the main string..." Liu Feng gave a few pointers, and both of them, as experts, immediately knew what to do.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Bang! Bang!"
The two of them successively drew the bowstrings to their fullest and shot the long arrows. The arrow targets were left with only a hole, and only the arrow tails could be seen on the earthen wall. The entire long arrows were embedded in the earthen wall.
"This... this is too terrifying. I'm afraid it could pierce through a knight, right?" Noah Ben muttered in a daze, unable to resist shivering.
"Young Master, such a powerful weapon cannot be left here. If someone else gets it, it will be too dangerous for you."
Mina said anxiously. The first thing that came to her mind was assassination. If someone had such a compound hunting bow, they could easily kill a person from a hundred meters away.
"Indeed, it must be strictly guarded." Noah Ben said solemnly.
Liu Feng waved his hand dismissively and said, "Alright, let's give one of these three compound hunting bows to Uncle Noah Ben, one to Mina, and keep the last one for future rewards to great contributors. Hiding them away is a waste; it's better to put them to use."
"No, we must keep them as our foundation." Noah Ben immediately refused, firmly rejecting the offer and refusing to accept the compound hunting bow despite Liu Feng's generosity. He had to know his own limitations.
In his opinion, the compound hunting bow was practically a divine weapon. If sold in the capital, it could easily fetch over a thousand gold coins.
It was too valuable, comparable to several years of income for a noble. He couldn't accept it.
"Young Master, this compound hunting bow would be wasted in my hands. How about I take this recurve bow instead?" Noah Ben carefully placed the compound hunting bow down and picked up a powerful recurve bow nearby.
"Young Master, I can't accept it either. The military knife you gave is enough for me." Mina turned her wrist, and a military knife appeared in her hand.
Liu Feng couldn't help but feel helpless. The compound hunting bow was too advanced for people of this era. Even the lesser recurve bow was much more advanced than the longbows of this time.
Both Noah Ben and Mina felt that it was too precious, which was why Liu Feng only brought three compound hunting bows. The recurve bows were sufficient for the people of this era.
