Giant crossbown capable of wielding the Sea King Spear were considered absolute top-tier talent even within the once prestigious Weiting Family.
Such individuals rarely found themselves unemployed, much less wandering to the Western Territories.
Therefore, Li Yu had essentially abandoned the idea of recruiting existing crossbown from the start. He simply chose so lizard people with better eyesight and a stronger sense of spatial awareness and had them start practicing crossbow shooting from that mont on.
Of course, if that were all he did, these novices would hardly be useful in the short term.
It’s well known that the Weiting Family trained giant crossbown over decades, not to ntion they had established training thods and instructors, while the Double Rest Sect had to figure things out on their own.
However, Li Yu wasn’t rely offering empty consolation to Fitzwilliam before.
The lack of experience could be compensated for with equipnt.
Inspired by the laser slingshot, Li Yu decided to add a laser sight to the front end of the giant crossbows as well.
Such laser sights were ubiquitous on pdd, and one could buy one for just twenty or thirty yuan. Li Yu purchased twenty-five in one go and even snagged a red packet discount of twenty yuan, spending less than three hundred yuan in total.
The laser emitted by the laser sight could easily span hundreds of ters, and even at night, it could precisely locate a target, thus significantly lowering the requirents for the crossbown’s skills.
Conservatively, it could save at least a decade of training.
And this little gadget wasn’t just applicable to giant crossbows; hand crossbows could also be equipped with it. The accuracy was estimated to surpass even that of smoothbore guns from Napoleon’s era.
In effect, Li Yu managed to rapidly produce a batch of "senior" crossbown with extensive experience for just twelve or thirteen yuan per person, or even less.
Of course, to arm an entire force of crossbown still required purchasing a batch of hand crossbows, for a decent quality hand crossbow typically sold for around ten Gold Coins in Bratis, which was pretty expensive.
Making them oneself could reduce so costs. But for the mont, the Double Rest Sect lacked the spare production capacity to make hand crossbows, so Li Yu exerted his financial power, blazing a trail with money.
He approached the Golden Fleece Comrce to order one hundred hand crossbows and planned to bring over another hundred laser sights later on, quickly raising a formidable crossbowman force.
However, according to the news brought back by Juan, the hand crossbows could only inflict limited damage on the Dragon, mainly serving a harassing role. The real ace up their sleeve was still the Sea King Spear crafted by Fitzwilliam.
Following the addition of laser sights, the Sea King Spear went through several test firings, leaving a profound impression on the onlooking Weiting Family mbers.
Although the crossbown were still not proficient in its operation, even to the point of being described as flustered, taking so long to reload after firing an arrow that they probably would have had ti to die dozens of tis over.
Yet precisely because of this, it underscored the ease of handling the Sea King Spear now, radically altering their traditional view of this crude weapon.
So were even moved to tears on the spot. If Li Yu and Saturday had co to the Bratis Continent earlier, everyone would still believe in Sea God Claudius, there would be no need for Hilda to plot a court coup, and they could have simply fitted these miraculous sights onto battleships and annihilated the Imperial Navy first.
Afterwards, they could sail and attack wherever they wanted, dominate a few islands to beco the mariti overlords if the land battles were too tough; living freely and joyously—never reduced to their current plight.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world. After their tears, they still had to return to their fields and continue working for the Arias Family, a na that had been previously unheard of.
Li Yu, although he valued these people and hoped that in the future they could engage in work more suitable to their strengths, the more pressing issues at hand were clearly resolving the matters of eating and sleeping, and the external crisis. As such, education was relatively less urgent in comparison.
Furthermore, these individuals were all of noble birth and had been detached from the lower echelons of society for a long ti. Li Yu did not wish for them to simply teach and nurture in the future, nor to continue dealing with the nobility. He also hoped that they could experience the hardships of ordinary people’s lives.
Only in this way would they be able to understand more profoundly the teachings of the Double Rest Sect and realize why it was necessary to establish the Divine Country on the Bratis Continent.
Besides laser airs, Li Yu later brought two chainsaws intended for lee combat.
His thinking was simple: if swords and daggers couldn’t penetrate the dragon’s scales, then it was ti to try chainsaws! He didn’t believe the dragon’s scale armor could withstand gasoline-powered chainsaws; although it might be a bit strenuous for ordinary people to swing, there were Half-Beasts in this realm whose strength was more than enough to wield a chainsaw weighing over a dozen pounds.
It just so happened that Jude’s War Axe had been lost in the swamp, so Li Yu took the opportunity to upgrade his weapon.
The man with the scarred face initially thought that, while the chainsaw was sharp, it was a bit unwieldy to use and no longer could be hung at his waist.
Until Li Yu showed him how to flip the switch.
The next mont, a whole new world opened its doors to Jude. He could cut down a large tree, requiring a man’s hug to encircle, in just a few seconds—a level of destructive power the scarred-faced man had never heard of!
Indeed, as the large tree fell to the ground with a crash, everyone who witnessed the scene was stunned.
The first Holy Sword of the Double Rest Sect was thus born!
Its na—East City.
The first night Jude obtained East City, he couldn’t close his eyes in slumber at all, lying on a grass mat and clutching the chainsaw. Although he had chosen to stay behind to seek vengeance for Black Beauty,
as soone who had co face to face with the Black Dragon, no one understood better than him the monster’s might. He racked his brain but couldn’t figure out how he could possibly inflict damage upon the Black Dragon.
The more he contemplated, the deeper his despair grew. But now, the dark cloud overshadowing him had been dispelled with a re wave of Li Yu’s hand.
Although the design of this Holy Sword in his arms differed drastically from those mythic blades of legend,
its power was indeed second to none. Especially upon roaring to life, it sent shivers down the spine of any goblin or ghoul in its wake!
Even though he had yet to encounter his adversary again, the scarred-faced man had a strong premonition that the Holy Sword in his hands would surely cleave through the body of the creature!
On the other hand, Li Yu was not as optimistic. He wasn’t doubting the prowess of the chainsaw; whether it was East City or the Sea King Spear fitted with a laser air, both weapons had sufficient lethal force. However, Li Yu remained skeptical about their ability to hit the Black Dragon.
It couldn’t be helped—the dragon shown in the video exhibited such blistering speed that Li Yu did not want to leave it to chance. Was there so way to restrict the dragon’s movent?
