Tiandou City, the royal hunting ground.

The Royal Hunting Ground is located fifty kilometers southwest of Tiandou City.The terrain in the hunting ground is varied and the area is vast.It is the place where the royal family members hunt and train.

On weekdays, no civilians are allowed to approach. Ten thousand people from the Royal Knights are responsible for patrolling and guarding. ,

The Royal Knights can be regarded as the strongest force in the hands of the Tiandou Empire's royal family.

But today, the more than -meter-high east gate of the Royal Hunting Ground was wide open for the first time in a long time. Hundreds of carriages lined up in a long queue, and the iron-clad wheels creaked on the solid wooden suspension bridge. It was extremely lively.

In three months, the first batch of one thousand Zhuge Divine Crossbows built by the Tang Sect for the Tiandou Empire's Zhuge Divine Crossbow secret force had been produced, and the final test firing had been completed, and they were brought to the royal hunting ground.

In addition to these Zhuge Divine Crossbows, the carriage is also equipped with rhinoceros leather armor tailor-made for the secret troops. This kind of rhinoceros leather armor is more valuable than metal armor. Not only is the defense strong, but it is also very light and will not affect movement.

This kind of leather armor is completely tailor-made according to the body data of each member of the secret army. It can only be made by a group of several craftsmen one by one, and the speed is not fast at all.

Otherwise, with the proficiency of the Li Clan's blacksmith shop, it would not take three months to build a thousand Zhuge Divine Crossbows and matching crossbow arrows.

After the carriage drove into the royal hunting ground, under the guidance of the soldiers of the Royal Knights, it came to a crowded school ground. Immediately, four young soldiers in black uniforms gathered around the carriage and directly hit the nearly -pound horse. The box was lifted from the carriage.

The carriage with its cargo unloaded didn't even need to stop or slow down along the way. It just made a big turn and left the east gate of the hunting ground on its original route.

This set of actions was smooth and smooth, which fundamentally eliminated the possibility of suspicious persons snooping into the royal hunting ground.

After the soldiers took the cargo box off the carriage, they immediately moved the cargo box aside. In a short time, hundreds of huge cargo boxes formed a hill in a corner of the school yard.

After all the carriages left the Royal Hunting Ground, the gate of more than meters was immediately closed, and the soldiers of the Royal Knights once again surrounded the Royal Hunting Ground.

The door here was closed, and there was movement on the school grounds.

Four strong generals, about thirty years old, held lists in their hands and directed the forty soldiers to open the boxes one by one and begin to count the goods.

Goods are divided into four categories. Zhuge Shen Crossbow main body, crossbow arrows, quiver, leather armor, stainless steel sword.

The cargo boxes used for each type of cargo are different, and the soldiers can operate them intuitively and conveniently.

After the inventory of the goods was completed, the captain immediately arranged for everyone to start distributing the leather armor. He sat at a desk and marked the names on the roster one by one according to the roll call of the soldiers who received the leather armor.

Leather armor is tailor-made according to each person's body data, so it is very troublesome to distribute.

Fortunately, the other goods are all standard sizes, so just divide them one by one according to the person's head.

After the goods were distributed, the soldiers clumsily put on the extremely close-fitting leather armor according to the instructions of the soldier leader on the rostrum.

After putting on the leather armor, the soldiers put four sets of leather quivers on the leather armor and fixed them. One hundred and twenty iron crossbow arrows about six inches long were put into each quiver and put away. The four-foot-long fine steel He put the broadsword on his back, and finally picked up the crossbow machine next to him at the command of the soldier commander.

Because the Zhuge Shen Crossbow was too complicated to use at first, and its lethality was too strong, so when the soldier commander ordered people to distribute the Zhuge Shen Crossbow, he repeatedly ordered these elite soldiers that without his order, no one was allowed to operate the Zhuge Shen Crossbow. crossbow.

He ordered everyone to hold the Zhuge Divine Crossbow in their hands. The soldier chief stood on the rostrum, holding his own Zhuge Divine Crossbow, and began to teach the thousand elite soldiers in the audience how to operate the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.

Of course, empty operations with arrows loaded are still not allowed.

An hour later, after ensuring that all the soldiers were initially familiar with the Zhuge Divine Crossbows in their hands, the team was led to ten decorated shooting ranges.

The Zhuge Shen Crossbow cannot be loaded with empty chambers for a long time. Failure to fire the arrows for a long time after being loaded with live ammunition will damage the parts. Therefore, the loading and unloading instruction of the crossbow starts next to the shooting range. After the instruction, the live ammunition test begins.

Next to the shooting position, the soldiers tried firing round after round, and there were several experienced soldiers nearby who measured the reloading speed of the new recruits.

According to the army shooting tips taught by Tangmen, the secret troops should consider using three-stage attack (three-row shooting tactics), six-stage attack, or nine-stage attack queue based on the recruits' reloading speed.

Under the scorching sun, a thousand people from the secret force stayed at the shooting range for a full 12 hours. They had lunch and dinner at the shooting range. It wasn't until 2 hours after the lights were turned on at the shooting range that they were taken back to the camp by the team leaders.

Early the next morning, the secret soldiers resumed their familiar training. However, whether they are running long-distance running, obstacle running, or mountain running, they must be fully equipped with leather armor, crossbows, crossbows, and stainless steel swords.

A month later, the east gate of the Royal Hunting Ground was opened again, and dozens of prison cars filed in.

Different from ordinary prison cars, these prison cars are not only larger in size, but also made of hard stainless steel. Naturally, not all the prisoners and escorts in the prison cars are ordinary soul master criminals, and many of them are from hunting in the Sunset Forest. A soul beast with super strong defense.

Today is the secret army's first actual battle. The soul masters and soul beasts in the prison car are for the secret army to see blood.

Outside the square, thousands of soldiers from the secret forces lined up in neat queues and were entering the venue in an orderly manner, preparing to watch the battle.

On one side of the square, the thirty most elite soldiers selected from fifteen hundred people lined up in three rows, looking with burning eyes towards the rostrum diagonally in front of them.

There was no one on the podium at this time, but they all knew that soon, the new emperor of the Tiandou Empire, His Majesty Xue Qinghe, would come to the royal hunting ground in person to test their training results over the past month.

Today, they will use the blood of those soul beasts and soul masters to prove their worth.

At ten o'clock in the morning, amid the deafening sound of trombones, Xue Qinghe's figure appeared on the podium.

On the right side of Xue Qinghe, there is Ning Fengzhi, who is holding a silver scepter with an emerald gem inlaid on the top. He is two meters away and has a tall body, but he is a Bone Douluo with a skeleton appearance and a back. The flamboyant red bow box on fire.

In addition, there was Tang San holding the Poseidon Trident, with long blue shawl hair, and a silver-toned Titan.

To the left of Xue Qinghe is the commander of the secret force and the officers in various important positions.

Behind Xue Qinghe were two old men with gray hair and simple robes.

These two people were the two titled Douluo recruited by Xue Qinghe from the mountains. They were responsible for protecting Xue Qinghe's safety.

It can be seen that the new emperor pays more attention to his own safety than the old emperor Xue Ye.

Even if Emperor Xue Ye was in a crowded public place, only Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo, would protect him.

On the other hand, in Xue Qinghe, even in the royal hunting ground guarded by Royal Knights soldiers, the two titled Douluo beside him were never far away.

It can be said that he is very careful.

Including Xue Qinghe, many people on the rostrum saw the true face of this secret force for the first time, and they were immediately moved by the elite aura of the secret force.

After all, they are young elites selected from various armies, and equipped with the more powerful Zhuge Divine Crossbow, that kind of confidence naturally radiates from the bones.

"Captain Kyle, our crossbow troops seem to be in good spirits." Xue Qinghe looked at the soldiers in the audience and nodded with satisfaction.

Next to him, the commander of the Kyle Corps respectfully replied: "Your Majesty is ridiculous. These thirty soldiers are the soldiers with the best shooting performance in the divine crossbow unit, the most proficient in controlling the Zhuge divine crossbow, and the most proficient in tactical coordination. They cannot Represents the overall level of the Divine Crossbow Force."

"After all, the Divine Crossbow Force has been established for less than half a year, and the soldiers have not mounted their horses yet, so they can only fight as light infantry for the time being."

"In another year's time, the elite force will expand to people and the troops will begin to mount their horses. That will be the strongest state of our crossbow force."

Xue Qinghe nodded and praised: "You don't have to be modest, Commander Kyle Corps. The Divine Crossbow Army is a new force that is different from the traditional ones. The weapons in their hands are all Zhuge Divine Crossbows that have just been installed. Everything is done by lying on the stone and crossing the river." , I am very satisfied with such efficiency.”

After saying that, Xue Qinghe turned to look at Tang San beside him and said with a smile: "Sect Master Tang, your Tang Sect's contribution is also part of this."

"Your Majesty is serious." Tang San smiled and said: "The Tang Clan and the Empire have a fair deal. Although the Zhuge Divine Crossbow was made by our Tang Clan, your Majesty also parted with the Vast Sea Universe Shield. After all, our Tang Clan should still have it. It’s a huge bargain. We, the Tang Sect, should be the ones thanking His Majesty.”

After the two exchanged words, Xue Qinghe looked at the commander of the Kyle Corps next to him and said: "Commander of the Kyle Corps, you can start."

Captain Kyle nodded, took two steps forward in armor, came to the edge of the rostrum, and shouted loudly to the soldiers on the school field: "Now, I announce that the first phase of the crossbow unit's competition report has begun. ."

With an order from Captain Kyle, the soldiers of the Royal Knights outside the school immediately got busy.

With the creak of iron wheels, a prison car more than five meters long was pushed in by thirty soldiers of the Royal Knights.

Inside the prison car, there was an armored rhinoceros that was two thousand years old.

After being imprisoned for a long time and not eating for several days, with only a small amount of water to drink, the armored rhinoceros felt like it was going crazy before it died.

"Iron-armored rhinoceros? It is an animal-type soul beast with high defense and strong strength, but relatively slow speed. Its rhinoceros hide has good defensive power. The defense of a thousand-year-level armored rhinoceros is not inferior to that of a defense-type soul beast around level . Master. It’s really suitable to be your first opponent.”

The commander of the Kyle Corps introduced him enthusiastically.

Indeed, it is a very appropriate arrangement to use the armored rhino as the first opponent of the divine crossbow unit.

However, an interesting point is that the leather armor worn by the soldiers of the Divine Crossbow Force is made of the rhinoceros skin of the three-hundred-year-old armored rhinoceros.

I don’t know whether Captain Kyle’s arrangement was intentional or unintentional.

The soldiers of the Royal Knights opened the cage door with a key. The black whip in the hand of an officer of the Royal Knights with a soul power of level was covered with three colors of "white, yellow, yellow, purple, and purple". The soul ring mobilized the soul power to drive the armored rhinoceros out of the prison car.

The armored rhinoceros got out of the prison cart, and the soldiers of the Royal Knights immediately pushed the empty prison cart away.

For a time, there were only one soul king, one rhinoceros, and thirty elite soldiers holding Zhuge Divine Crossbows.

"The first game, the soul beast, the two-thousand-year-old armored rhinoceros, begins."

Upon hearing the order from Commander Kyle, the Soul King Knight swung his right hand fiercely, and the martial spirit whip with five soul rings attached struck the armored rhino's buttocks hard.

"Humph!!!!"

The armored rhinoceros who had been whipped let out a roar in pain, and then in order to avoid the whip behind him, out of the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, the armored rhinoceros lowered its head and rushed forward.

One hundred meters directly in front of him were the elite soldiers of the Divine Crossbow Force.

With the mission completed, the Whip Soul King immediately used up his soul power and evacuated the school grounds from the right at full speed as ordered.

"Target, Armored Rhino, launch!"

The armored rhinoceros is not very fast, but given its tonnage, the heavy "dong-dong" sound made by the four rhinoceros hooves on the ground is still somewhat intimidating.

Not to mention that when its huge body kept approaching during the charge, it brought psychological oppression to the ordinary soldiers in front of it, who were not even soul warriors.

The order was given, and the soldiers in the first row, who were already ready to go, followed the order and fired their first wave of arrows.

"Om~~~"

"call out--"

The trembling sound of bowstrings sounded, and dense arrows shot through the air.

In the first row, ten soldiers fired a salvo. 400 fine steel arrows shot through the air eighty meters in the blink of an eye. With overwhelming power, they penetrated the armored rhinoceros directly at a speed that the armored rhinoceros had no time to react. The proud rhinoceros skin shot into its body.

Of the four hundred arrows, only a handful of arrows missed the armored rhinoceros, or were blocked by the armored rhinoceros's one-meter-long rhino horns. The remaining three hundred or so arrows directly hit the armored rhinoceros' front. His face turned into a sieve.

"Ang~~~"

Before dying, the armored rhinoceros only had time to let out a very brief cry of grief. Its strong and powerful limbs were unable to support its strong body. Its knees weakened and it fell directly to the ground.

Due to its strong momentum, the armored rhinoceros drew more than thirty meters on the gravel ground before stopping.

On the ground behind the armored rhinoceros, a dark red mark more than two meters wide and more than thirty meters long was drawn.

Looking at the armored rhinoceros on the ground, it has already breathed its last breath while sliding.

Behind the school grounds, more than a dozen soul beasts imprisoned in cages also howled one after another, seemingly because the armored rhinoceros howled in pain after being whipped, or because it screamed in despair before dying.

The people on the rostrum listened to the wails of the soul beasts, and looked at the armored rhinoceros in the center of the school field, which had not even finished fifty meters, and at the other side, the divine crossbow troops who only fired one salvo, with bright eyes.

Although everyone is aware of the power of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, seeing it so intuitively, coupled with the howling of the soul beast in the ears, and the bright red blood on the ground that stimulates human adrenaline secretion, gives people an even stronger impact.

"Very good!" Xue Qinghe was satisfied.
