A shooting range of thousands of meters, and at the end of the shooting range, the power of the arrow could even penetrate leather and iron armor, killing people on the spot. This shooting range was not only terrifying, it was simply shocking.
Even if it was an alloy steel crossbow that was made with modern science and technology and was most in line with the principles of dynamics, it was impossible for it to shoot a crossbow bolt thousands of meters away. It was not a f * cking surface-to-surface missile. This was simply illogical!
In fact, from another perspective, this was in line with science. In the original shooting range, other than the mechanical power or the tension of the bow, there was no other energy involved in the power system. Therefore, a shooting range of a hundred or two hundred meters was the limit. In modern times, the power was replaced by the power of the explosion of gunpowder. Suddenly, the shooting range of a crossbow was developed by leaps and bounds. Later on, missiles were propelled by rockets, and the shooting range was carried out in the millions of meters. If the ancient people were to see this, they would also shout that it was illogical.
Similarly, in a world like The Lord of the Rings where there was an energy circulation system, it was possible for a shooting range of more than a thousand meters. This was because there was other energy involved in the power of the arrow, which was similar to the rocket system of a warhead. This was also why the Elven army was the strongest army in Middle Earth. It was because their bows were famous all over the world, and they could eliminate most of their enemies from a long distance. This was the reason why the Elven army was the strongest army in Middle Earth. In the Middle Earth world that Chu Hao knew, there was an extremely powerful army of the ancient human empire. That army even captured Morgoth. According to Chu Hao's speculation, everyone in that army probably had Combat Qi. This was the biggest possibility.
Even if an ordinary person with Combat Qi used a bow and arrow, it was impossible for them to shoot an arrow that could fly thousands of meters in one shot. Firstly, they had to conserve their Combat Qi. Secondly, the further the arrow flew, the worse the accuracy. Therefore, even the best Elven archers could only shoot an arrow that could fly four to five hundred meters. Because of this, Zhang Heng's arrow flew thousands of meters away and hit its target. This was why Sorin and the others were so shocked. They were not shocked by the fact that the arrow could fly thousands of meters, but by the fact that it could hit its target.
On the battlefield, two thousand dwarves were armed with modern alloy steel crossbows. Only a portion of these dwarves were former members of the dwarven army. Most of them were miners, blacksmiths, and so on. They had never experienced a battle before. When they saw the ferocious human mercenaries, they didn't remember any rules or orders. In a moment of desperation, they poured all their combat qi into the crossbow and shot it out. Then, arrows rained down. The human mercenaries' battle formation thousands of meters away were directly shot through. At least a third of the human mercenaries had become corpses.
This was actually a very shocking thing!
One must know that in ancient times, good bows were hard to come by. It was not easy to organize a group of people and train them for a few months. In ancient times, a good bow needed to be made over many years. The craftsmanship was so complicated that it was even treated as a military secret by many civilizations. If one had to make an analogy, it was similar to how the craftsmanship of modern guided missiles was kept secret. The same was true for crossbows. For example, in modern society, the Divine Bow of the Song Dynasty in history was an extremely important military secret.
Furthermore, those were bows and crossbows in a society without internal strength or Dou Qi. In Middle Earth, because of the existence of Dou Qi, the energy circulation system, the requirements for bows and crossbows were extremely high. If the basic craftsmanship was not up to standard, then a Dou Qi user could destroy the crossbow after shooting one or two arrows. Therefore, in this world, it was estimated that only an immortal race like the Elves, who had countless years of accumulated wealth and craftsmanship, could have an organized archer army. The other races had a lot of archers, but the number of bows and crossbows that could be organized was very small. If all of them were to gather a few hundred bows and crossbows used by a Dou Qi user, then they could already be considered an elite army.
Before Chu Hao entered the prequel to the Lord of the Rings, he did not expect that there would be such an energy circulation system like Combat Qi in this world. However, the crossbows he requested were all made of the toughest and lightest alloys made with modern technology. Moreover, they were the internal products of the Renegades Organization. The basic craftsmanship was at least ten to twenty years better than the metals of the developed countries of the same era. This batch of crossbows could be used by the Combat Qi users of this world!
Chu Hao was standing in the middle of the army. He carefully observed the reactions of all the dwarves, including the civilians, the dwarven guards, and those who possessed fighting qi. Every reaction was basically within his expectations, which was panic, panic, and confusion. With such a group of people gathered together, how could they be considered an army? They were clearly a group of thugs, or even worse than thugs. They were simply a group of rioters. If they were to encounter a regular army, even if they were only one-tenth of the regular army, as long as they got close to them, these dwarves would be worse than chickens and ducks.
"However, this battle just so happens to be …"
Chu Hao's expression was somewhat complicated as he looked at the mercenaries in the distance who had suffered heavy casualties. This was also within his expectations. These dwarves were his backup. They could not be easily lost here, but they also needed some whetstones to hone their skills. Moreover, without blood, how could he use the Chu Clan's Killing technique? He needed these mercenaries to be the first test of the Killing technique. The strength and the number of people were just right. Only then could he proceed with the next step.
Moreover, with two thousand crossbows firing at the same time, even the enemy's cavalry wouldn't dare to approach. However, this is the first time these dwarves are facing a battle. Not to mention their courage, they only have enough Dou Qi to fire two arrows. After training, if they divide their Dou Qi evenly, they may be able to fire five arrows. Each arrow has a range of a thousand meters, which can be considered a killing move. I just don't know if this Dou Qi arrow array can scare team Celestial God a little.)
Chu Hao did not know either. However, he still remembered that when he had faced the invaders with team Great Western Continent back then, he had heard a few scraps of information from team Great Western Continent. He knew some of the strengths and weaknesses in the World of Reincarnation. Firstly, the strongest was team China, the team that committed atrocities and killed people to refine souls. Next was team Devil, but there was no fixed number. Celestial, team Great Western Continent, and another mysterious breeding team could all be the third strongest. However, in comparison, team Celestial seemed to be the weakest, because he had heard that they had been wiped out not long ago. This time, team Celestial had just been established, and was formed by the captains of various teams.
(As long as they haven't reached the fourth stage of the gene lock, and don't have the mighty strength of team Great Western Continent's captains, even if they are a little stronger, they can't be too much stronger. In that case, quantity is the key. I only hope that my countless calculations will succeed … I only hope that it won't be like what Hao said in the dream, that all my calculations will go wrong because of this and that.)
Chu Hao was still deep in thought as he looked at the battlefield in the distance. However, the mercenaries in the distance were in a dilemma. A small portion of the mercenaries actually broke away from the group and fled backward. The remaining mercenaries and dwarven guards saw that there were no more arrows being fired, and heard the dwarven nobles shouting for more money and land. There were even dwarves shouting that the Blue Mountain didn't have so many crossbows, and that all the crossbows were probably broken in the previous round. The remaining thousand plus mercenaries and dwarven guards finally mustered up their courage and began to charge forward. These thousand plus people were all cavalrymen, and when they charged forward, their momentum was unparalleled. Immediately, many dwarven commoners at the city gate cried and fled backward. For a moment, the entire city gate in front of the Blue Mountain capital fell into a state of chaos …
At the same time, in the elven capital of Rivendell, the grave of the old monk wriggled. Below it, a lump of flesh and blood continuously rotted and recovered, as if it wanted to heal, but something was missing. It struggled and was about to turn into mud and rotting flesh. At this moment, a green light flashed and a lotus leaf fell from nowhere. This lotus leaf was green and delicate, as if it still had dew on it. It looked as if it had just been plucked from a main branch. This lotus leaf fell into the old monk's grave, and with a flash of green light, the old monk's rotting corpse turned into a green mist. When it flashed again, a naked young monk with red lips and white teeth was standing there. His palms were clasped together, and his appearance was solemn. He no longer had the fake benevolence of the old monk that gave people goosebumps.
The young monk raised his head to look at the heavens and the earth. After that, he chose a direction and took large strides forward. Wherever he walked, the ground actually cracked inch by inch, and his footprints were like lotus flowers. Moreover, they seemed slow but were actually fast. After a few steps, the young monk had already walked a thousand meters away. In just a short moment, he was already far away from the cemetery, and his whereabouts were unknown …
At the same time, far away from the plane of the Central Continent, in the depths of the void of countless planes, a pillar of earth stood in the void of this plane. It was trillions of kilometers long and trillions of kilometers wide, as if it stretched across countless planes. And at the center of this pillar of earth, a man dressed in casual clothes sat quietly on it. He silently circulated a profound technique, transforming into the earth pillar that he sat on. Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, and his brows furrowed slightly. Then, he seemed to send out some sort of message in his consciousness.
"... Guide, what do you want to do..."
"It's just a casual chess piece, Your Majesty."
"Since I've made the move, I must not regret it. I will remember this karma. When the world returns, it will only be a game."
"… Why do you have to do this? Your Majesty, I'm not your enemy. In a way, we're allies. "
"Put away your glib tongue. This karma is just a continuation. Have you forgotten how you helped the Heavenly Court deal with Yang Dingtian, Li Lian, and the others eighteen thousand years ago? The God Execution Stage, the Immortal Guillotine Blade, the Soul Shredding Ladder, and the Soul Dissolving Pool. If I didn't have a backup plan, who would have been spared? How merciful, how merciful. If you could take action then, you must take action now. You can't escape this karma, and neither can I. Go and watch the chessboard play out. When the world returns, it will be … "
"When Buddhism is destroyed."
