10 Ch 08.2 Great longbow (1/2)
MRE Ch 08.2
Jason asked them to bring some experienced smiths to make arrow Head. When smiths arrived he showed them the design he made on ground and the arrow on which they are to be fitted.
Amongst them, an experienced middle aged man took the arrow and said ”your highness , we have made many arrowheads but all of them were left in the workshop to rust. Making more will just be waste, no one buys them”
Jason assured him ” Worry not , I guarantee that it will be utilized and your work won't go to waste.”
” Your highness, we can make prototypes by evening if we put it on priority,” he told Jason.
” Okay, put it on priority and make more armor piercing type than others” Jason said .
The man left for smithery with excitement all over his face , he got to make arrowheads for Prince.
Jason again went to the workshop he set up in the royal garden.
They have made about 30 bows, they have dipped the bow and string in resin for extra strength like Jason had advised. They were the best bowyers in the kingdom , brought to the capital city by the military to supply hunting bows.
Jason this time went to Charles , it was easier for him to make Charles do things for him than his grandpa . Duke Wilkinson had given him a good beating had he known Jason's thought.
Charles stood and saluted Jason ” What can I do for you, your highness”
” Why can't I come just for sightseeing?” asked Jason grinning. Charles gave him a knowing look ' as if I don't know that you take me as your soft target'.
Getting no response from Charles he was embarrassed , but still said ” Sir Charles I have made a new bow so I want some men from archer brigades”. He had made the bow, he had to take this forward .
” Okay , I take the men at city reserves , how many do you need? I will notify them to transfer them to the palace” said Charles, taking a glass of water.
” Well I want the whole brigade…” just as he was about to finish Charles choked on water and started coughing.
Jason explained ” I want to make a brigade of archers with the bow I made.” Thinking ' even in my Kingdom I have to depend on others to get troops. All credits to previous Jason Clap! Clap!'
Charles thought for a while and came to a solution ” I will provide you 100 men they will be here tomorrow. You can do anything with them for a complete brigade, go ask Duke, only with his approval such a large movement of troops be made.”
Hearing mention of Duke , Jason agreed for 100 men” okay but I want the best of the best.” And left without even looking back at Charles' grinning face.
