Ruger was stunned for a moment. As soon as

he saw the other scouts and villagers around him gather, he could only take the

initiative to rob him, remembering that Roddy had made embarrassed, he was a little

angry: "It's up to you? Take your bow to the shooting range and let’s see

who is qualified to use it. If you lose, you will kneel down and lick shoes this

father’s shoes!"

Luo Di didn't speak, he only raised his eyebrow

slightly and ignored the other party's intentions completely.

There are not many people in the village, but when they

heard what was happening, there was a lot of excitement and they all immediately

rushed over. There was more than an hour before the scouting team's investigation

task began. Roddy was holding the bow and was standing on the small square

called the "shooting range", while Ruger continued his provocations: "Wait

to lick my shoes, you little animal. "

He was qualified to say such things. Even in the past,

no one in the entire village of Nolan was better at archery than Ruger. In his

view, it was only Roddy who was delaying time, nothing more.

He spat out the straw at Roddy with disdain and then

raised the bow in his hand.

Occasionally there will be archery competitions in the

scouts in the village of Nolan. The rules are simple-25 yards to shoot a piece

of linen on the straw stack. Each person has 10 arrows.

Although Ruger's mouth was always cursing and annoying

others but as a scout captain his work was absolutely necessary. Moving to

the stand, with his breathing stable, Ruger raised his hand and shot three

consecutive arrows, hitting the center of the linen as many as possible!

These precise shots aroused the astonishment among the

farmers. However, after all, the Horned Bow was strong too. Starting from

the fourth, the spread area of the arrows gradually expanded. By the seventh

arrow, you could see that each time Ruger pulled the bow, his arms were shaking

slightly...

After the twelve arrows had been fired, two of Lugar's

shots fell outside the edge of the linen.

This was also because the angle of the bow was too high

and it was a little difficult to control the strong bow. Even guys like Ruger

cannot maintain high precision all the time, but now this result was enough for

soldiers to feel ashamed.

A total of thirty or forty villagers and soldiers from

all around looked upstairs. Many of them saw this situation and bluntly said

that Roddy had fallen into a bad situation. They were afraid it was too late to step

down. After all, in their eyes, Ruger was the "unbeatable"

party and no one thinks that they can beat Ruger in archery.

The public opinion turned to Ruger, and he could not

help but straighten his waist, squinting at Roddy and throwing the Horned bow

in disdain.

"Learn something." But he

absolutely could not think of it, and what Roddie said after receiving the horn

bow almost blew Ruger's lungs-

"Oh... do you think this is good archery?"

Ignoring Ruger's response, Roddy wrapped his fingers in

thin leather and aimed at the target 25 yards away. He adjusted his breathing

and then slowly raised the Horned bow in his hand.

The next moment, all the scouts at the scene frowned,

and even the lively farmers started whispering...

The bow was stretched half, but it was not full. Roddy

moved the bow with a very casual look and shot, the sequence of his actions was

totally inconceivable in the scout's eyes- if he knows that he can't win at

all, so why is he even bothering to aim?

In terms of archery, the most important thing is

"consistency". Every time you pull and release the bow, all movements

must be highly "consistent" to ensure accuracy. Even if the bow

point is deflected by half a point, the arrows shot will have deviations, so

"moving and fixing" is the most basic common sense when shooting arrows.

But what about Roddy? The bow was pulled just half

and he released the arrow? How can the arm hanging in the air confirm that the

strength of the bow is the same every time? How to confirm the aiming

angle is consistent?

The farmers didn't understand what it meant, but all

scouts thought he was just wasting time.

Only the next moment, the continuous sound of an arrow

hitting the target drew everyone's gaze. When Roddy's first five arrows were

shot, the doubt had become an irresistible marvel!

"This ..."

"How is that possible ?!"

"God— " Bullets of sweat appeared on

Ruger's forehead and he even felt himself getting Goosebumps. Even though

he had assumed countless possibilities before, he didn't expect such a

situation in front of him-he always had a proud look. At this time, however, he

had his mouth opened and looked at the straw pile not far away ...

25 yards away, every time shot the arrow, there would a

new arrow in the center of the linen. All arrows hit dead center!

The previous arrow was crushed by the tail and split

and fell to the ground. This phenomenon was commonly known as "chasing

arrows". Ruger himself often encountered this. This will often happen once

the intensity of the practice of archery was too high. To some extent, this was

also a major proof of the accuracy of the archer. But at this moment everyone saw

an astonishing fact ... except that the first arrow hit the middle, all arrows

were chasing arrows!

"Duo ——"

“Duo ——"

"Duo ——"

When the continuous chase appeared, the

audience's head was numb. They no longer thought about whether they could hit

the linen, but faintly inside they thought: Can eleven even arrows catch

up? !!

"Hmm--" When the last arrow was shot, Roddy

was still calm as ever.

At this point, the arrows in the bull's eye had been

splitting into each other one after another due to the continuous pursuit of

arrows, leaving debris all over the ground.

Twelve arrows shot at the same point!

After the suppressed silence, the crowd burst into an

exclaiming exclamation. They simply couldn't imagine that archery could be done

this way-this was just what the Elven archers’ population can do!

In the noisy environment, perhaps only Carter and the

two scouts who participated in the battle yesterday were not too surprised.

They looked at Roddy's eyes with complexity and didn't even know if they should

come forward to talk. At this moment, Ruger had realized what mistake he made.

He shivered, not only because of losing his bet. His

archery skills were not bad, so he can better understand what Roddy has just

said...

The Horned bow’s strength was very high, but Roddy has

such accuracy without stretching the string full, which shows that from the

beginning to the end Roddy didn't take the test seriously- did he took the test

really just for that bow?

At this moment, when Ruger was thinking about what he

just said, Ruger suddenly understands what it meant. Roddy's eyes

just looked at him... they were the indifferent eyes that only appear when

looking at the dead.

"I-I ..."

What he wanted to say, but saw that Roddy had stood in

front of him raised three fingers and pointed to his chest.

"You just poke me three times."

Although the corners of his mouth were slightly raised,

he seemed to be laughing, but the coldness made Ruger shudder for a moment.

Suddenly Roddy kicked towards Ruger.

Even if it was hand-to-hand, who was Ruger afraid of?

As soon as the blocking motion was made, he found that

Roddy's foot had strangely changed his attack direction and struck him on the

lower abdomen!

"Oh!"

Ruger, who thought he had good fighting skills, flew

out and crashed into the ground after half a second. The talk of the

villagers around came to an abrupt end, but this was just the beginning.

Roddy's figure appeared in front of Ruger spooking him, dragging him from the

ground and then punched another fist in Ruger’s stomach.

Ruger, who had just arrogantly cursed, rolled onto the

ground for two times and fell into shock.

After all, this was done, Roddy raised his Horn bow and

turned away.

Not far away, Dick, who sweated with three copper coins

in his hand, swallowed hard and after watching Ruger being dragged away by the

scout, he quickly trotted over and stuttered, "Roddy, you ... What else do

you want? I'll do everything I can to get you ... "

Roddy stared forward, the last moment he was looking like

a savage, but the next moment he was full of smile "Ah ... if I can, I

need a small file."

Dick responded with cold sweat and felt his legs soft

when he left.

In a place like Nolan Village, the most powerful people

are veterans like Ruger. Not to mention the Knight Order or the Guard Captains

of Houllier City, for the simple villagers and the soldiers who are eating

here, they can't even knock Ruger down.

Army sanctions? Court trial? Who the hell can

control such a team of border scouts which adds up to just dozens of people? Do

they have to go to Hollier to sue? Those old men will not even pay

attention to such trivial facts!

If you hit, you hit, just like Ruger bullied Roddy

before. In this kind of place, the big fist talks. Roddy just wanted to

understand this- gradually forms were planned in Roddy's heart.

The villagers gradually dissipated and Roddy pulled out

the arrows that had been shot away, and felt a little distressed—he was

basically penniless now. According to the memory of this guy named "Roddy",

he still had the money that was stored in a broken house in a village not far

away, but together with what was left in his hands, there were a total of

thirty copper coins.

If he was not given money by the scouting team, Luo Di

was afraid it would not be enough for him to live in town for a month.
