“If we can maintain a firing rate of less then 30 seconds to strike them accurately, we can try it from a distance of 100 m next.”
When the group exact shooting range was 50 m, it was considerably hard to fight 500 people. But we could still cope with it if we could shoot from 100 m away.
“Urgh, is it even possible?”
“I don’t have that much confidence ”
“I can do it!”
They are saying pessimistic thing with laughing eyes. We can raise their confidence with a few days of training.
[TL: no, I don’t understand what the hell is laughing eyes mean…]
後ろ向きなことを言っている連中も目が笑っている。数日の訓練で自信が出来てきたのだろう。
“You keep giving order but, doesn’t village chief had to practice as well?”
“I don’t need practice. Because I can do it already.”
“Then, please give us a demonstration please.”
I might have said some unnecessary things seeing that Roreu is the strongest man in the village taunting me.
“Yeah I want to see how cool Syril is”
Lucie said it while making mischievous expression on her face, but her tone didn’t have any evil intention and Lucie purely only want to see me playing an active role instead of only observing.
Roreu aside, I cannot betray Lucie expectation. I give a wry smile and said…
“I see. I’ll show it to you guys how to do it. First, I will start from 100 m away”
I pull the string of the crossbow while saying so and nock an arrow.
And I start to activating three magic spell.
The first magic I use is [Wind Breaker] that can be used by other Elf as well. With wind breaker the arrow willn’t move from it track. Because there is no air resistance against the arrow, the power of the arrow does not decrease.
In the village of the elf, when an Elf reach certain age they were taught by adults on how to use [Wind Breaker] other than this spell, normal Elf can’t use other magic beside this.
What I used next was [Perception Expansion]. It was one of my forte where I united with wind mana, and receive various information from surrounding area. It is handy to use if other people can use it, but the information processing put excessive burden on the brain, because the method is complicated it will be difficult for other people to use it.
And then the last, the original spell completed using Internal Magical Power of Odo【Program】was activated.
This is the magic which calculates physical phenomenon based on the information I got from [Perception Expansion] and feeds back the result to my sense. In this way, Perfect trajectory can be calculated.
“Hit”
the arrow that I casually shot hit the target
Since I did not need to consider the change of irregular wind , so it’s quite easy to aim.
“Next, will be from the distance of 300 m”
I said so while withdrawing to the back. Because the prepared target was only 100 meters away, I need to go further back.
And 300 m is also the limit of my [Perception Expansion]
When it reach 300 m mark, the gravity pull can’t be negligible. so I shoot the arrow 42 degree into the sky from the target
“This also hit the mark too”
The arrow which I fired hits the target, while forming the shape of an arch.
More or less, that shot may become useful as a reference.
I don’t demand the villagers for that kind of precised shooting with that distance but if they use 【Wind Break】, it’s possible to fire with lethal power.
If 50 people simultaneously fire, they could still hit a fairly considerable amount of enemies.
“Lastly, from the distance of 500 m”
At this distance it already exceed the limit of [Perception Expansion]
I try to limit [Perception Expansion] and force it to extend into the front only.
I shoot 120 degree to the sky from the target. Because of increasing distance the pull from gravity is increased exponentially. For me It is a mere acrobatic feat
With lesser Air Resistance, the arrow can fly in a curved manner anywhere in the sky making it look like a disqualified weapon.
The arrow I shot felt like tearing up the sky for 5 seconds to the target as if it was sucked into it.
“This is my limit with crossbow”
