Slingshots are something that almost every modern little boy has played with when he was a child. Arude's soul was also proficient in this devastating toy in his previous life. And because of his innate love for machinery, the slingshots he made when he was a child were red-eyed things for other friends, but here Arude did not expect that he would return to his old career and make slingshots for his family's soldiers, which did not exist in this era.

It was very easy to make a slingshot in the 21st century, because rubber bands are easy to find. However, in the Middle Ages, when he didn't even know what rubber was, Aruod had to use primitive materials such as leather bands. The few leathers that were left in his family's warehouse were used, and finally he got twelve elderberry slingshots.

"How do you use something like Arod?" Sir Wendell asked curiously in the training ground where he tested his youngest son's weapons.

At this time, a few scarecrows were placed around their 100 steps. The scarecrow was inserted into the mud, the scarecrow was wearing a shabby felt hat on his head, and the straw on several parts of the scarecrow's chest was a little loose. This was because the peasant soldiers were originally arranged to practice stinging, but because they were often inserted by spears, it was a little messy.

"Well, let me demonstrate." Aruod was a little lost because he had just seen a few peasants in his family practicing with a spear, and the person who had originally assigned the spear did not agree. Good weapons and equipment on the battlefield often meant a high chance of survival. So a group of farmers beat up a group of inferior spears until Sir Wendell stopped the mess, which also made Aruod feel that his family needed a lot of improvement.

The slingshots made by Aruod have been fully calculated and designed. In some places, they are simulated based on the types of military slingshots I have seen in the past. Of course, it is impossible to be 100% the same due to the material, but the lethality is definitely enough to cause damage to the light infantry.

"Swoosh~~~b." Aruod put a stone into the semicircular leather bag of the slingshot, raised his left arm and aimed the Y-shaped figure at the scarecrow's head. He pulled the slingshot with his right hand and let go of his hand. He shot the stone out in one go. However, it was a pity that the stone did not hit the scarecrow's head, but crossed the wooden fence in the open space to hit the branches and leaves of a big tree, and shot down several leaves.

"Well, I'll try again." Aruod's face turned red unconsciously. To be honest, as a technical otaku, his ability to make is far greater than his ability to use it, but today he did make a big mistake. The maker of his weapon actually turned out to be wrong.

"It's okay, you try again." Although Aruod made a mistake in firing the stone, Sir Wendell's eyes lit up. This weapon that relies on elasticity to emit stones was so powerful. It knocked down leaves outside the open space two hundred steps away. If the force hits a person, it would cause the enemy to suffer even if it doesn't bleed.

"Okay." Aruod gritted his teeth and tried hard to adjust the position of the slingshot, and once again pulled the slingshot and shot the stone. This time he hit the target, and the stone was embedded in the scarecrow's face. The scarecrow's entire body trembled a few times, as if he was hit and trembled due to pain. Of course, the scarecrow filled with straw did not feel any pain. This was just a physical reaction caused by the inertia of the slingshot firing.

"Good job." Marcos clapped. As a mercenary, he quickly saw the benefits of slingshots, which were easy to get started and the projectiles were stones everywhere.

Sir Wendell was also very satisfied with Arod's invention. This slingshot supplemented the long-range attack ability of his family soldiers. Although he did not have a long range of bows and arrows, a unit with long-range attack ability could still deepen the influence when reporting to the Duke. Sir Wendell was always worried that his family was not allowed to enter the Duke's court. This was also impossible. His territory was small. His relatives and his wife's relatives were mostly small nobles in the middle and lower levels. Without the support of powerful figures, the weak family was of course not favored by big nobles like Duke Mason.

"I didn't expect that the aristocrats in the Middle Ages were quite acceptable." Arod sometimes watched European and American knight movies in his previous life. The nobles were often described as a group of vested interest groups that refused to reform. The knights seemed to believe that their carriage could penetrate any enemy's defense, and other weapon innovations did not appear in their minds. As a noble, Sir Wendell was able to follow his advice and equip his troops with slingshots that he had never seen before. This was beyond his expectations.

In fact, Aruod only knows one thing but not the other. As a vested interest, the great nobles of course hope to always control their advantages, that is, the absolute advantage of the heavy cavalry battlefield. Any other threatening the only advantage they have will cause dissatisfaction. However, as low-level little nobles and small landlords, they have always been the most active class in feudal society. How to improve their family strength is their primary consideration.

Since Sir Wendell was doing well, Arod's mind became active. He believed that the soldiers of his family were very few, so he could not stick to a single weapon like a spear. Just when Arod saw the English mercenary Marcos, a weapon appeared in his mind. Many people might be unfamiliar with this weapon, but the English were the first to use this weapon that was both simple and capable of restraining cavalry, which was the medieval hook and sickle spear.

"Hook and sickle?" Sir Wendell felt that he had obviously not enough mind to stay with his young son. The emergence of these fresh weapons made him feel a little unstable, so he asked in confusion.

"That's right, it's actually tied the sickle used by the farmers to the wooden stick. This thing is simple to use and the materials are from the farm tools used by farmers. The key is that the production cost is almost zero, and the effect is good against cavalry." Aruod said to his cheap father excitedly.

"Well, I think it's better to slow down." Sir Wendell turned his eyes away. He had fought all his life and had never heard of peasant soldiers using manure forks that could fight against cavalry. Not to mention elite knights wearing armor and holding long rifles, even ordinary light cavalry broke into the peasant soldiers, they often caused defeat. The only function of peasant soldiers was to gather numbers and do odd jobs. After all, the battlefield belonged to the knights and nobles.

"I think~~~." Arod wanted to persuade his cheap dad, but Sir Wendell waved his hand impatiently, so he had to stop.

"Hmph, the guy who has not even grown all his hair actually wants to deal with the knight." When Sir Wendell left, Ifu sneered gloatingly, which made Arud's face look very bad. Only then did he realize that this was not his army. Even with advanced weapons and war theory, no one would believe that he, the second son who had never been on the battlefield and had no status.

"If you don't listen to me, a time traveler with thousands of years of knowledge, don't blame me if you suffer." Aruoded whispered in his heart in anger. He ignored Yifu and others in anger, left and walked to the river to pick up the stone and threw it around.

"Oh, who is throwing things around? Don't you have eyes?" The stones splashed in the middle of the clear river. A thin body stood up from the dense weeds by the river. She was wearing a shabby linen skirt. The gray skirt seemed to have turned white because of frequent washing. It was very neat. From the two long sleeves, the slender arms were stretched out from the waist and were inserted into the waist. Upwards was a red cheek. A pair of blue eyes stared at Aruod fiercely, her mouth was very funny, and a golden hair was scattered behind her head.

"Huh, someone?" Aruod didn't expect that he would throw a stone in anger and splash the river onto someone else's body. He quickly wanted to apologize, but the other party suddenly burst into laughter when he looked at his face.

"So it's Mr. Aruod. Are you not helping the Jazz in the training ground? Why did you come here?" the little girl asked curiously.

"You, do you know me?" Aruod asked in wonder. He was not very familiar with the people in this village, and obviously the other party knew him very well.

"Oh, I am Jodo's daughter Laila. Did you forget Mr. Arod? I sent you honey in May this year, and Laila can keep bees." Laila quickly walked out of the grass by the river and said to Arod with a smile.

"Oh, it's Laila, haha, of course I remember." Aruod knew that he hadn't traveled through time in May, so he didn't know Laila, but he didn't dare to say that he didn't remember it, so he hurriedly said.

"Hey, you are very strange, Master." Leila looked at Aruod with her head tilted, her eyes full of doubt.

"Ah, you, what are you doing here?" Aruod felt that he was about to be seen through by this strange girl, so he quickly changed the subject and asked.

"Leila is looking for bees. Leila has no friends, only bees are my good friends. But now there are fewer and fewer bees, because the weather is getting colder." Speaking of this, Leila became active. She was very happy that someone could talk to her about bees, and her eyes became brighter.

"What do you want to do for honey?" Aruod asked curiously. He remembered that his honey should be stored enough now and it should not be used.

"Oh, can I tell you?" Leila looked at Aruod carefully, with a timid expression on her face. She lowered her head and put her hands behind her back, looking pitiful.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Aruod asked curiously.

"Because, my father, Jodo, has been coughing very badly recently. I want to find some honey to help him. You won't tell the Jazz, right?" Leila said in a low voice, secretly looking at Arod's face from time to time, like a frightened deer.

"Well, honey is very helpful for coughing. You know it so smart. Oh, by the way, you said Jodo, it's not a coward Jodo." Arod praised Leila.
