Shocked as they were, after detailed discussions, Leon still approved the plan to train the crossbowmen.
In the battle of Longka, if there were crossbowmen who could match the enemy's, with the advantage of terrain, those conscripted soldiers from the Wolf Territory might flee in disarray before even engaging the enemy.
The power of the arrows shot from Silver Mountain Light Crossbows, as Brian said, still posed a significant threat to ordinary armored soldiers, not to mention that the average armored infantryman couldn't be as thoroughly equipped as a Knight Master, and arrows flying into the unprotected parts of the armor would take the life of a big and strong elite infantryman.
After calculating the costs, this could indeed be considered quite cost-effective, of course, provided that they were commanded properly.
Having established the recruitment plans for Chain Armor Spearmen and crossbowmen, Leon then turned his attention to a force even more important than the former two.
