But in the next second.

He saw Xu Yun pick up the long sword.

Grant instantly collapsed to the ground, supporting his body with both hands as he moved backwards, his face ashen as he said:

"No, no, I beg you....."

Before he finished speaking.

The long sword pierced through the heart.

A moment later.

Xu Yun looked at Grant, who died with his eyes open, and shook his head disdainfully:

"Such dark blood..."

........

The two only differ greatly in appearance; the weapon they fire... that is, the arrows, are actually the same. But in fact, this is not the case. In 19th-century Europe, bows and crossbows used two different specifications of arrows. The crossbow used something called a three-winged arrowhead, over a third of which was made of copper for extreme lethality, with a length of about fifty centimeters. The bow used a conical arrowhead, with a trapezoidal cross-section, about seventy centimeters in length. (The Guanfu Museum, built by Ma Weidu himself, has a detailed introduction to the differences between various bows and crossbow arrows.) Therefore, the difference in appearance between the two is still very significant. The absence of firearms in the weapons indicates another thing: the attackers were likely to be the English border soldiers! It sounds strange, doesn’t it? —After all, the other party is going to kill, why not just use guns? As always, in border areas, firearms and cold weapons are completely different concepts. The nearest image to everyone is the previously mentioned Galwan Valley conflict, videos of which can still be found on major websites. In that conflict, Ah San’s side lost 20 people, with over a hundred injured, and it was the Bihar Corps, known for its extremism, that participated. Yet throughout the process, no one dared to fire a shot. Similarly, in 2014, Scotland held an independence referendum, which ended with a gap of 10.8%. On September 19, the day Salmond resigned, a melee broke out at the England and Russia border, with over seventy casualties on both sides. Even in that battle, no guns were used; they used machetes, and someone was even hacked into pieces like the style of Ito Sei’s merchandise..... However, the battle took place outside the capital city of Carlisle in Cumbria, the United Kingdom, not in Dumfries Town. Conflicts not involving border invasion can result in casualties, and sacrifices can occur, but not firearms; this can be considered an iron law. Of course, the consequences of crossing the border are different. For example, in the September 11, 1967, conflict, the Rabbits achieved a victory over Ah San’s 607 with the cost of six injuries and one death, a typical case of asking for a beating without reason..... In summary, Dumfries Town is now considered a public area of Suying, an absolute sensitive point at the border. Although it’s unclear why the English army is attacking here, such unwritten rules must be followed. "Swords, guns, bows, and arrows..." Xu Yun listened for a few more seconds to the shouting outside, suddenly frowning: "Oh no, Thomson and Will!" Thomson is the main character of this mission, and although Will is a passerby, over the past two days, Xu Yun has come to regard this honest and simple big boy as a friend. You see. They’re living in tents made of fabric..... Moreover, according to the camp’s arrangement, the tents and carriages are stationed in two areas, nearly a hundred meters apart! Dangerous, dangerous! Thinking of this, Xu Yun paused for a moment and pulled out his package, extracting the sword forged in Ke Da. Then he rummaged for a Heart Protection Mirror—this piece of equipment he bought from Taobao after learning the dungeon was set in the 15th century. Originally, he purchased a Gothic-style neck armor for over 400 yuan, which could protect from your chest up to your neck and chin. However, before entering the dungeon, he considered that firearms had already been invented at this point in time, and combined with the armor being heavy, it likely wouldn’t be of much use.
