Leather Armor Completed

The workshop's speed went without saying.

In just three short days.

The workshop had produced the leather armor Clan Chief Yang Yu had requested.

Yang Yu stood inside the workshop, looking at the leather armor made by the two old men. Satisfaction filled his eyes.

The two old men had ultimately not disappointed him.

"Clan Chief, although this treasured armor cannot block arrows, it can reduce the casualties among our clan's warriors."

Yang Shan looked at the leather armor in the clan chief's hands as if it were a treasure. Excitedly, he said, "We have already conducted many demonstrations. With the bows our clan currently uses, arrows shot from beyond twenty paces cannot cause fatal injuries to our warriors. At most, they will suffer some flesh wounds."

The two layers of leather had been combined, and since the arrows currently did not use iron arrowheads, they could not completely penetrate the leather armor.

"Not bad, not bad."

"Shan, Yuan, your contributions to our Yang Clan are plain for all to see."

"You are the pillars of our clan."

Yang Yu did not hold back his praise for the two old men. He said, "Come, let me test this leather armor and see what it can withstand."

With that, Yang Yu took the leather armor straight out of the workshop.

Seeing this.

Yang Shan and Yang Yuan hurriedly followed Clan Chief Yang Yu out of the workshop.

After all, this was a divine object they had made.

Since the clan chief was going to demonstrate it, they naturally had to follow him. That way, they could show their presence and let everyone in the tribe know that this was their achievement.

They arrived at an open area.

Yang Yu tied the leather armor to a tree and said, "Bring me a bow."

Hearing this.

A Da hurriedly handed his bow to the clan chief.

When Yang Shan and Yang Yuan saw that A Da had actually taken out his own bow for the clan chief's test, worry appeared in their eyes.

After all, A Da's strength was among the greatest in the entire tribe.

The bow he used was essentially a composite bow.

The bows they had used to test the leather armor, however, were ordinary bows used by the warriors of the Hunting Team.

Thus, they were worried that the leather armor they had made would not withstand the test.

Many tribespeople saw the clan chief doing something with Shan and Yuan. They put down their work one after another and gathered around to see what was happening.

There were always people interested in watching the fun, no matter the era.

Even a Primitive Tribe was no exception.

"What is the clan chief doing?"

A woman of the clan looked at the bow and arrow in the clan chief's hands and the leather tied to a tree twenty paces away. Puzzled, she asked the people beside her.

However.

No one could answer her question. Everyone merely watched the scene ahead with curiosity.

Lin Er was watching as well.

Shan and Yuan from the workshop had actually made the armor the clan chief had requested.

She glanced at the two decrepit old men in surprise, admiration filling her eyes.

"It seems I'll have to pay more attention to these two old men in the future."

Lin Er murmured under her breath. Her gaze burned as she looked toward where Yang Yu stood, but she did not approach.

Yang Yu was not disturbed by the people gathering around him. Instead, he held the bow in his left hand and picked up an arrow with his right. He nocked the arrow, drew the bow, and aimed at the leather armor twenty paces away. He pulled the bow made of multiple bamboo strips, resembling a composite bow, into a full crescent before gently releasing the arrow.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow tore through the air with a sonic boom. In almost the blink of an eye, it struck the leather armor and sank into it.

Seeing the arrow embedded firmly in the leather armor, Yang Yu frowned slightly. He hurried forward and looked at the armor.

The leather armor had been pierced by the arrow, which had driven deeply into the tree.

"C-Clan Chief."

Seeing this, Yang Shan looked at his clan chief with some embarrassment and tentatively called out.

Yang Yu merely raised his hand slightly, stopping Yang Shan. He said, "I know. Shan and Yuan have made outstanding contributions to the tribe. Their names should be recorded in the tribe's history."

"Thank you, Clan Chief."

Yang Shan and Yang Yuan bowed respectfully upon hearing this.

Their deeds would be recorded in the tribe's history.

Even if they died in the future, history would remember them.

"You may withdraw for now."

Yang Yu spoke decisively. "Is there nothing else for you to do?"

Seeing the clan chief's imposing gaze, everyone left the area one after another to attend to their own tasks.

After everyone had left.

Lin Er looked at the leather armor pierced through by the arrow and said, "Yu, this armor is probably useless."

"Useless?"

Yang Yu turned to look at Lin Er when he heard this and let out a dumbfounded laugh. "Lin Er, you're saying this thing is useless?"

"That's right."

Lin Er nodded solemnly.

If it could be pierced by an arrow, how could it protect the tribe's warriors?

"I'm making this thing not to ensure their safety, but to reduce their injuries."

Yang Yu spoke seriously. "Do not underestimate any weapon that has been developed. Each of them will bear witness to its era."

"Reduce injuries?"

Lin Er looked at her clan chief in astonishment.

She did not understand the latter half of the clan chief's words, but she had keenly caught the two words "reduce injuries."

"That's right."

"Arrows, long spears, and thrown bombs will all cause considerable harm to our clan's warriors."

"If we possess this, then whether it is an arrow, a long spear, or a thrown bomb, it will be unable to cause fatal injuries to our warriors."

"This object will play an extremely important role when our clan conquers other tribes."

"We do not know whether the other tribes already possess flint-tipped long spears, bone spears, bows and arrows, or other such weapons, but we must guard against that possibility."

Yang Yu nodded solemnly and said, "That is the purpose of this object. Do you understand now?"

"But..."

Lin Er reached out and tugged at the leather armor, which had been pierced by the arrow and nailed to the tree. It could not be moved at all, leaving her deeply doubtful.

Could this thing really do that?

"Hahaha!"

Yang Yu immediately burst into hearty laughter. He weighed the bow in his hand and said, "Look at this bow. How does it differ from the Hunting Team's bows?"

"This is A Da's bow?"

Lin Er carefully examined the bow in the clan chief's hand and only then realized that the bow he had used was actually A Da's.

A Da and A Er were famous throughout the tribe for their great strength.

They were second only to the clan chief.

Ordinary bows could not withstand the strength of those two brutes and were easily broken.

That was why the clan chief had asked Shan and Yuan from the workshop to specially make bows and arrows for the two brutes.

"That's right."

"Do you think the bows of other tribes can compare with A Da and A Er's bows?"

Yang Yu let out a helpless laugh.

Lin Er shook her head slightly. "I don't know."

After all, they had never come into contact with other tribes, so naturally they did not know what condition those tribes were in.

"You don't know, and neither do we."

"That is precisely why making this object is so important."

"When conquering other tribes, we must make complete preparations."

"We must not take enormous risks to annex a tribe whose population is comparable to ours."
