Sun Lingshu and Li Xihua did not even need to think before immediately agreeing. They then took two rather odd-looking crossbows from Wang Zhen.

These were two magically modified modern mechanical repeating crossbows, so their appearance differed considerably from that of ancient crossbows. If this had been an ancient world, Wang Zhen might not have brought out such unusually designed mechanical repeating crossbows out of consideration for historical authenticity. But Middle-earth was a fantasy world, not a historical world that had truly existed, so he could confidently use these mechanical repeating crossbows, which looked vastly different from ordinary crossbows.

Some people believed ancient cold weapons were better, but that was actually a stereotype. Thanks to modern society's advances in materials, engineering, physics, and other fields, the power and effectiveness of cold-weapon equipment such as swords, axes, hammers, and armor far surpassed those of ancient times. Of course, unless one brought out the legendary Ganjiang and Moye, or the Sword in the Stone—the famed Excalibur, the Sword of Victory and Oath—or found a mythical weapon like Ea, ordinary ancient cold weapons were not stronger than modern ones. This was especially true for bows and crossbows, where modern recurve bows and mechanical repeating crossbows had reached terrifying levels of power.

The bow limbs of modern mechanical repeating crossbows were made from high-tech materials such as composite carbon fiber, giving them high energy storage, fast rebound speeds, and long service lives. Their strings were made from materials such as new composite nylon, with no stretch and extremely high tensile strength. Their bolts used high-strength materials such as carbon fiber for the shafts, precision machine tools to process the arrowheads, and aerodynamically optimized fletching. Equipped with cam and pulley systems, they could effectively reduce the effort required while increasing firing speed.
