Bab 81: Chapter 64 Shooting the King_2

"The distance now is three to four hundred paces, too far for longbows to reach," the young man calculated silently for a moment and then answered seriously. Following that, he assessed the landmarks ahead.

"If I could lure Tizoc near that large rock ahead, it would be within one hundred fifty paces, right in the range for a longbow's trajectory!" the young man declared confidently.

"Good!" Aweit nodded, "Next, I will invite Tizoc for a meeting, try to get him as close as possible. He should not yet be aware of the longbow's range. You lead the Longbow Guards forward slowly, further reducing the distance between us."

"As soon as I wave the Divine Staff with my right hand, the Longbow Guards will concentrate their fire on him! Giving him an honorable Samurai's death!"

The young man nodded vigorously, slightly excited. If they could eliminate the king in one fell swoop, the battle would be easily won. The opposing army would surrender without a fight!
