Instant Bow (Part-1)

Alexander's fourth shop was his most special one because the product it was making would revolutionize warfare.

It was also his most skill-based shop, employing only carpenters and smelters.

"Master, here," Takfiz invited Alexander into a workshop, the smallest in size of the four.

It looked ordinary and inconspicuous and if one were to walk by it, no one would think to glance at it twice.

As Alexander and his bodyguards were invited in, he found the shop to be dirty and dingy, with wood shaving and small bits of metal bit strewn all over the floor

The large windows let in copious amounts of light, letting Alexander see the thirty men that were tolling way, all too busy to properly pay attention to him.

Some were shaping the wood making it into a bow.

Some were shaping the wood to make a crossbow, drawing grooves on the wooden stock, and using a tool called the plain to make the wooden ends narrower than the head.
