『It would be better to hand out good bows and arrows rather than crossbows.』(Datara)

「No, no, I’m not going to hand out the crossbows to everyone. I’m going to turn the crossbows themselves into Undead.」(Vandalieu)

Vandalieu would make spirits haunt the completed crossbows, creating Cursed Weapons. Cursed Weapons are weak, Rank 2 monsters consisting of weapons possessed by spirits that move on their own. Normally, they would be unreliable even against normal soldiers, let alone Vampires.


However, crossbows fire projectiles capable of piercing through plate armor with the pull of a trigger. They are also highly accurate. Because Cursed Weapons don’t use martial skills to begin with, there are no drawbacks.

The problem would be making sure they were loaded, but if Vandalieu installed each of them with a Golem arm responsible for reloading and placed them on the walls, the city’s rooftops and the royal castle, that problem would be solved.

Once this was complete, he would have tireless archers that would shoot enemies to death until running out of projectiles to fire, undetectable through【Detect Presence】and capable of seeing in the dark.
