Gil's question had caused a buzz within the archer squad of trainee enforcers. They had all just went along with the single use arrow method due to the fact that they always had the resources. "With the city open there will be a lot of trade. This means the material you make the single use arrows out of might be rarer. Of course, the queen could order them to be held at all times. But do you want to take that risk and lose a valuable resource to bring your kingdom to an equal with others?'
Gil had used this as motivation to get them thinking. He had been lucky to have an exceptional blacksmith to craft them for him. But, these archers would not have such blacksmiths ready. They needed to use their own skills to find a new material to carve arrow shafts and arrowheads from.
