Heroes of Silver Moon

In the king's study, Clifford and Bronco knelt on one knee and saluted the old king who was lying behind the desk.

"Your Majesty, we are back." The two said in unison.

"Well, get up, how is things going?" The old king opened his eyes wearily, with a hint of weakness in his tone.

His body is aging almost every moment.

"Your Majesty, that kid has arrived in the capital, and is now in the mansion of Grand Duke Gasepe." The two stood up, and Clifford replied first.

The old king nodded and looked at Bronco.

"The 50,000 sets of half-body plate armor promised by Lord Simon have all been transported to the capital by the King's Wing Knights." Bronco replied respectfully.

"Oh?" The old king's eyes shone brightly, and he said excitedly, "Let's go and have a look!"

50,000 sets of half-body plate armor are enough for the second army of the Silver Moon Kingdom to rank among the first-class army in the mainland. This was something he could not even imagine before.

The three of them, together with Crown Prince Yona, arrived at a military camp outside the capital. The Knights of the King's Wings and some guards were stationed in the military camp.

In the heavily guarded warehouse, the old king saw cart after cart of plate armor covered by canvas. He casually lifted the cloth of a carriage and began to watch carefully.

"Huh?" Looking at the shape, size, and identical busts, the old king looked a little surprised, and asked Bronco, "These 50,000 sets of busts are all exactly the same?"

Bronco's face was a little dignified, and he replied: "No, Master Simon is very thoughtful and divided all the armor into three sizes, 40,000 sets of normal size, 5,000 sets of large and small sizes. But except for the size Besides, these 50,000 sets of armor are indeed exactly the same, as if they were made from the same mold."

The old king narrowed his eyes, as if he was digesting the news. After a full half minute of silence, he said in a deep voice, "Don't doubt, this kid must have invented a technology that can mass-produce metal armor."

Clifford was not surprised by this, he had already guessed the conclusion.

But Crown Prince Jona's eyelids twitched, looking a little unbelievable.

You must know that all the metal armors in the world are hand-forged by blacksmiths with one hammer and one hammer, which is not only time-consuming, but also expensive.

Naturally, this kind of metal armor with powerful defense and rare quantity can only be equipped by a very small number of people, most of whom are officers and nobles.

There are no more than ten legions in the entire main continent that can be equipped with metal armor.

It is not that no one has tried to mass-produce metal armor with molds, but for thousands of years, generations of alchemists have never been able to break through this difficulty.

The biggest difficulty is that the molten iron is poured into the mold, and the metal armor produced is mostly rough in texture and uneven in thickness, which causes the center of gravity of the armor to shift.

In battle, even the slightest mistake could lead to the death of a soldier, not to mention this kind of fatal flaw that can seriously affect the user's balance.

Therefore, no one dares to use the metal armor produced by this kind of mold, and it is naturally a failed production technology.

But unexpectedly, this problem was actually solved by that kid.

Crown Prince Yona's expression was a little strange.

Thinking about it now, what Simon promised back then was too lightweight. He should have thought that this kid would have mastered this technique.

The old king glanced at him and said very flatly: "The next time you go to Xinfaling, ask for this technology."

The corner of Crown Prince Yona's mouth twitched, and he smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, this technology is very important. I'm afraid he won't know how to hand it over so easily."

Turning his head to look at the heir, the old king was a little disappointed, and asked, "Didn't you find out that all the private troops under that boy's command are not equipped with armor?"

Crown Prince Yona was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and began to think seriously.

If you say that, it seems to be true!

Clifford coughed lightly, and said: "The private army that Simon gave him is equipped with a new type of alchemy bow and crossbow, which is very powerful. It seems that some don't like the traditional combat method of the army."

Crown Prince Yona looked complicated, and nodded with a wry smile. Compared with these smart people, he is indeed a little behind.

"Okay, let's go and look at other things. For the King's Shield Knights, what about the five hundred full-body plate armor?" The old king said casually.

Bronco didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly ran to other locations in the warehouse, lifted the carriage cover, revealing one after another wooden boxes that looked like coffins.

After prying open the wooden box, a well-regulated full-body plate armor appeared in front of everyone.

"Why are these thin leather plate armor?" After groping for a while, the old king was a little disappointed.

A true full-body plate armor should be at least one-third as thick as a knuckle.

This kind of plate armor, which is only as thick as the nail cover, can only serve as a ceremonial plate armor at most, and its actual combat value is not high.

While disappointed, the old king was also a little puzzled. Is this the full plate armor that the kid promised? Was it to amuse him?

Clifford coughed again~www.readwn.com~ and said with a strange face: "Your Majesty, although these are all thin-skin plate armor, they have all been enchanted by Simon's master alchemy, and their defense power is absolutely comparable. High-level enchanted ordinary plate armor!"

"What!" The old king almost jumped up in shock.

The super high defense of the plate armor comes at the expense of the mobility and physical strength of the user.

Now this kind of thin leather plate armor weighs only one-fifth of ordinary plate armor, but it has a stronger defense than ordinary plate armor. Any fool can know how much advantage this has for the user.

And most of the time, the knights fight on horses, and the load is greatly reduced, which naturally means that the horses have stronger battery life.

This is not a question of one plus one equals two. With these, the combat power of the King's Shield Knights will at least be increased by more than ten times after master-level enchanted thin-skin armor.

It is equivalent to becoming one of the top knights in the mainland.

"This kid really has a heart." The old king murmured in a low voice, and then he stopped looking at the armor and turned to look at Bronco.

"King's Wing Knights, how is the recent training situation?" The old king asked with a frown.

In the Knights Tournament ten years ago, the Knights of the King's Wings performed like mud. He had no choice but to get rid of the idiot leader and transferred Bronco, who was the deputy leader of the Knights Shield at the time.

I don't know if the knight he gave high hopes has reawakened the fighting power of the King's Wing Knights in the past ten years?

"Your Majesty, the King's Wings have achieved combat power!" Bronco assured with confidence.

"Oh?" The old king showed a trace of curiosity, and said with interest: "Then let me have a look!"
