Chapter Fourteen

“Urgent gathering!”

Gerald, who became an ordinary bald man, did not wear armor today and did not even carry weapons. However, he naturally exuded the awe-inspiring momentum of a strong man, which made people dare not underestimate him.

At his level, armor and weapons are just a sidebar. The power of the strong himself is the best proof of his identity, which is enough to maintain his majesty.

For example, at this moment, with his loud shout, the barracks in the night suddenly started to make a fuss. The soldiers of the Knights got up in chaos, put on their armor, took their weapons, and hurried to the big square in the center of the camp.

At Gerald's feet, a special incense is burning rapidly, burning fast and stable. Looking at the scale marks on it, it is obviously a tool for timing.

Although there are clocks and watches in this world, the leader of the Void Kamen Knights likes to use this old-fashioned incense to calculate time - during an emergency gathering.

His standard is very simple. Before the online incense is burned, he wears armor and comes to the square with his weapons. He is good at rushing before he burns three-quarters of it. When he arrives before he burns, he is good at passing the exam.

As for those who came after burning the incense... Haha, hahaha...

After years of training, the Knights' warriors are already quite elite. Even though it takes some time to wear armor, most of them still rushed to the square before they burned three-quarters of the incense. In the end, only two were unable to pass the exam.

Looking at the two guys with long-awaited faces, Gerald showed a ferocious smile on his face and asked faintly: "Sweep the toilet and confinement, choose your own choice."

The two unlucky guys who were just a little short of failing to pass the exam, look at me, and I looked at you, and chose the former with a sigh.

Cleaning the toilet is indeed dirty, smelly and embarrassing, but it is better than being in a confinement!

Traditional military camps are keen on using corporal punishment. However, the Void Kamen Knights are not like this. Although there are many ways of punishment, they will never be hurt - except for crimes being escorted to court. Their usual punishment methods are two: cleaning the toilet or being locked up.

It goes without saying that the former is, although the Knights' camp is well built, even if the toilet is not particularly dirty and messy, there is no toilet in the world that is neither dirty nor smelly? Not to mention how shameful this job is, if you are punished once, you will be laughed at by your colleagues for a long time.

But the latter is even more terrifying. The confinement room is specially made, with sound isolated inside, and only a small light on the roof emits light. Because of the role of the magic circle, no matter how hard you try, you will not touch the walls or roofs. It is like an ant standing in the vast world, standing alone and helpless. Even a brave person will be terrified after closing it for a few days, and he will never want to go in again in this life.

The source of members of the Knights is very complicated, and some of them are from veteran adventurers. These heroes who lick blood on the knife may not take battles and injuries seriously, nor do they care about being beaten or hunger, but even the most unruly ones are frightened after being locked up once, and they would rather clean the toilet than be locked up.

After announcing the punishment for the backward elements, Gerald's eyes swept over the soldiers lined up in fourteen rows.

The eight lines standing in front are heavy soldiers wearing special "Void Full Body Armor", which is armor made entirely using special means, and the manufacturing method is a secret. Each main part of it is a large piece of stainless steel, which is completely different from ordinary armor.

The traditional armor in this world is divided into three categories: leather armor, inlaid armor and chain mail.

Leather armor is a thick leather-sewn armor treated with fireproof water. It is light and durable and has a certain degree of defense. The key is that it is relatively cheap, so it is the favorite of junior adventurers. Soldiers of ordinary army often use this armor.

Of course, there are also high-end products in leather armor. For example, leather armor made of certain special Warcraft leather is a rare and top-notch. It is not only light but also extremely strong, and has powerful magic defense. However, the price is also amazing, even advanced adventurers may not be able to own it.

Inlaid armor is commonly used by veteran adventurers and elite troops. Its main body is still leather armor, but many metal pieces are inlaid on the leather armor, which greatly improves the protection.

This kind of armor has rich content, the styles and types are ever-changing, and the price and defense are uneven. The best ones are inlaid with a complete layer of metal on the leather armor. This certainly greatly increases the defense, but the weight will also increase a lot. Except for the particularly strong heroes, few people can wear the "heavy inlaid armor" to fight.

Chain mail is the rarest armor. It is based on a soft armor woven with countless small iron rings. Some are used directly, some are covered with hard skin on the outside to avoid attracting attention, and some are stacked with armor pieces on the outside to form a thick double layer of armor.

Only soft armor in the inner layer is called "chain mail", and metal armor plates are superimposed on the outer layer are called "chain mail". In the past years, lock mail has been the most solid in ordinary armor. Especially those who use heavy large armor plates, their defense is strong enough to withstand the attacks of a variety of weapons. They have no disadvantages except being bulky and expensive.

But the whole body armor of the void is completely different from them. It also has an inner chain mail, which can not interfere with the inner and outer layers of armor. There is also a special soft leather jacket in the middle, forming a triple protection for the inside and the outside, greatly improving defense. Because the outer layer of armor uses overall molding technology, it is not only strong, but also unexpectedly flexible when worn on the body, and does not hinder action at all.

Someone once tried it. Wearing a whole set of Void armor, you can run, dance, dance, and even somersaults - of course, it is somersault and side-turning, and it is definitely not possible to turn around.

The soft leather jacket inside this armor also has another mechanism. It has several hooks. When wearing it, just hook the hook with the outer armor. After wearing it, the weight of the armor will be evenly distributed to several parts of the body, greatly reducing the burden on the body.

The heavy-armed warriors of the Void Kamen Knights can even run in such armor!

If you don't consider enchantment, this kind of armor is undoubtedly the pinnacle of ordinary so-called "refined armor", and no even a kind of armor can be compared with it.

And the inventor of this new type of armor was Sui Xiong.

Before traveling through time, Sui Xiong learned and copied a lot of European armor when he was designing the game. As a serious painter, he would not learn from some inferior crash courses. He would do whatever he wanted to make a lot of armor. Every character wearing armor he painted had a historical prototype. It was precisely because of that job that he knew a lot about the full body armor of the famous knights in history, and could even draw a relatively simple structural diagram.

After the Void Mask Amusement Park stabilized, he saw that the soldiers wearing heavy lock mail were slow to move when the Knights were training, so he drew out the patterns of the full body armor of the knights in his memory, compared them with magic, and directly shaped them with magic.

However, these armors were not as easy to use as he thought, and were as bulky as he wore on his body. He studied it for a long time but still didn't understand it, so he had to ask Morani for help in the end.

As the saying goes, he specializes in his skills. Morani is worthy of being the forging god of the orcs. He only took a few days to study what was wrong with the full body armor of the Knight made by Sui Xiong, and then improved it and turned into the current full body armor of the Void.

In fact, Sui Xiong was also blamed for not being good at learning skills. His understanding of the Knight's full body armor is nothing more than the shape of the armor sheet and the rough decomposition structure. Of course, these materials are correct. Even though the armor improved by Morani was based on this, he did not really understand the internal structure of the Knight's full body armor, and did not know what kind of lining this armor is under the glossy appearance.

This is natural. As a painter, he doesn't need to understand those things, nor does he collect that information at all. It's enough that he knows the external structure of the armor.

Finally, the designed Void Full Body Armor received great praise from Morani. The forging expert said that the emergence of this kind of armor can be said to be a brilliant mark in the history of world armor and will definitely be recorded in history.

"From now on, advanced refined armor will enter the era of full body armor!" Finally, He asserted so.

Sui Xiong was not very interested in history and as a super jellyfish that never dies, he himself is history. But he was very happy that the armor he designed was successful, and then he wanted to promote them.

But at this time, he encountered a big problem.

It is extremely difficult to forge the armor of the whole body. A veteran blacksmith spent a month and could only create a few pieces of inferior goods that did not meet the requirements. If you want to make this armor, the only feasible way is to use the power of magic to directly shape the steel by an intermediate or even higher level mage.

In this way, productivity will become a problem.

Sui Xiong tried hard to recall, remembering that he seemed to have seen a saying on the Internet that such armor was made of steel plates in one go with a stamping machine. So he wanted to try to make stamping machines and steel plates. The latter was not troublesome and was completed quickly, but the former... Even if he was very patient, he failed without any clues and finally gave up after failing for dozens of times.

According to legend, when Edison improved the electric light, he failed more than a thousand times in one breath in order to choose the right filament. Someone comforted him at that time, but he said, "I failed more than a thousand times, but I successfully proved that more than a thousand materials were not suitable." The authenticity of this story is a different matter, but there is no doubt that Brother Xiong does not have such a thick heart.
