Black Iron Crown

Chapter 50: The Birth of the Standard Armor

Rainer's life is pretty clean these days. The soldiers in the castle have been sent out to help the residents of the reclamation to guard. Although the Klades were defeated, some of the defeated troops still did not leave Fort Moreland. Here to find some food to earn a living.

Perhaps they will not return to their tribe until spring comes, when the prey in the cold forest reappears. These days, the soldiers have captured thirty or forty Klade captives.

Reiner didn't have any humanitarianism either, so he directly threw them into the iron mine to mine ore. In the past, mining was done by the citizens of Reiner. Working in the mine will inevitably reduce the population of agricultural production. Anyway, these people are also invaders who have invaded the territory. They simply throw them into the mine and leave to mine, and the residents of the province will suffer this crime.

More than ten days passed like this, and the blacksmith workshop finally heard the news that the iron armor arranged by Leiner had been finished.

This time, Leiner brought Lumbare and Wende with him. Lumbare was his entourage knight. The close relationship between the two made Lumbare his entourage naturally.

And Wende clamored for Reiner to take him to see this new armor when he heard the news.

When they reached the blacksmith workshop, several blacksmiths immediately saluted Leiner, and one of them took out the forged iron armor and put it in front of Leiner, saying, "Master Baron, the armor you want has been forged!"

Leiner looked at this set of armor and nodded. He was very satisfied with the finished product. At least in terms of appearance, it was not much different from the iron armor in Leiner's memory.

"How heavy is this suit of armor?"

"Eighteen kilograms! Your lord, it weighs eighteen kilograms!" the blacksmith said to Reiner.

Eighteen kilograms, which is heavier than chain armor, but it is estimated that this weight will not affect the combat effectiveness of the strong Morand sergeants.

Guessing is not as good as practice, so Leiner asked Lumbare to try on this set of armor.

I have to say that this set of armor still has some flaws. Although the entire torso can be put on directly from the neck, and then hang directly to the whole body, the gauntlets have to be worn separately and fixed with a belt. There is also a string of belts on the back. fixed.

Although the chain armor also needs a series of belts to fix it, it is still much simpler than the armor in general. In the event of a surprise attack, soldiers can't even afford to wear the armor and have to fight the enemy.

However, if it is a confrontation on the frontal battlefield, then the sergeants in heavy armor are definitely extremely powerful.

With the help of the blacksmiths, Lumbare put on the whole set of armor. Since this kind of armor was originally designed to be used with the chain armor, Lumbare looked much more heroic after wearing it.

Zhajia is a relatively inflated armor, which is different from chain armor that is completely close to the body. After wearing Zhajia, it will give people a bloated and majestic feeling. Lumbare's body is full of muscles. Wearing this Zhajia After that, it became even more majestic.

"How does it feel?" Lena asked.

Lumbare tried to move his hands and feet, shook his neck and said, "Fortunately, it just feels a lot heavier. If you wear it for too long, you may be very tired!"

Lena nodded, this is normal, a set of chain armor alone weighs more than ten kilograms, plus the armor weighing 18 kilograms, the burden on the whole body reaches more than 30 kilograms, it will indeed be very tiring .

"But do you think this kind of armor will affect your movements?" Leiner didn't want the kind of armor he designed to make the soldiers' movements stiff and make them pay the price of their lives on the battlefield.

Lumbare tried a few sword moves and found that there was no obstacle, so he said to Reiner: "It has no effect, although it is not as soft as chain armor, but it does give me a great sense of security.

I used to be afraid to face the mace's attack, but now I can even face the mace with it! "

Hearing this, the fiery Wende who had been watching from the side couldn't wait to say: "Brother Lumbare, quickly take it off and let me try it!"

Lumbare smiled and didn't say much, but turned his gaze to William who was aside, and said to Wende: "I can't decide this! You have to ask Brother Reiner if he agrees!"

"Brother! Let me try it on once!" Wende said to Reiner pleadingly. At this time, he was wearing a delicate leather armor. Although he was only thirteen years old, his height was almost as high as Reiner died, and I don't know what it will develop into in the future.

Lena nodded and said, "Then you can try it!"

After getting Reiner's consent, Wende happily put on the armor for himself, and several blacksmiths put on the other parts of the armor for him and adjusted the size.

After putting it on, he waved his arms, looked at himself in novelty, moved a few times, and then couldn't help shouting: "It's so handsome! When will I have such an armor!"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Reiner.

"It's still early!" Reiner raised his eyebrows and shook his head and said, "You want this armor when you're only as young as you are, so practice it for a few more years!"

"But you also left home at the age of thirteen! Don't tell me you didn't wear armor at that time! I remember it!" Wende's face was full of resentment, and he seemed very dissatisfied.

"Can you beat me back then?" Reiner said with a teasing look at him.

The guilty Wende wanted to refute, but couldn't say anything, so he could only lower his head helplessly.

Lumbare watched the two brothers' argument with a smile. Although he and the two were not biological brothers, the relationship between the cousins ​​was very close, and the relationship was quite good, and they often joked with each other.

In the end, Leiner asked the blacksmiths to tie the armor to the wooden stake, and then took out the long sword in his hand and slashed towards the wooden stake fiercely.

Hearing the sound of steel colliding in the workshop, Leiner put down the long sword in his hand and began to check the condition of the armor.

The three layers of protective layers superimposed in between have been chopped down. There is no way. The steel in this era has not yet reached the level of steel in the industrial age. I took off the armor and found that there were only traces of chopping marks on the wooden man. Nodd quite satisfied with that.

Even if the remaining kinetic energy is cut on the skin after destroying the armor, it is estimated that it will cut a layer of skin, not to mention that the sergeants have a set of chain armor lining inside, not to mention the leather armor.

It is next to the frigid forest and has a lot of woods. Fort Morland has no shortage of animal skins at all, and leather armor can only be made of cowhide, otherwise, how many cows would be enough to kill.

"Oh! So strong!" Wende exclaimed seeing the damage of the armor.

"The damaged gap has a big depression. It seems that it has absorbed a lot of power. It really has a strong resistance to blunt objects!" Although Lumbare is only sixteen years old, he has not fought twice on the battlefield. , even though the empire has been at peace all year round, the background in the most remote area is still a backcountry, and battles still occur from time to time, so he only knows about these in this way.
