Chapter 158: Armor

The sun slowly turned west**, reflecting a large cloud of red. The red clouds were one after another, like a raging fire burning in the sky.

The cool evening breeze blew slowly, and even if it was far away, you could smell the slightest smell of blood.

Tang Feng and Paul walked side by side, leading their soldiers back to the Aberdeen camp.

They had just been withdrawn from the battlefield.

After the brutal baptism of the battlefield, under the life and death tempering of blood and iron, especially in the last two battles, they have transformed from a reserve and support role to a member of the main battle team.

Today, they can be considered a qualified fighter.

"Look, it's the boss!"

Paul touched Tang Feng with his shoulder, and the shiny armor collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

Tang Feng followed his line of sight.

I saw that on the hillside in the distance, Anthony, dressed in white, stood with Arlina and Caton, looking at the Aberdeen troops who had just retreated from the front line.

The distance between the two sides was relatively far, Tang Feng didn't say hello or wave, but just reached out and touched the armor on his body, and he was afraid for a while.

Anthony had just talked to him the day before yesterday and wanted to help him prepare a set of armor. As a result, the things had already been delivered early this morning, just before the army went into battle.

Thanks to the leader's armor, he would have been unlucky today. Even if you are lucky enough to save your life, you will end up seriously injured.

It was a full-body armor that encased him from head to toe. The exterior is rustic and unpretentious, without any superfluous decorative embellishments. There is no other armor commonly carved dragons and phoenixes, or painted birds and animals, so naturally the original color and characteristics of steel.

The only peculiarity may be that the appearance is extremely flat and smooth, and the corners and corners are extremely smooth. Just like the wind blowing the clouds, the water surrounds the reef, and the artistic conception of the natural clouds and flowing water is like nature, not like a blacksmith in the world can create it. Even the dwarves, who are famous for their forging skills, may not be able to create such an artistic work.

But that's just a façade.

Only when the armor was put on could Tang Feng discover its strangeness.

At first glance, this set of armor, which is supposed to be made of steel, is not heavy, and it is probably a light route. But when Tang Feng took it from Anthony's hand, he didn't pay attention and almost smashed something on his instep.

An ordinary strong man would not have much trouble picking up such a set of armor. Although Tang Feng's martial arts cultivation is not high, he is also a professional. In terms of strength, how can it be more than five times that of ordinary people, and even a set of armor is almost unstable? How is this possible!

Tang Feng was surprised by the unusual weight of the armor, and at the same time, he was secretly embarrassed in his heart.

The set of armor that the leader took out obviously had another mystery, and it was by no means as simple as it seemed from the outside.

But such a treasure is not blessed by himself.

As long as you put it on your body, it will become extremely difficult for you to even walk, and you will not be able to go into battle.

The good things that the boss specially prepared for himself are indeed what he needs most now. Is it because of this ridiculous reason that the leader's kindness is rejected? Besides, Divine Armor, who doesn't like it? Even if you can't use it now, when you go up in martial arts cultivation in the future, you will naturally be able to use it.

But as soon as I took it here, I turned around and put it in the package, which was too ugly. The leader made it very clear that this was specially prepared for him to go into battle to kill the enemy.

Anthony didn't seem to notice the tangle in his heart, and reached out to draw a pattern in the air that he couldn't understand at all, with graceful and fast movements. Then let Tang Feng bite his finger and drip a drop of blood into the array.

Anthony slapped his hand, and the array of faint golden light was photographed by him on top of the armor. The entire suit of armor immediately glowed with a soft glow.

The light was fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, it was gone. Together with that strange array, it seemed to be completely integrated into the armor, and there was no trace of it anymore.

The whole process was extremely fast, and Tang Feng hadn't even figured out what Anthony was doing, but all of this had already been done.

Then, without explaining at all, Tang Feng understood.

The armor in his hand suddenly lightened in weight and became as light as a feather.

Putting on his upper body with his hands and feet neatly, Tang Feng only felt that the whole set of armor fit perfectly, and it fit him very well. It was as if it was tailored to his body measurements.

Although Anthony has repeatedly emphasized that this is not a set of magic armor. Tang Feng also didn't discover its magic ** ability for the time being. But he still decided in his heart that this was definitely not an ordinary set of armor.

Those movements that Anthony completed very quickly just now that Tang Feng couldn't understand, where did ordinary armor need these. Besides, the weight of the armor has been reduced, which is a real deal, and there is at least a magic like "feather falling technique" in it!

Tang Feng's feeling was right, and he quickly realized the unusual features of this armor.

And it's a personal experience of his life.

In the past two days, Anthony's words have been hovering in Tang Feng's mind. Is Taranto's purpose as the leader has guessed? How should the Aberdeen army respond? What can you do in the midst of this impending crisis?

These thoughts kept flashing uncontrollably in his mind, and he couldn't hold them down. made his whole person look muddy and unwilling. At yesterday's military meeting, he was even more distracted, and almost didn't let General John, who had been in a bad mood recently, scold.

Only on the battlefield, in the brutal fight on the front line of life and death, can Tang Feng temporarily put aside these messy thoughts.

But inevitably, his mind was still affected a little, and he couldn't concentrate 100% of his attention.

In this killing field where dozens or even hundreds of people fall to the ground and die every instant, a slight distraction is likely to greet you with the embrace of death.

Just after cutting down a bearded Taranto soldier to the ground with a knife, Tang Feng didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and a mountain axe suddenly slashed out from behind the bearded man who was slowly falling to the ground with the sound of whistling wind.

The tricks of the people who came were extremely old and spicy, and the timing was just right. It is the moment when Tang Feng's old power has gone and the new force has not been born. And just after defeating the enemy, ordinary people will subconsciously always have a moment of relaxation.

And Tang Feng could only watch the giant axe get close, and he didn't have time to make any dodge and block moves.

The attackers were experienced and clearly battle-hardened.

The most terrible thing is that he is a bronze fighter, and his martial arts cultivation is a whole level higher than Tang Feng.

With overwhelming strength, he chose the most suitable time to carry out a sneak attack, and the attacker was full of confidence in this move, as if he had seen the scene of the giant axe splitting his body.

And what else can Tang Feng do besides closing his eyes and waiting for death?

The loud sound of "" seemed to cover up the earth-shattering shouts and killing of the soldiers of the two armies around them.

The Giant Axe hit its target without incident, as its owner had hoped.

Seeing that a heavy battle feats were about to arrive, the attacker's heart was ecstatic, and a smile was already on his hideous face.

He had been peeking and observing for a long time, and this young officer was killing the enemy on the battlefield while shouting for command, and it seemed that his official position was extremely high. Maybe it's not impossible to be a captain, or a thousand generals, or even a general. But his martial arts cultivation is low, even lower than his own bronze junior squadron leader, but he still likes to rush to the front.

Isn't this in the **naked** Lao Tzu?

Like a cheetah lurking quietly, the squadron leader of Taranto silently approached its prey, seeing the right moment, suddenly bursting out and delivering a killer blow.

Seeing the prey panic like this, a bloody pleasure rose in the attacker's heart.

The position is high, the strength is weak, and the people who are not rushing to the front with their own strength, who can blame them? Remember to practice hard in the next life, and now obediently present your head to Lao Tzu!

But he only guessed the beginning, but not the ending.

With a loud bang, the giant axe slammed into the young man's armor, knocking the young general of Aberdeen far away.

That's right, it's smashing, not chopping, it's not chopping.

The attacker felt that he had a hammer in his hand, not a mountain-opening axe. With all his strength, he only knocked the opponent out of the air, but it did not break through the armor on the opponent's body.

How is this possible?

His armor wasn't very heavy. The attacker was a veteran of the battlefield, who had seen a lot of weapons and armor, and had a deep understanding of the shape, performance, advantages and disadvantages of various types of armor.

The set on the young general's body, no matter how you look at it, will not be a thick armor. Looking at his flexible and light movements when swinging his knife and slashing, it is clearly a set of light armor, where can the protective power be high? It's no problem to resist arrows and rapiers, but it's already a little reluctant to face the slash of the broadsword. As for heavy weapons such as the Kaishan axe, the wearer can only pray for the blessing of the heavens.

Based on the attacker's own experience, I don't know how many lightly armored enemies have been killed. Under the sharpness of the mountain axe, it is generally split in half with the armor of the person.

But the young general was wearing some kind of armor, which was not only lightweight, but also had first-class defense. His eyesight is very good, and at the moment when the young general was chopped out, he could still see that the treasure armor on the other party's body was intact, and he had not even been damaged at all after such a heavy chop.

A series of thoughts flashed quickly in his mind, and before he had time to think about anything else, Aberdeen's soldiers had already surrounded him like crazy, protecting Tang Feng who had been thrown back under the heavy shadows.

Other warriors were red-eyed and screaming and rushed at their attackers, a posture that was completely the same as the end of the fight.

The attacker sighed secretly, put away the great axe, and quickly retreated into Taranto's military formation, disappearing in a few turns.

It's not that he's afraid of these red-eyed Aberdeen warriors, it's just that since the opportunity to hunt is gone, there's no need to waste his strength in a desperate fight with these miscellaneous soldiers.

Tang Feng, who was heavily protected, supported the ground with one hand, struggling to sit up, but where could he do it.

The two soldiers under his command hurriedly stepped forward, one holding him by one arm and slowly retreating with him in his arms.

The other soldiers around them, some with shields and some with swords, scanned the surroundings vigilantly, beware of cold arrows on the battlefield and possible lurkers.

From time to time, they quickly glanced at Tang Fengqian, who was in the protective circle, and quickly retracted their gaze and continued to be on strict guard. The look in his eyes and on his face all revealed his concern and love for his superior.

"How?"

Paul hurried over, threw the long knife with blood and minced flesh to the men who followed behind him, and took over the work of the two soldiers who were supporting Tang Feng, and asked while supporting Tang Feng.

Although Paul is not a professional, he is extremely talented, and his strength is higher than that of the average black iron fighter.

At the very least, Tang Feng is not his opponent.

Tang Feng held his hand and slowly stood still, took a deep breath, and said, "I can't die." ”

As soon as he spoke, he caused a violent cough. Then he spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".

Tang Feng took a few breaths and slowly stood up.

I feel a lot smoother now.

"Okay, I'm fine."

Paul and the soldiers were relieved to see that he looked much better than before, and that he was speaking more loudly.

Paul helped him a few dozen steps further back and found a large rock to sit down.

It was already some distance from the front line where the fighting was fierce, and Taranto, as the defensive side, had always relied on the defensive line to fend off Aberdeen's attacks. The occasional sporadic counterattack, also near the fortifications, never penetrated too far into Aberdeen's military formation, and the position should have been fairly safe.

"I told you a long time ago, you can't do this. Didn't the boss warn you too? Look, something happened! ”

As soon as he sat down, Paul began to count his boss mercilessly.

The other soldiers looked at Tang Feng with concern and nodded in agreement. One of the tall soldiers also spoke out to persuade him.

"Yes, Mr. Chi. Everyone knows that you are a capable person, and it would be good to command the battle in the back. With you in the rear, everyone knows the bottom of their hearts. Leave it to us to charge into battle. ”

Paul grinned and said, "See? That's what everybody says. ”

Tang Feng smiled helplessly, but felt a burst of warmth and relief in his heart.

He knew in his heart that he was not fit to lead the charge—Paul was well suited to do this—but the nature of the recruits, and the realities of the Aberdeen army, forced him to lead by example and boost morale.

After a few real battles, the recruit troops under his command are now considered to be in shape, and they also highly identify with themselves as leaders, and they should indeed withdraw their positions. Today's attack and injury is a good opportunity, I can take advantage of the situation to retreat to the rear and calmly command and dispatch the soldiers to fight. It's better to leave things like capturing the flag to Paul.

Paul reached out and tapped on the armor on his chest, and whispered in admiration: "I really didn't expect the armor sent by the leader to be so strong." Even the kind of iron cans on the heavy cavalry may not be able to match it in terms of defensive power. ”

Anthony did not favor one over the other, and prepared a set of armor for Tang Feng and Paul.

"yes!"

Tang Feng nodded in agreement, his tone full of emotion for the rest of his life.

Things in the world are sometimes so magical and mysterious. For example, whether the leader's armor was in his hands two days earlier or two days later may be a trivial matter of no matter to others. But for Tang Feng, it is the difference between life and death.

He gently stroked the position of his chest that was chopped by the mountain axe with one hand, while silently feeling the situation in his body.

The attacker was actually mistaken, and the magical armor was not unscathed by such a fierce attack. A faint dent appeared, recording the danger that the owner had experienced.

However, after being hit by the giant axe, there was only a little bit of "broken phase" on the outside, and there was not even any damage to the function at all. The defensive power of this suit of armor was so strong that Tang Feng was speechless.

He vomited blood and fell to the ground after being attacked, because he couldn't withstand the strength of the attack that was higher than the martial arts realm, not because the armor was not well protected. Armor can only resist the sharpness of the enemy's weapons, but it cannot isolate the transmission of pure power.

When you think of the lightness and dexterity of the armor, it is even better than the average light armor. The set of armor with a simple and even simple appearance taken out by the leader, even if it does not reach the level of "artifact", can be passed down as an heirloom for generations.

"With this armor, I have no worries. Ha ha! ”

Tang Feng, who was contemplative, heard the comfortable laughter of his partner in his ears.
