Watching Baron Richard and his entourage leave very arrogantly, although William also expected this, it did not mean that William could accept it.

Everyone present was also angry, and they all accused Baron Richard of his arrogant and rude behavior.

"Guys, step aside." With a wave of his right hand, William persuaded everyone on the field to leave, stood up, and said to Sir Hubert in front of him: "Sir Hubert, come with me, I have something to give you, and perhaps it will save your life at a critical moment." ”

"Yes, His Highness William."

So saying, Sir Hubert bowed and took a step to follow William.

After a few steps, the two of them came to the backyard of the town hall, where no one was disturbing except for a few infantry guards.

As soon as he arrived in this more secluded backyard, a strange suit of armor on a wooden frame caught his eye.

The smooth and shiny chest plate armor has a raised line in the middle, which looks like a chicken breast, and two thigh-shaped iron plates are attached to the bottom to act as shins.

In addition, this armor also has a very fancy large-winged helmet, with pieces of iron riveted to form neck and shoulder guards.

At the same time, its arm guards, hand guards, leg guards and boots are made of hard iron bars inlaid on leather armor, and the wrist joints, shoulder joints, knee joints, etc. are protected by iron plate armor and are well connected with the arm guards and handguards.

There is almost nothing on the front of this set of armor that cannot be defended, except for a slight gap that will be exposed when moving a lot, the rest of the time can completely cover the vital parts of the human body, and the full-body chain mail worn inside can also play a good role in protecting the whole body of the human body.

Of course, there is no such good protection behind him, and due to technical limitations, it is not possible to create full-body plate armor, so I have to give priority to the defensive effect of the front.

William led Sir Hubert forward to this armor, gently tapped the chicken breastplate with his right hand, turned to Sir Hubert and said: "Sir Hubert, I call this armor plate armor, among which this chicken breast plate armor with the strongest defense is the most defensive, in order to make this breastplate, I used twelve experienced blacksmiths, and the best iron materials were refined into steel one by one, and then hammered into iron plates, and it took nine days to finally make it!"

The same is true of the Winged Helmet, which is divided into two parts, the helmet and the mask, both of which are made of two iron plates, one large and one small, struck at a time.

The rest of the armor on the shins, shoulders, iron boots, etc., was made by borrowing some ring armor techniques from ancient Rome, and did not affect the normal activities of the wearer at all.

In addition to the full-body chain mail with a chainmail hat worn inside, these armors are not combined, and they are excellent for the wearer to defend against attacks such as slashing and stabbing arrows! ”

"This..."Sir Hubert was completely stunned by this armor, as a veteran of the battlefield, he could see at a glance the powerful defensive power of this piece of armor, especially this chicken breast plate armor and this fully covered large-winged barrel helmet, their defensive power completely surpassed the existing chain mail, most of the slashing and stabbing of swords, guns and halberds could not be effective, and even the arrows of the longbow did not necessarily penetrate the chicken breastplate armor and the large-winged barrel helmet in Sir Hubert's opinion.

His keen sense of smell on the battlefield made him think of the first thing that could be used to equip the whole army with this kind of plate armor.

"Your Highness William, can this slatted armor equip the whole army, at least our heavy cavalry troops?" Sir Hubert asked, turning his head at William.

William shook his head, and said in a rather regretful tone: "No, at least it is impossible in a short period of time, and the other parts are okay, the chicken breastplate and the large-wing barrel helmet are all handmade, and the cost is too high, almost seven or eight times more than the current chain mail and Norman spire helmet." ”

Sir Hubert shook his head regretfully at William's return, and turned his head to stare at the plate armor, with a smile of hope on his face.

In Sir Hubert's opinion, as long as this kind of armor with superior defense can be made, perhaps after more than ten years, when the technology has advanced, it can be made in large quantities and equipped with cavalry troops.

William looked at Sir Hubert affectionately and said, "Sir Hubert, put on this plate armor, I hope you can return safely from the duel of life and death under the protection of this strong plate armor."

Sir Hubert burst into tears when he heard William's words, and got down on one knee to hug William and kiss each other on the cheek.

"Sir Hubert..."

The two let go of each other's embraces, and Sir Hubert stood up, turned and walked towards the plate.

Sir Hubert first put on a full-body chain mail with a chainmail cap over his cotton coat.

Replace the two leather boots on your feet and replace them with two pairs of leather boots on the shelf with ring armor on the front.

Remove the slatted armor from both calves—leather armor with a dense iron bar a finger's width—attach it to the calf and tuck one end into the upper of the iron boot, then fasten it with several attached straps.

With two slatted armor parts of leather with iron kneepads strapped to his thighs, Sir Hubert stood up and jumped, lifting his legs for a few steps, not feeling any discomfort at all.

Looking down at the junction between the knee pads and the shin slats, Sir Hubert could not see any gaps in them.

After putting a neck guard on his neck, Sir Hubert removed the chicken breastplate and put it on his body, and with a few strokes he fastened the belt buckles on the back and shoulders of the chicken breastplate, and the ring plate shin armor attached to the slatted leg guard was attached to it, and the shin armor was fastened with a belt.

Seeing Sir Hubert wearing this plate armor that William had carefully designed, well, let's say plate armor, William's face showed a smile of relief.

Sir Hubert, who was not far away, also smiled and nodded at William, waving his hand.

Ser Hubert, who had his torso and lower body parts dressed, turned around and removed two slatted arm parts with iron elbow guards from the armor rack, and fastened them with the belt buckles on them.

Taking down the two iron shoulder pads, Sir Hubert picked them up and looked at them, and found that the large iron plates on the iron shoulder pads completely covered the parts of the shoulders, and there was a round piece of armor the size of a palm on the front of the shoulder joint, and the ring armor extending from both sides could be connected to the arm parts, so that the arm part did not show a trace of gap.

After putting on the two shoulder pads, Sir Hubert tapped the shoulder armor with his left hand, turned his arms, twisted his shoulders, and raised his hands upwards so that after several times he felt no obstruction from the armor, as if they were part of his body.

Pick up the Norman sword with its scabbard attached to the belt and hold it around your waist with both hands like a belt, while the Norman sword is firmly tied around your left waist.

With iron gloves on his hands, Ser Hubert put the last piece of equipment, the Winged Barrel Helmet, on his head in the chainmail cap, closed the armor, and twisted his head.

Stompe... Stompe...

With the sound of vigorous footsteps, William watched Sir Hubert approach, like a tall iron giant, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
