Chapter 50: White Steel Armor

In the Tisilan Mountains, the Molten City.

It's a city close to an extinct volcano, and the fertile ash makes the nearby crops grow excellently, and the soybean plants grow tightly on the flat terraces. Legumes are also the main source of plant protein for animals.

The extinct volcano is covered by green terraces built around the mountain like a staircase from top to bottom, except for a huge grotto on the mountainside, which leads to an extremely wide avenue, and from time to time mossy rhinoceros pulling mine carts in and out.

Heavy steel minecarts crush deep ravines in the gravel road, and a rabbit-eared tribe dressed in linen hangs a red fruit from a long pole, which is so popular with mossy rhinoceros that they follow the direction of the fruit as long as it is hung in front.

At present, the rabbits are very skilled in cooperating with the monsters in the mountains, and they have established a good relationship of trust with each other, and they have a very clear understanding of the hobbies and habits of these monsters. Mossy rhinoceros prefer cool and moist places, and they don't come to the inside of the volcano in normal times, but the ore is so heavy that it is too difficult to pull a rickshaw, so the rabbits have to think of other options.

After some trial and observation, this kind of shakya fruit is very popular with these simple rhinoceros, even if they pull a minecart to the inside of the volcano, they can bear it, so the rabbits will exchange the reward for this fruit, in order to take care of the habits and protection of these rhinos, they will also put a bucket of water on the car, and from time to time water to wet the rhinoceros's back and body, to dissipate heat and keep the body surface moist.

The red Sakya fruit is said to have been passed down from the Eastern Continent many years ago, and it is also called Bufuna on the Eastern Continent, which means the fruit of longevity. Although this is an extraordinary world, there is no fated saying that you can only live for many years, this fruit is just very sweet, if it is a special extraordinary variety, it can cure the dark diseases in the body, and it is indeed reasonable to prolong life.

As the minecart entered the interior of the mountain, a wave of heat came to the face, and the dark red fire light was reflected on the surrounding rock walls, and then the noisy sound became louder and louder, the twitching sound of the bellows, the trilling sound of striking iron, the sound of steel cooling, the sound of water boiling and evaporating, the sound of the impact of the giant hammer, and the rabbit-eared people in the robes of craftsmen were metallurgizing and forging metal products.

Inside the volcano is an irregular red lake, full of hot magma, surrounded by a wide circular walkway, next to which are workbenches, where hundreds of rabbit-eared craftsmen are working enthusiastically, and the crisp sound of metal clashing can be seen everywhere.

A tall rabbit-eared tribe stood in the workshop inside the volcano, tall and round-bellied, wearing dark red steel armor with shiny and raised spikes, which looked a little hideous.

At this moment, a large man with black rabbit ears walked in, wearing a white cloak and fitted silver-white armor, followed by several gun-wielding guards wearing the same style of armor.

"Kanda, why are you here?" The tall rabbit-eared clan was a little surprised to see the big man in white cloak come in, but he grinned with a familiar smile on his face, it seemed that they had known each other for a long time.

"Furnace Mountain, I'll come over to see how the new armor test goes, His Royal Highness Lorain Hill has passed on the plan, and the legion will be formed recently."

"You can rest assured, I have been here to supervise and supervise every day recently, everyone is experimenting step by step, the basic process has been set, and the rest is to optimize and maximize the cost performance."

The big rabbit in red armor didn't speak as hideously and thorny as his armor, and he looked very easy-going and vigorous. He handed the big axe in his hand to the rabbit next to him, and strode over to give Kanda a big hug.

"We haven't played a fight in a long time, or we have a fight tonight and have some more drinks."

"It's okay to compare, but it's not okay to drink for the time being, it's important to get down to business." Kanda smiled, and the two talked as they walked.

Considering the needs of the war, Lorain Hill finally decided to form an elite army mainly cavalry. The others are ordinary legions with spears, swords, and bows, and the elite are given priority to enter the cavalry units.

The current world of Ivar is still dominated by cold weapons, and the existence of extraordinary power makes the strength and physique of individuals far superior to the ancient times in Loren Hill's memory, and there are armor made of various magical materials, and some extraordinary protective skills come with them, and the lethality of projection weapons is far less than the ancient memories in memory.

There is a limit to the attack power of projectile weapons, such as the pull of the bow and crossbow, the amount of early gunpowder reloaded, etc. Even if you are a powerful Hercules, the bow and arrows you shoot are limited by the performance of the weapon, and the extra strength can do nothing but break the bow.

Therefore, most of the battles in this world are still solved in close quarters. The bow and crossbow will have a great advantage in the low ranks, but with the improvement of the transcendent sequence, after sequence 4, the effect of the bow and crossbow will begin to be greatly weakened, unless you can attach magic and other skills to the arrows, which is the elven race's forte, and other races are not very good at it.

Cavalry on the battlefield can often play a decisive role in changing the tide of battle. Without cavalry, even if the opponent is defeated and the enemy flees, there will not be much pursuit, and the results of the battle will not be extended. Moreover, sometimes in order to attack the enemy's weak forces, break the line, go around, outflank, etc., cavalry is the most important. This is also the reason why Lorraine Hill, like the other Precursors, preferred cavalry.

"Kanda, though I've said it many times."

"But I really admire Your Highness, Old Furnace."

"What's wrong with you?"

"You'll find out if you come and see."

Furnace Mountain led Kanda to a workbench with two pairs of armor on it, both made of steel.

"You see, the one on the left is the armor I found someone to buy in Zephyr, it is said that a certain down-and-out nobleman sold the armor left by his ancestors in exchange for money, I later looked for someone who knows how to see it, this is indeed genuine, that bastard boy will regret it in the future, this good armor shows that his ancestor should be a viscount."

Then his stout hand flipped open the upper part of the armor, revealing a brass shield-shaped micro-medallion.

"The motif on this micro-badge is a hill with a flame burning, indicating that its owner was a veteran of the 'Quenching War' and had made great achievements. It is estimated that after the establishment of the country of Zephyr, at least he was given a viscount, after all, the king of Zephyr at that time was still very generous to his subordinates. ”

"Then the one on the right is the new armor we created according to the drawings given by His Highness, and the amount of steel used and the weight are basically the same as the Zephyr armor on the left."

Kanda looked at Furnace Mountain with some puzzlement, and Furnace Mountain continued.

"We tested the strength of the two, and guess what?"

"That must be the strength given by His Highness."

"That's right, how much stronger?"

"Three?" Kanda overestimated a little.

"No, it's ten times as much!"

Lushan laughed, then picked up the giant hammer next to him and knocked it down twice, the armor on the left was dented, and several small holes were pierced by the convex corners on the giant hammer. The white steel armor on the right bounced up slightly, emitting a metallic trill, intact.

[White Steel Armor] (Rare Silver Grade): After being improved again by advanced technology, the plate armor has excellent toughness and strength, can disperse the impact force, greatly reduce damage, and can be manufactured on a large scale, with high cost performance.

This is an improved version of Lorain Hill after getting the blueprints according to the technology of the Mercury Dynasty, it may not be very strong, but the inexpensive and streamable materials of the crafting materials make it possible for everyone in the legion to wear and get good protection. After all, every life is precious, and letting everyone survive is her favorite direction.
