"In war, there is no reward for second place. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

-- General Omar Bradley

In the spring of 1174 in the imperial calendar, it has been more than half a year since Leo came to this world, with the help of the system and a certain amount of luck, he did not encounter anything that could hinder the development, perhaps it was too smooth and caused to get carried away, a dragon tear gem actually attracted the greedy eyes of the Duke of Orlando, Leo can roughly guess that aside from the quality of the equipment of knights and soldiers, just from the comparison of troops, the duke is definitely a behemoth for himself, and the fact is also true.

Leo should be grateful for the bad road in this world, as well as the primitive means of communication, after the knight of the white moon returned to the dukedom with a body of humiliation, although the enraged Duke of Orlando hastened the preparation for war, even so, it took nearly two months for the other northern lords who were called to arrive, with the arrival of the last earl, the duke gathered about 2,000 soldiers and more than 200 knights, of course, half of them were just knights.

And the only lord who did not obey the Duke's call was only a 'Baron Lester Crest', and since the Baron confirmed that his ancestors were also from Pande, he had already made a decision on the choice, believing that Leo had put all his bets on the lives of his family and the rise and fall of the Swan family.

One sunny morning, Leo personally waited at the gate of Stormwind to welcome the Baron and his party, accompanied by the three captains and Edward, dressed in aristocratic attire, and as time went on, the Baron's party slowly appeared from the newly built and extended stone road in Stormwind City.

With a smile, Leo took the lead in the horse, and before he got closer, he found that not only the Baron himself had arrived, but even Evely was holding his little daughter and Ken on a pony also appeared in the team, such a lineup made Leo deeply moved, and he understood that the Baron was almost desperate.

On horseback, Lester gripped Leo's hands with a hearty smile, "My brother, this time I brought all the soldiers in the barony who can fight, as well as our new twenty reserve knights, of course, I have been waiting for the surprise you said, and the knights are ready!" ”

What else could Leo say, seeing the more than 200 fully equipped soldiers under Sean's leadership, followed by Andrew's capable knights who had no equipment for the time being, he understood that the baron had taken out all his family resources.

Riding alongside the Baron, Leo waved heavily towards Stormwind, "Thank you for coming, dear brother, and let us go back to the city, I have prepared the greatest banquet for you......"

In the evening, the banquet came to an end, the maid took Evely and the two children to rest first, while Leo and Lester began to communicate with their respective knights, put down the wine glass, the baron lost the spirit of the banquet, and said to Leo worriedly, "Judging from the news summarized from all sides, the Duke of Orlando has gathered more than two thousand troops, my brother, this war is very difficult for us, more than 90% of the lords of the northern territory have gathered under the Duke, and they jointly issued an announcement refusing to recognize your noble title." ”

"What does the empire think? Is there no way to deal with disputes between nobles? For such a long time, the news should be able to reach the ears of the big people in the empire. Once again, Leo questioned the Empire's control.

He shook his head with a wry smile, "What else can I do, everything speaks with strength, if the Duke wins, we will bear all the blame, and the other nobles who are on the sidelines will also fall into the ground, if we win, I think it won't be long before you can receive a certification invitation from the Imperial Capital Noble Council." Leicester spread his hands and said that this is also a world where whoever has the biggest fist counts.

Taking the cold towel handed by the butler, Leo rubbed his face vigorously, and only after feeling a lot refreshed did he stand up, walking back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back and thinking for a while, "There is no hesitation, this battle must be fought, if we give in to greed today, we will not only lose the foundation of survival, but also make others see weakness and bullying, not to mention that in my hometown, pure military strength is definitely not the inevitable decision of the outcome of the war." ”

"There is no problem on my side, everything in the Swan family is on your side this time, in addition to 200 fully equipped soldiers, there are also 20 archers, now I am waiting for you to cash in the equipment of my family knights."

After being stared at by Leo for a long time, the baron was also a little surprised, "Okay, okay, I admit that I was in a hurry, who asked you to draw me such a big pie at that time, anyway, you saw it, the 20 reserve knights I brought are all unequipped, you can look at it..."

Unexpectedly, the baron actually played a scoundrel, Leo's eyes widened, looking at the accustomed expression of Andrew next to him, Leo suddenly felt that maybe this was the baron's normal state.

But fortunately, the swan knight suit that was ready to be provided to the baron had already been prepared, although there were only more than 20 sets of tight, which was enough to equip the knights under the baron's command for the time being, and at Leo's signal, the butler quickly led several attendants to bring a set of armor that had been additionally polished, and the weapons that matched it.

The first time he saw the equipment, Baron Leicester was like a child who had not grown up, jumped up from his chair with a "whoosh", and pushed Andrew with the same glowing eyes to the side.

"Praise the gods, it's a perfect work of art, you know my brother, I can only imagine what it looks like in the description of the Ancestors' Diary!!" As if he were his own lover, the baron's hand gently brushed the shiny shell of the armor, and a choked sound came from his throat, he never imagined that one day, the Swan Knights would be able to reappear in his hands.

Patting the emotional baron comfortingly, Leo smiled and asked, "Don't you want to put it on and try it on?" Dear brother. ”

"Of course, of course." The baron did not shy away from the people present, and directly took off his regular clothes and left only the close-fitting linen underwear, and then put on the swan armor with the help of Andrew and Leo's attendants, when the baron finally buckled the helmet, Leo who was standing aside couldn't help but secretly praise, although the swan knight can only be regarded as second-rate in Pande, but no one can deny that this suit of armor is extremely beautiful.

The slightly pointed cylindrical helmet at the top stretches out two delicate swan wings on both sides, and the thick and overall forged armor protrudes outwards layer by layer, which not only gives the wearer a larger space inside, but also increases the defense on the other hand, and the edge of the shoulder armor is extremely sharp, unlike other knight armor, the swan armor has a circle of naturally drooping armor skirt from the waist down, although it looks a little bulky in comparison, but it makes the overall style more gorgeous.

The baron walked back and forth excitedly for a while and was quite satisfied with the weight, the drawings produced by the system maintained the perfect defense at the same time, and there was no problem with the weight of other knights' armor in the Middle Ages, a knight could wear it himself even if he did not have the help of his subordinates, after all, most of the armor armor was composed of a whole, and the connection was supplemented by fasteners, which greatly reduced the difficulty of wearing.

The baron, who was slightly less excited, was reminded by Leo to take over the specially prepared weapon for the Swan Knight from the hands of his squire, a one-handed sword, a square knight's shield, and a meteor hammer, yes, a meteor hammer, a black hardwood handle with iron chains fixed with two fist-sized horror striking weapons, densely covered with countless spikes.

This is Leo added later, considering that the swan knight will definitely not have the terrifying swordsmanship of the punishment knight, and there is also a big gap in the sharpness of the sword, and the meteor hammer can make up for all this very well, first of all, it is not difficult to use, and the short chain will not cause accidental injury to yourself, and secondly, in the face of the same heavily equipped knight, the meteor hammer is definitely a weapon to break the defense.

In addition, the one-handed sword and shield are relatively ordinary, in addition to the original version, the long sword is much more in width than other one-handed swords, there is no other special feature, the outer part of the shield wrapped in metal is covered with basket paint, and the position left in the middle is for the baron to depict the family emblem to use, as for the riding spear, this Leo has no choice, there is no matching factory can only let the baron choose it himself.

The entire set of Swan Knight Armor, except for Leo who has the blueprints from the system, can be made, there is no blacksmith in the entire continent who can imitate it, and it takes into account the defense on the premise of reducing weight, which is the reappearance of the swan, not the shoddy imitation that the baron imitated before.
