Sophia's original outfit really made Martin look at it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Shabby, too shabby.

Between the two layers of sturdy thick fabric, a wool rag is padded as a cushion. Sewn with thick thread, the armor has been handed down for more than a thousand years, and warriors wear it everywhere on the continent.

However, knights often wore this armor under a layer of chain mail or scale armor as an extra layer of protection, and did not pin their hopes of blocking the enemy's blades. Most of the people who wore only such thick coats were low-status fighters. At the end of the day, it's just a matter of blocking arrows. There is no need for a special armor-piercing weapon, a sword or spear can easily break through this layer of protection.

As for the shield, it seemed like it was just a wooden lid for a wine barrel......

And that's all about Sophia's protective gear. Helmets, boots, bracers and the like are none. The protection on her head depends on her hair, and the protection on her feet is only felt boots. In this way, it is difficult to hold out and exert combat effectiveness in a truly fierce battle.

In terms of weapons, the one she is holding now is a little better, and it can be regarded as a long sword of general quality that meets the general requirements. But that's about it. It's completely a big road goods made in batches in a blacksmith shop. Martin didn't look down on it either. Such a sword can be used when attacking an opponent who lacks protection. If the opponent has good armor or tough fur, it will not be able to effectively kill the opponent.

It's all changed. That's what Martin had in mind when he arranged Sophia's equipment. Therefore, when he returned to the inn, he asked everyone to show off their equipment and discuss her equipment with Sophia. After all, they are all in a team, and they must cooperate when fighting, so they should also consider this aspect in terms of equipment. For example, after one hoplite, the rest of the warriors have to consider whether to take the light route to implement different situations.

The mage's equipment Sophia couldn't read. Zali's equipment is a bit weird, but it's a good thing to recognize at a glance in the eyes of a veteran like Sophia. Martin's equipment surprised Sophia, although he could guess that his equipment was good by looking at Martin's lot of money and some personal feelings during the battle in the sewers, but he didn't expect it to be so sophisticated. And when she saw Natasha's equipment, she was a little curious, why she had all the weapons and equipment, but she didn't have a piece of armor to protect herself, according to Sophia's original memory, Natasha was wearing a leather armor at the beginning.

Well, Martin thought very thoughtfully, and hid Natasha's leather armor before, and that armor can't be seen by the paladins!

Sophia herself is very strong, and she has received full training as a paladin, so she can not only use all military weapons, but also be able to fight in heavy armor. But the rest of the squad is also strong, with Martin and Shirley both being good-ranked spellcasters. In this case, it doesn't make much sense to enhance her combat effectiveness alone, the key is how to make her cooperate with the squad so that the squad as a whole can exert stronger combat effectiveness. She will act as a lubricant to make this fighting machine run more smoothly.

First of all, as a paladin, she has certain healing powers. The holy warrior itself has a unique ability to use positive energy for "holy healing", and if it bursts out all at once, then the healing power of that moment is still above the priest. In addition, the paladin who has reached her level also has the ability to cast spells, and can use some low-level divine skills like a low-level priest, which naturally includes healing divine techniques such as healing ease. Coupled with the fact that she can wield low-level healing wands with ease, there is another healing member of the team besides Martin, although not so professional.

Secondly, the Paladin was a formidable warrior in his own right. Even more so Sophia. Martin had already experienced her swordsmanship, and it was indeed very strong, which made him ashamed of himself. In many cases, the paladin, wearing a thick body of invulnerable armor and holding a long sword and shield, is the backbone of the team. A guy whose combat skills are not much weaker than those of ordinary warriors and who have added special abilities such as divine magic is very difficult to mess with. Not to mention that in addition to physical attacks, the paladins can be stopped with armor and shields, and they also have extraordinary resistance to various magical attacks. Spells such as dissociation, for example, can be a warrior's nightmare, but when used against paladins, they often only have a small effect rather than a full effect.

Martin's placement of Sofia's role depends on the tactics of the entire team. The tactics of the team are based on the situation of the specific personnel in the team. From this point of view, there is a sense of mutual cause and effect. According to Martin's consideration, the team has different formations according to different situations.

If there are a large number of enemies but they are weak, then first harass the enemy with a ranged attack, weakening the enemy and forcing the enemy to attack on your own initiative. At this time, depending on the strength of the opponent, use less magic to split the enemy, and at the same time, Martin, Natasha, Sophia, and even Zari all launched a white-knuckle assault to defeat the enemy through hand-to-hand combat in one fell swoop. This saves spells and prevents them from running out of spells and causing the second battle in one day that may affect the effect. If the enemy has a strong ranged force, then depending on the situation, Natasha can choose to slowly wear down the enemy, or Martin and Shirley simply use powerful magic to kill each other in one fell swoop.

If the number of enemies is small and the strength is strong, you should use all your magic to weaken the opponent first, and try to avoid melee combat. At this point, Natasha uses a bow and arrow to pin down her opponent, Zari roams the battlefield, and Sophia acts as Shirley's escort to avoid her surprise attack, at which point Sophia may even have to protect Sophia with her own body. After all, the mage is the core force of the team. Among adventurers, there is a popular saying that one method is better than ten swords.

If you encounter an unusually strong single opponent, the team will be split in two. The first team consisted of Sofia, Martin. The other team consisted of the remaining three. The two teams are separated by a distance and are able to support each other. Slowly wear down your opponent with one group of centaurs to grab the opponent's attention and another set to attack with all your might, depending on the situation.

Of course, there are far more than a few specific situations that will be encountered, Martin probably said a dozen or so situations, and decided on Sophia's new equipment according to the envisaged tactics.

In this age of barbarism, many times people cannot count on the state apparatus to protect themselves. So it's up to you. Caravans tend to hire mercenaries, and ordinary people often choose to travel in groups and carry weapons. In this climate, there will be no shortage of people of all kinds who rely on combat for food. So there are people who earn money by serving them. For example, the pretty good weapons shop in this town.

The town is a thriving trading node. The quality of the products in the armory shop was a little better than Martin had envisioned. Originally, he saw a dwarf activity in advance, and Martin was thinking about buying Sophia a plate armor made by dwarves, but he did get to the name of the dish called Hammer and Fire (a typical dwarven style, the name of a shop with no culture to speak of). In the process, Martin actually saw a breastplate of quite good quality blessed with magic.

Plate armor is not the same as full-body armor. It is a type of armor made from large, plate-like metal that has been shaped. If it is subdivided, it can be divided into full-body plate armor that covers the whole body, and the half-body plate armor that mainly protects the upper body. In between, it was the three-quarters of the heavy cavalry's favorite. This includes, of course, the cuirass with the smallest protective area in front of you. It consists of two sturdy curved plates----- chest plate and back plate, weighing up to 10 kilograms, which can provide it with the same protection from chest to waist as the whole body plate. In itself, the protective power of the cuirass is quite strong, and this one also holds magic. In the usual style of the dwarves, there were no bells and whistles about that magic, it just took the breastplate's defense to the next level.

The idea that key protection is better than overall protection is not only embodied in Canion, but also in Sophia, a holy warrior far to the northeast, is familiar with this kind of protection idea. So as soon as Martin said what he had arranged, she understood and assisted him in choosing his own protective gear. Of course, you can't forget about Natasha when it comes to buying armor, since the old one can't be used, then you need to buy her a new one. Natasha didn't question that thought, except that her outfit was lighter and less than Sophia's, because she wasn't used to wearing more armor to fight - behind the scenes, she complained to Martin that she was upset that she couldn't wear the better armor because of Sophia's accession.

Sophia's character is a melee swordsman, so she is more protected. Natasha was not fit to wear a cuirass because she had to shoot a bow and arrows, so she bought another pair of disc armor, which was also a dwarven craft, and also had the blessing of magic to make it stronger. The so-called dish armor is the kind of armor with chain mail as the main body, but the front and back are protected by two large round iron plates. Often used as a substitute for not producing real plate armor, but it is suitable for riding marksmen. Except for those two iron plates, it's basically like a chain mail vest.

In view of the fact that the cuirass had good protection but limited protection area, they chose armor from other places. Considering that the arm is an enemy weapon that is relatively easy to damage, and that the impact of the injury there on combat effectiveness is great, Martin chose a pair of gauntlets for Sophia along with hand armor. It will provide protection from the hand to the elbow. And Natasha, considering her positioning, naturally didn't want this kind of equipment. Instead, she bought a pair of bracers that are commonly used by archers, which provide some protection without affecting her archery and javelin throwing.

The protection of the head is also very important, of course, considering that the adventurers are more flexible and mobile in combat, the kind of giant barrel helmet commonly used by knights will not be considered, and both of them simply choose a suitable pointed helmet. It is the kind of helmet that is tied with a leather strip to the chin and has limited protection for the area above the ears. The face and chin are exposed. However, considering Sophia's unusually beautiful face, Martin still instructed the dwarven craftsman to add a hanging lock curtain to her helmet, which is only a level to protect against enemy attacks. But it can cover Sophia's face very well.

The protection of the lower half cannot be ignored either. For the protection of the buttocks and thighs - it would be a pity that such a wonderful place was destroyed by an enemy attack. So after they both picked out a nail dress. Martin also suggested that they wear suspenders. It's not a silk fabric, it's an authentic iron guy. In fact, it is made like chain mail, but it is made in the shape of stockings, which are hung from the thighs with a garter belt, otherwise ordinary elastic bands will not be able to prevent it from sliding due to weight. It is one of the important pieces of equipment for knights who cannot afford to wear full-body plate armor. There was a knightly order, hence the name Garter Knights. However, according to Martin's idea, all the parts below the knee were removed by the craftsmen, and the protection on the back of the calf was abandoned, and for the front of the calf, the high-quality shin guards were used.

There are a lot of these parts in the armory shop, and you can directly select the ready-made ones for a slight transformation, which is quite cheap. It was presumably removed from the entire set of damaged armor, but Martin tried it and found that the quality was still very reliable.

For a warrior who does not have a heavy full-body plate armor, the shield is of course an indispensable companion. Considering the different needs of different occasions, Martin specially purchased different types of shields for them. In terms of size, there are very small round shields, and there are also large square shields that can protect most of the body, and a shield of ordinary size is of course even more essential, but I didn't buy a tower shield. In terms of materials, they range from steel shields to leather shields to oak shields.

Finally, there are the boots. When the protection from head to toe was completed, Sophia's combat power went up a step directly. In the past, for example, she had to be careful to protect herself from the enemy's blades. You often have to move yourself and use your sword to stop your opponent's attacks, so you have to give up the opportunity to attack your enemies. Now, however, she can use her armor to eat a few enemy attacks, ignoring her defenses and attacking her opponent with all her might. For one-on-one battles, such an advantage is not yet obvious. But considering the situation of siege and melee, this is quite important.

Grabbing the gold coins that Martin had pulled out, the dwarven boss was happy to fiddle with more gadgets for them to choose from. It's not easy to come across such a big customer. Normally, a soldier has his own set of equipment, and they come to the armory mainly to repair their equipment, and at most they will buy one or two of what they need. It's rare to see a master who dresses completely from beginning to end as soon as he enters. Selling a helmet is a lot different from selling a complete set of equipment that is enough to arm a warrior, not to mention that he is a rich man, and he does not hesitate to take out gold coins in the face of magical equipment.

"Come and see our blades, authentic dwarven craftsmanship, and enchantments are invited gnomes. It worked so well!" The chubby, barrel-like boss jumped up and down, took a wooden box from the apprentice, and opened it for Martin to see. His eyes were vicious, and he guessed what kind of weapon Martin needed.

Presented in a wooden box is a heavy sword, also known as a one-and-a-half-hand sword. It's somewhere in size between a longsword and a greatsword, so it can be used in a variety of ways. It can be held in the right hand alone, with a shield or a short sword in the left hand to attack the enemy steadily, or it can be simply held with both hands. Swing at the enemy with all your might. Of course, everything is often loose. If you fight with one hand, you must be trained to use it to the fullest extent, otherwise you will probably lose the accuracy of your sword moves due to its weight and length. And if you hold it with both hands, the hilt of its sword at this moment is not long enough, and its power is far less than that of a giant sword. However, it is a common choice among paladins, as a proper heavy sword is one of the more suitable one-handed weapons for the powerful Hexbreaker (Kopais is the best one-handed weapon for the Hexbreaker, but Sophia doesn't use it). In addition to this, it is also suitable for cavalry on horseback, as its length makes it easier to reach the infantry below.

A single heavy sword is nothing, but this one is good because of the enchantment stats on it. At first, there was a layer of flowing white light running gently on it, as if it had condensed into a milky white cloud. That's an enchantment of a divine attribute. As long as they are not evil, they can take up a weapon with this attribute and fight, and any evil creature that is attacked by it will be burned by the divine power above. And beneath that ethereal, loose layer of light that overlays it. There was another layer of light, also white, but more substantial, almost frozen into ice. That's how it came from the bottom. Needless to say, anyone who knows anything about enchanted weapons knows that the magic attached to them is a pure good attribute. Once the Paladin takes it, it can deal extra damage when attacking anyone who is not good enough. It doesn't matter if the opponent is an evil monster or a neutral natural creature.

This heavy sword has two magic effects attached to it. It can be said that this is already quite a rare and excellent magic weapon. It's completely up to the level of an aristocratic family's heirloom.

"That's good...... Sophia exclaimed. She stroked the heavy sword with her hand, and immediately felt an indescribable affinity. The sword, as if it was chirping, wanted her to hold herself in her hand. And she did it unconsciously. And then the white light immediately exploded.

Seeing Sophia's appearance, the dwarf boss had a bottom in his heart, and immediately reported an incredible number to Martin. Even Martin, who had the backing of the previous booty, was taken aback by that number. Sophia was even more startled, and hurriedly put the sword back in the box, her face flushed.

"Ah, that, no, no. I'll look at other weapons. Sophia stammered. She is a very measured person, and she knows that she has not yet made any achievements in the team, but has already spent a lot of money on the team, and has added other problems to the team, so she does not want Martin to spend so much money. She originally thought that Martin had made her come here just to buy ordinary armor and weapons, but she didn't expect that Martin would spend so much money to carefully equip her, and she had never enjoyed such treatment. She felt that the original armor was too expensive, not to mention the heavy sword.

But Martin sighed and began to bargain with his boss. And the boss had been staring at Sophia's reaction before, knowing the attraction of the sword to her, so he naturally refused to relax.

"I'm such a fool. Sophia, with her head hanging down, thought. She's not unruly about the fireworks of the world. Naturally, I know that when buying things, I shouldn't show special affection. Otherwise, let the boss see it, and it will be difficult to bargain.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Whew, there is less plot in this chapter, mainly on the setting of weapons and equipment. After all, I'm a military house, so I like this.

But having said that, I still think it's better to have sex than war. For example, on the Taiwan issue, a group of people shouted to fight, kill, and kill, but in the end they didn't have to go to the beach to land on the beach. As for what to say about nuclear leveling. It's either a kid or a paranoid, it's not worth mentioning.

As far as I'm concerned, I think that if there are a million mainland men marrying Taiwanese women, another million mainland women will marry Taiwan. After all, the two sides of the strait have the same culture and the same species, and there is no problem in getting married.

Don't think it's just a joke, because of envy of economic wealth, there are really a lot of mainland women who marry in Taiwan. On the other hand, now that the mainland is becoming more and more prosperous, it is not for nothing that people have married, and I heard that what S has come. As the exchanges between the two sides of the strait become closer and closer, there will be more cross-strait marriages.

Of course, you can't put your hopes in that kind of thing. The premise of love and not war is to be strong enough to defend one's citizens and stand in front of each other as equals. Otherwise, it will just be regarded as a ...... by the other party From this point of view, the mainland still needs to continue to develop its armed forces, and it must have more than three aircraft carriers. If the Air Force wants to carry out a large-scale operation to increase its projection force, it also needs stealth strategic bombers.

In addition, I want to say that my other novel, "The Leader of the Demon King of the Other World", has now been signed A, and I plan to use that novel to change glasses, fall in love, and buy snacks. Now the update of that book will be fast. Pay attention to this chapter push.
