Chapter VII Carrying Gear and Composite Armor
From the perspective of the female centaurs, Ninia Wald, as a leader, undoubtedly does not meet the ideal standards.
Centaurs can only be led by themselves or by Skava who are familiar with the population, and the latter is not really ideal, because the relationship between the two sides is at best limited to a physical sense of in-depth knowledge, and there is not enough spiritual trust.
Schiff can be a translator, a guide, and an intermediary, but let him lead this cavalry team into battle, needless to say, "Red Whirlwind" himself is not at ease, and the other centaur sisters do not buy it.
Even if Schiff and Cana met many years ago, the two sides can't be said to have no good feelings, but they are by no means to the extent of in-depth communication.
Cana was a burly woman, with a dignified body, a dignified face, shoulders like double-door refrigerators, and a thousand pounds of strength in both arms, running faster than the storm of the grassland.
And Ninia Wald, who always follows the lord within three meters, the chief female slave of Schiff's Chinese Forest, is slender and weak, and her face is as delicate as a delicate doll, in Jana's opinion, she belongs to the type that is thrown into the grassland to live for no more than three days, and giving the wolf an independent meal cannot make the wolf open and full.
Judging by her size, Jana knew that her experience of riding a horse could never be compared to that of a Skava knight, with two beautiful long legs that were not strong enough to control a horse, and her shoulders were not thick enough to hold a weapon while riding a horse for long periods of time.
What's more, her face was so white and delicate, there was no trace of the sun and wind and frost at all, if everyone hadn't said that she had suppressed more than thirty villages and towns and recovered half of the territory for the lord, Jana would have thought that this chick was sitting in a carriage to fight.
As for the power of the Chosen Spirit, the men and horses could not comprehend it, and the cavalry battle focused on maneuverability and flexibility, and if they could not catch the enemy, those gods would be useless at all.
No matter how much she has the ability to charm her master in other places, but on the battlefield of life and death, the power of life is contained in the physique and muscles, and this delicate little girl is better to stay in the castle as a vase.
Compared to this unreliable Chosen Lady of Light, a female knight with no appearance, Cana would rather let Shiv lead them.
Of course, this kind of thing can't happen, and the lord can't let a Skava who is not an absolute henchman take on such a big responsibility, so Jana knew that this matter would not go well, but she still had no choice but to accept it.
A general who can't share weal and butter with his subordinates and fight side by side with her, she doesn't want to follow in her heart.
Everyone is living so well every day now, no one wants to lose this situation, if it weren't for the fear of the lord's blame, Cana is really looking forward to fighting Ninia, so that she can retreat from the difficulties, and don't rely on favor to stir up trouble everywhere.
Before leaving, Ninia finally came to everyone, this seventeen-year-old girl was also the first time to get close to the people, but she was neither put on a show, nor was she at a loss, and her gestures were all mature and steady with experience.
This girl must have seen the world, Cana thought to herself, it seems that she has good guts, not as bad as she thought.
Under the gaze of a group of centaur warriors who were half a body taller than her, Ninia was not the slightest timid, and was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of the centaurs, with a confident and gentle smile on her face, and slowly walked in front of Cana.
Although Jana looked down at her from a downward stance, the golden glow emanating from the Chosen One made people feel a tingling sensation of staring at the bright sun, which made Jana can't help but retreat a little.
"Hey, salute," Schiff reminded in a whisper, "this is the big man of the territory."
Jana sighed, bent her front leg down, and made an extremely humble kneeling position, only to be stopped by Ninia's hand.
"Miss Cana, you don't have to salute me, or I'll have to move a chair and stand up to salute you in return, it's too troublesome."
Holding her little hand was not as delicate and soft as she imagined, but full of calluses, and Jana immediately realized that this was a person who practiced swordsmanship all year round.
It seems that she is quite able to endure hardships, and she should have participated in a lot of battles, and it seems that she is not the kind of waste who purely relies on bed work to please the lord.
When I got closer, I found that Ninia was wearing
A black sword that exuded a cold aura, the killing intent that permeated this thing was like an entity, making the red whirlwind feel a chill down his spine, and the illusion of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood appeared in his mind.
This is definitely a magic sword that only demons use, and normal people will never be able to control such a weapon......
Seeing Cana's eyes staring directly at her saber, Ninia looked down and actually patted the sword like a pet, and the coercion that made her soul tremble was immediately reduced by half.
"Duka, don't scare anyone." Ninia taught her in the tone of a parent scolding her child, "No matter how mischievous you are, be careful not to give you food."
The Lightless Blade hummed aggrievedly, and it seemed that it was really a little scared.
This set of unimaginable operations made Cana a little dumbfounded - such a terrifying magic sword, was it domesticated by a little girl?
"Do you know why the lord values her?" Shiv stood on tiptoe and bit her ear on the other side of Cana, "Not only can she fight, but she is also a territorial idol, if anyone bullies her, all the men in Silver Dragon Castle will not agree."
After hearing these words, when Jana looked at the innocent Ninia again, her expression was already a lot more respectful.
Fortunately, he was not arrogant enough to fight her, otherwise he would not have ended well no matter whether he won or lost.
In short, after the first exchange, Jana's impression of Ninia has changed a lot, this girl is lucky and has some strength, but whether the ability to command the battle is strong or not is still unknown.
During the day, it was time to prepare war supplies, and the men and horses received a full set of equipment, including personal combat clothing, horse clothing, guns, sabers, ammunition, supplies, medicines, and adjustable carrying equipment.
The carrying gear was sent by Ninia this time, and each of the sisters who participated in the battle had a set, and it was like a tailor-made one, and everyone wore it perfectly.
For this level of measurement, it is enough for the lord to pass by and take a look.
The lord taught Ninia how to set up the equipment and place the objects, and she patiently explained to the centaurs, and it was then that Cana realized that Ninia seemed to have worked hard to learn the language of the centaurs, and was able to speak and understand some everyday words in simple terms.
Maybe it won't be too long, and even without Shif, she can have a simple communication with the members of Chinan.
I don't know if I don't try, and I'm shocked when I try.
In addition to the powerful guns and weapons, the effect of carrying equipment is also surprisingly good, and the centaurs are full of praise for it, and they deeply feel that the craftsmanship of the demon lord is extraordinary.
The delicate and close-fitting carrying gear is not only exquisitely made, but also exquisite and practical, each piece is tailor-made for the body structure of the centaurs, and all the bits and pieces can be placed neatly and neatly, and it looks pleasing to the eye from the outside.
The outfit is made of leather goods and sturdy coarse cloth, with a comfortable padding underneath to ensure that even if the men and horses carry all the military supplies, they will not tire everyone on long marches.
Some people and horses couldn't wait to load their belongings and start running, and they were pleasantly surprised to find that after stuffing the supplies as required, although there were a lot of items piled up on their bodies, they took into account the symmetry of the left and right weights in advance, and a large number of items did not shake during the run, which would not bring any trouble to the march.
In the past, it was thought that the craftsmen of the various tribes of Skava were already skilled in their craft, but now it seems that in front of Lord Vincent, they are nothing more than a group of untrained apprentices.
What's even more exaggerated is that Ninia also showed the effect, and the centaurs were pleasantly surprised to find that the equipment was waterproof, not afraid of rain, not afraid of short wading.
All items can be sorted so that the contents are not only well preserved, but also quickly found.
There is also a beautiful metal nameplate on each set, on which in addition to the names of the centaurs, is also engraved with a beautiful "Chinan" badge, so that every sister can't put it down, and they don't want to put it down after putting it on.
With this set of ingenious equipment, Cana and her sisters were once again moved by the sincerity of the lord.
There is absolutely no such good thing on the grassland, and even if there is, they can't afford to make it, and no one will be willing to give it generously.
Also, Vincent
Armor is also provided, especially according to the size of the men and horses, which are transported by vehicles during the march and do not affect the light march, which can be worn in the field and provide a higher level of protection.
"What is this? So light, so thin?" Cana picked up a piece of breastplate and placed it in front of her, "Looks like she needs to wrap her chest before she can put it on."
"This is a black technology developed by the lord, and it has unimaginable protective power." Ninia looked at Cana's proud upper body, then at herself, and explained helplessly, "You can experiment with weapons."
So, the centaur wives noisily fastened a few pieces of armor to the wooden target and fired bows and arrows from a distance.
"Don't you shoot with a gun?" Ninia suggested to Jana, "This standard of protection was originally prepared to defend against carrying weapons."
"That's an exaggeration." Cana stretched out her arms and pulled out the bow and arrow, which she hadn't used in a month, feeling the familiar resistance, and happily replied, "The bow and arrow are also strong, and they are cheap."
Ninia opened her mouth, and when she saw that she was so determined, it seemed that she was still a little demonstrative, so she closed her mouth.
The hard recurve bow with a weight of five hundred pounds was easily pulled away, and Jana suddenly remembered that the exquisite compound bow in Schiff's hand, although the strength was not as great as his own bow and arrow, but it was better than being small, portable and good-looking.
It doesn't matter, the Skava people are pretentious guys, and when they make a great contribution to the lord, they have to be cheeky to play with it, and the pounds will be greater......
In order to let Ninia understand her strength, Cana also deliberately aimed at the wooden target without armor, and the arrow not only hit, but also wedged deeply into the wooden stake a hundred meters away, which can be called a hundred steps through the poplar.
The second arrow hit the nail without any suspense, and the expected nailing did not happen, and the onlookers saw that the arrow paused suddenly, and then lowered its tail weakly, and fell to the ground silently.
Jana's arrows are all of increased size and weight, and they have never missed the target when shooting arrows before, and such a thin armor is not impossible to penetrate under normal circumstances.
The onlookers rushed over, picked up the arrows, and watched the armor pieces, the outer layers of fabric between them had been torn apart, revealing several layers of dark and light material woven together.
Jana's arrow left only a shallow wedge-shaped pit in the top, and in the shallow pit it seemed to be visible white threads buried underneath.
It turns out that the contents are not a single layer, but multiple layers of material are superimposed and then lined up, although it is light and thin, but the black substance of the inner core gives people a cold and uncomfortable feeling.
A quick-handed centaur warrior bent hard a few times, and found that although the armor could be slightly bent, it had great tenacity, unlike other things that either broke or deformed.
Fortunately, some people took out the cavalry knife and slashed it with all their strength, shaking the stake, but the inner layer of the armor on it also left an inconspicuous mark.
What's even more exaggerated is that this thing can't even stab the tip of a knife, and it can be said that no matter how hard you stand still, you can't break through the armorer's defense.
"What is this?" Jana, who couldn't figure it out after watching it for a long time, had to turn around and ask Ninia, "It looks like a strange piece of wood, and silk, not steel, but also has such a strong defense."
Thankfully, Ninia didn't plan to keep it a secret, but the answers she gave were also incomprehensible to the centaurs.
"This is a composite armor made by the lord, and the black material on the outer layer is said to be a plant that is a specialty of the Demon Domain, because of its strength and fast growth, it is often used as a load-bearing building material in the Demon Domain, and the owner seems to call it "Black Bamboo"."
"The bamboo pieces of multi-layered black bamboo are woven together, and the spider silk of the giant demon spider is used as the inner lining below, although this spider silk is light and thin, the owner calls it "Kevlar", but it is extremely difficult to weave, its toughness is more than several times that of steel, but the weight of black bamboo is only one-fifth of the same thickness of iron armor."
"That's amazing...... Cana was stunned when she heard the incredible speed, "Wouldn't you not be hurt at all if you charge in such armor?"
"The materials are all sent by the Demon Domain, and the quantity is limited, so you can't equip them in large quantities," Ninia said with difficulty, and then warned everyone, "Although the black bamboo and magic silk have been detoxified to a certain extent, they still have the power of the curse, so the master especially emphasizes that they are only allowed to be worn during combat, and try not to touch them directly in normal times."
"Even so, it's too invincible." Schiff said enviously, "If you put on full-body armor and can be fearless of arrows and guns, then our knights will be invincible."
"This is the territory's secret equipment, and it is absolutely not allowed to leak out." Ninia warned, "This thing is also defective, so use it with care."
The centaurs all showed extremely excited expressions, their mobility and impact power were already few opponents, coupled with the strong armor that did not consume physical strength, they were absolutely confident that they would walk sideways in the territory.
Only Jana had a burst of doubts in her heart, was such a good thing really willing to be used by their group of victims?
Is there any ulterior secret behind this?
