Chapter 378: Sword Armor

There is a lot of space between the hammers, and the iron ingots are burned red, and then they are sent under the hammer with iron tongs, and after several gravitational forging, they become an iron plate.

Then, the iron plate is split and becomes an iron bar, which is then forged by a small hammer to slowly turn into a slender sword body, and then, after quenching, grinding, and then through pickling and passivation, it finally opens and fits the hilt to become a one-handed long sword.

In front of each iron plate, there was a big man with a very heavy leather apron around his chest moving these iron blocks, everyone was sweating profusely, and the muscles on his body were also very knotty.

Each person is responsible for a node, and after it is done, it is passed on to the next person to form a complete assembly line, although it is manpower, but it also greatly improves efficiency.

In the same way, after some iron ingots are forged into iron plates, and then forged by a small hammer, they come out in a curved arc to become a cuirass, and the entire front is formed in one piece, without gaps, and it is very strong.

However, this kind of cuirass can only protect the front chest, the back is not protected, and it can be matched with leather when the time comes, although the back defense is weaker, but the chest is formed in one piece, forged and strong, and the defense is far better than the general armor, even if it is the general knight armor, the defense power in the chest may not be able to compare.

All of the resulting equipment is pickled and passivated on the surface to form a protective layer that avoids rust and facilitates maintenance.

After all, Bronn is a knight, and he has an instinctive love for blades, and when he sees these forged long swords and armor, he can't help but be a little distracted, and he can't even care about the complaint he just had about Jiayi.

When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw that Jiayi and Eunice were looking at him.

Jia Yi motioned for Bronn to step forward and bring a set of freshly made sword armor, and asked in a somewhat ostentatious tone, "Look at it, how about looking at the armor and long sword." I'm going to pick out a group of guards from the Chamber of Commerce, and all of them will be armed with this. ”

"All..."Bronn gently stroked the blades of the long swords with his hand, feeling the edge of the long swords, the surface of these long swords had been dulled after pickling, and they looked dull, but the blades had been sharpened and flashed with a cold glow.

He couldn't help but imagine a whole team of heavily armed guards in armor and carrying swords, and in his impression, there was no other army so well-equipped except for the Imperial Guard-level army.

Bron picked up the long sword and stabbed it at the door next to him, only to hear a "poof", and the wooden door was pierced like this. He slashed at the armor in front of him again, and with a "bang", only a white mark was left, and not even a third of it was passed.

Although he didn't use knight-level strength, this defense was already very strong for ordinary guards. It's just that he has some pity, these armors only have the front, the back is not there, the limbs are also bare, and they can only be matched with leather, and the defense is much weaker.

However, if the back is also made of one-piece iron plate like the front, then the user's flexibility will be greatly affected.

Bronn took out his sword again and tried it along with the armor, and found that it was almost the same as the long sword in his hand, but what he had in his hand was a high-quality blade created by a blacksmith master, and the price of each one was more than 10 gold coins, but the sword armor in front of him that had just been made, even the breastplate with the most materials, would not cost more than 1 gold coin.

In fact, the price of a good suit of armor on the market is at least 10 times that of a weapon, and the price gap between the two will only narrow unless it is a magic weapon.

"Are you really going to use all of this equipment to arm a squad?" Bronn still couldn't believe it.

"Of course. Jia nodded, "You see, at this rate, in less than half a month, we will be able to produce hundreds of sets of long swords and armor, and there will be no problem at all with an armed team, and when the time comes, I will see who else dares to whisk the tiger's beard." ”

Although the forging of armor weapons here can still keep up with the speed, it is impossible for Jia Yi to change all the guards of the entire Chamber of Commerce, that is not realistic, there is a fully armed guard in the imperial capital, even if there is Fuge as a guarantee, it seems a little abrupt. And it can also give the ordinary guards below a way to be promoted, giving them a motivation to work hard.

Jia Yi continued: "In a few days, I will equip you with a few more magic weapons, and when the time comes, you will assign them to Younice, so that even if we have a little less manpower, at least the comprehensive combat effectiveness will not be worse than that of ordinary veteran chambers of commerce." ”

These old chambers of commerce will also hire mages, but the level will not be very high, and they will rarely be permanent, Valoka can hire a lot of mages, mainly Orlando's face is here.

In fact, the city is relatively safe, and the force is more of a deterrent.

Hearing this, Bron's original resentment gradually dissipated, it turned out that Jiayi and they came to improve the combat effectiveness of the Chamber of Commerce's guards.

However, he was still a little worried: "What about the rumors on the side of Memphelbo? ”

This impression of weakness and deception must not be left behind, otherwise when there is cooperation with the rest of the chambers of commerce in the future, the other party will be easy to open his mouth.

In particular, several old chambers of commerce in the imperial capital have long coveted the profits of the chamber of commerce, and the year before last, they also used raw materials to press Valoka once, if they see an opportunity, they will definitely can't help but press their own chamber of commerce again.

Jia Yi seemed confident: "Now that the message is flooding, how is the Forest Wolf mercenary group you investigated?"

Bronn hurriedly replied: "The wolf of the forest is indeed involved in this incident, they once lined up people to come to the restaurant to keep an eye on it, and after President Fogg came, they didn't give up, but they just changed a group of seemingly irrelevant people to watch, but they all confessed when they tried the truth elixir left by the mage." ”

Hearing Bron's words about spitting out the elixir, Kaichi felt his throat itch a little, this thing was actually more like a prank on his part.

"Anything else?"

Bronn whispered: "The deputy head of the Forest Wolf used to be a broken nobleman in Gravel City, but now he doesn't even have a knighthood, there may be some relationship between him and the night stalker, but it's just speculation, there is no evidence." ”

And they are actually not sure whether the night attack on the Chamber of Commerce is led by the night owls, and they are only inferring now, and there is no definite evidence at all.

"And what about the reputation of this forest wolf?" asked Kaichi in a seemingly unrelated sentence.

Bron still held the sword armor in his hand, and said, "This is similar to what the forest ranger said, he acts domineeringly, has a brutal style, and is said to have had the experience of attacking his peers, which even I have heard. It's just that our chamber of commerce rarely hires mercenary groups, so everyone can't get in touch with it, and they don't have any rumors of doing anything to a large chamber of commerce. ”

Hearing this, Jia nodded and said, "That's enough, it's this wolf of the forest, let's go and meet each other, whether it's their hand or not, just know if it's a beating." ”

"However, we have no evidence, it is said that the other party is related to several big nobles, and it is said that he has some relationship with Viscount Marcelli Jr., he is the son of the Imperial Finance Minister, will there be a problem with such a rash move?"

"It's not about what the other person is doing, it's just about going to see. Even if something goes wrong, it should be regarded as a harm to the people, you should pay attention to protect yourself, this mercenary group has a large number of people, just don't have casualties yourself. As for the nobles behind him, President Fogg will stand up for me. ”

Bronn was still a little worried, whether the relationship between his chamber of commerce and President Fogg was so good.

But Eunice put her mind at ease, she knew that Jia Yi's teacher was already a purple-robed mage, and even His Majesty the Emperor had to be treated solemnly in the empire.

In this way, Jiayi's background is higher than that of Viscount Marcellly, although the other party has the name of a viscount, he is not an important minister of the empire, but he just relies on the shadow of his father.
