Banner of the Evil God

"Emergency assembly!"

Gerald, who had become an ordinary bald strong man again, did not wear armor today, and did not even bring weapons. But he naturally exuded the awe-inspiring aura of a strong man, which made people dare not underestimate him.

At his level, armor and weapons are just accessories. The power of a strong man is the best proof of his identity, which is enough to maintain his dignity.

For example, at this moment, with his loud shout, the barracks in the night suddenly became noisy. The soldiers of the Knights got up in a hurry, put on armor, took weapons, and hurried to the big square in the center of the camp.

And at Gerald's feet, a special incense stick was burning quickly. It burned fast and steadily. Looking at the scale marks on it, it was obviously a tool for timing.

Although there are clocks and watches in this world, the leader of the Void Masked Knights, Gerald, likes to use this old-fashioned incense stick to calculate time-during emergency assemblies.

His standard was simple. Those who arrived at the square wearing armor and holding weapons before the incense was half burned were considered excellent, those who arrived before the incense was three-quarters burned were considered good, and those who arrived before the incense was finished burned were considered qualified.

As for those who arrived after the incense was finished burning... hehe, hehe...

After years of training, the knights were already quite elite. Even though it took some time to put on armor, most of them still arrived at the square before the incense was three-quarters burned. In the end, only two failed to pass.

Looking at the two guys who were late with sad faces, Gerard showed a somewhat hideous smile on his face and asked lightly: "Cleaning the toilet or confinement, choose it yourself."

The two unlucky guys who were just a little bit short of passing looked at each other and sighed and chose the former.

Cleaning the toilet is indeed dirty, smelly and embarrassing, but it is better than confinement!

Traditional military camps are keen on using corporal punishment. But the Void Knights are not like this. Although there are many ways to punish, none of them will hurt people's bones - except for being escorted to court for crimes. They usually use two methods of punishment: cleaning the toilet or confinement.

Needless to say, the former, although the Knights' camp is well built, even if the toilet is not particularly dirty and messy, where in the world is there a toilet that is not dirty and smelly? Not to mention how embarrassing this job is, if you are punished once, you will be laughed at by your colleagues for a long time.

But the latter is even more terrifying. The confinement room is specially made, and the sound is isolated inside. Only a small lamp on the roof emits light. And because of the effect of the magic circle, no matter how hard you try, you can't touch the wall and the roof. It's like an ant standing in the vast world, alone and helpless. Even a daring person will be terrified after being locked up in it for a few days, and he doesn't want to go in again in this life.

The origins of the members of the Knights are very complicated, and there are quite a few senior adventurers among them. These brave men who love to fight and fight can ignore fighting and injuries, and don't care about being beaten and starving, but even the most rebellious ones are frightened after being locked up once, and would rather clean the toilet than be locked up.

After announcing the punishment for the backward elements, Gerard's eyes swept over the soldiers who were neatly arranged in fourteen rows.

The eight rows standing in the front are heavy soldiers, wearing special "void full body armor", which is armor made as a whole using special means, and the manufacturing method is a secret. Its main parts are large pieces of fine steel, which is completely different from ordinary armor.

The traditional armor in this world is divided into three categories: leather armor, inlaid armor and chain mail.

Leather armor is armor made of thick leather treated with fireproof potion. It is light and durable, and has a certain degree of defense. The key is that the price is relatively cheap, so it is the favorite of primary adventurers, and ordinary army soldiers often use this armor.

Of course, there are also high-end leather armors. For example, leather armor made of some special beast leather is a rare top-grade product. It is not only light, but also extremely strong and has strong magic defense. However, the price is also amazing. Even high-level adventurers may not be able to own it.

Inlaid armor is commonly used by senior adventurers and elite troops. Its main body is still leather armor, but it is inlaid with many metal pieces, which greatly improves the protection.

This kind of armor is rich in content, with ever-changing styles and types, and the price and defense are also uneven. The best of them will inlay a complete layer of metal pieces on the leather armor piece by piece. This certainly greatly improves the defense, but the weight will also increase a lot. Except for particularly strong heroes, few people can wear that kind of "heavy inlaid armor" to fight.

Chainmail is the rarest armor. It is based on a soft armor woven with countless small iron rings. Some use it directly, some put hard leather on the outside to avoid attracting attention, and some stack armor pieces on the outside of the soft armor to form a thick double-layer armor.

The armor with only the inner soft armor is called "chainmail", and the armor with metal plates on the outside is called "chainmail". In the past, chainmail was the strongest among ordinary armors. Especially those with heavy large armor plates, the defense is strong enough to withstand attacks from multiple weapons. Apart from being bulky and expensive, it has no other disadvantages.

But the Void Full Body Armor is completely different from them. It also has an inner layer of chain mail, but the inner and outer layers of armor do not interfere with each other. There is also a special soft leather jacket in the middle, forming a triple protection inside and outside, greatly improving the defense. The outer layer of armor is not only strong because it uses the integral molding technology, but also surprisingly flexible when worn on the body, and does not hinder movement at all.

Someone once tried to run, jump, dance, and even do somersaults while wearing a full set of Void Full Body Armor - of course, somersaults and side flips, and group flips are definitely not allowed.

The soft leather jacket inside this armor also has another mechanism. It has several hooks. When wearing it, just hook the hooks with the outer armor. After wearing it, the weight of the armor will be evenly distributed to several parts of the body, greatly reducing the burden on the body.

The heavy-armored warriors of the Void Kamen Knights can even run long distances in such armor!

If enchantment is not considered, this kind of armor is undoubtedly the pinnacle of ordinary so-called "refined armor", and no other armor can be compared with it.

And the inventor of this new type of armor is Sui Xiong.

Before crossing over, Sui Xiong studied and copied a lot of European armor when he was designing games. As a painter who graduated from a formal school, he would not learn from some gunmen who came out of some inferior crash courses and just paint and paint to make an armor. Every character wearing armor he painted has a historical prototype. It was also because of that job that he knew a lot about the famous knights' full body armor in history, and he could even draw a relatively simple structural diagram.

After the Void Mask Playground stabilized, he saw that the soldiers wearing heavy chain mail were slow to move during the training of the Knights, so he drew the knights' full body armor patterns in his memory one by one, and compared them with the patterns, and used magic to shape them directly.

However, these armors were not as easy to use as he imagined, and they were as cumbersome to wear. He studied them for a long time, but still could not figure out why, so he had to ask Morani for help.

As the saying goes, every profession has its own specialty. Morani is worthy of being the orcs' god of forging. He only took a few days to study what was wrong with the knight's full body armor made by Sui Xiong, and then improved it to become the current void full body armor.

In fact, it was Sui Xiong's own fault for not learning well. His understanding of the knight's full body armor was nothing more than the shape of the armor plate and the general decomposition structure. Of course, these data were correct. Even the armor improved by Morani was based on this, but he did not really understand the internal structure of the knight's full body armor. He did not know what kind of lining this kind of armor had under its bright appearance.

This was natural. As a painter, he did not need to understand those things, and he would not collect those materials at all. It was enough for him to know the external structure of the armor.

Finally, the designed Void Full Body Armor received high praise from Morani. The forging expert said that the appearance of this kind of armor can be said to be a bold stroke in the history of world armor and will definitely be recorded in history.

"From now on, high-level refined armor will enter the era of full body armor!" Finally, He asserted.

Sui Xiong was not very interested in being recorded in history. As an immortal super jellyfish, he himself was history. But he was very happy that the armor he designed was successful, and then he wanted to promote them.

But at this time, he encountered a big problem.

The armor plates of the full body armor were extremely difficult to forge. A senior old blacksmith spent a month, and in the end he could only make a few pieces of inferior goods that did not meet the requirements. The only feasible way to make this kind of armor is for a mid-level or even higher-level magician to use the power of magic to directly shape the steel.

In this case, production efficiency is very problematic.

Sui Xiong tried to recall, and remembered that he seemed to have seen a statement on the Internet that such armor should be made by using a stamping machine to form steel plates in one go. So he wanted to try to make a stamping machine and a steel plate. The latter was not difficult to make and was completed quickly, but the former... Even if he was very patient, he finally gave up after failing dozens of times without a clue.

It is said that when Edison improved the electric light, he failed more than a thousand times in one breath in order to choose the right filament. At that time, someone comforted him, but he said, "I didn't fail more than a thousand times, but successfully proved that more than a thousand materials are not suitable." The truth of this story is another matter, but there is no doubt that Brother Xiong does not have such a big heart.

In the end, this kind of void full body armor can only be produced by mages, and it has become an undoubted high-end product.
