King’s Kingdom - Chapter 254
Moreover, if the number of dwarves can be increased, the output can be further improved. Besides, there is another advantage of armor, that is, as long as the armor of excellent quality is created, almost anyone can do the rest of the steps. Finish.
This thing is different from chain armor, which requires weaving and plate armor, which requires skilled craftsmanship. The tie armor is not only easy to repair, but also very convenient to assemble. At this stage, the output of dwarves can reach 1,000 sets of mithril every three months. Battle armor, if the tandem process is handed over to the rest of the blacksmiths and apprentices, the efficiency can definitely be improved a lot, but I don’t know how much.
In addition, Theodosius is also how this Mithril armor should be configured.
It’s just a simple layer of mithril armor. To be honest, Theodosius is not particularly at ease, because although the armor is stronger than the chain armor in preventing blunt weapons (in fact, it is not good except for the plate armor), but the defense The thorn performance is slightly worse.
Moreover, the biggest weakness of Zhajia is that some joints cannot be effectively protected, especially the armpits and knees and elbows. If they are covered, they cannot make combat actions.
Therefore, this is the reason why Theodosius has always equipped the soldiers with composite armor. It is really that the defensive area of the armor is not as good as that of the chain armor.
If Mithril tie armor is used instead of chain armor, the armpit joints and other parts will undoubtedly lose protection, and a layer of armed clothing obviously cannot provide enough defense.
However, if Zhajia continued to be retained, the purpose of reducing the burden on the soldiers would be completely aborted, and instead would increase. After all, Mithril was 10% heavier than ordinary steel.
In the end, Theodosius came up with a more sassy way…
That is to wear tie armor on the outside, protect the torso all the way to the ankles of the legs, protect the upper arm, and the gauntlet attached to the forearm.
Inside, the whole body chain armor was changed into a “sexy” navel-baring vest, and the sleeves of the chain armor were kept all the way to the forearm to protect the joints.
The bottom is wearing a pair of chain armor shorts, hanging down to the calf, so that each soldier can be reduced by seven or eight kilograms. Even if the weight of the mithril armor is added, the overall weight remains unchanged. For the soldiers of the Central Military Region, their load can be reduced a lot.
The torso is responsible for the large area of mithril armor with stronger defense ability, while the chain armor is responsible for vulnerable parts such as joints, which not only reduces the burden, but also nearly doubles the defense.
Of course, Theodosius wouldn’t let the soldiers of the Central Bureau have the same equipment as the soldiers of the other military districts, they had to wear mithril armor while wearing full-body chain armor.
This can more than double their defense, and the load will only increase by a few kilograms. This choice is undoubtedly very cost-effective, and they are able to bear such a weight under the system enhancement.
As for the iron-clad paladins, Theodosius intends to equip them with a full set of one-third of the fine gold armor. After all, they are a group of people with the strongest combat effectiveness. Enhancing their survivability is also equivalent to strengthening their combat effectiveness. It is more inclined to give up all defenses. Under attack, their lethality will be further significantly increased.
But all this has to wait. The current Lanyin Kingdom is not able to replace all of them with new equipment in a short period of time.
It is worth mentioning that Theodosius is now somewhat hesitant about the attitude of the Northern Empire.
He had already made plans to attack the Northern Empire before going north to fight the demons, but at that time it was because Tambadri’s army was not yet fully formed, the famine in the territory was also quite serious, and because of the fact that the Duke of Laran and the Second Skrillin were taken The death of the world was blamed on the Lanyin Kingdom, and there was a legitimate reason for the war, so he was ready to send troops.
But now according to the intelligence, the strength of Tambadri’s army has been greatly enhanced, and the method of screening out outstanding soldiers between life and death has taken effect. Now Tambadri alone has mastered more than 20,000 combat power. Pretty good soldier.
Counting the noble lords from all over the country, the regular army that the Northern Empire can use is about 50,000 people, which is twice that of the Lanyin Kingdom. people to fight.
Although he had a more reasonable reason for the war because of the Chen Bing frontier of the Northern Empire, he really had no idea whether he could win.
After all, the army of the Northern Empire is not a dark creature. There are 10,000 powerful species out of the 300,000 monsters outside the city of Ikopixi. They are overestimated, but the Northern Empire really has 50,000 regular troops.
Even though the combat effectiveness of these 50,000 regular soldiers is far inferior to that of powerful monsters, there are enough of them!
With these troops in his hand, Theodosius would have to weigh it up if he wanted to do something about the Northern Empire.
Whether or not to continue to use troops against the Northern Empire as decided before has become a big issue in the upper political circles of the Rhine Kingdom.
At this time, there were already some problems in New Lanyin City.
The previous New Lanyin City underwent a wave of purges when Theodosius entered the city. All the outlaws were liquidated, and those with serious circumstances were directly executed, while those with less serious circumstances were assigned to labor and voluntary labor in the city. .
Under this thunderous means, the law and order of New Lanyin City improved rapidly, becoming similar to the North Seven counties, with very few crimes.
But after Theodosius came back, he found that there were a lot more outsiders in the city than before he left, and there were at least 50% more caravan merchants than before he left, and it was only half a year later.
Although the arrival of these people has stimulated the commercial activities of New Lanyin City~www.mtlnovel.com~, the law and order has also declined a lot, petty thefts have occurred from time to time, and disputes and even physical conflicts have been caused by jealousy and business competition. Not uncommon.
This situation intensified with the arrival of the dwarves.
The favorite place for these big wine barrels is the tavern, and their personalities are relatively straightforward, and they have a bad temper when they are drunk. They are prone to conflicts with people, and fights are more frequent than before.
And what angered Theodosius was that just five days after he came back, three appalling murders occurred in the city of New Rhine, among which a dwarf was involved and became one of the dead.
“It seems that we have to pay attention again. These businessmen from other places have seriously disturbed the order of New Lanyin City! There are also our local businessmen, who also seem to have the intention of developing businessmen in other regions, and they must be strictly restricted. , at least in terms of moral standards, no regression is allowed!” Theodosius said to Count Leiningen.
Although these businessmen have no intention of developing in the direction of capitalists for the time being, they are really like black businessmen. Theodosius does not want them to harm his own people, and the illegal behavior of this group of people must be stopped.
