Chapter 378 Sword Armor

The entire forging hammer has a large space, and pieces of iron ingots are burned red, and then they are sent under the forging hammer with iron pliers. After several gravity forgings, they become an iron plate.

Then, the iron plate is divided into iron bars. The iron bars are forged by a small forging hammer and slowly become a slender sword body. Then, after quenching, grinding, and then passivation through pickling, finally opening the edge and installing the hilt of the sword, it becomes a one-handed long sword.

In front of each iron plate, there was a big man with a very thick leather apron on his chest moving these iron pieces. Everyone was sweating profusely and his muscles were very tangled.

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

Similarly, some iron ingots are forged into iron plates, and then bent in curved arcs by a small hammer, and become a breastplate. The entire front is formed in one piece, with no gaps and is very strong.

However, this type of breastplate can only protect the front chest and the back is not protected. It can be equipped with leather at that time. Although the defense behind it is weaker, the chest is formed in one piece and forged and sturdy, and its defense is far better than ordinary armor. Even ordinary knight armor may not be able to match the defense on the chest.

All the equipment created is finally pickled and passivated on the surface to form a protective layer to avoid rust and facilitate maintenance.

After all, Bulong is a knight and has an instinctive love for weapons. When he saw these forged long sword armor, he couldn't help but feel a little confused and couldn't even care about the complaints he had just given to Jiayi.

When he came to his senses, he saw that Kaichi and Eunice were looking at him, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Jiayi signaled Bulong to come forward and get a set of just-made sword armor, and asked in a show-off tone: "Look, look at how the armor and the sword are. I am going to select a group of guards from the Chamber of Commerce, and all of them are armed with this."

"All..." Bulong gently stroked the sword blade with his hand, feeling the sharpness of the sword. The swords had been blunted after being pickled and looked dull and dull, but the sword blade had sharpened out, flashing with cold light.

He couldn't help but imagine a whole army of fully armed guards wearing armor and holding long swords. In his impression, except for the imperial guard-level army, there was no such well-equipped team.

Bu Long picked up the long sword and stabbed it at the door next to him with a sword. He heard a "puff" sound, and the wooden door was pierced through. He slashed the armor in front of him again, leaving only a white mark, not even a third of which passed through.

Although he did not use knight-level power, his defense is already very strong for ordinary guards. But he has some regrets. These armors are only in front, not on the back, and their limbs are also exposed, so they can only be equipped with leather, and their defense is much weaker.

However, if the back is made of integrated iron plates as before, the user's flexibility will be greatly affected. Just by clamping two iron plates, it is like a back on the back.

Bu Long took out his sword and tried the armor again, and found that it was almost the same as the long sword in his hand. However, the one he had was a fine weapon created by the blacksmith master, and each price was more than 10 gold coins. However, the newly made sword armor in front of him, even the breastplate that used the most materials, would not cost more than 1 gold coins.

In fact, a good pair of armor on the market is at least 10 times the price of weapons. Unless it is a magic weapon, the price gap between the two will narrow.

"Do you really have to use all these equipment to arm a small team?" Bulong was still a little unbelievable.

"Of course." Jia nodded, "You see, at this speed, we can produce hundreds of long swords and armor in less than half a month. It's no problem to arm a small team. At that time, I'll see who dares to brush the tiger's beard."

Although the forging of armor and weapons here can keep up with the speed, Jiayi cannot change all the guards of the entire chamber of commerce, as it is not in line with reality. There is a fully armed guard in the imperial capital, and even with Fog as a guarantee, it seems a little abrupt. It can also give ordinary guards below a way to advance and give them motivation to work hard.

Jiayi continued: "I will give you a few more magic weapons in a few days. You can assign them to Eunice. In this way, even if we have a little less staff, at least our overall combat effectiveness will not be worse than that of ordinary old-fashioned chambers of states."

These old chambers of commerce also hire mages, but their level is not very high, and they rarely stay forever. Valoca can hire many mages, mainly because Orlando is here to save face.

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

Hearing this, Bulong's initial resentment gradually faded. It turned out that Jiayi and the others came to improve the combat effectiveness of the Chamber of Commerce's guards.

However, he was still a little worried: "What should I do if the rumors in Memphirebo are there? It has already affected the reputation of our chamber of commerce."

This impression of being weak and bullied must not be left behind. Otherwise, when you cooperate with other chambers of trade, the other party will easily speak out.

Especially several old chambers of commerce in the imperial capital have long been coveting the profits of the chamber of commerce. Two years ago, they used raw materials to suppress Valoca. If they saw the opportunity, they would definitely not be able to help but suppress their own chamber of commerce again.

Kaichi seemed confident: "Now the message is coming, how is the Forest Wolf Mercenary Group you are investigating?"

Bron quickly replied: "The Wolf of the Forest is indeed involved in this incident. They have queued up people to follow the restaurant. After President Fog came, they did not give up. They just changed to a group of people who seemed to be unrelated to follow it. However, they tried the spitting agent left by the mage and they all explained it."

When he heard Bulong say he vomiting real medicine, Jiayi felt his throat itchy. This thing was actually more like a prank by him.

“Is there anything else?”

Bulong whispered: "The deputy commander of the Forest Wolf was once a ruined nobleman in the Stone City, but now he has no more than a lord. There may be some relationship between him and Ye Xiao, but it is just speculation and there is no evidence."

And they are actually not sure whether the night attack chamber of commerce was led by Ye Owl. They are just inferring now that there is no definite evidence.

"Then how is this forest wolf's reputation?" Jia Yi asked a seemingly irrelevant sentence.

Bulong also held the sword armor in his hand and said, "This is similar to the people who are in the tour guide. He is domineering and arrogant. He is said to have had experiences attacking his peers, and even I have heard of this. However, our chamber of commerce rarely hires mercenary groups, so everyone has contacted them, and there are no rumors that they have taken action against large chambers of commerce."

Hearing this, Jia nodded and said, "That's enough. It's this forest wolf. Let's meet each other. We'll know if they're using it."

"But we have no evidence. It is said that the other party is related to several great nobles, and it is said that he has something to do with Viscount Maceli. He is the son of the Imperial Minister of Finance. Will there be any problem in taking action rashly?"

"It's not that you want to treat the other party like this. Just go and see. Even if there is any problem, just treat it as a way to eliminate harm for the people. Please pay attention to protecting yourself. This mercenary group has a large number, so don't have any casualties. As for the nobles behind him, President Fog will support me."

Bron is still a little worried. Is the relationship between his own chamber of commerce and President Fogge so good?

But Eunice felt relieved. She knew that Jiayi's teacher was already a purple robe mage, and even the emperor had to take it seriously when he arrived in the empire.
