Lushan brought Kanda to a workbench where there were two sets of armor, both made of steel.

"Look, this is the armor on the left that I had someone buy from Xifeng. It's said that a down-and-out noble sold the armor left behind by his ancestors for money. I later asked someone knowledgeable to look at it, and it's indeed the real thing. That brat will regret this later. This high-quality armor shows that his ancestor must have been a viscount."

Then his sturdy hands flipped open the top half of the armor, revealing a brass shield-shaped emblem.

"The emblem depicts a flaming hill, indicating that its owner was a veteran of the Battle of Tempering Fire and had performed significant service. It's likely that after the founding of the West Wind Kingdom, he was granted at least the title of Viscount. After all, the King of West Wind at the time was quite generous to his subordinates."

"Then on the right is the new armor we created according to the drawings Your Highness provided. The amount of steel used and the weight are basically the same as the West Wind Armor on the left."

Kanda looked at Lushan with some confusion, and Lushan continued.

"We tested the strength of the two, and guess what?"

"That must be the strength given by His Highness."

"Yes, how much stronger is it?"

"Three times?" Kanda overestimated it slightly.

"No, it's ten times!"

Lushan laughed heartily, then picked up the giant hammer beside him and struck him twice, denting the left side of the armor and piercing several holes with the hammer's protruding corners. The white steel armor on the right, however, bounced slightly, emitting a metallic tremor, but remained intact.

[White Steel Armor] (Rare Silver): This plate armor has been further improved through advanced technology. It has excellent toughness and strength, can disperse impact force, greatly reducing damage, and can be manufactured on a large scale, with a very high cost-effectiveness.

This was a modified version based on Mercury Dynasty technology after Loran Hill obtained the blueprints. It might not be very powerful, but the cheap materials and the ease of production allowed every member of the Legion to wear it and provide good protection. After all, every life was precious, and keeping everyone alive was her primary priority.
