Having suffered repeated setbacks, the prince of Chechi Kingdom was now completely on the verge of collapse.

After all, in every aspect, Chechi Kingdom could not compare with Zhu Yunwen's Ming Dynasty, which made him somewhat frustrated.

He still had a trump card: the weapons of the Chechi Kingdom. He reasoned that since these were ordinary things...

If we cannot surpass the Ming Dynasty, then we must be able to in the area of ​​weaponry.

In fact, exchanges between countries initially involve cooperation, and it's perfectly normal for them to later flex their muscles, showcase their weapons and the strength of their respective militaries.

After all, such a gathering can make other countries realize how powerful their own country is, which is also a form of deterrence.

So when the prince of Chechi Kingdom was no match for Zhu Yunwen and the Ming Dynasty in any way, he changed the subject and got to the main point: to show the weapons of each country.

Moreover, the prince of Chechi Kingdom is preparing to be the grand finale.

He naturally didn't want to be the first to present. That would eliminate any point of comparison.

At this moment, the King of Baoxiang Kingdom, as the host, also spoke:

"Since the prince of Chechi Kingdom wants all countries to showcase their more advanced weapons, I am also very curious about just how big the gap is between the weapons of different countries nowadays?"

However, although some weapons are indeed very powerful, I believe that the strength of a country mainly depends on its army.

No matter how powerful a weapon is, it's ultimately meant to be used. And how powerful can it really be?

Upon hearing this, the princes of Chechi Kingdom laughed, thinking to themselves, "You know absolutely nothing about powerful weapons."

And the King of Baoxiang Kingdom said this because he was indeed completely ignorant about powerful weapons.

He also had no idea how powerful some weapons had become.

So he simply thought of weapons as just tools. In his view, fighting a war required a large number of soldiers, and those soldiers had to be highly capable; otherwise, nothing else mattered.

At this point, princes from other countries also spoke up, expressing their different opinions.

In short, some people think that weapons are very important, while others believe that the soldiers themselves are the most direct factor in combat.

Amidst this debate, the prince of Chechi Kingdom simply sneered and said:

"I don't think there's any need to argue. Since everyone has different opinions, why not just display the weapons of each country directly? Why waste words? Let the facts speak for themselves; that's much more useful."

When they heard him say that, everyone nodded in agreement, thinking it made sense.

So the King of Baoxiang Kingdom said that their country should be the first to display its weapons.

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and ten soldiers quickly entered from outside the hall. These ten soldiers were all very strong and muscular, and they were wearing very fine armor.

They were clearly elite soldiers from Baoxiang Kingdom, and more importantly, they were all equipped with various kinds of weapons.

He carried a quiver of arrows on his back, a powerful bow slung across his shoulder, two daggers and some ropes at his waist, and held a spear in his hand. He also held a long knife in his right hand.

Such a configuration would definitely be considered high-end for soldiers in ancient times.

After all, they had all sorts of combat tools at their disposal. The armor was also incredibly cool, and the soldiers were very tall.

Such a soldier must have very strong combat power. If there were more soldiers, forming an army, and the entire army was armed to this extent, what would happen?

Compared to another army of the same size but with insufficient equipment, this well-equipped army has an absolute advantage.

Upon seeing the armor and weapons worn by the soldier, the princes and princesses from various countries realized that everything King Baoxiang had said earlier was just humility, a deliberate attempt to impress his soldiers.

He had previously kept saying that weapons weren't the most important thing, but the soldiers who came up to demonstrate were carrying all sorts of weapons and were fully equipped.

I have to say, he's really good at putting on an act.

From the smug look on the King of Baoxiang's face, it was clear that he was very satisfied, and this effect was exactly what he had expected.

"These are the equipment of some ordinary soldiers that I have seen before. This equipment is also very common."

At this moment, many princes and princesses rolled their eyes, thinking that the King of Baoxiang Kingdom was really good at showing off.

They're armed to this extent, yet they still pretend to say that weapons aren't important, and even say that these are just ordinary soldiers.

Is this just an ordinary soldier?

Even the prince of Chechi Kingdom snorted.

However, he was not in a hurry at all, because although the soldier from Baoxiang Kingdom was fully armed and had a complete set of weapons, they were still far inferior to the weapons of Chechi Kingdom.

This gave him even more confidence, as he believed he could gain a significant advantage in the weapons market.

After the Kingdom of Baoxiang finished its presentation, the prince of the Kingdom of Zhu Zi also smiled and said:

"Then let everyone see the weapons and equipment of my Zhu Zi Kingdom."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and then several soldiers walked up into the main hall.

The soldiers were also wearing armor, but their armor was somewhat special because it had spikes on it.

This soldier looks like a hedgehog; if he were to fight the enemy, the enemy would certainly have a headache.

At least when they get close, they'll be somewhat cautious. Because if these soldiers, clad in armor that resembles a hedgehog, were to charge at the enemy, how would the enemy possibly react?

If you were to touch the enemy, wouldn't you poke several holes in them?

The key point is that the soldier wearing hedgehog armor was also carrying a spiked mace.

The power of this spiked club should not be underestimated, so when such a set of armor, which combines protection and attack, appeared in front of everyone, the prince of Chechi Kingdom looked rather grim.

He thought to himself that this armor was indeed difficult to deal with, but after thinking about it carefully for a while, he revealed a cold smile.

He felt that his two weapons from Chechi Kingdom could still deal with this hedgehog outfit.

So I smiled again, relieved.

After the prince of Zhu Zi Kingdom had his soldiers demonstrate, other countries also took to the stage.

Although the weapons and equipment were not particularly impressive, they were still quite eye-catching and seemed somewhat useful.

Everyone fell silent when the princess of the Women's Kingdom waved her hand and several female soldiers dressed in clothes that didn't quite resemble armor stepped forward.

The reason why the soldiers of the Women's Kingdom were said to be wearing clothes that did not resemble armor was because they were wearing ordinary soldiers' clothes that were relatively tight-fitting.

The only difference was that there was an extra piece of metal on his chest for protection.

Apart from that, there wasn't much other protective equipment available.

Therefore, the so-called armor worn by these female soldiers of the Kingdom of Women appears very simple, even rudimentary.
