Chapter 645: Everything is Unspoken

After saying goodbye to Zhou Xu, Bai Tu hurried back to his own camp, summoned all the soldiers and announced the matter.

All of a sudden, all the soldiers couldn't help cheering, which attracted the attention of the Da Zhou soldiers who were maintaining their equipment in the next camp. They were a little curious about what happened over there and what had happened to those guys. As the parties involved, they didn't care about it, and continued to cheer loudly, venting the uncontrollable joy in their hearts.

For them, this matter is not just as simple as upgrading weapons and equipment, but more of a recognition! Before this, they were born in Weiguo, and they were in the military camp of Dazhou, wearing the equipment of Chinese soldiers. What do you think this is? In the previous battle to defend the city, in order to avoid being accidentally injured by friendly forces, they had to tie a piece of white cloth on their arms to distinguish them.

But now it’s different. Once this batch of equipment is delivered, they will put on the scale armor. No words are needed. When others see them, they will know they are soldiers of the Great Zhou!

After a round of cheers, Bai Tu quickly organized his soldiers to go to the armory to collect equipment.

This is considered an important matter, and Shi Lei is personally responsible for it.

After waiting for all the soldiers led by Bai Tu to gather together, Shi Lei waved his hand.

"Everyone gathered around, those in the front row sat on the ground, and those in the back row stood, making sure everyone could see me and hear what I said clearly."

After receiving the order, the soldiers did as they were told without hesitation, and their movements were very efficient.

After everyone was in place, he took out a set of weapons and equipment that he had prepared long ago and began to speak.

"Considering that this is the first time for you to be equipped with our Great Zhou's weapons and equipment, I will first explain it here."

As he spoke, Shi Lei pointed to the set of scale armor on the dummy beside him and started talking.

"The standard armor for our Great Zhou soldiers is the set of scale armor you see in front of you. The entire set of armor is made up of forged and polished iron scales connected in series. It has higher defense than wooden armor and leather armor, but relatively speaking, it is also heavier than the wooden armor you are wearing now."

Having said that, Shi Lei glanced at the surrounding soldiers.

After discovering that these soldiers had not yet realized the problem, Shi Lei smiled slightly.

"That is to say, starting from tomorrow, you will have to wear this set of scale armor for training. For those of you who have never worn scale armor before, tomorrow is equivalent to weight training. You'd better be mentally prepared in advance."

Having said this, even those who were slow to react understood, and their expressions changed.

My goodness, they really didn’t expect this.

After successfully keeping up with the training intensity of the Great Zhou soldiers, they all thought that there was not much gap between them and the Great Zhou soldiers. Now it seems that they were naive!

They really hadn't thought of this before.

Taking in the soldiers' expressions, Shi Lei laughed and picked up the crystal iron sword beside him.

"This is a crystal iron sword. Like the scale armor, it is also the standard weapon of our Great Zhou soldiers. But unlike ordinary weapons, this is an enchanted weapon forged from a special metal called 'crystal iron'. Does anyone here know anything about enchanted weapons?"

Faced with this question, there was silence at the scene. Apparently, no one knew what this 'enchanted weapon' was.

Seeing this, Shi Lei did not keep the person in suspense and directly revealed the answer.

"You can also think of it as a magical weapon. This crystal iron sword has a special power that can make it sharper and stronger!"

As Shi Lei spoke, he signaled to the soldier beside him to draw out another sword so that the surrounding soldiers could compare them.

"Of course, this power cannot be maintained forever. As the battle progresses, the power in the crystal iron sword will be consumed, but the enchanted power on it has the ability to recover automatically. After the power of the sword is exhausted, it will slowly recover after being left alone for a period of time."

"The one in my hand right now is a crystal iron sword that is in its best condition and full of power, while this one is an ordinary iron sword captured from the enemy. The difference between the two can be seen at a glance."

As he spoke, Shi Lei winked at the soldier.

The next second, they drew their swords at the same time, and the two swords collided directly with each other, followed by a crazy chopping match. During the fierce chopping, the ordinary iron sword could not bear the weight and broke into two pieces on the spot.

On the remaining half of the blade, the blade had become bumpy from the chopping.

On the other hand, although the edge of the crystal iron sword had dimmed a little, the entire blade was still sharp and intact, which made the surrounding soldiers look amazed.

At this moment, in their view, this crystal iron sword is simply a magical weapon! When they thought that they would soon have such a weapon, they were so excited that they couldn't control themselves.

After a brief introduction, these weapons and equipment were quickly distributed to Bai Tu and his men one by one, and their iron swords and wooden armor were recovered.

The soldiers were so excited about getting the new equipment that they couldn't wait until tomorrow for training. Basically, they put it on as soon as they got it.

Compared with wooden armor, this set of armor made of iron scales is really heavy, but it is also really handsome. The texture of the metal is incomparable to that of a mahjong mat. However, for the soldiers who had never worn iron scale armor before, the discomfort caused by this armor became more and more obvious as time went by.

"How about we take it off first?"

Hearing this, the soldier turned and looked towards the next camp.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

I saw that the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were wearing scale armor, but they seemed to be fine. I thought to myself, "These soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are really monsters. They have been wearing such iron armor all the time. Aren't they tired?"

The soldier retracted his gaze and looked at his comrade beside him.

"You take it off first."

"Why should I take it off first?"

"Aren't you tired?"

The moment he heard this, the soldier's expression suddenly straightened.

"Who said I was tired? I think it's you who is tired?"

"I'm not tired."

"Then I'm not tired either."

"I'm going to wear it straight until dinner."

"Oh, what's that? I'm going to wear it to sleep tonight!"

“…”

In just a few words, the men's damn competitive spirit was inexplicably aroused, and they really refused to back down even a step.

The next morning, the two people, who were both sore from backache, stared at each other in silence with dark circles under their eyes and bloodshot eyes. Everything was said without words...

An update is here. Thanks to book friends 'Shukaku Immortal' and 'Miwang Xiaoyingzi' for their rewards. I'm back. I have to keep watch every day, and my schedule is messed up again. It's really annoying.
