The shield and spear are very common in style, but the materials used to make them have all been replaced with black ironwood, so Ronin does not need too much introduction.

His focus is on the Ironwood Breastplate and Ironwood Armor.

"The Ironwood Chestguard is made of multiple layers of compacted linen wrapped around repaired black ironwood. It is light and easy to wear. With the dual protection of black ironwood and multiple layers of linen, it can defend against long swords and arrows that are slashed at the chest."

"The ironwood armor is made by processing black iron trees into rectangular armor plates, which are then strung together with fine leather strips to form a tight structure."

As Roning spoke, he took the iron armor from McKen and shook it. The armor pieces collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

"This type of armor is stacked horizontally and vertically, making it difficult for enemy weapons to penetrate. It can protect against both slashing and piercing by arrows and spears. Moreover, even if a few of the assembled ropes are cut, it will not affect the structure of the armor at all."

He handed the Timuzha armor back to Mikan and said to everyone, "Everyone can come and see the effect. I believe that if these can be equipped, the combat effectiveness of the Knights will be greatly improved."

After his introduction, everyone present not only became interested in these equipment, but also got to know the Baron of Shanlin Town again.

Especially for Lulans who was sitting in a high position, he realized that besides the bad impression he had of Roning, he also had some shining points, at least he had a certain understanding of weapons and equipment.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Why didn't this kid's special skills show up at all? "Let me try the effect of this shield."

The captain of the Knights' team, Galil, came out and said, "Baron Ronin, who would like to accompany me to try out the effects?"

"Your Excellency is very powerful. Let my guard, Mikan, accompany you to test it."

Roning looked at McKen and warned him, "Galil is at the bronze level, be careful."

"Don't worry, sir."

Mikan held up his shield in his left hand, ready for battle, "Come on, Galil!"

Galil saluted as a knight, then drew his sword and attacked.

Because they were testing the quality of the shields, the two men did not display any physical skills, but only engaged in pure slashing and confrontation.

Of course, Galil did not use his full strength. A bronze-level full-strength attack would be difficult to withstand even with an iron shield, let alone an ironwood shield.

With a bang, the sword hit the shield, leaving a clear mark of the cut, but because the force was controlled, the scar was not deep.

"It's possible to defend against the attacks of a junior knight."

Galil took a step back and launched a second attack, this time with the power increased to the level of a mid-level knight.

McCann responded calmly and took the second blow accurately.

This time, a deeper gap was left on the shield, but because the shield had a certain curvature, it was not cut open and could continue to be used.

When everyone thought that Galil had stopped attacking, he curled up the corners of his mouth, took a step forward, and actually attacked McKen.

Everyone was stunned. Roning also frowned and subconsciously prepared to call a halt, but he found that Lulans did not show any strange expression. Was he testing McKen's strength? Roning frowned, and while he was thinking, the two had already fought.

McKen noticed something unusual when the opponent was attacking. By the time Galil's sword stabbed at him, he had successfully avoided it and pulled out the sword from his back with his backhand.

In an instant, the two people who were originally testing the shields fought together.

At the beginning, the two did not use their fighting qi, but simply competed in physical skills and strength, but they found that they were evenly matched.

Then, the fighting spirit broke out.

The fierce battle and collision caused waves of air currents in the Wushan Fortress. Even though his fighting spirit had erupted and his explosive power had been greatly increased, Galil only had a slight advantage.

Galil activated his fighting spirit and prepared to use fighting skills.

But at this moment, Lu Lans, who was sitting above, spoke: "Okay."

Captain Toru followed suit and said, "Galil, I asked you to test the shield, what are you doing?"

Galil retreated after one strike and said with a smile, "I heard that the conquest of the wild tribe was largely due to the brave fighting of Knight Macken. I couldn't help but want to give it a try."

He nodded to McKen, "Seeing you today, you're really strong!"

Macon returned the salute, then stood next to Ronin with his shield.

Roning laughed, "Now that we've tested it, Galil, what do you think of this shield?"

"Can!"

Galil nodded solemnly. "It may not be able to defend against many attacks from mid-level knights, but it is fully sufficient for confrontations between ordinary soldiers or even between junior knights."

He pointed at the iron armor that Ronin had just introduced, and said, "Compared to the shield, I value this armor more."

Tolu walked up and took the Tiemu Zha armor. He pinched one of the pieces of armor with his hand to test its hardness, then repeatedly checked the production process and weighed its weight.

"Dawson, come and see what this armor looks like."

The quartermaster came forward, greeted Roning, then took Temujin and began to experiment with him, including stabbing and slashing with the dagger he carried with him.

Roning also asked Walton and George to cooperate in the chopping.

"My Lords, Temujin's defense is sufficient."

Quartermaster Dawson gave his opinion, "The Knights are currently equipped with plate armor, chain mail, and cloth armor. Although we have seen this kind of lamellar armor, we have not equipped it."

"Chain mail and plate armor provide strong protection, but they are too heavy and expensive to make. We do not prepare this type of armor for all our soldiers."

"Ordinary soldiers are usually equipped with cloth armor, but the defense is weaker and cannot be compared with the ironwood armor provided by Baron Ronin."

Listening to the quartermaster's introduction, Roning nodded secretly.

Chain mail, plate armor, and cloth armor are common armor. On Earth, cloth armor eventually developed into composite armor, which is as defensive as lamellar armor.

But in this world, cloth armor is really just made of multiple layers of linen pressed together, and its defensive power is not very strong.

"So what is your suggestion?" asked Toru, the leader of the Knights.

Dawson did not hesitate and replied: "We can equip a small team of knights with it first. If the effect is good, we can then promote it to the entire knight group, and even other knight groups."

Toru nodded and said, "Galil, let your knight team do the experiment. You can discuss with Galil later to see how much of each item to buy."

"Oh, by the way, please ask Treasurer Curry to discuss the price with Baron Ronin."

In fact, the discussion on commodity prices should be before the order is confirmed. Such an order only means that no matter what the quality and price of the products given by Roning are, some will be purchased today as a friendship.

Luo Ning smiled and said, "Each ironwood shield is 6 silver coins, each spear is 3 silver coins, each chest guard is 1 gold coin, and the ironwood armor takes time to make, so I'll give it a price of 3 gold coins each."

Curry's eyes lit up, "This price is very reasonable!"

It’s not that he said this for the sake of Lu Lans or Roning, but Curry felt that the price was indeed very reasonable.

On the market, an ordinary chain mail costs 10 gold coins. The overall defensive effect of Tiemu Zha armor is much weaker than that of chain mail, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Although it is made of special wood, it still has a certain value, and the price of 3 gold coins is reasonable.

Curry had subconsciously thought that Roning would ask for a lot right away.

This price is acceptable.

"In that case, let's do as you just said, Toru."

Lu Lans said, "Ronin, don't you have a curved plow for ploughing? I called the political officer Albert over, and now he will take you to a field in a manor to test it."

"OK!"

Ronin looked at the last person in the fortress, the political officer Albert, and said, "Excuse me, sir."

"It's an honor to serve you, Baron!"

Albert bowed slightly, then made a gesture of invitation and took Roning out of Wushan Fortress.

After everyone left Wushan Fortress, Lulans looked at Galil, "How strong is that McKen?"

Galil bowed and replied, "His fighting skills and agility are not inferior to mine. Without using fighting skills, it is unlikely that I can defeat him in a short period of time."

Lu Lan Si couldn't help but snorted, "This kid actually told me that McKen just broke through from the intermediate knight to the advanced level not long ago."

Galil shook his head when he heard this. "McKen's strength may not have reached the bronze level, but it has definitely reached the peak of the advanced level."

Toru asked, "Sir, what do you mean?"
