For such a group of people, Char instinctively felt in his heart that this kind of person was not easy to mess with, and he didn't want to deal with Junker and others more, so he was neither humble nor arrogant: "Lord Juncker, I didn't know you were visiting" Junker didn't enter the door, just stood on the road outside the door, Char's attitude was cold, but his expression was even more indifferent, he was originally the leader of the Night Imperial Forest, the emperor's loyal dead soldier, the practice is not to make friends with any courtiers, only to maintain an indifferent attitude towards any powerful minister, in order to maintain the emperor's trust.
So Juncker just nodded briefly at Char, and then raised his hand, and the two attendants behind him carried down several boxes of different sizes from a carriage on the side of the road and placed them in front of the door.
"Lord Baron, on the orders of His Majesty, I have sent you some things, these things have been personally selected by me in the palace arsenal, if you don't think you can take advantage of it, you can also send someone to exchange them."
The tone is flat, with a businesslike attitude.
After speaking, he didn't seem to be interested in saying anything to Xia Yaduo, as if he didn't want to stay longer, raised his hand, and drove away with someone.
Looking at the pile of long and short boxes on the ground at the door, Xia Ya was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this was the weapon and equipment that the emperor rewarded him after he offered a piece of dragon scales.
He didn't care, and casually carried someone into the yard, and only then did he feel that these boxes were heavy and abnormal After closing the courtyard door, Sharba and Cato, as well as Alfrecat, had already come out, and everyone opened the boxes together, and they all wanted to see what the weapons rewarded by the emperor looked like, and after the boxes were opened, everyone in the courtyard couldn't help but gasp Cato had done logistics in the army, and after a while, he raised his head and looked at Char, and couldn't help but smile: "Char, now you can develop these things, I have only heard of several things before, but I have never seen them, damn it, the things in the arsenal of this palace are really good" Although Junker has an indifferent attitude, he is really dedicated to what the emperor has to say, and the things he selects for Char in the arsenal are all genuine and good things, and he doesn't save the emperor at all.
Here is a complete set of equipment for long and short weapons, armor and vests, and Juncker doesn't know what kind of weapons Char is used to, several long and short weapons, so he simply picked one of them There are three kinds of short weapons, a silver cross sword, which is not a big road commodity used by those samurai on the market outside, although many samurai in the empire like to use this kind of gorgeous and imposing long sword, but most of them are imitations.
The real Silver Cross is a special weapon used by the Templars in the Church hundreds of years ago The Knights Templar of the true Church is a group of godly and powerful ascetic knights who are responsible for guarding the Church and maintaining its glory.
Legend has it that this order was founded at the beginning of the empire, and under the suppression of the imperial power, the scale of this knight order owned by the church has never been large, the total number has never exceeded fifty, but each of these fifty knights is a master of superior strength.
At the beginning of the Empire, it also made great achievements for the Empire, and it was prominent for a while, but after the establishment of the Empire, after countless struggles between the divine right and the imperial power, the Church was gradually suppressed by the royal family, and the Knights Templar gradually declined.
Legend has it that the knights of the Templar Order were armed with the Silver Cross, which was ornate and ideal for close-quarters combat.
The most important thing is that the hilt of a real silver cross sword is not an ordinary silver inlay, but a mythril This is a special rare metal that can be attached to a magical caste The silver cross swords that are popular on the market are just imitations of the silver cross swords that ordinary samurai admired in their hearts and envied the mighty and powerful shape of the silver cross swords used by the Templars, but later they became a kind of popularity, and there were imitations in large and small weapon shops.
But the real Silver Cross Sword is only available in the arsenals of the Church and the Imperial Family, because the sword is easy to imitate, but Mithril is extremely difficult to obtain After all, Alfrecat was born as a samurai, and his eyes lit up when he saw this sword, and he grabbed it and looked at it for a while before he sighed: "Damn, I saw the real thing today, this sword blade is made of refined steel, and the pure fire of the sword blade is a special process, but it is not comparable to those copycats on the market." ” As he spoke, he pulled out his sword, a sword in one hand, and the two swords fought hard, and there was a gap on the blade of his own sword, and Alfrecat lost his sword, took the silver cross sword and looked at it carefully, and said with emotion: "Sure enough, it is sharp, and the hilt of this sword is Mithril, if you can find a magician to help bless the magic, then this sword is a magic weapon, and when you fight the enemy, the power is doubled." ” Then Alfrecat explained carefully: "This magic blessing, generally speaking, is nothing more than a power blessing, or an agility blessing, but with a good thing like Mithril, the blessed magic can be more complicated, and it can even be blessed with some wind magic or fire magic When I was young, I once saw a real Templar in the church, and when the sword was cut out, a piece of flame could be drawn out of the blade, so I think it was blessed with the effect of fire magic." ” Char laughed: "I don't like to make swords, this sword will be given to you." ” Alfrecat was stunned for a moment, seeing that Char's face was sincere, not as if he was joking, he was suddenly surprised: "My lord" "It's just a sword, I'm used to using my fire fork, and Sharpa and Cato are both from cavalry, they can't fight on foot, and their martial arts are not as good as yours, and the people around me now, you are the only one from an orthodox samurai, and this sword is given to you, and it can be regarded as making the best use of it."
Alfrecat was overjoyed and bowed to Char: "Thank you for the sword."
He couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, even if it was an imitation silver cross sword, such as the one used by Philip of his nemesis of the Silver Python Warrior Order, the value in the market was at least a few thousand gold coins.
And the value of a genuine product will be multiplied several times In addition, there is a light saber for short weapons, which is also forged from steel, but the blade is a little narrower, and it is light in the hand, Char glanced at it, and simply gave it to Kato Among several people, Shar Bali is large, Kato's martial arts belong to the category of light skills, and this kind of light saber is the most suitable for him to use.
As for Sharpa, there is also a double-edged heavy sword held in both hands, weighing more than 20 kilograms, which is suitable for a strong man like Sharpa.
Although the saber and two-handed heavy sword are not as Mithril as the Silver Cross Sword, they are also of the highest quality, and if they are in the army, only high-ranking officers of the rank of general are qualified to use such weapons.
In addition to the short weapons, the long weapons on the horse, Juncker selected a total of three, a cross battle gun, the style of this war spear, Char couldn't help but think of Hasting's black war spear, but this gun is obviously much more gorgeous than Hasting's black war gun in appearance.
The cross-shaped gun head, the tip of the gun saw a cross-edged blade, which strengthened the lethality, and the gun body was iron, which increased the weight, and I didn't know what kind of metal the gun body was, hard and flexible, although Char had not learned the martial arts of the war spear, but he also saw at a glance that to use this kind of war gun, the martial arts of the person who used it needed to be both rigid and soft, in order to exert the full power of this war gun.
He tried it, grabbed the gun in his hand, and used his arms hard, even through the crimson murderous power, almost bent the gun into an arc like a longbow, and as soon as he let go, the gun suddenly "whew" and swept out the strong elastic force, and the gun smashed the ground, smashing a square bluestone into pieces, and the gun was straightened again, and there was no deformation "Good thing" Char praised, but then looked at the three people beside him, although Sharba and Cato were born in cavalry, but their martial arts skills were worse after all, and Alfrecat was born as a samurai, and riding was not his forte, such a good war gun, but the three of them couldn't use it.
As for Char himself, he still likes to use heavy weapons such as long axes or lance hammers.
"Let's keep it for now."
Char sighed: "I seem to have heard that Grimm's mad dog is a master of making guns, so keep it for him." ” In addition, there are two long weapons on horses, an axe and a spear, and a heavy prism hammer.
The handle of the axe gun was plated with a layer of golden metal, which was shining with gold, and the blade of the axe was sharp white steel, and the tip of the gun was muddy iron point steel.
As for the prismal hammer, it was given to Sharpa.
The hammer body of this ang hammer pure iron, with three hundred and sixty steel thorns on it, weighed dozens of kilograms, even if it is a strong man like Sharpa, it is quite difficult to use, and Sharpa's martial arts skills have not yet reached the level of training fighting spirit, but in the future, after his martial arts breakthrough, this heavy edge hammer will be his best weapon.
Long and short weapons are not suitable for Char's own use, and the turtle can't help but be a little disappointed in his heart, but then he opened the largest wooden box and looked at it, and Char finally cried out happily "What a hill armor," Cato exclaimed first.
The Byzantine Empire was known for its cavalry, and although in general, the quality of individual soldiers could not compete with the berserkers of Odin in the north, but it was better equipped.
In particular, the cavalry equipment is the best in the mainland.
Generally speaking, the armor made in Byzantium was the best on the continent.
In the imperial army, the defense equipment is divided into several levels: ordinary cavalry generally does not wear iron armor, mainly leather armor and cotton armor, and occasionally in order to strengthen the defense, on the basis of leather armor, some iron pieces will be reinforced in the vital parts, which is the lowest level of light "iron armor".
And the real iron armor, which can only be prepared by the cavalry commander, is an ordinary plate armor, with two pieces of cuirass iron plates on the chest and back, as well as shoulder and arm guards, this kind of armor is the armor of the lowest team officer.
Generally speaking, this kind of armor prepared by low-level officers is mostly black because of its flat appearance, so it is called "black flat armor".
The higher level is the battalion officer and above, which is considered a middle-level officer in the army.
Most of the armor is still dominated by iron armor, but in the key parts, it is reinforced with steel sheets, and in order to strengthen the defense, it is no longer simply nailed with flat steel sheets, but some advanced processes are adopted, and small pieces of steel are covered like fish scales.
Because the iron armor itself is black, and the color of some steel sheets is white, the shape shows some black and white lines, and such armor is called "pattern armor".
The higher level, generally speaking, is the flag regiment-level officer in the main corps, or the garrison commander in the second-line troops in some places, etc., some senior officers who can take charge alone, to this level, generally speaking, it is regarded as one foot into the ranks of the imperial senior officers, this level of armor, generally speaking, is based on delicate steel armor, no longer use iron.
Both the texture and the defense have been up a notch, and at the same time, in the nailing procedure, a large number of advanced technology is used, and senior officers generally rarely fight in the front line, so the process of plate armor is no longer used, and the shape of the plate armor is more suitable for the chopping of frontal defensive weapons, and the senior officer's because they do not need to fight in the front line, then the manufacturing process of the armor is mainly based on defensive arrows, and the scale armor in the shape of fish scales is considered to be a weapon that penetrates the bow and arrow sharply, and the defense is the best, so in general, Officers of this rank are prepared with fish-scale steel armor, because the color of the steel plate is bright, so this kind of armor is called "Mingguang armor".
It's a watershed moment here.
Generally speaking, in the Byzantine army, when you meet an officer, you can roughly see the position of the opponent without looking at the opponent's badge and rank, as long as you look at the opponent's armor.
If the armor is mainly black iron, then it is most likely below the battalion officer.
And if it is white and bright steel armor, then it is a senior officer at the flag regiment level.
When Char returned to Yanjing from the front line to report on his work, the officials along the way were polite to him along the way, because he was wearing a white and shiny military steel armor.

It's a status symbol.
When it comes to the "Mingguang Armor", it is even the highest level of armor of ordinary officers in the emperor.
Further up, there is the general level.
He can command a corps of troops to fight alone, and he is the real power general of the empire.
At this level, the level of military craftsmanship of the Byzantine Empire is even more prominent in the armor.
Plate armor is good for blocking frontal slashes, while fish scale armor is better at defending against sharp piercing weapons such as bows and arrows.
But when it comes to the general level, the requirements for armor need to be able to be near and far, and the defense power is more balanced.
Therefore, at this level, the armor completely abandoned the style of plate armor and fish scale armor, and used a large number of "chain mail".
This kind of armor is mainly made of high-grade soft steel, which is harder than ordinary steel sheets, but it also has a flexible surname, so that after the senior generals wear it, they will not make the body stiff and bloated, and will not limit the play of personal superb martial arts when fighting.
At the same time, one by one, the small pieces of soft steel are nailed together like locks, one by one, and when encountering the slashing of frontal heavy weapons, the force can be instantly dispersed through the countless lock rings, and the force is expanded and the damage is reduced.
At the same time, because they are tightly locked together and the gaps are dense, they also have a strong defense against sharp penetrating weapons such as bows and arrows.
At such a level, it can no longer be called "armor", but "armor".
The equipment of such a high-ranking general made of soft steel is generally called "hill armor".
The origin of the name, which is said to be this lock-shaped armor, was first created by an armor-making master named "Qiu Shan" in the Empire.
It can be said that the people who wear Qiushan armor are all high-level figures with real power in the army, either the general who commands an army, or the middle and high-level of the army.
This time, Char returned to Yanjing, and on the way he wore a set of soft steel chain mail "Qiushan Armor", wearing such armor is a symbol of status But the hill armor naturally has a distinction.
The set that Char wore before was just the basic equipment extorted from the military headquarters in the theater, and those who could wear Qiushan armor were either rich or expensive, and on the basis of this soft steel chain mail, they made a variety of improvements and modifications to strengthen their defense.
For example, the Qiushan armor in the box in front of him, although it is still in the style of mild steel chain mail, has been improved in a variety of ways.
For example, in the part of the breastplate, a layer of silver is added to the edge of the periphery, and the silver pattern is obviously Mithril powder if you look closely, and the inside of the cuirass is padded with a layer of high-quality rhinoceros skin, because of the forging of metal armor, after all, there are always some seams and gaps in the joints, which gives the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of the lining of a layer of rhinoceros skin to make up for the joints.
The weight has not increased much, but the defense has increased by at least 20%.
Moreover, this soft steel is not comparable to ordinary hill armor, the metal color of this set of armor is brighter, and it looks more faint luster than ordinary soft steel, and the color is as if it is the color of the blade of the silver cross swordsmanship "God" Afrecat looked at it carefully for a while before he sighed: "This is mild steel, I am afraid that it is made of secret fire, and this process is very difficult, generally speaking, it will only be used slightly on the edge of the weapon to strengthen the hardness and sharpness of the edge."
It's like this to make such a big set of armor, how much does it cost?"
Char lifted this set of armor, and then couldn't help but try it on, the Junker seemed extremely careful, this armor was modified according to Char's body shape, and as soon as he wore it, it fit perfectly.
Originally, Char didn't care too much about things like armor, because he had dragon scales to protect his body, and dragon blood had strengthened his body, and his own defense was strong enough, but such a set of "Qiushan Armor" was worn on his body, and he was suddenly angry, and the three people next to him couldn't help but cheer loudly after seeing it.
Sharpa couldn't help but sigh: "Damn, this armor seems to grow on you" Alfrecat next to him moved in his heart and shouted: "My lord, look at the sword" As he spoke, he swung the silver cross sword and slashed it at Char's arm Char smiled slightly, and raised his arm to block the resonance The blade of the silver cross sword slashed on the arm guard of Qiu Shan's armor, and suddenly burst out a string of sparks, but the blade of the sword was gently bounced away by the soft armor full of bullets, Char looked down, there was no crack on the arm, just a shallow white mark, and he reached out and wiped it away Although Alfrecat did not use this sword with all his strength, the silver cross sword he was holding in his hand immediately made several people fully feel the power of this hill armor Cato sighed: "There is a legend that when the Duke of Minas was young, he fought on the battlefield, and His Majesty once gave him a set of hill armor secretly made in the palace, that set of armor is inferior to knives and guns, and the bow and arrow are difficult to penetrate, even if it is difficult to split the Duke of Minas with fighting spirit, he has become the first general of the empire today, and he has been fighting for many years, and that armor has saved his surname many times Today, it seems that the one you got Char may not be worse than the one that the Duke of Minas did."
As he spoke, Alfrecat next to him also said: "Yes, there is still Mithril powder on the chest of this armor, as long as you find a magician to help, you can bless the magic, and then the power of this armor can be fully revealed."
Char's heart was happy, laughing, and quite proud.
This set of armor really made him very satisfied, he walked back and forth in the courtyard a few times, and took out a fire fork to try a set of martial arts techniques to destroy thousands of armies, and there was no sense of obstruction, obviously the joints have been specially treated.
Char was naturally happy to get such a few good things, and that night, the Duke of Minas sent someone to his house.
This time it was not the little lord Roddy who pretended to be a groom, but a few attendants from the Minas family, and the people who came didn't say much, but directly handed over a set of keys and a few real estate deeds and other things, and then left directly without saying anything.
Char knew in his heart that this was what Cavishil said, and the Duke of Minas had "returned" the Tulip Family's secret mansion to himself.
Although the affairs of the Tulip family made him a little jealous in his heart, it was an unexpected gain to get such a big mansion for nothing.
As for the people around him who asked, why did the Duke of Minas suddenly come to the door to deliver such a big gift, Char naturally didn't tell the truth, just laughed, and deliberately said cheekily: "I think it's because the Duke sees that Lao Tzu is young and promising, and he has a bright future, and wants to call Lao Tzu as a son-in-law, so he sends something to show his goodness."
For Char's words, several companions in the family naturally laughed, but seeing that Char could be valued by the emperor's first minister, they were all happy for Char in their hearts.
At this moment, Char is already the core of everyone, and everyone will be regarded as subordinates attached to Char's side in the future, and he can be appreciated by a big man like Duke Minas, and everyone's future future will naturally be guaranteed.
Char is a person who can't hide things in a hurry, after getting the house, he took people out of the city that day to see it again, although he couldn't open the secret room in public with people, but he saw such a big manor built on the middle of the mountain, although it was dilapidated for a long time, but the magnificent building, still made everyone's mouth open in shock.
The turtle was very proud on his face, and he burned the bun very much, but when he settled the account in the evening, the turtle was dumbfounded "How, how is it possible" The turtle's eyes widened: "I got such a big house, but I was about to go bankrupt."
