The big show that Kamner brought his white armor soldiers at the gate of the Governor's Mansion in New Roseburg immediately became a new topic of conversation in the city.

Equipping some soldiers with super-heavy armor is making them slash and kill. Some elderly people in the capital still remember the past more than ten years ago. The troops rushed directly into the enemy's formation and slashed and killed wantonly.

However, the total number of soldiers who participated in the war at that time was not much compared with the current population of the Ross Kingdom, and a considerable number of those soldiers were from the Ross tribe, and a considerable part of their families immigrated to the more comfortable Mstisk and Novgorod on the shores of Lake Ilmen. Germany.

Only a few witnesses of the war lived in the capital city of New Roseburg. Most of them knew a group of soldiers who were strapped with perforated thick iron plates twelve years ago through the descriptions of printed documentary literature. Their appearance became strange. The posture of the tactical reserve team destroyed the confidence of the Gotland Army, allowing the Ross Army to end its anxiety and win quickly.

After all, for most people, those are all legends and popular stories printed on paper.

Even though they knew that the armor was made by Ross blacksmiths, a large group of former blacksmith apprentices have grown into strong blacksmiths. Two years ago, these blacksmiths were making heavy armor for the king, and they also took the heavy armor that was said to be equipped with a banner team to Frank with the first wave of expeditionary forces.

Ordinary people have never seen the Ross army equipped with heavy armor and ostentatiously.

Now it is finally seen.

The Citizens' Second Banner Corps stationed in the capital almost always acted as patrol officers in peacetime.

New Roseburg is so big that an urban environment is bound to emerge

Due to the existing problems, the established magistrates are insufficiently manned. Considering the finances of the Governor's Mansion, Konusson Jr. does not want to hire more manpower to maintain law and order.

As for the soldiers of the Citizens' Banner Squad, they usually serve as soldiers in civil wars. According to the rules, they should do regular military training to ensure sufficient combat effectiveness.

I thought that instead of gathering regularly, it would be better to group them into groups and carry out shift patrols on weekdays.

These fighters are given management rights, especially when there is a dispute in the market and a fight is caused, the fighters rush to control the scene and quickly stop the fight with sticks. If those people dared to attack these soldiers, the soldiers of the flag team would immediately draw their swords and fight with them with the power given by the governor.

Relying on this **** method, people coming and going in the market had to become disciplined, and had to speak calmly when there were disputes.

But there are still people who don't open their eyes, especially those outsiders. Because they don't understand the rules of New Roseburg, they think this place is the former Port of Hedeby. point.

Originally, Rurik didn't want his subordinates to be so rough, hoping to gather up the thieves and hooligans he caught, and transport them all to the mine as slaves.

However, the rise of the Kingdom of Ross has a background of worshiping violence. New Roseburg, which has become an "international metropolis", is a mixed bag. To stop the fighting, it is better to directly suppress it with sticks. Rurik is aware of the arrangements made by Konusson Jr. in recent years, and if he doesn't explicitly object, he acquiesces.

In principle, these fighters will not abuse their power. In essence, their behavior is rough, so that the patrols line up neatly. Once they appear, people

As long as they were familiar with the road, they kept quiet and avoided one after another, and those who quarreled immediately shut up for their own lives.

The vicious demeanor of the Second Banner Squad was considered by Konusson Jr. to maintain the arrogance of the soldiers, and the murderous aura exuded at any time made people believe that such a garrison would bring death to the Frankish soldiers if they were brought to the battlefield.

However, such an army is not in the arrangement sequence of the second wave of expeditionary forces.

The soldiers held a breath in their hearts, just as it could be used.

The 500 sets of heavy armor made by Kamne cannot be worn by a single soldier by himself, or need the assistance of servants, or help each other among comrades.

Knowing that the King's expeditionary fleet will arrive soon, the governor, Konusson Jr., must seize the opportunity to give the King a hard job to prove that everything is fine with his work in the capital.

On this day, the cement replacement operation in Harvest Plaza was still planned, but the square market that was supposed to be open today was closed by the sheriffs, and those who wanted to set up stalls were persuaded to leave.

This move certainly caused resentment, but after they learned what was going on, they put the goods that were urgently needed to be sold back home, and hurriedly took the whole family to Harvest Plaza to watch the excitement.

Just because the legendary new cutting-edge heavy armored army of the Ross Kingdom is about to make a unified appearance!

People have been paying attention to this matter, and after learning of this inaccurate news, lively people came out from the streets and alleys in all directions, and then gathered at the edge of the square. They didn't go any further, just because everyone had learned to behave after the last farce.

The newly laid cement has not yet dried, and the road surface is damaged and has to be paved and resurfaced. Such saboteurs were all caught, whether intentionally or not, and they

All of them were fined to log in the forest outside the city, and the punishment will last until the end of this year's autumn harvest.

The people were watching not far away, and soon they saw a horrifying scene for their trip.

In the sun, a shiny thing is moving.

Be a warrior! They lined up in a phalanx, with helmets, breastplates, and even the entire plate armor on the limbs. Such a dress reminds people of crabs.

Konusson Jr. has now succeeded his father, and his own military position is the second banner team of the Citizens' Army, the banner captain of the army stationed in the capital.

Today is the most special gathering!

Little Konusson put on this armor himself, and he could clearly feel the strong pressure. Fortunately, he is a real man who deliberately overcomes it, but he can't last too long. This is the fault of wearing heavy armor to fight. The soldiers' physical strength will be quickly consumed. If they are not strong men, they are not qualified to wear such heavy armor.

In fact, this set of armor and equipment for the Second Banner Team is really stressful for some soldiers, and they are a little wobbly when walking in it. Talk about going to war? At least everyone can wear it to stay still and walk in small steps while maintaining the formation. The single purpose of showing off the might is enough.

"Put down the iron mask!"

"Centuries! Marching ranks, let's go!"

The White Armored Soldiers, who were guest-starred by the Citizens' Second Banner Team, marched neatly in the flat square. Each ten-man team formed a row, and a centurion team was divided into twelve rows, and so on.

Their helmets have changed styles, but the feathers on the top of the helmets remain unchanged. The higher the rank, the more and more colorful the feathers.

These feathers dyed blue swayed violently in the wind, the sun warmed the armor, and the strong reflection made the soldiers have to squint their eyes.

What Konusson called the "iron mask" is the foldable ring-shaped iron neck guard, which can be removed in normal use, or folded up and placed on the helmet, and it becomes a huge hat brim like a bamboo hat.

It was lowered completely to protect the warrior's neck, but in this way, the boundary between the head and the torso became blurred.

The overall image of the soldiers is like a standing iron tower, and the nickname "iron crab" has spread like wildfire.

So far Konusson is very satisfied with this display, he walks at the head of the team and can observe the situation at any time.

Under the command of the horn, the second flag team began to make complex formation changes. In the order, they held shields to form a shield wall, and performed an offensive exercise in front of thousands of onlookers.

The overwhelming sense of oppression frightened many people to retreat spontaneously.

Because, they couldn't see the faces of those soldiers, they only saw row after row of shield walls pressing towards them. Behind the wooden shield is just a piece of reflective iron, and there is no human figure at all, as if those are not human beings.

The armor has been strengthened to such a point, is it necessary to build a shield wall with wooden shields? Perhaps it is indeed terrible to eliminate the buckler.

Konusson Jr. is also a veteran after all, so the issue of armor and shield should be viewed from two perspectives. The shield wall, as its name suggests, is a wall with vitality. It can be attacked or defended. The tactics of collectively pushing the shield can disrupt the enemy's formation. Make sure our troops are unscathed.

"What do you think? Little Konusson today, he is in the limelight." Standing on a high place, Evro patted the shoulder of the old buddy Blue Fox, and the last slap was very powerful.

It's worth a thousand words.

The blue fox stared at the movement of those troops with a pair of blue eyes.

"Powerful! I didn't expect that the king prepared this kind of armor. Those soldiers, are they still human? I can't see their necks, I can only feel that everyone is carrying a whole piece of iron in motion."

"A very apt description. I'm afraid that such a warrior, even our arrows can't do anything." Yevro sighed deeply anxiously, thinking about planting a large number of ash trees by himself, so as to obtain the products made of this kind of good wood. The longbow is invincible, after all, wood is no match for iron.

The blue fox thought for a while: "Only the projectiles of the torsion slingshot can kill such an army."

"What if it's a fight? You fought against that Lothar's army in Frank," Yevro reminded.

"It will be crushing." With eyes as wide as copper bells, Blue Fox couldn't hide the fear in his heart.

"Are you actually scared?!"

"I'm afraid! I'm afraid! No one can defeat this iron tower army in a frontal fight. Presumably the future Ross army will have such a configuration. My Gothenburg is not capable of organizing such an army. And if the king uses this The army goes to fight Lothair's army, and the king will win."

Yefro couldn't understand what he said: "Absurd, this is obviously our army, why should you be happy about being afraid?"

"That's the problem. Luckily, they're our troops."

There seemed to be something in the words, Yefluo couldn't understand and didn't bother to ask Lanhu if there was any deep meaning.

Because in the decisive battle of Koblenz, after the Ross Expeditionary Army and the Nassau Army joined forces, the stalwarts of the First Banner Squad of the Standing Army were equipped with the first mass-produced overall plate armor, and then equipped with

Combining the chain mail and plate armor has completed the complete annihilation of Lothair's standing army with as many as seven or eight hundred people!

You must know that it was the treasure left by Charlemagne to his grandson, and it was a major achievement of Frank's military reform. It was so hastily wiped out by the expeditionary force, causing Lothair's direct-controlled army to suffer a major setback. The collapse of this army directly led to the opening of Trier and the Saar River, followed by the looting of the entire area by the Ross Expeditionary Force...

This white-armored army has heavier armor and a higher level of defense. Only God knows what results they can achieve.

When the general public can only talk about the prospects of this strong army, Blue Fox has already estimated the lower limit of this white armored army based on the example of the complete annihilation of the "Quentin Legion".

Those warriors were still performing, and Blue Fox finally regained his senses. He sighed slightly calmly: "In the end, these armors were taken to Frank by the king. In the end, those berserkers in the standing army will replace them."

"Oh? And what about the plate armor from before?"

"Don't be inferior fighters. Your Majesty will definitely make the best use of everything. In this way, there will be a thousand invincible heavy armored fighters. You... absolutely understand what this means."

"I get it. Big win."

Yefro's words obviously have a sense of frivolity and frivolity. He will not go to Frank, and it is impossible to deeply understand her hugeness.

Blue Fox is not the case. These years of legendary experience have deepened his understanding of Frank. It is an extremely huge world. Only by experiencing it in person can he understand the meaning of the abstract lines described by King Ross on the mapthe vast world and the vastness of the world. The customs of the north.

A show off of martial power and inspection of armor

The show is over, and the Second Banner has paid for it. Little Konusson's own physical fitness is very good, but he underestimated the fact that the quality of the idle fighters has declined.

They made a performance that was too long, based on the honor of the soldiers, and considering that the crowd had been watching, no one was willing to show timidity in public, so they gritted their teeth and continued to endure any difficulties.

Finally, they lined up to enter the governor's mansion. When the wooden door was closed, the soldiers sat on the ground one after another as if unloading a heavy burden, and even fell down directly.

The soldier lying in a mess and the image just now form two extremes.

Little Konusson took off his helmet, his face was also wet with his own sweat, and he couldn't help complaining to the left and right, with a lot of exaggeration: "Kamnier's armor is so cruel! My head will be crushed by this weighted helmet .

Although the facts were not so extreme, when the soldiers finally took off all their armors, they found that each other's clothes had been soaked, and the linen shirts were completely pickled.

Now, the soldiers were ordered to line up again, and many of them felt as if they had been reborn after being relieved of their heavy burdens. Looking at the mountains of armor beside them, they couldn't help but feel ashamed. "Fortunately, I'm not qualified to wear this kind of tortoise shell to fight on the battlefield." Many soldiers lamented that if they had to fight, they would prefer to wear flexible plate armor and chain mail.

They all drank some water and brought their spirits back to life. Little Knusson stood with them, and he deliberately wore his sweat-soaked clothes and shouted loudly: "This is a training! You have done a good job!" Well, now I order you to be ready at all times, as long as the king is here, we will quickly put on our armor and go to the pier

meet! It's time to let the king see our demeanor! "

Little Conusson wanted to surprise Rurik, and this was his surprise.

In order to end the performance successfully, he simply sent scouts to follow up on the upper reaches of the Neva River, and when he found a large-scale fleet, he immediately sent a report down the river.

The scouts are so lucky! When they noticed a dense flame appearing on Lake Ladoga from a distance, they realized that it could only be the main force of the expeditionary force.

It was very reasonable for Master Wang to spend the night at the Walnut Fortress at the mouth of the lake. The scouts who thought of this did not make any further investigations, and put down the boat at dawn the next day and began to drift quickly.

The scouts who rushed back to the city directly broke into the governor's mansion and reported this important event to the sleepy little Konusson.

"Having waited for half a year, the king has finally arrived!" Without any more nonsense, he suddenly put on his clothes and ran outdoors in a hale and hearty way, then summoned the guards: "Go! Tell everyone in the barracks to get up! Put on heavy armor and assemble! Let's go to the pier! "

Then when Rurik's army rushed on the Neva River, Novorossburg was full of hustle and bustle.

The White Armored Soldiers assembled on a large scale in the morning, and the governor led them to the pier quickly.

The first step was all the sheriffs. These people arrived at the pier and temporarily canceled the fishing market here, and stood firm here to maintain order.

Shortly thereafter, the white armored soldiers arrived at the pier and finished queuing up.

According to Little Konusson's request, they deliberately stood in a long and narrow human wall, equivalent to a length of three hundred meters!

He did it on purpose, so that the entire second flag team built a single "iron wall", but in terms of its too bright and dazzling color, it is more appropriate to call it a "zinc wall".

Then, the high priest Lumi who heard the news

Ya immediately suspended the daily worship ceremony of the people in today's temple, took all the lower-level priests and put on the exquisite white burqa one after another, and she put on the antler helmet herself, and a kind of priestess lined up like an army and went straight to the pier. This includes Teresia the blackbird who is terrified and extremely looking forward to.

"How should I face King Ross? Do I really want to tell him my other identity immediately? Obviously, I want to cut it off." Blackbird muttered silently.

Verika, who was walking with her head hooked, calmly responded softly: "It's okay to tell the king the truth. Don't worry, you are my servant, and I am your backer in Ross."

"It's so kind of you"

"Who's talking?!" Suddenly, Rumia, the leader of the team, yelled: "Keep quiet! Stand still at the pier. Remember, you are all servants of the gods. King Rurik is the son of God. Facing the king Be as devout as you are before a god!"

Is Rurik really the Son of God? The young priestesses believed it, as people had been repeating these claims for the past twenty years.

Although she had doubts about the blackbird, she also wanted to see the honor of King Rosswhether it was as sacred as a god.

Based on the theological education Blackbird received when he was still the princess Jisla, the so-called God is a spirit, and what kind of image He is depends on what he wants to see. Or maybe he didn't appear in person, but just said some words in the form of a lingering sound echoing in his ears.

In the great temple of the Ross people, Blackbird felt that this was their "first temple on the Temple Mount". The seven gods worshiped in it must have come from northern beliefs.

The understanding of the people, as for the gods, only they themselves know.

But King Ross has been blessed by the gods, and perhaps the afterimage of Odin, the great **** of the north, can be seen from his face.

After all, good sister Verika has always said that her father is a handsome young man, who is said to be only twenty-three years old? That was much younger than his uncle blue fox.

The blackbird wanted to see what King Ross himself looked like, who compromised his uncle and defeated his father.

But at the pier, the first thing she saw was a "white wall" here, that is, the white armored soldiers who were clamoring in the square a few days ago? !

"What an iron wall. No, why are they so bright?! Aura?!"

The blackbird did not hesitate to think of the aura, which is said to be the natural radiance of archangels, saints, and holy teachers. They are all divine beings, so there is the Eucharistic light, which comes from the Holy Spirit.

The blackbird had no choice but to narrow her eyes, and she regained her composure before she regained her composure, realizing that those flashes of light came from the reflection of sunlight, but the reflection was too strong.

From a distance, New Roseburg appears gray and black as a whole, and the surrounding forests are similar in tone.

It was under this gloomy tone that Rurik stood on a long ship that was his flagship, and saw the heroic appearance of the capital clearly. It was also inexplicable, how could there be a shining band of light at the approximate location of the pier?

The soldiers were talking about it, and even Rurik didn't know what it was.

Until the ~www.mtlnovel.com~ fleet arrives at this pier by the river. The army will not dock at the wharf where the current is more turbulent, but go to the waterway directly south of it, and anchor and disembark collectively in this calm area.

Rurik stood up straight and saw everything clearly

It turned out to be a soldier!

The unprecedented sight made all the soldiers look sideways, and Rurik noticed that these soldiers put armor plates on all the defenseable parts of their bodies, especially the whole piece of cold-forged plate armor on the front.

wrong! Why? ! Even carbon steel won't be so bright!

"Kamne, this is the 500 sets of plate armor you prepared for me? Are you already mass-producing white steel? It's even brighter than my sword. How did you do it?!"

This is what Rurik can think of in an instant. If Kamne has already developed this technology and realized mass production, the future is boundless.

He couldn't wait to get ashore to find out why, this was a priority above all else.
