Chapter 40 White Steel Armor
After completing the purchase of supplies for the territory, Rhodes finally had time to consider his own equipment.

Both his and Noah's armor were damaged and needed to be purchased again.

"White steel armor." Rhodes flipped through the Chamber of Commerce's armor list and turned to the introduction of knight-level equipment.

I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw the price marked on the back.

40 gold coins per set, which is ten times the price of cavalry armor, and this is still the cheapest starting price.

White steel is a special steel made by mixing mithril into steel and using a unique metallurgical process.

Specially used for forging extraordinary equipment.

Whether it is smelting white steel or the means of processing white steel, it is difficult for humans to master it. It is a skill unique to dwarves.

This world is not home to only humans. Just east of the Principality of Northern Frost, in Ironforge, which was conquered by William thirty years ago, there lives a group of mountain dwarves.

And deep in the North, there is a royal court ruled entirely by dwarves, which is mysterious and powerful.

In Rhodes' memory, the Dwarf Royal Court had two well-known specialties - stainless steel and strong liquor.

They are best-sellers in the North and no one can resist the temptation of these two.

After Ironforge was incorporated into the kingdom, the Kingdom of Rosa also obtained many weapons and equipment made of white steel, but this does not prevent them from being extremely precious.

Although it is a first-level knight-level equipment, if you are not from a noble family.

Often only a small number of elite knights and extreme knights are qualified to possess it.

This is also where the Extreme Knight is truly powerful.

After wearing a full set of knight-level equipment, ordinary arrows and spears can hardly penetrate the defense.

Relying on the charge of his warhorse, the Extreme Knight can easily cut through the army. As long as he can maintain his mobility, a legion of a thousand people will not be able to do anything to him.

If the army's morale is crushed and its formation collapses due to fear, what follows is a complete massacre by the enemy.

But the premise of all this is that it is just a ragtag army of soldiers.

If it were replaced with the elite Rosa shield and spear formation, less than a hundred people would be needed, and the charge of the Extreme Knights would not be able to break through the battle formation.

Once the action is blocked, they will be surrounded and suppressed.

By then, their only outcome would be exhaustion and capture alive.

The above is an ideal situation. In a real battlefield, the Extreme Knight is not crazy and will not charge towards the army alone.

They were often followed by cavalry corps.

When the cavalry and infantry cooperate with each other and their numbers increase, what really determines victory or defeat on the battlefield is the legionary battle formation.

The 60 gold coins his father gave him were almost enough to buy a complete set of knight-level suits, plus the weapons and equipment for two knight attendants.

There would still be 10 gold coins left for travel expenses, Rhodes thought.

If he chose to join the royal Griffin Knights, he would probably be assigned to a safe outer area due to blood ties.

With a full set of knight-level equipment, the enemy's defense cannot be broken at all.

Even if you just hack away with your eyes closed, you can kill several barbarian soldiers.

Unfortunately, that was not the life he wanted. Rhodes shook his head and moved his eyes away from the white steel armor.

He has more important uses for his money and can't afford this for the time being.

So he used the old method and bought two sets of cavalry armor and a piece of white steel armor from the Chamber of Commerce.

He picked up the palm-sized piece of nail and looked at it in the sunlight.

The surface of the nail plate exudes a silver-gray metallic luster.

I will study it carefully when I get back. I have to master this core technology myself to feel at ease.

In Hekou Town, in the lord's castle.

The midday sun shines through the window and turns into a golden veil that drapes over the girl.

Ten-year-old Lucia stopped, stood in front of the window, and gently tiptoed.

She looked down from the castle and saw a procession of carriages coming up the main road of the town.

Lucia's eyes were focused on a flock of woolly sheep behind the carriage.

It was white and soft, reminding her of clouds in the sky. After noticing that one of the woolly sheep opened its mouth, Lucia couldn't help but open her mouth as well, making a cute sound.

"What?"

Bang! Suddenly, there was a loud bang as the wooden plate hit the ground.

The bouncing plate hit her arm, instantly causing a large red swelling.

Lucia's body trembled. The pain in her arm made her stiff and she dared not move, for fear of accidentally shedding tears.

"I asked you to bring the plate over, what are you doing!"

After those damn maids ran away, Flynn could no longer suppress her anger when she saw that her daughter dared to ignore her.

Flynn came over and pressed her daughter hard against the window, staring at her face with jealousy and hatred.

Lucia pursed her lips and closed her eyes. She knew that if she spoke, her mother would only get angrier.

"Why, why can't you!"

Staring at her daughter's delicate and exquisite face, her gorgeous red hair that was even more perfect than her.

Flynn reached out and touched her cheek. After feeling the roughness of the tiny scar, her expression gradually became abnormal.

The cold wind from the north left unconcealable blemishes on his face.

But no matter how long she left her daughter outside, exposed to the cold wind, her daughter's skin would always be as smooth as a baby's.

Why isn't that face hers!

"Damn Mansaru, he can only be a poor baron in this damn place and make me suffer! Damn Rossdale, a worthless knight, how dare he hurt my face!"

Flynn growled hysterically.

She picked up the table knife and placed it against her daughter's delicate cheek. When she thought of the scene that would follow, a twisted smile appeared on her face.

Feeling the cold touch on her cheek, Lucia did not resist, as if she was used to it.

She knew her mother wouldn't.

Because then Uncle Loren would be really mad.

Just when Lucia thought that her mother would tell her to get out like she did before after venting her anger.

next moment.

The knife cut through the delicate skin and the blood began to flow uncontrollably.

"Ha, ha, ha ha!"

Looking at her hands stained with blood, Flynn pushed her daughter to the ground.

She ignored the girl who was huddled on the ground and trembling, and laughed out loud like a madman.

"Ha, ha, ha, you thought you could take my place! Look, this is what happens to you!"

"And that damn Rossdale, I won't let him go! No! I will let him..."

Flynn's ferocious roar was suddenly cut off.

At this moment, she felt a suffocating feeling as if her neck was being strangled. She turned her head with difficulty, her eyes filled with fear.

"I'm right here." Rhodes stared at her coldly after entering the castle, and slowly exerted force with his palm, "Your knife is pointing at the wrong person."

"No, no, please, please."

The dinner knife slipped from Flynn's hand and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

She held Rhodes' arm with a pitiful and pleading look on her face.

He increased his strength, and with a crisp sound of bones breaking, Rhodes loosened his grip, letting Flynn's body fall to the ground.

Her eyes bulged in fear before death, filled with resentment and unwillingness.

"You should be glad to die in my hands now."

Death is the greatest mercy a wizard can bestow upon his enemies.

Rhodes stared at her body and felt such a strong sense of nausea for the first time.
