Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 1068: Chapter 158: The Territory’s Rise in Power and Legendary Armor Ambitions (Part 2)

Su Li simply gave a gentle smile and waved his hand: ”Uncle Jeff, all uncles, brothers, and cousin Suna, you’ve traveled far and have just arrived at the Hesse Territory. You should take this day to rest and recuperate. It’s not urgent to help out just yet.”

He stood up, clapped his hands, and the attendants immediately stepped forward to clear the cups and plates.

”However,” Su Li shifted his tone and scanned the crowd, ”now that everyone is here in my territory, as family, I must show some goodwill. How about this, if you want to rest right away, you can find my Minister of the Seal, who will arrange comfortable accommodations for everyone. If you feel energetic enough, why not follow me to the Vault Area? I’ll give each of you a set of weapons and armor as a meeting gift from a brother or younger generation, hoping it can assist you as an arm in your future journey.”

Before his words fell, Suna’s eyes instantly lit up like two brilliant stars. She immediately stood up, her voice carrying a hint of excitement: ”I’m not tired, Cousin Su Li! I want to go with you! Back at Bauhinia Castle, I’ve often heard Knight Commander Connor and the others praise the unmatched quality of weapons and armor produced in Hesse Territory, and I’ve long wanted to see them myself!”

Other knights, including Old Jeff and Carl, also stood up, showing no sign of fatigue from the long journey, each spirited and replying robustly:

”After this hearty spiritual food, I feel full of strength, strong enough to punch a bull to death!”

”Exactly! Young Master Suli, please take us to see it!”

”Yes! No rush to rest, let’s see what wonderful things you have first!”

Their eyes were filled with eagerness and anticipation. In the knightly world, a set of superior weapons and armor holds as much significance and allure as the previous meal of exquisite flavors, if not more so. After all, they are companions that will accompany them to live and die, protect life, and achieve success.

Looking at the crowd’s rising enthusiasm, Su Li nodded: ”Alright, then follow me.”

The high-walled fortress of the Vault Area is just below Bauhinia Castle, and he led the crowd through the castle’s sturdy corridors, downward, the air gradually becoming dry and cool. The heavy Aurore gold gate was slow to open under the guard’s operation, revealing the passage to the underground Vault Area. The walls of the passageway were inlaid with luminous fluorite, illuminating the way.

When the second, even heavier gate opened, a mixture of metal, grease, and a faint magical aura rushed upon them. The sight before them was expansive.

It was a massive and orderly warehouse. Rows of sturdy metal shelves neatly aligned, like a silent soldier formation. On the shelves were bundles of standardized long lances, cold gleaming sharp swords, heavy solid shields, and meticulously maintained, gleaming bright armors - from light chain armor to body-covering heavy plate armor, all fully equipped. The sheer quantity and superior armament made even Old Jeff, who was used to the Bauhinia Castle ordnance depot, gasp.

More striking was the faint runic glow over many equipment surfaces. The enchantment runes on the metal were occasionally visible, shining golden lights. Evidently, what was stored here was not ordinary military equipment but truly exquisite enchanted gear!

Su Li walked to a section specially storing knight equipment, gesturing to the guard to fetch the goods. ”Everyone gets a complete set, including full-body plate armor, a primary weapon, a backup shortsword, a lance, and a kite shield. They are the latest batch of enchanted standardized equipment from our Hesse Territory workshop. Although not as perfect as custom-made rare level, on defense, sturdiness, and resistance to darkness and chaotic energy, they far surpass the excellent equipment of other territories.”

The guards quickly began distributing, the collision of heavy armor plates and weapons emitting crisp and pleasant metal sounds.

When the weighty, subtly magical glowing armor and the cold sharp weapons were truly handed to each family knight, feeling the solid weight and the contained power, all prior anticipation transformed into immense surprise and amazement.

Old Jeff touched the streamlined, exquisitely joint-worked gilded plate armor in his hand, feeling the subtle warmth from the protection rune engraved on the inner layer of the armor plates, his voice somewhat trembling: ”This... the intensity of this enchantment... this craftsmanship... Young Master Su Li, your ’meeting gift’... is too precious!” He’s seen good stuff, but such large-scale, high-quality enchanted standard equipment reserves, this is the first time seeing. The productivity and technological accumulation behind it all stunned him.

Carl attempted to swing the allocated longsword, the blade cutting through the air with a deep hum, the sword’s glow flowing along the blade. ”What a sword! Perfect balance, sharp yet reserved, with added breaking evil attributes! This... this sword is no worse than many of our knight commanders’ swords in Bauhinia Castle!” His eyes were full of amazement and affection.

Su Li smiled, that was certainly the case. These weapons were thoroughly repaired and manufactured by the dwarves after the war at Hesse Territory, many materials derived from melting and reforging of battle spoils.

Utilizing resources such as the Moon Crown Tree flower, Embers, and Fire Spike Crystal, you could say this latest batch of armaments here represents the highest production level of Hesse Territory!
