Chapter 47: The Perfect War Armor

  "This is simply an existence as perfect as a conductor of an orchestra!"

  Lingyun was overjoyed when she found out that Xiaoka had magical control abilities after returning from the Spirit Forest.

  When Liú Yún was hugging Xiǎo Kǎ and laughing loudly, Xiǎo Kǎ felt annoyed: "I just casually put a few magic spells together, do I need to be so excited?" The young man had no idea how much his appearance helped Liú Yún, who lacked advanced magicians.

  "My goodness! I just picked up a treasure while casually picking something on the side of the road!" Liú Yún felt that her character was quite good.

  "Card Uncle, I'll think of a way to get some Moonlight Spring water. We must satisfy Little Card's needs and let him fully enhance his magic control abilities!"

  Lao Ka's mood was also exceptionally good. After returning from the Spirit Forest, he gradually broke through the bottleneck of a high-level magician and one foot had already stepped into the door of a magic master. Who would have thought that the dream he had been pursuing all his life would suddenly come true in the days of fooling around with Liu Yun?

  Good news came one after another. The Elf Forest soon sent over two hundred sets of battle armor forged by the Dwarf Clan and a batch of standard military knives.

  Before escorting the equipment to Eagle Academy, in addition to the fifty elf archers promised by the Elf tribe, there was also a group of dwarf casting masters. The arrival of these dwarves made Liú Yún somewhat unexpected, fearing that they would stir up new trouble.

  "Dwarves are a tribe, and their pursuit of casting is forever fanatical. Your design drawings have broadened our horizons, and we hope that in the days of following you, we will still have the opportunity to cast even more perfect armor and weapons." A sentence from Roger, the dwarven master craftsman, dispelled Liu Yun's confusion.

  "Oh, so it's a group of enthusiastic blacksmiths! Free labor that doesn't cost money, I like it! You just want to forge iron, I'll satisfy you." Flowing Cloud thought mischievously.

  "Report!" Xi Po arrived at Liu Yun's room with several squadron leaders.

  "Come in."

  "Head, you're looking for us?" Pushing open the door and entering, Hipbo and several others' gazes were drawn to the several sets of battle armor placed on the table.

  "Come and try it."

  The black armor is soft and light to the touch. The armor consists of four parts: helmet, jacket, pants, and boots. Each part is tightly connected by some buckles. On top of the helmet, there is a sharp protrusion, and the eyes are covered with two thin crystals. There are two pockets on both sides of the jacket for storing small items (such as flying needles, climbing claws, and assassin's powder). Two daggers can also be inserted into the boots.

  The outer layer of the war armor is made from magical beast skin that has been treated with potion and specially crafted by dwarves, making it almost indistinguishable from iron armor. The innermost layer is a cold-resistant layer woven from snow-white threads, while the middle layer is an electrically conductive mesh formed from fine metal wires.

  "Mother's, if we replace the metal wire with spider silk, wouldn't this become an invincible treasure armor?" While instructing team members to wear battle armor, Flow Cloud suddenly realized that if they used better metal materials, the metal layer would also greatly increase the defensive capabilities of the battle armor.

  Xipo and several squadron leaders put on their armor and excitedly stroked their new clothes up and down.

  "Wow, this armor is really light and doesn't affect speed at all!" Ah Xiu happily ran a few steps in the room.

  "Heh heh, I can still bring quite a few tricks of the trade." Shui Han inserted the dagger into his boot and began to study the pockets on his armor with great interest.

  "Head, so thin, so light, how's its defensive power?" Hibou asked.

  Liu Yun didn't say a word, drew out the "Bēn Yuè" from his waist and slashed it at Xi Bo. With a dull thud, Xi Bo's face showed a painful expression, but there was no wound on his body.

  "'Swords and spears can't penetrate?' Tie Lie exclaimed in surprise."

  "Don't dream on. Even if you encounter the strongest swordsmen, their aura will still easily pierce through you." Liú Yún said calmly, "I had this suit of armor made for you to help you survive better, not to teach you to be arrogant."

  Then, Liú Yún took a few people to the magic training field and tested the anti-magic properties. Lǎo Kǎ and ā Lěi together cast some intermediate-level magic spells, all of which were perfectly blocked by the war armor, and the damage caused by the high-level magic was also greatly reduced.

  Looking at Old Card and Are's astonished faces, a sense of pride arose on the faces of Hipokte's people, in addition to their delight.

  "It can be said that from now on, we are the natural enemies of magicians."

  "Yes, Uncle Card's explosive headbutt technique doesn't work this time."

  "Hmm, and the Bird Sage's move also didn't have a place to be used."

  "From now on, once we step onto the battlefield, all mages are nothing but targets in front of us."

  "After meeting fellow practitioners in the future, we can also show off our skills!"

  At this time, a large bucket of cold water was poured over his head.

  "Damn it, don't think that just because you wear your underwear on the outside, you're damn Superman!"

  Looking at the several arrogant people in front of him, Liuyun furiously roared.

  "You few rabbit kids, are all commanders now, but still don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth. What is this set of armor? It's your last lifeline! Following me for so long, haven't learned to hide good things, and instead show off at critical moments? Go ahead and be arrogant, I bet, whoever is most arrogant will die first!"

  Just now still spirited and vigorous, several people who seemed to be on top of the world were suddenly struck dumb by a blow from Liu Yun.

  "Yes, now you're facing swordsmen and mages below advanced level, all of whom will have the ability to save their lives. But on the battlefield, one person's strength can't change the course of battle, so you must teach every student how to survive! Now, go roll out equipment for your fellow brothers-in-arms, then tell each of them: Staying alive is stronger than anything else, and there are plenty of chances to turn things around."

  Liu Yun said coldly. These two hundred people are his only capital, and he doesn't want them to all become arrogant and die heroically later on.

  Several people, after hearing Liu Yun's words, ran away in a flurry, like a fire burning their tails.

  For the sake of Liuyun, Xi Po and several deputy commanders later conveyed to the students: "As long as the head gives an order, every one of us can go die! However, without his command, your life is more precious than anyone else's! When you can't win, run for your life. Escaping is not shameful, keeping your life is what matters, and there are many opportunities to win!"

  "It seems that my guard can finally be formed." Liú Yún stood in front of the window, looking at the students on the playground who were busy receiving their equipment, and sighed softly.

  "Come have a bowl of mung bean porridge to cool down, it's such a hot day and you've been busy all morning."

  A gentle voice sounded, and Liú Yún knew it was Shuǐ Líng'ér who had arrived.

  "Ling'er, you're weak, so don't exhaust yourself for me every day."

  The cloud floated away, and he reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

  The little water spirit stood still without moving, her face just turned red again.

  She picked up the porridge and took a sip, surprisingly it was cool, obviously it had been cooled for a long time after being cooked. It was refreshing to drink, extremely comfortable, and Liu Yun couldn't help but smile wryly: "This girl is really thoughtful."

  A pair of soft and boneless small hands gently massaged his shoulders, as if to drive away the fatigue from his body.

  Outside the window, the wind blows by, and the leaves dance with the wind.

  Is it the wind moving, or is it my heart?

  The flowing clouds happily closed their eyes.
