What pleased Lynn was that after walking around the storage area a few times, he didnât feel any sense of constraint from the armor.
Lynn moved, pushing the visor on the helmet upward, "Flint, I recall you didnât measure me?"
Flint, who had been standing by his side, spoke calmly, "My Lord, as a Master Blacksmith..."
"My eyes are the measure!"
Looking at Flint, who was hardly waist-high, putting on airs as an expert.
Lynn couldnât help but roll his eyes.
However.
Lynn also understood that Flint had his reasons for being proud!
With a swift move, Lynn drew the one-handed sword from his waist.
Swoosh~
The sound of metal scraping against metal echoed.
Flint, who had been standing with his eyes slightly closed, arms crossed, started in surprise, quickly opening his eyes and stepping back two paces in retreat.
All the mystique from earlier instantly dissipated.
Seeing Flintâs expression, the corner of Lynnâs mouth lifted slightly.
Lynn struck a pose, brandishing the one-handed sword in his hand.
Sometimes stabbing, sometimes slashing, sometimes blocking...
There was still no sense of constraint or heaviness!
Sheathing the one-handed sword, Lynn praised, "Very excellent armor!"
Hearing Lynnâs praise, Flint said with pride, "Of course."
"This is a scale armor with chain liner made by Master Flint, it must be top quality!"
Lynn nodded, looking at Flint, he said, "Master Flint, I need a thousand sets of this lightweight scale armor with chain liner!"
The standard plate armor cast from the sandbox can be used for heavy cavalry or heavy infantry.
The scale armor with chain liner forged by Flint, because of its lightness, can fully equip light cavalry!
Form a unit of elite light cavalry.
Heavy cavalry is used for powerful assaults, breaking through enemy defenses, and so on.
While light cavalry, with their advantage of high mobility, can conduct area patrols, harassment and raids, tactical maneuvering, and communications.
They can even chase down remnants that heavy cavalry cannot catch!
Light cavalry is just as important as heavy cavalry.
Hearing Lynnâs words, Flint, who was previously full of pride, was suddenly surprised.
"A thousand sets?"
"My... Lord, are you preparing for a rebellion with so many sets?"
Lynn didnât speak, he just looked at Flint calmly.
Flintâs thick eyebrows immediately rose.
Though Lynn said nothing, Flint already understood the implication.
Flint furrowed his eyebrows, which were almost connected into one.
He muttered, "My Lord, if itâs only a few dozen sets, relying on my own strength, I could finish it within a month or two."
"A thousand sets... itâs very difficult!"
Lynn nodded slightly, "I understand this, hence I didnât set a deadline for you."
"However, after next autumnâs harvest, I want to see these thousand sets of scale armor with chain liner!"
Now Flint was just like Lynn at the very beginning of forging plate armor.
There wasnât much difference.
By relying on the knowledge gained from âHeavenly Artifactsâ, he forged and crafted plate armor himself.
However, forging a set of plate armor himself took him at least half a month.
Even though the blacksmith workshop already had several hundred blacksmith apprentices, they still couldnât help at all.
Forging armor doesnât just require brute force.
It requires forging skills!
Lynn continued, "Thatâs why I assigned you a Blacksmith Workshop and two hundred blacksmith apprentices."
"I need you to teach them your excellent forging skills. Once they learn, forging a thousand sets will be easy!"
Flint didnât speak, seemingly deep in thought and hesitating over something.
Even Flint began pacing up and down the storage area.
Several minutes later.
Flint stopped in front of Lynn and said, "I can promise you, my lord."
"However..."
Lynnâs lips curled into a smile, "Name your terms!"
Flint said without hesitation, "The daily supply of alcohol needs to be doubled!"
Lynn was slightly surprised.
Previously, he promised Flint a barrel of beer a day, and he would handle all the armor and weapon needs in the future.
Now, getting him to train the apprentices and produce a thousand sets of armor.
Itâs just two barrels of beer?
A barrel of beer is three hundred pounds, which equates to one hundred pounds of barley, and five pounds of barley is one penny...
Setting aside the time and labor involved in brewing, the daily payment to Flint is just twenty pence!
For twenty pence, you can get a master blacksmith to forge armor and weapons.
Also, the master blacksmith will train apprentices, allowing the territory to gain more blacksmiths...
Itâs a deal that profits without loss!
Lynn nodded, "As you wish, Master Flint."
"From today on, two barrels of beer will be delivered to your residence every day!"
"Furthermore, I can have Lex send some distilled spirits to your place."
Flintâs eyes lit up, "Distilled spirits?"
Lynn replied, "The alcohol content is very high, and itâs quite potent!"
Flint was immediately interested, "Very potent? Then I must try it!"
Lynn said, "Of course, after todayâs work is finished, come find me, and Iâll take you to try it."
After speaking a few more words with Flint, Lynn took off his armor, had it sent to his residence at the Red Brick House, and walked out of the Blacksmith Workshop.
