Chapter 689: Chapter 241: Iron Butcher Heavy Armor Horse Armor

Facing Lynn, Clive said with delight in his words, "Lord, you’re finally back."

Lynn nodded, "From Steward Kuisi’s words, I learned that Clive has completed the forging and assembly of the Heavy Padded Armor and Horse Armor."

"I came here early this morning."

Upon hearing this, Clive’s face showed a trace of embarrassment.

He explained, "Lord, the Heavy Padded Armor and Horse Armor have indeed been forged."

"However..."

Lynn said, "Scholar Clive, if there are any problems, feel free to speak."

Receiving Lynn’s affirmative response, Clive didn’t hesitate anymore.

He directly stated, "However, Lord, the Heavy Padded Armor and Horse Armor are just too heavy!"

"I had a guard attempt an initial try to wear it."

"Once he put it on, the Padded Armor weighing seventy pounds greatly restricted his mobility."

"Not to mention running or walking, even turning his body and lifting his weapon faced significant challenges."

Lynn responded without interrupting Clive’s continued words.

"Not only the Heavy Padded Armor but the Horse Armor is the same."

"Once the horse wore the Horse Armor, it seemed to be trapped in a quagmire, no matter how urged to accelerate, it only took steps to walk..."

At this point, Clive hesitated and said, "Lord, could it be that my design doesn’t fit reality?"

"If we could reduce the Padded Armor’s weight by half... no, even by a third!"

"Then soldiers and horses could move freely!"

Lynn said nothing, glancing at the Horse Armor on the horse led by the guard.

[Ordinary Horse Armor]: Made of iron materials, hard-textured, can effectively resist attacks from swords, guns, and arrows, providing reliable protection for horses, etc.

Sweeping his eyes over the text panel before him and then closing it.

Lynn’s gaze turned to a guard behind him.

"Go fetch Red’s warhorse!"

The guard responded and left the textile workshop, heading towards the castle.

Lynn’s gaze shifted towards Red, "You try the Padded Armor!"

Red responded accordingly, "Yes, my lord."

Stepped forward to where a set of Heavy Padded Armor was stacked not far away.

With the help of a Blacksmith Apprentice, he began wearing it.

After finishing the instructions, Lynn’s gaze turned to Clive.

"Scholar Clive, the Padded Armor must maintain a weight of seventy pounds, and the Horse Armor must also remain at fifty pounds!"

"Currently, the forging techniques are limited, unable to ensure the armor’s hardness while reducing its weight."

"Therefore, only sufficiently thick Padded Armor and Horse Armor can effectively resist these attacks."

"Meanwhile, armored cavalry typically undertake the task of breaking through the enemy’s front lines!"

"The heavier the Padded Armor and Horse Armor, the greater the impact during the charge!"

"Thus tearing open the enemy’s defense lines, creating conditions for subsequent troop attacks."

Lynn continued speaking.

"Since ordinary horses can’t adapt to the Horse Armor, let’s switch to the Badan Warhorses trained for strength and size."

"If guards struggle to move in Heavy Padded Armor, then let soldiers more burly and robust, trained over a long period!"

Upon hearing this, Clive nodded in understanding.

"Lord, I understand."

With the assistance of two Blacksmith Apprentices, Red first took off the Composite Armor he was wearing.

Then began wearing the Heavy Padded Armor piece by piece!

A few minutes later.

The guard led a group of Badan Pure-blood Warhorses over.

In the busy work of several Blacksmith Apprentices, they began fitting Horse Armor on the warhorses.

Time swiftly passed.

Until half an hour later.

With two Iron Helmets, surrounded by fringes on all sides, only revealing the eyes, neck equipped with a Neck Guard, body covered by numerous armor plates sewn into Padded Armor, Red.

He walked heavily towards Lynn.

With each step, the fall of his feet was accompanied by the sound of armor parts rubbing and colliding.

Lynn merely glanced at him.

Red gave him an impression like an iron tower.

Sturdy and stable, indestructible!

After scanning Red from top to bottom, Lynn asked, "How do you feel?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

From beneath the two helmets, came Red’s low voice.

"The sense of weight pressure is more apparent than Composite Armor, but still within my tolerance."

Red tried moving his body slightly, and the sound of collisions became more distinct.

He explained, "Limb movements are manageable, but overall agility is greatly restricted, requiring more effort."

Lynn nodded slightly.

Red continued, "Besides that, the breathability is poor."

"If engaging in excessive activities, there will be a lot of sweat, unable to dry and expel effectively, leading to stuffy discomfort."

"Maintaining this state for a long time will reduce combat effectiveness and physical condition."

Lynn responded, looked towards the guard behind him, and said, "Bring the warhorse over!"

The guard immediately led the warhorse forward.

The Badan Pure-blood Warhorse at this moment, also fully covered in Horse Armor.

Compared to the previous ordinary horse, its contour looked much larger.

But its steps were strong and even, not affected by the Horse Armor in the least.

There was no need for Lynn to remind him.

Red turned his heavy body, facing the warhorse.

He held the saddle with both hands, and placed his left foot on the stirrup.

As his left leg bent, exerting force suddenly, he flipped up, his right leg crossing the horse’s back.

With the help of two guards, Red sat stably on the horse’s back.
