Chapter 2992

Fragile elves wearing this leather armor have survivability comparable to heavy infantry under other lords.

Awesome.

The production time for leather armor is roughly half that of iron armor, about three times that of fashion clothing.

Actually, it's not bad.

This fragment of the Taiyi Wheel still has over ten hours left; Zhao Chi is confident he can fully understand it within these dozens of hours.

Simultaneously, he will write out all his crafting insights in full.

Then assign some female tailors to begin producing this type of leather armor.

Zhao Chi himself has no time to make it.

He must work with Zhuang Ya to produce as many elven bows as possible.

At the very least, they must fully equip all their elves.

When the time comes, having elves wield elven bows will grant them astonishing ranged projection capability.

When facing tough enemies, then deploy the Eternal humans.

The fashion clothing supply is now extremely abundant.

Zhao Chi's workshop continuously supplies Yao Feng with high-quality and good-quality fashion clothing.

Zhao Chi has already reserved two complete sets of every type of high-quality fashion clothing for all female soldiers.

Meanwhile, he has fully equipped Su Qin's twenty thousand female elves.

Even the one hundred thousand female slave laborers in his domain have been fully outfitted with complete sets of fashion clothing.

All are high-quality.

Even the flower spirits.

The fashion clothing situation has been greatly enriched.

Li Ruanyu and Shangguan Ting have also been fully equipped; Zhao Chi has set aside a portion specifically for Lu Yi and Wei Li, but since the domain's connection point is with Yao Feng, Zhao Chi follows Yao Feng everywhere and has had no chance to give them theirs.

This time, returning to Tieqiao Village, he can give them theirs.

As for equipment.

These past days, Zhao Chi has produced a large batch of staffs, enough for each female soldier of the Si and Nuan clans to have five to six pieces—more than sufficient.

All are made from third-rank wood; there is no need to take wood from Fuyao for now.

Zhao Chi asked Fuyao; she now has only her tree core as fourth-rank, while the rest of her exterior is third-rank wood.

But inside the tree core is fourth-rank.

If Zhao Chi wants it, she will immediately strip it out, though it will cause her some injury.

Zhao Chi of course will not take it.

Fuyao is now of paramount importance; she must not suffer even the slightest injury.

Fourth-rank wood can only produce fourth-rank staffs; the enhancement effect is real, but it does not alter the essence—third-rank is sufficient for now.

Perhaps when Fuyao becomes her complete form, her ordinary branches will become fourth-rank.

There is no rush now.

Now, the priority is ensuring Fuyao fully and stably converts all Eternal races.

Besides staffs, metal weapons have also been produced in sufficient quantity.

Even the spares are enough.

Heavy weapons like Fengming Dao, Zhuiyue Qiang, and Liyu Hammer are sufficient for at least two sets per female soldier.

Of course, all are high-quality.

Six thousand sets of high-quality Xuannü armor have been completed, and five thousand sets are good-quality.

After tomorrow, the blacksmiths' productivity will increase dramatically—by at least three times… no, four times.

With this speed, every soldier can be fully equipped with high-quality Xuannü armor before battle.

The only current shortfall is elven bows.

There are three thousand high-quality elven bows and two thousand five hundred good-quality ones, totaling five thousand five hundred.

After all, elves were never treated as main forces, nor even as secondary races.

Greater effort must be applied going forward.

Armor can wait, but weapons must come first.

Also, butterfly blades can be produced in quantity.

Besides Shangguan Ting and Wei Li, many allied troops are also suitable for butterfly blades.

But Zhao Chi has little time to manage others—only fulfilling Shangguan Ting and Wei Li's needs is enough.

The remaining time will be devoted entirely to crafting elven bows.

As for leather armor, let it take its natural course.

Let the tailors make as much as they can before battle.

After all, compared to leather armor, elven bows are the priority.

"My lord, they're all dressed. Please take a look."

Qi Yue's words interrupted Zhao Chi's thoughts.

Zhao Chi turned to look.

Qi Yue was wearing the newly made complete Nightingale Armor.

Zhao Chi was slightly surprised.

This Nightingale Armor did not look like traditional leather armor.

Nor did it resemble the more revealing fashion clothing armor.

It looked more like a bodysuit...

Her entire body was tightly wrapped in the leather armor; once donned, her figure was laid bare.

It was practically as if she wasn't wearing anything...

This armor clung to her body as if it were her own skin.

The Nightingale Armor wasn't dyed yet; it was still white.

After Qiyue put it on, it felt much like Tang Ruan's experience of condensing jade armor while naked, but even more form-fitting.

It looked completely non-rigid, practically like a close-fitting soft leather bodysuit.

Standard Nightingale Armor needs to be dyed black so it can be protected by color as well.

It can be dyed later.

By then, it would truly look like an assassin's gear.

It was form-fitting, tight, and black all at once.

If hidden in a tree, wouldn't it be very hard for enemies to spot?

No wonder it's called Nightingale Armor.

Zhao Chi recalled what Yao Feng had just said: this kind of armor is usually worn by scouts.

Therefore, this armor is extremely form-fitting, compressing the body's surface area as much as possible to avoid detection by enemies.

The shield wasn't large; it was an oval hand shield.

It could be strapped to the forearm, not occupying a whole hand.

When enemy arrows struck, one only needed to raise the forearm to block them; it was quite agile.

This was also a major advantage of light armor.

So an elven female archer could equip both a bow and a shield simultaneously, with no conflict at all.

That was truly thoughtful.

The helmet didn't completely cover the face; it was like a small hat.

Like those stewardess hats.

Of the full set of Nightingale Armor, only the hat gave the impression of fashionable armor.

Wearing this helmet left the face exposed, yet when attacked, it would still consume the helmet's durability rather than striking the face directly.

Not bad.

It combined practicality and aesthetics.

Very good.

"Come closer to me; let me feel it."

"Oh."
