Start your adventure from Pirate World

After leaving Xianjinyi, after a day of repairs, some information about Jiatiecheng was sorted out, and the situation was not optimistic.

Because Kabane's sudden attack caused everyone to flee in a hurry, the armored city did not prepare sufficient supplies. There was a shortage of all kinds of things, which could not support the consumption of everyone in the armored city before arriving at Konganguo.

The only good thing is that because Noel brought a group of rice transport trucks, the food is the most abundant among the supplies, and there is no need to worry about food problems in the short term.

However, in the face of the huge population in the Iron Fortress, even sufficient food must be saved as much as possible.

During the day, Kuchi Laisu approached Noel. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally chose to ask Noel a question.

"Sir Noel, how do you think using a sword to fight Kabane compares with using a barrel gun to fight?"

Looking at Noel's tall body and the exaggerated long knife placed aside, he added:

"I mean by people like me, ah, not me, just a friend of mine who wanted to know."

Hearing this classic quotation, Noel almost laughed out loud, but he still held it back, and then thought carefully:

"Hmm... Although I don't know much about the so-called barrel gun, judging from the shooting of the samurai last night, it seems that its power is not enough to penetrate Kabane's heart at a long distance, right?"

Jiuzhilaixi nodded and said:

"That's right, so during battle, you need to wait for Kabane to enter a certain range before shooting will be effective."

Moreover, after putting Kabane within a certain range, if the opponent cannot be killed with one shot, it is likely to turn into a close-faced output between the two parties.

"In that case, in my opinion, there is not much difference between using a gun or a knife. People who are better at using guns can use guns, and people who are better at using swords can use swords."

In fact, although Kabane's diaphragm that wraps his heart is described as being like steel, it is not steel after all. As long as he is a slightly trained warrior, he should be able to pierce Kabane's heart with a stab with a long knife.

After talking about this topic, Noll paused and asked:

"Actually, don't you think the issue of defense is more concerning than the issue of weapons?"

"defense?"

"I have been thinking about a question before, why don't you wear armor when facing Kabane?"

"Armor?"

Kuchi Laisu was stunned when asked.

"Yes, although Kabane's physical fitness is higher than that of humans, its attack methods are nothing more than biting and scratching to cause wounds. This simple and primitive attack method can be effectively defended by equipping armor on key parts. , this should reduce the casualty rate a lot, right?"

"What's more, if a person's physical strength can support a full body armor, then he is basically invincible to Kabane, right?"

Noel talked eloquently.

Of course, for ordinary people, if they are acting alone, the armor may slow down a person's speed, which may lead to being surrounded by zombies and being followed by dogs, but this is not a problem for warriors fighting in a team.

Therefore, armor is indeed a very good choice for warriors.

Although Kuchi Laisu was a little confused at first, after listening to Noel's explanation, he suddenly felt that this was indeed the case.

With the armor, it can indeed effectively prevent being bitten or scratched by Kabane, and it is more conducive to fighting Kabane. In this way, there is no psychological burden even if you use a sword.

But why hasn't anyone thought of it before?

Thinking of this, he suddenly recalled the accusation that the young man named Ikoma had made to them at the inn, saying that they only had fear of Kabane.

Maybe that's true, that's why no one thought about the issue of armor, because no one really thought about how to fight Kabane, they just wanted to escape.

but--

"Thank you, Lord Noel, for your advice. I will discuss this matter with Lord Chang Pu as soon as possible!"

Kuchiraisu solemnly bowed to Noel and thanked him.

Although there were indeed the kind of people he said among the samurai, he believed that there would also be people who sincerely wanted to fight Kabane.

In any case, the idea proposed by Noel made a very significant contribution to the fight against Kabane, and he thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

"It's okay. Anyway, I can feel more relaxed now that everyone has become stronger."

Noel waved his hands and smiled.

Suddenly, Jiuzhi Laisu thought of another question:

"By the way, since the role of armor is so important, why aren't you wearing armor?"

Noel replied: "Because I don't need it."

"......excuse me."

I almost forgot that the person in front of me couldn't be measured by ordinary people's standards.

After the exchange between the two was almost finished, it was time for lunch.

"It's time to eat! One for each person, and there will be more in the evening!"

The steam craftsman girl Hachi who originally worked with Ikoma is now working as a handyman in Kotetsu Castle. Having such a young and beautiful girl in her prime who is active in front of and behind also makes the atmosphere in Kotetsu Castle soothing. few.

Lunch is food similar to rice dumplings or rice balls, only the size of a fist, wrapped in steamed cloth and string, and distributed to everyone one by one.

Not to mention the taste, such a fist-sized rice ball is obviously only enough to meet the most basic survival needs for many adults. Many people secretly complain, "This is not enough!" '

When we arrived at the carriage where the samurai were, the samurai who were tasked with fighting Kabane were able to receive two such rice balls, which was better than civilians.

Noel, on the other hand, is different from everyone else and enjoys special treatment.

"Is dinner ready? Thank you!"

Noel casually grabbed seven or eight rice balls from the basket. Loach looked at it with heartache and couldn't help but said:

"Although Lord Noel, you can eat as much as you like, but wasting it is absolutely not allowed!"

"Don't worry, it won't be wasted!"

Noel assured with a smile and took two more.

Seeing that Noel finally stopped, Loach quickly ran away with the rice ball in his arms, fearing that Noel would continue to take it. His worried look made Noel dumbfounded.

This was the agreement he made with Sifangchuan Changpu yesterday. He would leave the food to the other party and he would be able to eat until he was full.

After peeling off the steamed cloth outside, this size of Noel is just enough for one bite, and two or three can be eaten in an instant.

The taste is neither good nor bad, just a little salty rice with scattered chopped vegetables mixed in.

At this time, Kuchiraisu was so preoccupied with armor that he didn't care about eating at all. He just took his own portion and hurriedly set off to find Sikagawa Iris and discuss equipping the samurai with armor. .

"Ah——! Kabane is coming in!"

Suddenly, screams and commotion came from the back compartment of the Iron Fortress. Noel walked towards the incident with a rice ball in his arms. It turned out that Wuming and Ikoma had broken into the compartment where people lived for some reason, and everyone around them retreated. When they got to the carriage, they looked at them in horror.

Noel walked over and asked, "What's going on again?"

Wuming patrolled the surroundings vigilantly:

"I smell Kabane."
