Chapter 65 Magic Weapons

When Egil heard Saladin say this, he almost thought he was crazy. He mocked the weapons of the Norman Empire? What kind of confidence did this guy say this? Now the Norman Empire's metal forging technology and casting technology have reached the early stage of the Renaissance. Whether it is armor or weapons, they are all exquisite and durable. The weapons produced by Norman are now sought after among the continental countries.

Take the current high-end equipment board chain composite armor that is universal in Europe. A complete, new, flawless board chain composite armor made by Italian armor masters requires 80 Norman gold to ensure the cost. The Holy Roman Empire, or the Kingdom of France, requires more than 110 Norman gold coins. However, the Norman Empire only requires 60 Norman gold coins thanks to the new casting technology and steelmaking skills. The price is a little more than half of that of France or Holy Roman. It is two-thirds of that of Italy. It is also better than the first two. Although this is not a happy thing for the various kingdom governments. However, it is a good thing for other wealthy classes - feudal lords, nobles, knights and wealthy merchants. Because they can spend less money to arm themselves.

Now, Egil thinks that the metal forging technology of his empire is ahead of the world. No one can match it. He has always believed this. However, at this time, Saladin said that this is nothing at all. Egil feels that his mood is not angry at this moment. But a little ridiculous, two sympathy and three sarcasm, and the feeling of being mixed together. I refuse this, making Egil look at Saladin as if he was an idiot.

Seeing that Egil was completely disbelief, Saladin didn't argue and said directly: "You're ready!" Then he took out a scarf from his pocket and threw it into the sky. Then he pulled out his own knife---

"What do you want to do?!" Seeing Saladin pull out the knife, Egil immediately became much more cautious and looked at Saladin with caution. On the other side, the Norman Knights, who were already nervous, also beat their hearts to their throats and stared at Saladin's knife. The archer Robin Hood had already set his bow and set his sights on Saladin, and waited for him to let go and shoot him.

However, Saladin actually did not want to fight. As a "moral model" and "knight model", Saladin naturally would not let people catch his handle like this. He just put the knife across with the blade facing upwards and placed it under the slowly falling scarf on the side.

Immediately afterwards, something unimaginable happened--the scarf paused for less than a second after falling on Saladin's blade. Immediately afterwards, it was cut into two pieces by the blade!

"How sharp!"

"What material is it made of?"

"That pattern...unseen before!"

"Is it the witchcraft of the pagan devil? Or alchemy?"

The Norman Knights in the front rows were stunned. Immediately afterwards, they looked at the exquisitely patterned steel knives in Saladin's hand and talked about it. But no one could tell what was going on.

Egilmer took a moment, dismounted, then took two steps forward, picked up the two scarves on the ground under Saladin's gaze, pulled them a little hard, and stroked the cut edge of the scarf...

It looks like there is no problem...

"The legendary... Damascus scimitar?" Egil couldn't help thinking in his heart as he looked at the scimitar in Saladin's hand. He then looked back and stared at the scimitar in Saladin's hand, ready to draw his sword and fight back at any time---in this way, he retreated next to his war horse.

"How, great Norman Emperor?" Saladin asked in a little proud tone: "Now, do you have any thoughts about the weapons you rely on? Do you still think your poor swords will be opponents of the Islamic world?"

"Don't say it too early." Egil snorted lightly, then threw the two scarves to the ground, and then removed the plate armor he was using now on the steel wrist guard accessories in his left hand. Then he threw the wrist guard high like Saladin. At this moment, the Arabs and Normans, thousands of eyes were all staring at the wrist guard high that Egil threw - the soldiers were incredible in their hearts: "Does the emperor want to cut the wrist guard open like that pagan? It's impossible?!" Saladin cut off the silk opposite, and it can be said that the blade was so sharp that it was incredible-but this wrist guard--this is completely different!

On the other hand, the Arabs were also talking, and they could not imagine that the other party would make such unexpected actions---the so-called "Damascus steel knife" in Saladin's hands many Arab nobles knew what was going on----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the real world, this kind of steel was exhausted in the 17th century. In ancient China, it also traded with Persia this kind of steel knife. At that time, it was called "Bannai" in Persian. Later, it was changed to "Bannai". Liao was proud of being able to produce this kind of iron, and used it as the name of the country. Later, the Jin Dynasty could also forge it alone. Mongolia conquered and destroyed countless countries. It focused on recruiting craftsmen. It also set up a special Iron Bureau to create the so-called Damascus steel knife - those novels that were often claimed to be "a few hundred kilograms of iron" before the Tang and Song dynasties. Next time you see it, you can shave it.

Cao Zhao of the Ming Dynasty also recorded in detail the characteristics of iron products. "The iron is made from the Western Band of the Iron, with spiral patterns on it, and sesame and snowflakes. Any sword and sword are polished and used to use gold silk and alum, and the flowers are worth too silver. The ancient saying is that the iron is strong as gold, and the counterfeit is black flowers, so it is better to identify them carefully... There was a iron scissor that was made very skillfully, with flowers on the outside and gold-plated characters on the inside."

These swords are both hard and soft, extremely sharp and will not rust at the same time. The surface is covered with special exquisite patterns. Even among the Arab nobles, few people can be equipped with such exquisite weapons - even if they are noble like Saladin, they will be happy for a long time to get a good Uzi steel knife - the Caliph does have a number of Uzi steel knives that are far more than ordinary people. But the number will never exceed a thousand. Even if the Uzi steel knives owned by other Muslim nobles, these equipment will not exceed five thousand.

In addition, although these steel knives are extremely sharp, they are very helpful for cutting human body, fiber fabrics, and leather armor. However, they are still powerless to do anything about iron armor. The sub-weapons of most heavily armored cavalry are still heavy and have armor-breaking capabilities.

These Arab nobles sneered secretly--if Egil also cut a scarf like Saladin, those people might have been more nervous. However, Egil threw an armor piece two millimeters thick into the sky, and the edge was specially strengthened, with a steel wrist guard with a millimeter-thick steel ring. Even if this mud horse was chopped with a two-handed axe, it might not be able to be chopped in half----

It was said late, and then it was fast. In fact, at that time, Muslims and Christians had just had such a thought in their hearts--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---The next moment, everyone heard the sound of "Dang!" and the sound of metal and iron mixed together. After calming down, the thousands of troops were all surprised!

----Egil, Egil Scadragrimson's scattered sword was already in his hand, and he thrust forward, his left leg bow-shaped right leg straightened, and his hand pierced the iron wrist guard--and it was two layers! The tip of the knife pierced from one side and then from the other side. This was equivalent to directly penetrate the four-mm thick steel plate!

"!!!"

A kind of knight, noble, and cavalry were speechless. The shock caused by Saladin's cut off the scarf had already disappeared at this moment--Egil pierced the wrist guards in the air with a knife, almost unresisting. Such tricks, such skills, and such treasure swords have completely surpassed everyone's imagination! People had the intention to talk quietly before. However, at this moment, there was only one word left in everyone's heart: "Impossible!"

After a moment, Egil slowly retracted his arm and returned to his standing posture. Then, with a little difficulty, he took off the wrist guard stuck on the knife and said, "Take it to test the authenticity." Then he threw it at Saladin - Saladin is a man at all. Although he was extremely surprised, he still had his skills. He took over the wrist guard thrown by Egil. He widened his eyes, trying to see where Egil cheated and then speak out loud to restore the impact. However, he could not find the texture of the steel armor was much stronger than the armor cast by the best forging craftsmen under his command.

"Long live! Long live Egil Scadragrimson! Long live the emperor!!!" Seeing Saladin's speechless look, the Normans finally came back and shouted loudly in excitement-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seeing the Muslims whose morale was extremely depressed, Egil chuckled faintly, confidently and proudly, turned his horse's head. Saladin, who was stunned, waved his hand without looking back, and walked back towards his own army...
