17th new armor of the Teutonic Knights

When Shichen brought back the news of the leader of Sakhasin, Schwab was anxiously waiting for the reply of the Antioch Kingdom on the island of Malta. The Teutonic knights were eager to use the sword in their hands to cultivate their land of honor. In order to keep these passionate knights calm, Baron Liugudi and Bald Otto had to train them ruthlessly. The civilians on the island could see sweaty knights running around the island every day.

"There is a problem that we need to solve." Schwab stood on the gate of the castle and looked at the Teutonic knights wearing plate armor sweating profusely. Although the plate armor was improved by Mark's blacksmiths under Schwab's guidance, it can resist the penetration of bows and arrows and the slashing of enemy swords, in this hot place, the rider wearing plate armor is like a roast duck on an iron plate.

"It's the problem with the armor." Baron Liugudi took off his helmet, and he took a linen handed over soaked in cold water, wiped his forehead. He was really touched by the heat transfer of the plate armor.

"That's right, although the plate armor has excellent protection, the soldiers' physical strength consumed too much in this weather. Before we could kill the enemy, we no longer had the energy. Look at our opponents, they are just a robe except scale armor, which is very light and cool." Bald Otto said, pointing to the armor on his body.

"Oh, then Otto takes off your armor and I'll give you a robe for the Sultans." Schwab said jokingly when he heard the reckless bald Otto say.

"No, no, my sir, I have no intention of handing over this armor." Bald Otto couldn't bear to leave his beautiful Teutonic plate armor. Although the plate armor may be a bit out of place here, who knew that one day the Teutonic Knights returned to the mainland and in the cold and humid climate, the plate armor could show its strength.

In order to solve the problem of armor, Schwab discussed with his subordinates and decided to use chain armor like other knights. The shirt outside the chain armor must be white, just to distinguish the Knights Templar. A black iron cross was used in the middle of the white pattern. As for why white was used, Baron Liugudi and others thought it represented the purity of the Holy See. Only Schwab himself knew that only white could isolate heat in the hot sun. This may also be the main color of white adopted by the Templars through experience summary.

Schwab also brought some blacksmiths during the Eastern Expedition, and some pig iron was stored in the castle of Malta Island. Therefore, the blacksmith shop on Malta Island suddenly became popular. The civilians on the island were mobilized to braid a ring of wire made by blacksmiths, and then woven a set of armor with these rings. However, if the entire Teutonic Knights were to be equipped with members, it was far from enough. As expected, this Malta Island was too small and there was too little manpower on the island.

"Sir Earl, the Little Williams are back." When the people on the island of Malta were busy, a small boat was heading towards the island. The sentry on the sentry built with palm trees raised on the coast reported that when the boat was approaching, William and Governor Fulke jumped down. They were shaking when they passed the bumps and came ashore. One deep and one shallow one foot was like stepping on cotton. Several soldiers hurried forward to support them and handed them water to help them recover their strength.

"Where is the sir?" Little William shook his wet hair, grabbed a soldier and asked quickly.

"Inside the castle." The soldier pointed to the castle and said to William Little, although he didn't know that little

Why is William so anxious? But it can be seen that William must have reported something urgent.

The sea breeze in the Malta castle came in through the simple walls. It was extremely hot during the day, but it was very cold at night, and there was not even a fireplace here. The helpless members of the Teutonic Knights had to set up a bonfire.

"You mean the Queen of Antioch Kingdom invites us." Schwab stretched out his hand and roasted the fire beside the campfire. Although the room was very comfortable to clean up by the servants, it was still cold and uncomfortable at night. So he sat in the castle and roasted the fire with Baron Liugudi and others while drinking ale wine. After Xiao William and Fulke arrived, they also joined in. Schwab was silent for a moment after listening to the report of Fulke and William. Schwab was delighted when he heard the invitation of Antioch Kingdom. However, there were many problems in it, such as the location where the Teutonic Knights were stationed, and this location would become the largest territory of the Teutonic Knights here. How to win the largest liberty in the hands of the Antioch Kingdom is a question Schwab considers.

"Yes, Saladin's army threatened the Antioch Kingdom, and they could no longer hold on. If it weren't for the lack of water, Saladin would have attacked long ago." Fulk told Schwab and others what he knew. It seemed that the form was really unfavorable to the Antioch.

"Maybe we can slow down, after all, the Antiochs are here now, and you think of it, sir." Baron Liugudi thought about it and said that the advantage of the Teutonic Knights is that they arrive here ahead of other Knights. In the Antiochs' eyes, the Teutonic Knights are the only military force that can help them.

"But Queen Sophia needs our help." Little William didn't say anything, but he was extremely anxious. He kept looking at Schwab, hoping to get the information he hoped for from Schwab's mouth, but Little William couldn't help but blurt out when he heard Baron Liugudi ask wait to help the Antioch Kingdom.

"Oh?" Hearing the words of William, Schwab and Baron Liugudi looked at William in surprise. Only Fulk knew what was going on, so he explained for William.

Little William, you saved the life of Queen Antioch, which is a good thing." For Schwab and others, this is also a political capital that can win interests.

"Yes, Little William, you have made great contributions to the Teutonic Knights." Schwab nodded, thinking that this was also a good opportunity, but looking at Little William's appearance, Schwab felt something was wrong.

"I don't want to make a contribution." Little William frowned and murmured.

Little William comes here, I want to ask you something. "After Schwab came to this other world, his first little shi was Little William. To Schwab, Little William was like a child of his own. Seeing this thin little boy gradually growing into a majestic knight, Schwab felt very happy, so he decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with Little William.

"Master Earl." Little William followed Schwab, as if they had been before. They seemed to have returned to the past. Schwab faced any enemy with great confidence, while Little William followed Schwab with a shield or sword, ready to hand over weapons when Schwab needed it. But gradually Schwab was getting older, while Little William was growing into a man who stood tall.

"Tell me, what happened?" Schwab turned around and looked at Little William with a gentle look.

"I may be in love with my lord." Little William stuttered for a moment, his face turned red, and he finally said what he said...
