King of the North: My Lord's Diary Weekly Summary

Chapter 218, Armed Forces!

Wayne opened his eyes, gently woke Annie and Renee, and got up by the moonlight outside the window to wash up and go downstairs.

Yannis was already waiting in the lobby.

The butler was impeccably dressed, holding a neatly folded outer robe in his hands.

"Good morning, sir."

Wayne nodded and took the robe, then sat down at the table and quickly finished his bread and soup.

Kasha, Annie, and Renee also went downstairs to eat.

When Anne came downstairs, she was wearing the Lightweight Celestial Armor that Wayne had given her the night before.

The armor plates fit snugly to the body, with a thick lining, making almost no sound when walking.

"So handsome."

Wayne gave a compliment and then turned to look at the butler.

"Yannis, is the car loaded?"

Yannis nodded: "Fourteen sets of armor, one crossbow, all loaded onto the vehicle."

The militiamen were already waiting at the village entrance.

Wayne stood up, walked to the door, and then stopped.

"Yannis".

"exist."

"The territory is now yours."

Yannis bowed slightly, his voice calm but solemn: "Rest assured, my lord, there will be no mishaps in Frostraven Territory."

Wayne nodded and went out with the two women.

At the village entrance, all the key figures had gathered.

Ronald, clad in full armor, stood at the front, followed by twelve militiamen, each one looking sharp and spirited.

Wright was tending to the horses, while Sean, carrying his large bow, was checking his quiver.

Raymond arrived last, dressed in ordinary leather armor, but his back was ramrod straight.

His armor is still in the car; Wayne plans to give it to him later.

Two wooden carts were parked by the roadside, covered with cloth. Inside were simple living supplies and a dozen or so sets of recast clothing.

Tian Shu Dual-Phase Armor.

"Let's go."

Wayne lifted Renee onto his horse, then mounted himself, his hands holding the reins encircling her fair body, and glanced back at the village.

In the morning mist, Emma led a considerable number of early-rising villagers to see them off and offer their blessings.

Wayne waved his hand and then turned his horse around.

"Set off!"

The group headed north along the village road, passing through fields and hills, until they reached the wolf camp.

Chief Ugo stood at the camp entrance, with Caleb, Isaac, and thirty wolf warriors behind him.

They wore leather armor, carried short bows, and had short swords at their waists; each of them had a solemn expression.

Wayne greeted them, dismounted, and helped Renee down.

"When you get back to Greta, train hard!"

Renee has been living in the territory for quite some time now, and the people in charge of the inspection station have gradually become familiar with their work over the past few days—it's time for her to go to the shaman Greta to practice her shamanic abilities again.

The girl nodded, her eyes filled with reluctance and worry.

"Wayne, be back on time."

Wayne reached out and ruffled her hair, nodded, and then turned to Caleb and Isaac.

"Is everything ready?"

Kellerb nodded: "My lord, thirty warriors are ready to depart at any time."

Wayne glanced at the wolf warriors—their eyes were resolute, devoid of fear, filled only with fighting spirit.

"Don't head north yet, let's find some hills to the east."

The group reached a deserted area, the wooden cart stopped, and Wayne lifted the cloth.

In the morning light, the fourteen sets of Tian Shu Dual-Phase Armor gleamed with a dark metallic luster.

Every piece of armor, including the breastplate, shoulder armor, arm armor, and leg guards, is complete.

Upon closer inspection, one can see fine lines along the edges of the armor plates, and an intricate folding structure at the junction of the shoulder and arm armor, resembling a budding flower.

"What is this?"

Ronald leaned closer and reached out to touch the patterns on the shoulder armor.

Wayne didn't explain, but simply picked up a set, smiled, and said to Ronald.

"Put them on."

Ronald hesitated for a moment, but still took the armor, took off his outer robe, and put it on piece by piece.

The armor plates fit his body perfectly, and the joints allowed for free movement, making him feel much safer than his previous suit of armor.

"How are you feeling?"

Ronald stretched his arms and squatted down.

"Not bad, very agile, and—"

He touched the breastplate: "With this thickness, its defensive capabilities should be quite good."

Wayne nodded and picked up another set, handing it to Wright.

Wright looked surprised when he put it on.

"My lord, this armor—it feels even more comfortable than the ones we had in training camp. Did the Duke give it to us?"

Wayne smiled and then walked up to Kellerb.

Kellerb has one set, Sean has one set, and Isaac has one set.

Neither he nor Kasha needed any. He gave eight sets of armor to the werewolf warriors—Gard's city defense archers, Isaac's ambush team, and Anne and Caleb's main attack team.

The last set was handed to Raymond by Wayne.

"Put them on."

Raymond took the armor and silently put it on.

The armor plates unfolded on his nearly two-meter-tall body, as if tailor-made for him. In fact, apart from the Wayne armor for Isaac, which was carefully resized during the reforging process to suit Raymond's armor condition, all the others were custom-made by the blacksmiths for them.

He clenched his fist, then patted his breastplate, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"My lord, this armor—"

Wayne raised his hand to interrupt him.

"It's not over yet."

He walked up to Ronald.

"Brother, focus your attention and imagine this armor transforming into a ballista."

Ronald was stunned when he heard Wayne's instructions.

"Ah? My lord?"

"Give it a try."

Ronald hesitated for a moment, then closed his eyes.

However, soon, the doubts in everyone's eyes will turn into utter shock!

A few seconds later, Ronald's armor suddenly made a slight clicking sound:

The shoulder armor unfolded, the arm armor folded, the breastplate deformed, and the entire suit of armor disintegrated and reassembled in three seconds into a ballista as long as Ronald's arm span, appearing along his leg armor on the side of his calf.

The crossbow arm was sturdy, the bowstring was taut, and there were even several arrows assembled from multiple iron arrows in the arrow slot. However, its shape and texture were exactly the same as the Tian Shu bed crossbow, only a few sizes smaller.

Ronald opened his eyes, looked down at the ballista between his arms, and froze.

"This—this—my God!"

His voice was trembling—a mixture of surprise and excitement at the novelty.

Wright stood there with his mouth agape, unable to close it for a long time.

Kellerb and the wolf warriors were stunned. Some took a step back instinctively, while others reached out to touch their armor, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"My lord! What is this thing?!"

Ronald's voice even changed slightly.

Unlike most people, he had lived in the capital and seen the world, but he had never seen anything like this—armor turning into a ballista.

This was beyond his comprehension.

"Don't rush."

Wayne smiled and said, "Try again, change back."

Ronald took a deep breath and focused.

The ballista disassembled and reassembled within three seconds, returning to its armor form and fitting perfectly along the leg armor.

"this----"
