Needless to say, Van Cleef was shocked, but Li Ke didn't take any time off either.
Because he showed Van Cleef how to make pierced armor.
"Sir, this is indeed a type of armor that deserves to be popularized on a large scale, but... if our machine can indeed produce plate armor on a large scale, then this kind of armor is actually completely meaningless."
Fan Cleef looked at the armor plate compiled by Li Ke, his eyes once again showed shock, but he immediately felt a lot of regret.
Because it's useless.
The advantage of this kind of armor is that it can be installed and repaired on a large scale!
Plate armor is almost non-repairable, but this kind of armor can be repaired as long as the armor pieces are replaced. Not only that, the difficulty of manufacturing is also very low, and it can be seen with the naked eye that the defense is not too bad - big deal
Just two layers.
Although there is no way to compare with plate armor in terms of defense and flexibility, the cost and time of making one set of plate armor is enough to make two or three sets of such armor. It is not even a big expense to equip the militia!
It's even as simple as asking a peasant woman to sew it for you, and there won't be any problems!
This would have caused huge turmoil in the entire human world in the past! Because in this way, the number of soldiers each kingdom can arm can be doubled!
How terrible a concept is this?
This means that traditional plate armor warriors have to face at least five or six people at the same time wearing armor whose defense is not much lower than plate armor!
Although Van Cleef has not personally worn this kind of armor, he can roughly calculate it just by looking at the armor pieces!
Even if pierced armor can only defend against three attacks, while plate armor can defend against five attacks, but after calculating the cost, a plate armor knight will have to face at least three, or even four pierced armor knights...
But for Li Ke, this is another story.
"Oh? It's not completely useless, Van Cleef."
Li Ke casually knitted the armor and laughed.
"why would you say so?"
Van Cleef really doesn't understand.
"Sometimes, you are a person who enforces justice. The armor is not for you, but for the people you save. They don't have the convenience you have."
Li Ke shrugged.
"After all, I don't intend to let you just move around here."
Van Cleef understood everything instantly.
"You want me to sell armor to other people in Stormwind territory?!"
He opened his mouth and looked at Li Ke in disbelief.
"why not?"
Li Ke shrugged.
"And it can also be sold to His Highness Varian. Look, hasn't he always been worried about the expenditure of the army? We can completely sell them armor plates. As for who is selling the armor plates, then we have nothing to do with it.
It’s here, isn’t it?”
The smile on his face made Van Cleef subconsciously take a step back.
Because it's too scary.
Another advantage of pierced armor is that it is easy to hide. Although humans do not have any rules prohibiting people from hiding armor, this kind of pierced armor can be temporarily cut and then laid flat together, and then tied back again at worst.
This thing is really suitable for bandits, thieves and the like.
"Are you planning to cause chaos throughout Stormwind City?"
Van Cleef couldn't help but ask.
"Who told you, I just sell some self-defense supplies, that's all. Who wants to cause chaos in Stormwind City? I'm doing business? What kind of businessman would like the business environment to be chaotic?"
Li Ke looked puzzled.
He discovered that people like Van Cleef just like to think wildly. Why would he, a good businessman, want to cause chaos in Stormwind City?
Of course it's an arms dealer.
Fan Cleef murmured in his heart. He looked at Li Ke and knew very well that this was what his position in Li Ke was.
Although Li Ke is also very concerned about his identity as another architect, no matter what, his other identity is more important at present.
"I understand, I will try my best to contact my people to do this."
Van Cleef nodded, and then asked about his true purpose.
"Speaking of which, what's going on with those people from the city? How come I've never seen them before?"
He asked tentatively. Normally, there were basically no masons he didn't know in this country.
"Those are the people sent by my other allies. You don't need to care about them, Van Cleef. Their position is different from yours. You are more precious, Van Cleef."
Li Ke didn't lie. Van Cleef was indeed more valuable because he was familiar with various human rules, living habits, and a lot of messy things.
The Dragon Clan's architects are not so convenient. These newcomers are all handymen working in the Black Dragon Legion. They are marginal figures. They don't have much experience in walking in the human world. They are basically just working constantly.
Under the leadership of Walder, the factories and various machines needed by Li Ke could be quickly built, but when it came to architectural planning and city construction, it would never be possible without Van Cleef.
"I think you'd better develop some lieutenants in the Brotherhood and let them do big business - goblins are a good choice, aren't they? As long as you give them a little benefit, they will be willing to take risks and pay their lives for it, etc.
Something we cherish."
Li Ke gave a hint that there is more than one goblin in Van Cleef's team. If he can let the goblins handle most of the brotherhood matters, then when they abandon the brotherhood, they can still slander the goblin race.
Put it, and then Ziah will have an advantage in future negotiations.
"I will, then I'll take my leave first."
Seeing that Li Ke had no intention of telling him where those people came from, Van Cleef left the place wisely and returned to his residence.
And Joseph came back with him, carrying a jug of wine.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He looked at his old buddy, thought for a while, and asked his question.
"Joseph, what do you think of this place?"
They had been here for a while, and he really wanted to know what his old friend thought of this place.
"It's not bad...at least they pay wages very diligently."
Joseph waved his hand.
"Although we joined the mining industry, all the profits from our mining went to the lord, but wasn't it the same when we worked for Stormwind City before?"
Joseph spread his hands, his simple face full of satisfaction.
"And when it comes down to it, we still make a profit. We have meat for three meals, we will replace your clothes with new ones if they are completely worn out, and you don't have to pay for it. Your residence is also taken care of, and wages are paid on the first of every month - Van Cleef,
You don’t know, I have never seen anyone in my life who gets paid on the first day of every month, and the salary is not low. Working from 9 to 5, 9 gold coins per month, the same as those officers in Stormwind City
A salary, unlimited meat and bread, spacious and free staff dormitories, Van Cleef, this is the life that only farmers can have."
Joseph sighed and continued.
"Also, overtime is paid, and what about retirement pay... Van Cleef, I have been working as a miner all my life. This is really the first time I heard that overtime is paid, and there is retirement pay. I don't know what other people think.
Yes, Lao Fan, but if Mr. Li Ke were a king and gave me such a life for the rest of my life... I would be willing to give my life for him."
VanCleef was silent because of everything Joseph said when they were building Stormwind City.
