The men showered very quickly, and it only took more than ten minutes. When Zhang Tie, who was completely new and wearing shiny sheepskin boots, reappeared in front of Second Lieutenant Visi, everyone was stunned. Speaking of Staff Officer Visi and others, even Zhang Tie, when they looked at their current image in front of the mirror in the bathhouse, they couldn't believe that the person in the mirror in front of them looked so heroic. But the handsome young man who is secretive is actually himself. (The young man in the mirror on Baidu search has fair and delicate skin, soft and graceful yet sharp features, and smooth black hair, which fully shows the nutrition and youthful vitality of the owner. Although the young man is tall, He is not very tall, and his figure is not majestic, but he is very well-proportioned. All the lines and proportions have the youthfulness and perfection unique to young people. The boy's face is very young, but under that young face, there is an indifference and indifference to life and death.

To be honest, Zhang Tie hasn't looked in the mirror for a long time since the trial began. So Zhang Tie himself doesn't know that after the two months of trials, there are a lot of Flawless Fruit, Iron Fetus Fruit After eating, Soul Tribulation Fruit, Wild Wolf Seven-Power Fruit, he is now completely different from the pale green boy a few months ago. His whole person has begun to reveal an extremely restrained, cold and gorgeous temperament from the inside to the outside. Everything is as natural as it is, without any polish.

Especially after wearing the dark red Norman Empire lieutenant uniform and Zhang Tie's life-long boots, Zhang Tie's whole person was like a polished gem, becoming even more radiant.

To be honest, when Zhang Tie saw his own image in the mirror, the first thought that came to his mind was not joy, but jealousy. After discovering that the image he was jealous of was actually him, Zhang Tie's heart was filled with joy.

Zhang Tie narcissistically walked around in front of the mirror for at least two minutes, and then finally confirmed that the good-looking guy in the mirror was himself - Zhang Tie made a face at himself in the mirror, and then walked out of the bathhouse.

As soon as Zhang Tie walked out of the bathhouse after dressing up, the Norman Empire soldiers wearing dark red military uniforms on the road attracted side glances, and when Zhang Tie stood in front of Visi staff officer, Calvin and the officer from the logistics department When we walked in, the three guys who were smoking and chatting had their eyes widened for a moment, and their mouths were opened and they were speechless. The cigarette in Staff Officer Visi's hand suddenly fell to the ground. No one could put the sloppy green image of Zhang Tie in front of them with the heroic and handsome young second lieutenant in front of them.

"Are you...Zhang Tie?" Staff officer Visi asked with some uncertainty.

"I also found that I look very handsome in my military uniform. It's as if this military uniform was custom-made for me. Don't be jealous!" Zhang Tie returned to his cheerful appearance.

Staff officer Visi's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what to think. But Calvin next to him ran over excitedly, put the pack of collar badges, epaulettes, and breast badges on Zhang Tie's military uniform, and then brought the captain's After fastening the cap badge, let Zhang Tie put it on, and then take the belt and tie Zhang Tie around his waist. After doing this, Zhang Tie feels like he has stepped out of a painting. He is even more dazzling.

Calvin laughed regardless, "Boy, I feel the most accomplished today since I started doing this job."

"Colonel Leibniz's vision is indeed very unique!" After the officer from the logistics department took a serious look at Zhang Tie, he also sincerely praised Visi. "This man is born to wear military uniforms. I have never seen anyone wearing the imperial uniforms look so good on him..."

Originally, the officer in the logistics department only had a business-like face, but now, this officer's attitude towards Zhang Tie is a little more enthusiastic. Perhaps as Calvin said, watching such a green boy complete the process of gorgeous transformation in front of him in an instant will indeed give those involved an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

"Have you selected your weapon?" the officer asked Zhang Tie.

"No!"

"Then let's go to the armory to pick out a useful weapon for you!"

So the four people came to the ordnance warehouse of the Logistics Department.

A Norman lieutenant generally has three weapons, a standard dagger and an imperial standard long sword. For an officer, in addition to being a weapon, wearing a long sword on some special occasions is entirely out of etiquette requirements. In addition to these two weapons, there is another weapon that is determined by factors such as the unit he is in and his specific position. It was decided that the third weapon is called the main battle weapon. For example, in addition to the above two weapons, the commander of the spear phalanx will usually have a special long gun as the main battle weapon. The officers of the Iron Horn Cavalry will choose an additional heavy saber or spear. Some soldiers and officers responsible for performing special tasks can even choose weapons such as crossbows and bows.

There is nothing to choose between daggers and long swords, they are both the same, but when choosing other weapons, Zhang Tie was dumbfounded.

39th Division's ordnance warehouse was an eye-opener for Zhang Tie. In addition to many boxes of standard weapons, the weapons there were also dazzling with all kinds of long and short cold weapons that they had never seen before.

What surprised Visi's staff was that when Zhang Tie was browsing the weapons, he passed by the light weapons without even looking at them, but lingered over the large and heavy weapons. Several people looked at Zhang Tie's body and doubted whether Zhang Tie could hold those things.

Finally, when he was halfway through the huge weapons warehouse, Zhang Tie finally saw something on a weapons rack. His eyes immediately lit up and he hurriedly walked over.

It was a set of Flying Spear, or javelins, placed in a tubular thing over one meter high. This thing was somewhat similar to the set of Flying Spear used by Zhang Tie during the trial, but it was different. The first difference was that the material of this set of javelins was entirely made of metal, not the wooden spear body with steel spearhead used in the trial. The second difference was that it was made In terms of shape, the spearhead of the Flying Spear used in the trial is sharp, like a needle, and these things here, the triangular thorn-shaped spearheads look more murderous. They are also larger, Zhang Tie took out one piece and weighed it in his hand. The weight of a single piece is at least about 13 kilograms, and the length is nearly ten centimeters longer than the previous Flying Spear. It feels more comfortable in the hand.

For the current Zhang Tie, those Flying Spears from the past are almost like holding a straw in hand. Those Flying Spears that are too light are completely unable to adapt to his current strength and allow him to exert his maximum combat power. These javelins and Flying Spear The spear body of is also composed of the aerodynamic principles mentioned by Peter. One section is thick and the other is thin, but the connection between the thicknesses feels smoother and more coherent. It has a very rhythmic feeling when held in the hand. There are also some delicate anti-slip patterns on the part of the spear body where the hand is held and thrown.

In a word, if we compare the Flying Spear of the past to the Zhang Tie of the past, then the Flying Spear we see now are the current Zhang Tie. The latter is really much better than the former, and there is no comparison.

"Are these things a set?" Zhang Tie pointed at the barrel-shaped thing and said. The spear barrel containing Flying Spear is dozens of times better than the one used before, in terms of shape, workmanship and material.

"Yes. These things are a set, but..."

"Can't I choose?" Zhang Tie asked immediately.

"No, to be precise, these things are not used to equip individuals, but to equip Iron Horn Beast cavalry. A few years ago, the empire's weapons and equipment department produced these things, and trial-produced some to try to equip Iron Horn Beast cavalry. I wanted to see the power of Iron Horn Beast cavalry using javelins, but after getting the troops, the effect was not very good..."

"How is that possible? I think this place is very good from the west?"

"The first thing the cavalrymen of the Iron Horn Legion think is that this thing is too heavy. Equipping it on Iron Horn Beast will affect Iron Horn Beast's speed and endurance, as well as their own flexibility. The second thing is to make this The power of the javelin can only be exerted when it is thrown in a covering manner, and the distance cannot be too far. The requirements for the individual strength of the cavalry are too high. If the number of people is small, it is difficult for this kind of thing to threaten the enemy. To practice the accuracy of throwing this thing, it is more difficult than using a bow and arrow. Or there are too many crossbows. If they have to choose a throwing weapon, most Iron Horn Beast cavalry will choose the throwing ax now used instead of this kind of javelin. So after trying it for a period of time, because the troops did not respond well to this thing, So the plan to use this thing to equip the Iron Horn Beast cavalry has been abandoned. There are not many of these things left in the warehouse now. They were all left over a few years ago, and basically no one wants them anymore!" the officer from the logistics department explained patiently.

"Okay, I want this!" Zhang Tie said, picking up the standard equipment with twelve javelins in one hand. Zhang Tie didn't know that such a simple action of his made the eyelids of several people next to him twitch. The javelin in the javelin backpack There are nine spears in total, and each javelin weighs 12.6 kilograms. Adding the weight of the javelin backpack made of aluminum alloy, steel wire and leather, the total weight is about 120 kilograms. Many people find it difficult to pick it up with two hands, but this young man picked it up with one hand. This strength is amazing.

Zhang Tie really doesn't feel much. After eating nine Wild Wolf Seven-Power Fruit, Zhang Tie already has more Nine Wolf Strength on his body. If the weight of this equipment is evenly distributed among the nine wolves, each wolf will be able to distribute at most Is something over ten kilograms heavy for a wild wolf? What's more, Zhang Tie now has level four Battle Soldier power. When holding this thing in hand, Zhang Tie only feels a little heavy, but it doesn't feel strenuous.

Visi staff officer and the officer from the logistics department looked at each other, and both sides saw deep surprise in the other's eyes.

Colonel Leibniz personally recruited the youngest lieutenant in the entire division. Iron-Blood Battalion entered the division. He was extremely powerful, had outstanding temperament, and his strength was even more difficult to fathom. When these conditions suddenly focused on Zhang Tie, the officer in the logistics department immediately realized that the young man in front of him might become famous in the future and was definitely worth his investment.

"Strictly speaking, these Flying Spear are the same as arrows. They are consumables and are not considered main battle weapons. I am the one who made the decision and gave this set of equipment to you..." The tone of the logistics officer became gentler. "You seem to be very strong. Maybe you can try another special lieutenant-level thing that no one here has used..."

Zhang Tie's curiosity was suddenly piqued...
