Chapter 957: Each Takes Action
Vaughn walked ahead, glancing back from time to time at the flatbed cart pushed by two militiamen.
Looking at the "spoils" piled atop the cart, the young militia captain wore an excitement he simply could not hide. The two leather armors in particular made him slow his steps, raise a hand, and touch one of them yet again.
The leather armor had been made by tanning and combining cowhide and boar hide, then sewing it with cord twisted from Swordspine Grass and ox sinew. It was not only sturdy and reliable, but also highly resistant to slashing attacks.
Not to mention the armor itself!
When Vaughn had discovered it, he had personally tested it.
Of course, the young man had not been willing to test it with actual blades. Instead, he had used a more subtle method—a hunter's instinctive feel for leather.
He could guarantee that this leather armor could not only withstand direct sword strikes, but was also exceptionally effective against arrows.
At the very least, ordinary bows and crossbows could not penetrate its defense within twenty meters.
The young man could not help imagining how he would look wearing it.
Of course, Vaughn's character meant he would not keep the two leather armors for himself. He would hand them all over to Qin Ran, just like the other "spoils."
Bronze vessels, along with a small number of silver ones.
A great many copper coins, a small bag of silver coins, and six gold coins.
That was the entirety of the spoils.
They were not as valuable as Qin Ran had imagined, but they were still decent.
"Keep the coins. Distribute the vessels as rewards based on everyone's performance tonight.
"As for the two leather armors... Vaughn, you may have one. Do not refuse.
