To be honest, since the beginning of the survival training, Zhang Tie had not looked at himself in the mirror for a long time. Therefore, even Zhang Tie himself didn't know that after the two-month survival training and eating a lot of Leakless Fruits, Iron-Body Fruits, Trouble-Reappearance Fruits, and Wild Wolf Seven-Strength Fruits, he had already become completely different from the miserable teenager several months ago. He started to show an extremely introverted, aloof, and gorgeous temperament from inside to outside. Everything seemed to be natural and didn't seem to be carved at all.
Especially after putting on the high-quality dark-red lieutenant uniform of the Norman Empire and his only pair of boots, Zhang Tie looked even more brilliant like a polished gem.
To be honest, when Zhang Tie saw his own image in the mirror, the first thought that flashed through his mind was not joy, but jealousy. When he found out that the image he was jealous of was actually him, Zhang Tie's heart was filled with joy.
Zhang Tie narcissistically moved back and forth in front of the mirror for at least two minutes before finally confirming that the handsome guy in the mirror was indeed himself. Making a grimace at himself in the mirror, Zhang Tie then walked out of the bathhouse.
The moment Zhang Tie walked out of the bathhouse, he had attracted the attention of all the soldiers of the Norman Empire in dark-red military uniforms. When Zhang Tie stood in front of adviser Vessie, Calvin, and the officer from the Logistics Department, the three guys who were smoking and chatting with each other suddenly widened their eyes. In a split second, the three guys who were smoking and chatting with each other widely opened their eyes and mouths, unable to say anything. The cigarette in adviser Vessie's hand fell onto the ground at once. Nobody could associate the sloppy and miserable image of Zhang Tie with the handsome young second lieutenant in front of them.
"You are... Zhang Tie?" adviser Vessie asked with uncertainty.
"I also find that I look very handsome in the military uniform. It's like this uniform was tailor-made for me. Don't be jealous! "Zhang Tie recovered his cheerful look.
Adviser Vessie's eyes sparkled, not knowing what he was thinking. Calvin ran towards Zhang Tie excitedly and buckled the bag of collar badges, shoulder badges, and chest badges onto Zhang Tie's military uniform. After that, he took the lieutenant's military cap and buckled the badge onto it. After that, she took the belt and let Zhang Tie it around his waist. In this way, Zhang Tie felt like walking out of a painting. It was even more dazzling.
Calvin laughed heartily without a care in the world. "Kid, today is the best day I've had since I started this job."
"Colonel Leibniz really has a unique vision!" that military officer of the Logistics Administration said after glancing at Zhang Tie for a few times. He also praised Veci from the bottom of his heart. "This person was born to wear a military uniform. I've never seen anyone wear the Empire's military uniform as pleasing to the eye … "
Originally, this officer of the logistics department was just doing his job, but now … This military officer's attitude towards Zhang Tie was a bit more enthusiastic. Perhaps, as Calvin had said, watching such a miserable youth complete his gorgeous transformation in front of him would indeed bring him an indescribable sense of achievement.
"Have you chosen your weapon?" the military officer asked Zhang Tie.
"No!"
"Then we'll go to the armory to pick out a suitable weapon for you!"
Thus, the four of them came to the armory of the logistics department.
A lieutenant of the Norman Empire usually had three weapons: a standard-issue dagger and a standard-issue long sword. For a military officer, besides being a weapon, wearing a long sword on some special occasions was completely out of etiquette. Besides these two weapons, the third weapon was determined by factors such as the troop he belonged to and his specific position. The third weapon was called the main battle weapon. For example, the commander of a spearman phalanx would usually have a special long spear as his main battle weapon. The military officer of the Iron-Horn Cavalry would choose a heavy saber or a long spear. Some soldiers and military officers who were responsible for carrying out special tasks could even choose crossbows and bows.
There was nothing special about the dagger or the long sword. However, when choosing other weapons, Zhang Tie became dumbfounded.
The armory of No. 39 Division was an eye-opener for Zhang Tie. Besides many boxes of standard-issue weapons, there were also various cold weapons of different lengths that he had never seen before, which made him dazzled.
What made adviser Vessie and the other officers surprised was that when Zhang Tie browsed through those weapons, he didn't even glance at the light weapons. However, he was fascinated by those heavy weapons. Glancing at Zhang Tie's body, they doubted whether he could even carry those weapons.
Finally, after walking through half of the huge armory, Zhang Tie saw something on a weapon rack. His eyes immediately brightened as he hurriedly walked towards it.
It was a set of javelins, or javelins, which were placed in a 1 m high cylindrical object. It was similar to the set of javelins that Zhang Tie had used in the survival training, but there were some differences. Firstly, this set of javelins was completely made of metal, instead of the wooden body and steel spearhead that Zhang Tie had used in the survival training. Secondly, the spearhead of the javelins used in the survival training was as sharp as a needle. However, the triangular spearhead of these javelins looked more ferocious. They were also larger. Zhang Tie pulled one out and weighed it in his hand. It weighed at least 13 kg, and its length was about 10 cm longer than that of the previous javelins. Zhang Tie felt that it was more suitable for his hand.
For the current Zhang Tie, the previous javelins were like straws in his hand. Those light javelins could not adapt to his current strength and could not help him exert his full strength. The bodies of these javelins and javelins were also made according to the principle of aerodynamics as mentioned by Peter. One section was thick while the other was thin. However, the connection between the thickness and the thin was smoother and more coherent. When Zhang Tie held them in his hand, he felt very rhythmic. When he held the javelins in his hand, there were also some delicate anti-skid patterns.
All in all. If the previous javelins were compared to the previous Zhang Tie, then these javelins were the current Zhang Tie. The latter was really much better than the former.
"Are these items a set?" Zhang Tie said as he pointed at that cylindrical item. This spear barrel was dozens of times better than that of the previous one in terms of shape, workmanship and material.
"Yes. These items are a set, but... "
"Can't I choose?" Zhang Tie immediately asked.
"No, precisely, these items are not used to equip individuals, but to equip the Iron-Horn Beast Cavalry. Several years ago, the weapon and equipment department of the empire produced these items and tried to equip the Iron-Horn Beast Cavalry. They wanted to see the power of the javelins used by the Iron-Horn Beast Cavalry. However, the effect was not good... "
"How could it be? I think it's very good in the west."
"Firstly, the cavalrymen of the Iron-Horn Army felt that it was too heavy. If it was used on the Iron-Horn Beasts, it would affect their speed and endurance, as well as their own flexibility. Secondly, this kind of javelin could only exert its power when it was thrown over a large area. Additionally, the distance could not be too far, as it requires a high strength of the individual cavalrymen. If the number of cavalrymen was too small, this kind of javelin could barely threaten the enemy. It is much more difficult to practice throwing this kind of javelin than using bows and arrows or machine crossbows. If they had to choose a throwing weapon, most of the Iron-Horn Beast Cavalry would choose the axes instead of this kind of javelin. Therefore, after trying it for a period, as the troops didn't respond well to it, the plan to equip the Iron-Horn Beast Cavalry with this kind of javelin was abandoned. Now, there are not many of them left in the warehouse. They were all left several years ago. Basically, nobody wants them anymore! "the officer of the Logistics Department explained patiently.
"Fine, I'll take this one!" Saying this, Zhang Tie picked up the standard equipment which contained twelve javelins. Zhang Tie didn't know that such a simple movement had caused the eyelids of the people beside him to jump. There were nine javelins in the backpack, each weighing 12.6 kg. Plus the weight of the backpack made of aluminum alloy, steel wire, and leather, the total weight was about 120 kg. Many people would find it difficult to pick it up with two hands, but this teenager could do it with only one hand. His strength was really amazing.
Zhang Tie really didn't feel anything. After eating the nine Wild Wolf Seven-Strength Fruits, he had already gained the strength of nine wolves. If the weight of this equipment was evenly distributed among the nine wolves, each wolf could at most carry more than ten kg. Was this heavy for a wild wolf? Moreover, Zhang Tie had the strength of a LV 4 warrior. Although it was a bit heavy in his hand, he didn't feel it difficult at all.
Adviser Vessie and that military officer of the Logistics Department exchanged glances with each other. They could see the deep amazement in each other's eyes.
Recruited by Colonel Leibniz himself, the youngest lieutenant in the entire division, and a member of the Iron-Blood Camp of the division, great strength, outstanding temperament, and unfathomable fighting strength. When all these conditions were applied to Zhang Tie, that military officer of the Logistics Department immediately realized that this teenager in front of him might have a bright future and was definitely worth investing in.
"Strictly speaking, these javelins are the same as arrows. They're easily expendable and can't be considered as main weapons. I've made the decision to give this set of equipment to you …" The tone of the logistics officer became even gentler. "You seem to be very strong. Perhaps you can try out another special equipment of the lieutenant rank that no one else has been using …"
Hearing this, Zhang Tie's curiosity was immediately aroused...
