In this case, in the army of the Norman Empire, the more meritorious deeds a soldier had, the higher his rank and position would be, of course, the more excellent weapons and equipment they would have. Those excellent weapons and equipment could not be matched by common standard equipment no matter their craftsmanship or materials.
The super-heavy battle sword "Man's Certificate" that Zhang Tie used was made of LV 2 tungsten-manganese alloy steel. Common soldiers of the Norman Empire usually used some common LV 1 alloy standard equipment, while field officers used some LV 3 special alloy materials. The value of LV 3 special alloy materials had already surpassed that of gold of the same weight.
As one of the rewards for the winners of the Iron-Blood Medal, the Norman Empire allowed the winners of the Iron-Blood Medal to select a non-standard equipment made of at least LV 3 special alloy materials from the equipment warehouse of the corps.
Now that there was such a benefit, Zhang Tie, who had already recovered, would not miss it.
In less than half an hour, Second Lieutenant Pi Ping drove Zhang Tie to a base where the Equipment Administration of the Logistics Department of the corps was located.
As they were both military officers of the Logistics Department, it was easier for them to communicate with each other. Additionally, Second Lieutenant Pi Ping had acquaintances here. After explaining their purpose and verifying Zhang Tie's identity, a captain of the Logistics Department directly led them to the equipment warehouse.
Compared to the ordnance warehouse of No. 39 Division, the number of weapons and equipment in the warehouse of the Equipment Administration of the corps was more than ten times more. It was Zhang Tie's first time to visit the warehouse of the Equipment Department of the Army. It really broadened his horizon. Those weapons and equipment that were more exaggerated than "Man's Certificate" could be found everywhere in the warehouse of the Equipment Department of the Army. Additionally, they were all well maintained.
All the standard equipment was put in the box. However, what Zhang Tie saw were basically non-standard weapons and equipment that could only be used by officers above lieutenant. There was a terrifying shield that was similar to a gate, and its surface was densely covered with spikes. There was also a huge wheeled axe that was taller than a person, and there was also a terrifying war hammer that weighed more than 500 kilograms, with nine spikes. There was a grim super-heavy flail, a 5-m long double-edged spear, and a super-heavy backpack crossbow which looked like a small turret. According to the introduction, the battle weight of the super-heavy backpack crossbow had reached 1.2 tons. Zhang Tie doubted what kind of tough man could carry such a huge weapon to the battlefield.
Besides these, there were also various weapons and equipment that Zhang Tie didn't know.
If Zhang Tie's "Man's Certificate" was put in this place, In that case, it would be completely inconspicuous.
This ordnance warehouse of the Equipment Department might be the place with the densest war atmosphere in the entire Blapei.
At the sight of those terrifying battle bows on a row of weapon hangers, Zhang Tie felt something special in his heart. Although Zhang Tie had not touched battle bows before, he felt a strange sense of familiarity at the sight of these battle bows.
"Is there any troop equipped with military exploits in the corps?" Zhang Tie asked that captain.
"In the entire Empire, the cost of training an archer is too high. It was far cheaper than nurturing a crossbowman, so all the bows in the Empire's army were non-standard equipment. These battle bows are purchased from abroad for some powerhouses who use bows in the Empire! "
"Purchased from abroad?" Zhang Tie glanced at that captain out of curiosity. "Can't the Norman Empire make battle bows?"
"Battle bows have the highest requirements on manufacturing process and materials. Of course, the Norman Empire can also make battle bows. However, across Blackson Human Clan Corridor, the best battle bows are all produced in Jinyun Country in the east of Blackson Human Clan Corridor..." Saying this, the captain glanced at Zhang Tie. "Jinyun Country is a human country mainly composed of Chinese people. Those who could use battle bows on the battlefield are all powerhouses who are highly valued by the commanding officers of the corps. However, all the powerhouses who use battle bows have very high requirements on battle bows and are stubborn, therefore..."
After saying this, the captain didn't continue. However, Zhang Tie understood what he meant. None of the guys who had the ability and confidence to use battle bows on the battlefield would like to use second-class battle bows produced by the Norman Empire. Instead, they all preferred to use battle bows produced by Jinyun Country. Therefore, the Norman Empire might not feel embarrassed to produce such weapons themselves. Additionally, as they were non-standard equipment, a corps would not be equipped with too many of them. Therefore, they directly purchased them from abroad.
At the sight of these battle bows, Zhang Tie couldn't help but think of Blues. According to Zhang Tie's understanding of Blues, if he could choose, he would definitely choose the best battle bow stubbornly instead of the second best. Zhang Tie estimated that those who used bows and arrows all had strange tempers.
Jinyun Country — — Zhang Tie bore this name in mind. As a Chinese, he felt a bit proud inside. However, as two military officers of the Norman Empire were standing in front of him, Zhang Tie felt embarrassed to show his pride as a Chinese. Instead, he picked up a battle bow in front of him and took a look at it.
The battle bow was very heavy, weighing over 20 kg. The handle of the bow was also made of a very strange material. It was neither made of gold nor wood. Zhang Tie didn't know what it was made of. The entire battle bow was very well-made. Holding it, Zhang Tie could feel the sharpness and killing intent of a powerful army.
When he put the bow back to its original position, Zhang Tie noticed two small Chinese seal characters on the handle of the bow, "Huaiyuan".
...
Because the weapons were made of LV 3 special alloy, only field officers of the corps were qualified to use them. Therefore, the warehouse for these weapons was smaller, covering less than 100 square meters. It was in a room inside the arsenal. If they wanted to enter it, they had to open a door.
Under the guidance of the first lieutenant, Zhang Tie and Second Lieutenant Pi Ping came to the room where more advanced weapons were placed.
Compared to those weapons with terrifying looks and sizes outside, perhaps because of the more precious materials, the weapons in this warehouse looked much more "normal". None of those big weapons weighing hundreds of kg or even one ton could be seen. The three most common weapons in this room were sabers, spears, and swords. There were also some other strange-looking items. Because they were all non-standard weapons, each of them was unique in terms of shape.
Watching those sophisticated weapons on the hangers which were giving out cold light, Zhang Tie's eyes were even brighter than 10,000-year fluorite lamps.
Undoubtedly, these were the most valuable and fine weapons that Zhang Tie had ever seen since he was born.
The first lieutenant casually drew out a shiny long sword with a fish-scale-like pattern from one of the hangers. After that, he picked up a common finger-thick steel bar. Without using much strength, he just placed the steel bar horizontally in front of him and waved the sword downwards.
With a sound of "Dang lang...", the steel bar in his hand fell onto the ground like a chopped cucumber and rolled to Zhang Tie's feet. Zhang Tie stooped to pick it up and found that the cross-section of the steel bar was as smooth as the surface of a mirror.
This kind of weapon was really worthy of the four words' cutting iron like mud '. If an ordinary soldier's weapon were to clash with such a weapon, the ordinary soldier's weapon would be cut in two or three moves. The first lieutenant then took the sword and showed it to Zhang Tie. After chopping off the steel bar, there was not even a trace on the blade. The whole blade was still giving out a cold light.
Second Lieutenant Pi Ping also swallowed his saliva. In Second Lieutenant Pi Ping's eyes, these weapons were piles of gold coins.
"Are all the weapons here at this level?" Zhang Tie asked the first lieutenant.
"More or less, but each has its own differences. Level 3 special alloys all have some strange properties, such as this..." The captain picked up a uniquely shaped shield. "This shield is made of level 3 memory alloy. No matter how you smash it, no matter how it deforms, as long as you heat it over a fire, it will quickly return to its original state."
Putting down the hand shield, the first lieutenant picked up a heavy crossbow beside him. Seeing the first lieutenant pick up a heavy crossbow with only one hand, Zhang Tie and Second Lieutenant Pi Ping were both startled.
The captain smiled. "Don't be fooled by its heavy appearance. In fact, because it's made of a special alloy material, its weight is much lighter than a light crossbow. However, its power isn't the slightest bit weaker than a light crossbow! Take your time, you can choose any one of the weapons here... "
Zhang Tie then started to wander through those excellent weapons. Because most of the colonels in the corps would choose a long saber or a long sword, while the cavalry officers preferred long spears, these three weapons were the most common in this warehouse. However, there were also many other weapons, including two more advanced battle bows.
Second Lieutenant Pi Ping suggested Zhang Tie to choose a long sword. Zhang Tie shook his head. Although the long swords here were not bad, they were too eye-catching. So were the sabers and spears. Zhang Tie actually wanted to choose a weapon that could be carried at any time and could be used in a fight at a critical moment. If he had such a weapon, it would be much easier for him to deal with kidnappings like last time.
