After the failure of the plan to mass-produce the full body armor, Sui Xiong was too lazy to spread it. He just gave this armor to the elites of his own knight group, and that was it.
But the storm caused by this armor did not subside. In a later actual combat training, the elites of the knight group wearing the void full body armor had a fierce head-on battle with a famous bandit group. In the battle, the void full body armor shone brightly, and the whole knight group not only did not lose one person, but not even one person was seriously injured.
At that time, the place where the battle was fought was not remote, and many people witnessed the fierce battle, among which there were naturally many people who knew about the armor. After the battle, adventurers soon ran to the Void Mask Amusement Park, wanting to buy such armor.
High-level armor was still very rare in this world. A high-quality refined armor required a lot of labor and materials, and the price was extremely high. But compared with its price, the production was a bigger problem.
Adventurers above the intermediate level could usually gather enough money to buy a good piece of armor. But there were very few people who could really buy the ideal armor. This was because every good armor required several years of hard work from the craftsmen before they could be produced. And most of such armors had been pre-ordered by large organizations — such as countries — before they were made, and there were very few that could really be sold to the people.
So even among the senior adventurers, there were quite a few who wore modified old armor or special animal skin armor, let alone intermediate adventurers.
Of course, there were quite a few fine armors among the old armors of the previous generation. Of course, the special leather armor made from the skin of magical beasts was extraordinary. But if it was possible, those fierce warriors would still want a brand new tailor-made heavy armor for themselves.
No matter how the old armor was modified, it could not be very suitable. The magical beast skin armor looked good at first glance, but repairing it was a huge problem. In contrast, custom-made heavy armor was not only strong but also convenient to repair, which was very beneficial for long-term adventures.
So when the news of the void full body armor spread, there were really a lot of senior adventurers who came to the amusement park to try to buy it.
For these adventurers' desire, the Void Mask Amusement Park's answer was, "The void full body armor production is very low, and the price is very high, so you can only line up by drawing lots."
Line up by drawing lots? No problem!
After drawing lots, more than 20 high-level adventurers lined up and reserved their armors.
As for the intermediate or lower level adventurers, they had no choice but to give up.
Over the years, the amusement park had sold a total of four Void Body Armors, and every one of them was well received. The high-level adventurers had plenty of money. Everyone took their armors and enchanted them, turning them into four famous treasured armors.
Many soul-stirring stories revolved around the four armors. In particular, there was an armor named "White Moonlight" that had changed owners three times in the short span of five years. At least a hundred people had died for it, and it had become a legend.
And the elites of the Void Masked Knights, who wore Void Armor, became the most famous and expensive soldier type on the Main Plane. Who knew how many people were secretly plotting against them, wanting to snatch such an armor from them.
However, not a single person had succeeded so far.
Apart from the elites in full-body armor, there were also many ordinary soldiers in the knights. They were also wearing full-body armor, but it was a simplified version. It was much lighter and easier to make.
This simplified version of full-body armor was actually considered high-end goods, at least not available to ordinary adventurers. Wearing such a set of armor, for ordinary soldiers, was already something to be proud of.
When they gathered together, the bright armor reflected the light of the bonfire, revealing a kind of soul-stirring heroic temperament, which would make anyone with bad intentions subconsciously retreat.
In the morning, Gerrard took his men and began their routine training.
The first event of their training was to run around the Void Mask Amusement Park.
The Void Mask Amusement Park was very big, very big. Running around it was definitely a high-intensity training event on Earth. But for the members of the knights, this routine training was just a warm-up exercise.
After more than 20 years of construction, the members of the Void Masked Knights had been screened several times, and the rest were elites. The ordinary strong men who followed Gerrard in the past had long been eliminated. Most of them had changed their posts, and the rest had become logistics personnel.
Now the members of the Void Masked Knights had generally come from two origins. One was the warriors from the Black and White Bear Clan, and the other was the recruited adventurers.
The Black and White Bear Clan was created by the "Silent Warrior" Mo. The follower god of Morani was originally a mutant Orc. After he was apotheosized, he created the Black and White Bear Clan based on his own appearance and the Orc bloodline of the Bear Clan.
This race of half-beastmen was very different from the traditional half-beastmen. They were generally taciturn, and apart from their love of drinking, they did not have any bad habits or traditions. On the contrary, they were hardworking and honest, which fully reflected their virtues.
Because of their characters, they did not live well in the Orc Empire in the past. In general, they were somewhat incompatible with the Orc society. Since the Barbarian Gods moved to the "sanctuary" of Sui Xiong's Holy Kingdom, Mo, after some consideration, moved them to the Void Mask Amusement Park.
This group of strong and kind Orcs was quickly welcomed by people, and they settled well in the Void Mask Amusement Park. And because of their naturally strong physique, many of them became soldiers and became members of the Void Masked Knights.
Mo didn't create this race to follow the tradition of the Orc Gods. He didn't want to create descendants who would be under his control and provide him with his faith. He only wanted to send them away from loneliness. He did not leave any mind control for the Black and White Bear Clan, and he did not care what these creatures believed in.
So even if someone changed their faith to the Void Mask, he did not have any objection.
For him, as long as this clan could survive in the mortal world, it would be fine.
The Black and White Bear Clan was tall and strong, and ordinary strong men could only reach their chest. Such a strong body, together with custom-made heavy armor and long halberds, made them first-class armored soldiers.
And this clan was born with high intelligence. When learning knowledge, they did not have the slightest sense of clumsiness like ordinary Orcs, which made their martial arts level improve very quickly. Unfortunately, their natural magic talent was not good, and they did not have any special bloodline that could trigger magic ability, so the number of mages, warlocks, or shamans in the clan was extremely small.
In other words, they were born warriors.
Compared with them, those adventurers were more dexterous and astute. They often had excellent martial arts and rich experience. After experiencing many dangers, they regained stability, and even got married and started a career. Their enthusiasm for maintaining their current life was unparalleled.
In battle, they might not be as powerful and neat as the Black and White Bear Clan, but they were more brave and fierce. Each of them bravely advanced, and no one knew how many meritorious deeds they had made.
With these two elites as the core, the Void Mask Knights slowly expanded. From time to time, there were old people who retired, but there were more new members.
At present, this group of knights that did not have a long history already had 40 elite knights and 120 ordinary soldiers. Among them, even the worst soldiers had the ability to fight with senior adventurers head-on. And if they formed a formation, even senior adventurers would not dare to face them head-on.
Not long ago, under the leadership of their commander, Gerrard, they went deep into the Graystone Mountains and fought with an evil dragon.
After a fierce battle, the green dragon finally chose to surrender, made an oath, and became the mount of their commander, Gerrard.
This made the first master of the Church of the Void Mask, the high priest Leon Igor, very jealous. So he finally made up his mind to go deep into the big swamp near Gars City alone, and used all kinds of threats and temptations to force the famous swamp overlord, the green dragon "Shadow of the Poisonous Swamp," Galstobi, to bow his head and become his mount. Finally, he became a dragon knight.
