Thinking of this, Lu G's eyelids twitched.

He realized that when Lu Jang went to search for the corpses of the invaders, he completely did not find any weapons they left behind.

Looking at the current situation, they must have been picked up by the people from the barbarian bear tribe.

Realizing this, Lu Gi couldn't help but make a gesture of putting his hand to his forehead.

I have indeed entered a period of bad luck.

Taking a deep breath, Lu G's gaze fell back on Yishan.

In any case, you all stay in the tribe to recuperate for the next few days, and I will also send someone over to teach you how to use bows and arrows.

Clearly, judging by this trend, it would not be long before slingshots spread among the barbarians.

Although slingshots are less effective against thick-skinned and tough beasts, their lethality against humans is undeniable.

A heavy blow is enough to cause severe injury, and the threat they pose cannot be underestimated.

Luog felt the need to prepare early to weaken the threat of slingshots.

There are simple solutions.

The first method is to make helmets.

As long as you protect your vulnerable head.

While blunt attacks from stone projectiles hitting other parts of the body may still be painful, they would not be fatal.

The second method is to make shields.

Shields and armor are probably the two most famous pieces of protective gear from the cold weapon era.

However, given Luog's current situation of having no metal or no forging tools and no forging methods, he couldn't expect to make metal helmets.

The Wolf Bone Mask does have some defensive capability, but unfortunately, the quantity is limited and it can only block one side.

Thus, shields have become his best option in this situation.

Previously, there was no need for shields.

So, he never wasted time and energy on this matter.

But now with the spread of ranged weapons, the demand for shields is clearly going to increase significantly.

The styles and types of shields are neither too many nor too few.

As a fan of strategy war games, Luog naturally has some understanding of this as it will affect the defensive and mobility capabilities of various troops.

Broadly speaking, they can be divided into three types.

Large shields, medium shields, and small shields.

Small shields generally refer to small round shields, also known as fighting shields, which are very lightweight and small in size.

Suitable for one-on-one duels, but not very suitable for warfare.

Large shields, colloquially known as door panels, indeed resemble a large door panel in shape, are very large, severely impacting mobility, and are suitable for arming heavy infantry and large-scale army advances.

After this simple filtering, Luog's next choice became apparent.

Neither too big nor too small, the versatile medium shield.

Once the choice was confirmed, making the medium shield did not require bothering Yishien, who is currently researching the threebow crossbow.

It is not a complicated thing.

Just call Lu Shu and a few others, and prepare the materials for making it, and they can get started.

The entire shield is determined to be a round shield made from wood, mainly because there are no better options.

The inner side will have a grip handle and the outer side will have a curve to better deflect force.

At the same time, considering the sturdiness of the entire round wooden shield, the outer surface will be wrapped with a layer of tough hard leather, which can make it sturdier and also increase its defensive capability to some extent.

With Luog's guidance, a simple round leather shield quickly took shape.

System prompt.

Congratulations to player Lu G for successfully crafting a round leather shield.

Ignoring the system prompt that echoed in his mind, Lu G held the finished round leather shield and weighed in his hands.

Although it is wooden, considering its defensive capability, they had specifically worked on the shield's thickness during production, so it felt quite substantial when held.

After trying out the feel, Luog raised a round leather shield and assumed a defensive posture.

You all attack me with a stone spear.

I want to test the defensive power of this leather shield.

As soon as Luo G said this, everyone in the armory department was taken aback.

They all instinctively took on a silent stance of observing their surroundings with apprehension.

What a joke.

That is the chief.

Who would dare? Even if it's just testing the shield's defense, no one would dare.

Faced with this situation, Lu Gi felt speechless.

He understood Lu Shu and the others concerns.

But it's not bragging.

With the strength of the armory department members, he could easily knock over several of them by himself.

Don't just hesitate.

Lu, you're up.

Hurry, Lu, who was called out by Lu G, felt like crying without tears.

Chief, please let someone else take the shield.

If you take the shield, I wouldn't dare to make a move.

Chapter 102.

new equipment and new troops.

After much persuasion, Lajia finally convinced Lu Shu.

At this point, most of the other warriors in the tribe were either on missions or patrolling the outskirts.

Calling them back would waste a lot of time for no reason.

As for letting ordinary tribe members try it out, that would be truly dangerous and would not demonstrate the effectiveness of the round leather shield.

Looking at Lu Shu, who was trembling with a stone spear in his hands, it was as if he was about to face execution.

Lajia rolled his eyes and said, "All right, steady your feet.

Lower your center of gravity and thrust harder.

Otherwise, how can we test it?" At that moment, Lucu was almost in tears.

Chief, really, I'm serious.

Please let someone else do it.

Or I can hold the shield and you can thrust.

Quit it.

With your skills, what effect can you test with a shield? Come on, attack boldly.

Don't forget, as your chief, I at least have a wolf bone mask.

Hearing this, Lucu was momentarily stunned.

Indeed, although it was no longer necessary for the chief to charge into battle at this stage, when their tribe first arrived here, their chief had killed starving wolves and was one of the warriors qualified to wear the wolf bone mask.

Theoretically, with his skills, the chief should be able to knock him down with one hand.

However, for whatever reason, the tenacious Lu Shu insisted, "Let us really get someone else.

" But Luia coldly rejected him.

Forced into a corner, Lu Shu finally gritted his teeth and thrust the spear towards Luajia's position, causing a stir among the armory staff.

They were not amazed by the power of Lucu's thrust, but rather by his courage to make a move.

In contrast, Luaji remained calm.

As he had said before, with Lu's skills, even if Lajia were unarmed, Lu still wouldn't pose much of a threat.

As Lucu's spear approached, Luajia stepped forward, raised a round leather shield, and took the initiative to meet the attack.

Then there was a dull thud sound.

Feeling the impact on the shield, Lajia realized that even if he blocked it hard, he could still withstand it.

However, to test the shield's design, he took a step and immediately followed up with a shield counter.

This sudden move caught Lucu off guard.

At that moment, he felt a sharp pain in his hands holding the spear.

And by the time he regained his senses, his spear had already been knocked away by Luaja's shield counter, staring blankly at his still trembling hands.

Lucu had no idea what had just happened, while the onlookers were thoroughly astonished by their chief as strength.

However, Luajia didn't te care about that.

After successfully countering Lu Shu s thrust with a shield, he quickly checked the surface of the round leather shield.

Against the spear's attack, the shield was almost completely intact.

The layer of leather covering it had played a crucial role.

Thinking of this, Lajak couldn't te help but laugh.

Feeling extremely satisfied with the shield's defensive capability.

Lucu, from now on, the armory will fully focus on producing this round leather shield.
