"Shu 'er, do you have any thoughts on the matter of His Majesty ordering you to return to the capital?”
Looking at Lin Xie's slightly graying hair and worried face, Lin Shu was slightly moved. She told Nie Zhen what she had said before and said,""Father, I want to bring a few hundred cavalry back to the capital.”
"Why? Could it be…"
"Father, you're thinking too much. I'm just thinking that this trip back to the capital will be extremely dangerous, and I'll need some helpers by my side.”
Lin Xie sat there, his expression uncertain. Although Lin Shu did not say it explicitly, if Emperor Liang was determined to eradicate their Lin family, it was also possible for him to set up an ambush along the way and kill Lin Shu directly. At that time, what could he say if he pushed the blame to the bandits in the mountains?
"Alright, I will give you 400 cavalrymen to accompany you back to the capital on the excuse of going home to visit your parents. When you reach the capital, protect yourself well and don't think of your parents.”Lin Xie was silent for a moment and then said in a low voice,""If there's really any danger, don't worry about us. You can escape from the capital. The world is so big, there will always be a place for you! Besides, I am in charge of the Red Flame Army. If His Majesty really wants to touch you, he needs to consider my thoughts.”
Lin Shu was touched. He knew that Lin Xie was loyal to Emperor Liang. Before Emperor Liang ascended the throne, he was an old friend of many years. After supporting Emperor Liang to ascend the throne, he did not fulfill his vow to share wealth and prosperity with him. Lin Xie did not complain at all and still firmly guarded the northern border for him. But now…his father was completely disappointed in Emperor Liang. He was even prepared to be killed in the future.
The next morning, Lin Shu went to the military camp to select cavalrymen.
With Lin Xie's words and Lin Shu's outstanding performance these days, these cavalrymen already had a very deep affection for Lin Shu. When they heard that Lin Shu was going to choose personal guards, they all stood straight on the school field with their horses, waiting for Lin Shu to choose.
Looking at the eager gazes of these cavalrymen, Lin Shu smiled slightly. His return to the capital this time was not like these soldiers who saw the glory on the surface. Only he knew the dangers inside.
The people Lin Shu wanted to choose had to be loyal and skilled at the same time. He had to be prepared for both sides. These cavalrymen were his last life-saving means, so the selection process was especially careful.
Unfortunately, there were certain rules for a general to return to the capital. With his identity, he could not have more than 50 personal guards. Among the 400 people promised by Lin Xie, 350 of them had to return in the name of returning to the capital to visit their relatives. If there were no such restrictions, Lin Shu really wanted to return to the capital with these 5,000 cavalrymen. At that time, the world was so big, who would dare to stop him? Who could stop him!
After a strict selection, the final 400 people were selected. Most of these 400 people were the elites of the remaining 800 cavalrymen who had followed Lin Shu through life and death.
After selecting these people, Lin Shu immediately brought them to the quartermaster. She took Nie Zhen's letter and carried over 2,000 sets of armor and weapons. At the same time, she brought a few days 'worth of dry rations and sent them to the hillside 30 miles away from the camp.
He wanted to synthesize the blade armor, and he definitely could not let anyone see this. After the armor was delivered, he immediately ordered all the cavalry to return to the camp and pick him up in two hours.
Looking at the pile of broken armors, most of them were leather and bamboo armors, and they were all broken. However, these were not important. The system did not say that they had to be in good condition.
After preparing all this, Lin Shu summoned the system.
"I want to synthesize the Blade Set. Do you think these are enough?”
"System checking. Host has a total of 2,325 pieces of armor, 131 of which are unusable. 438 pieces of the Blade Set can be synthesized.”
"400 sets will be enough.”
"User has synthesized 400 pieces of the Blade Set. Consuming 400 Points.”
Lin Shu saw a ray of light instantly cover the armor in front of him. In the blink of an eye, more than 2,000 pieces of worn-out armor disappeared and were replaced by 400 pieces of the Blade Set!
It was Lin Shu's first time seeing such a blade set. This blade set was made of black leather armor, with a copper mirror on the chest and back. It even had light leg and arm armor, which could be tied to the leg or arm with a belt to protect the leg and arm joints.
Lin Shu picked up a set of blade armor. It was very light. Obviously, it was only light armor, but in terms of defense, it was definitely much stronger than the leather armor from before. He casually picked up a spear and stabbed it hard into the leather armor. With his strength, although he finally pierced through the leather armor, he felt a strong resistance from his hand. If it was an ordinary person, it would be really hard to cut through this leather armor.
He was pleasantly surprised. If he could take out this blade set in this battle, he could definitely reduce the losses of the cavalry by half.
He picked up a set of clothes and put them on neatly. He looked at his body carefully. The key parts were basically protected, and it was very light. It had little effect on his body movements.
