Curiously, Zhao Yang opened a box, and his eyes brightened at the sight before him. Inside lay a collection of black armor. This deep black, intricately linked armor resembling fish scales was none other than the Fish Scale Armor! It was the highest-grade military armor of the Han Dynasty, reserved exclusively for high-ranking generals.
Possessing such armor was already a capital offense, let alone the act of forging such high-end military equipment. If the Zhao Family Village were to be discovered in this matter, the entire family could face extermination without question.
With each box opened, the evidence of Zhao Family Village's illegal dealings continued to mount. Once all the boxes were fully opened, it became almost certain that if this secret were to be exposed, it would not only lead to the family's destruction but also implicate even their domesticated pigs and their offspring.
There were over a dozen sets of Fish Scale Armor, along with more than three hundred pieces of ordinary iron armor and over a hundred standard weapons, most of which were unassembled but could be quickly put to use with some wooden handles.
Faced with such a vast arsenal, Yun Xiao Yi was almost willing to believe that it stemmed from some scheme of Zhao An. It was no wonder he hesitated to explain. Which law-abiding citizen would hide such a massive stockpile of weapons and equipment? However, upon closer inspection, the power hidden behind the small Zhao Family Village was indeed considerable, rivaling that of some mid-sized noble families.
Do not underestimate the significance of three hundred pieces of armor; in the grand battles of ancient China, this number might seem trivial. Yet among armies numbering in the hundreds of thousands or even millions, very few could don armor. Even the lowest-grade paper or leather armor was a mark of elite soldiers. Metal armor was even rarer.
Historical examples abound: although the Tang Dynasty's territory was vast, records show that during its unification campaigns, only about three thousand elite soldiers known as the Xuanjia Army achieved remarkable feats in battle. Even for such a powerful dynasty as the Tang, one of the prominent clans could muster only this number of armored warriors.
This illustrates how greatly undervalued metal armor can be. Once trained soldiers are equipped with metal armor, they can easily defeat numerically superior foes. Especially when facing disorganized troops like Huang Jin's army, just a few hundred armored warriors on horseback could challenge thousands of enemies and stand a good chance of victory.
This is one of the key reasons why throughout history, personal or civilian ownership of military armor has been strictly prohibited. It also explains why historical records depict Zhao Yun as someone who could rise rapidly due to his personal charisma and leadership skills, leading numerous righteous armies to victory in a short time. It is likely not just his exceptional martial arts that contributed to this but also the substantial support from armor and weaponry behind him.
Clearly, Zhao Yun did not rally heroes merely through words; there was much more at play.
Zhao Yun lacked the charm that could captivate people's hearts, and the Zhao Family did not possess the illustrious background of the Yuan Family. Therefore, even if he shouted in encouragement, it was merely that—shouting in encouragement.
What was even more surprising was that among a pile of ordinary weapons, there lay a spear that stood out with its brilliance and uniqueness. This spear was incredibly sharp and was clearly the legendary Shen Lan.
Zhao An held the spear in one hand and solemnly presented it to Yun Xiao Yi. "This spear is named Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear, forged meticulously from meteorite iron from beyond the heavens. Honorable sir, our Zhao Family Village truly has no rare treasures to offer, so we have specially chosen this spear as a gift. Please be sure to accept it."
As Yun Xiao Yi received the heavy spear, his arm sank slightly under its weight, almost causing him to drop this precious item. Fortunately, he managed to place it into his backpack just in time and quickly took it out again. Thankfully, this action prevented any mishaps.
"Oh my, this is actually Zhao Yun's Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear." It was no wonder he had not seen Zhao Yun wield it before. He had thought that perhaps Zhao Yun treasured it so much due to its rarity that he was reluctant to use it. But it turned out that he hadn’t even obtained it.
Despite the spear being exceptional, for me, it felt like a pearl cast before swine. The main issue was that I did not know how to wield a spear. If it were modern quick-draw techniques, I could try to learn. However, this ancient style of spear fighting truly did not suit me—not at all!
I would need to start practicing from a young age. Moreover, as a so-called deity, I would likely rarely participate directly in combat in the future.
Even in unavoidable circumstances, why go for the Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear? Simply assigning a few Rock Blocks would be enough to solve the problem. Even the renowned Lu Bu, when faced with a solid Gneiss wall, would only appear powerless. After all, it holds no practical value for me. So aside from its attractive exterior, the Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear is almost indistinguishable from an ordinary Wood Stick.
I scrutinized the Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear and then casually tossed it to Zhao Yun. Therefore, Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear, you might as well go to where you belong. I won’t be needing you; consider it a gift.
In Chapter Eighteen of "Three Kingdoms: Why Am I, a Blockhead, Considered a Celestial Being?"
Huh? Zhao Yun instinctively caught the Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear, his face filled with confusion. Is this spear really meant for me? The next moment, Zhao Yun's face flushed with excitement. In fact, ever since he laid eyes on the Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear, he had been drooling over it. Having practiced martial arts and spear techniques since childhood,
His love for excellent martial arts had long become an instinct.
