The inlaid leather armor is made of elastic soft leather reinforced with dense metal rivets. Due to the dense metal inlaid in it, it is naturally better than ordinary leather armor in terms of defense. At the same time, the weight is not as heavy as metal armor, and since the joints are made of soft leather, it does not hinder movement. Archers, light infantry and light cavalry, as well as other movements that require more agile mobility, are the favorites of this type of army to choose this equipment. At the same time, because the cost is relatively low, it is deeply loved by mercenaries and soldiers.

…
When people were excited, or admiring, or hating, or whispering indifferently about the battle the night before, Dane was carrying a hood that could cover most of his head. Hooded, with a pale face, stood at the port of Shawan Port, watching the Long Sail slowly leave the port and head south.
"Let's go too." The person standing next to him, who was dressed like him, was naturally Emre, "General Morno is still waiting for you."
"Yeah." Dane nodded and turned away.
Half an hour later, the four fast horses left Shawan Harbor and galloped towards the north-west.
Originally, Dane naturally wanted to return to Cormyr with his own ship and the materials he bought. There are many things on the island, although most of them are handed over to his subordinates, but as a lord, he can't leave his lair for too long. Although some unsettling things happened in Shawan Port, they have been resolved after all, and Emre also kept his promise. He moved a few boxes of gold coins to Dane's boat that night, and he didn't lose money.
Therefore, although he really wanted to meet General Morno, who had always listened to him highly and treated him well, in the end, after comprehensive consideration, he chose to refuse Emre's retention.
However, something Emre said afterwards made him change his mind.
If, as Emre said, this matter is negotiated, then this will be of great help to his future development. Whether it is the development from Comilla Island or the preparation for returning to the mainland in the future, this is a good opportunity.
Of course, he had to go to Moreno to discuss the specific situation, and Emre couldn't be such a big master. So, he agreed to spend a few days to go to Rotten Wolf Town.
…
As the horse raced on, in less than a day, when dusk fell, the desolate and corrupt outline of Rotten Wolf Town was already vividly seen.
After taking a long breath of the familiar wind and sand, a smile appeared on the corner of Dane's mouth.
Without alarming anyone, he and Emre did not enter Rotten Wolf Town, but went to a fort just beside Rotten Wolf Town—White Wolf Fort.
White Wolf Fort is the lair of Morno, the half-orc warlord who controls Rotten Wolf Town. Comparing White Wolf Castle and Marlon Manor, you should know why Malone occupied Shawan Harbor which was much more prosperous than Rotten Wolf Town. However, he was still in a state of embarrassment under Morno's pressing step by step.
Dane had never been to Marlon Manor, but he had heard of it. It was a land of rare abundance in Schindler, close to an oasis. After Ma Long occupied that place, he built a wall to surround the entire oasis, recruited slaves to farm, and he himself built a villa inside the wall, enjoying his life extremely.
And the White Wolf Fort in front of him, just like its name, really seemed to be a white wolf in the yellow wind and sand, ready to pounce on the enemy at any time. The castle made of white bricks and stones is no longer so clean because of the baptism of wind and sand. It has been smeared with a layer of burnt yellow, but it looks so vicissitudes and rough.
And Morno, for the past ten years, has been training his army in this desolate castle.
His symbol is a running white wolf, and his army, the White Wolf Guard, is the most elite warrior in the southeastern region of Schindler. In particular, among the White Wolf Guards, there was a small white wolf cavalry brigade with perhaps only about 300 people, which made Morno's enemies even more frightened.
Approaching the gate of White Wolf Castle, Dane saw the long-admired White Wolf Cavalry. These people wore inlaid leather armor, covered most of their bodies with white burqas, and thick, wide scarves covered their necks, mouths and noses, only revealing a pair of eyes. This is the standard equipment of the White Wolf Cavalry. The inlaid leather armor provides a good defense, and at the same time it will not affect the combat of these agile cavalry; within the armor.
Two teams of cavalry, riding huge wargs, stood well-trained in front of the castle. The city gate was wide open, as if waiting for someone.
What they were waiting for was naturally Dane and Emre.
The silent cavalrymen were silent, except for the occasional growl of the restless warg, there was no other sound.
Walking side by side with Emre, walking in the passage leading to the gate of the castle left by the two teams of white wolf cavalry, it was like reviewing an army.
An inexplicable emotion rose in Dane's heart. He was enjoying himself. Will there be a day in his future when he can walk in his army and accept the attention ceremony? The current scene is not enough for him. He hopes that what is on both sides is not someone else's army, but what truly belongs to him. Moreover, the ostentation is not big enough. In his imagination, it would be appropriate to have thousands of troops.
The two rode two war horses, and under the protection of two teams of white wolf cavalry, they walked slowly into the castle. Then, two teams of wolf cavalry followed suit. The lowered city gate and drawbridge were slowly pulled up under the shouts of the soldiers.
White Wolf Castle is not big, and there are no residents living in it. Except for more than 2,000 soldiers and some blacksmiths, cobblers, and grooms who serve the army, there are only Morno and his family.
The horse was handed over to the groom to lead away, and under the leadership of Emre, Dane headed for the core building of White Wolf Castle, which was also the residence of the owner, General Morno.
When I saw Morno, it was in his study.
"Hahaha! Dane! It's been a long time! I heard that you went to sea to develop? What a pity, how many times I have told you that if you come to work with me, I will bring you a corps, you are If you don’t listen, you have to go to Laoshizipo Island to eat fish!”
Dane smiled slightly and said, "Everyone has his own ambitions. I'd rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix."
"Tsk tsk, then why have you been with that bastard old Bynes for so long?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Dane said, "Isn't he dead now?"
"Haha! Sure enough, I know that old thing won't hold you back for long!"
