Chapter 77:Knight Duel

But this full-body armor, representing the pinnacle of cold weapon defense, was something he was personally experiencing for the first time.

However, Allen wasn't entirely clueless; he had some basic understanding.

When a knight donned high-quality full plate armor, there were only two obvious weak points: the armpits.

Even the armpits were protected by chainmail, making it nearly impossible for even a skilled knight to pierce through the plate armor and chainmail with a single strike.

The plate armor's ergonomic design and connection techniques gave it far more flexibility than its appearance suggested.

Full plate armor offered the best defense among armors of the same weight.

A flexible European plate armor weighed about 22 to 23 kg, while a Song Dynasty lamellar armor for infantry weighed about 29 kg.
