Jason's sharp eyes detected the changes to Saleen's magic amplifier right away. A ten-meter-tall weapon spirit emerged from the center and stood right behind Saleen. It then asked Jason for a shield puppet.
This type of weapon was used in battle formations to provide a defensive backup to soldiers.
Generally speaking, a platoon consisted of 50 troops. If a shield puppet was placed on each end respectively, the platoon would have been able to block charges from heavy cavalry.
Shield puppets, which were expensive, served only one function. Because they were so sturdy, it was nearly impossible for them to be damaged in battle formations.
Mages sacrificed a puppet's offensive capacities to create mobile defense equipment.
The puppet carried a pitch-black shield on its hands. Layers of magic patterns and magic arrays were a testament to the metalized shield's formidable defensive capabilities.
