[Chapter 264 Whose Equipment is More Powerful]
Magnolia is the personal guard knight of Princess Sofia. She can become the personal guard knight of the princess not only because she is a woman, but also because she is a very good knight.
Even in the Tilan Knights, Magnolia’s strength has been widely recognized. If she had not become the personal guard knight of Her Royal Highness, Magnolia would have had a chance to become one of the senior commanders of the Tilan Knights.
From the perspective of personal development and future, becoming the personal guard knight of Her Royal Highness is not a good choice. It almost means that she will never have any “future” in her life. She can only exist as the personal guard knight of Her Royal Highness in this life.
Promotion? Military merit? Promotion? All these will be gone from her!
At the beginning, His Majesty the King did not force her to accept this appointment. Magnolia could refuse.
But she still accepted this task. She felt that as a knight, she should accept all the tasks she can complete, instead of deciding what to do and what not to do because of “future” and “development”.
So Magnolia swore allegiance to Her Royal Highness Princess Sofia, and followed Her Royal Highness to Winter City, a new town located in the most remote part of the Kingdom of Tiran and which had just been incorporated into the territory of the Kingdom of Tiran for less than two years.
Before coming to Winter City, she had prepared for a hard life. After all, it was difficult for a new city located in a remote northern border to have a very good living environment. Even
if the lord’s residence was slightly better, it would be given priority to the Lord of Winter and Her Royal Highness Princess.
Unexpectedly, Winter City was completely different from what she had initially expected.
Winter City was clean and had no peculiar smell. There were flat and wide stone slabs everywhere; soft beds that were so comfortable that people didn’t want to get up, faucets that could produce clean water with a slight twist, and electric lights that could make the house as bright as day with a slight press…
The magical facilities and strict and harsh public security regulations all showed the uniqueness of Winter City.
As a knight, Magnolia paid more attention to the Winter Knights, the trump card force of Winter City.
At first, like other colleagues, she did not take the so-called Winter Knights seriously, thinking that it was just a team for show, just like the Knights formed by most lords.
Considering that the Earl of Glamorgan had only been a noble for about a year, his Knights were also a new army that had just been formed not long ago.
No matter how you look at it, the Winter Knights are a group that is not worth mentioning.
Until she saw the Winter Knights wearing heavy armor with her own eyes.
Later, she learned that this exaggerated heavy armor was called Blizzard Power Armor, and she also learned that the weapon used by the Winter Knights was a weapon called Garand Rifle, and she saw with her own eyes how amazing the power of these equipment was.
At that time, she became curious about these equipment of the Winter Knights, but she didn’t expect to be able to experience it herself so quickly.
Looking at Her Royal Highness, who was also wearing power armor standing not far away, she felt that she had to perform well and must not embarrass the Tiran Knights, let alone Her Royal Highness!
Seriously recalling what Freud had told her not long ago, she gently performed various simple movements with her hands, feeling the various conditions of this suit of power armor called Blizzard.
“Are you ready?”
After a simple activity, a Cybertronian called Transformer next to her began to urge impatiently.
Magnolia turned her head and looked at the Cybertronian. Although she still thought that this metal giant was amazing, she did not satisfy her curiosity at this time, but simply said: “I’m ready.” “Let’s
go!”
The other party stretched out his hand and grabbed Magnolia in his hand, and then flew into the sky. In the blink of an eye, Magnolia had been caught by the huge Cybertronian and flew into the air together.
“You have ten seconds!”
Magnolia stood on the Cybertronian’s hand, looking at the training ground that had become very small, without any hesitation.
Just two seconds later, Magnolia jumped off the Cybertronian’s hand and fell straight down at high speed!
“Oh wow~ Very courageous!”
The Cybertronian transformed into a huge metal bird and circled not far away. Magnolia remembered that this thing was called an airplane?
However, after a few glances, she retracted her attention, adjusted her falling posture according to the way Freud taught her, and started the thrusters on her back.
As the thrusters started, Magnolia felt herself suddenly paused in mid-air, and the speed of her fall slowed down a lot. If she continued to maintain this state, she could land steadily, but this was not what she wanted.
When she jumped down from the Cybertronian, she started the timer. At this time, the numbers that kept jumping could be clearly seen on the upper left of the display interface of the power armor.
Weaken, strengthen, weaken, strengthen!
Magnolia kept operating the thrusters. She always used the thrusters to slow down briefly when the alarm sounded, and accelerated her landing speed while ensuring that she would not fall to death.
Finally, she managed to land safely in a very short time, and immediately raised the Garand rifle she had been holding in her hand, and quickly moved forward while pulling the trigger at the targets that kept appearing around her…
David looked at the soldiers who were moving quickly and shooting non-stop, occasionally stopping to fire missiles, and walked to Floyd’s side.
“My lord!”
Floyd was watching the performance with a smile, but suddenly he found someone approaching him without him noticing, and he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
When he turned around and found that it was the Lord, he calmed down. Floyd already knew how powerful David was, and it was not surprising that the Lord could walk to his side silently.
At the same time, this also meant that David did not want to make too much noise, and Floyd lowered his voice when greeting him. Only a few Winter Knights nearby noticed the Lord’s arrival, and the others continued to watch the performance.
“Is that Magnolia? Princess Sofia’s personal guard knight?”
“Yes!”
Floyd briefly introduced the situation: Princess Sofia brought her personal guard knight to visit the military camp, and during the visit, she showed great interest in the power armor and said she wanted to experience it herself.
Floyd did not refuse the request of Her Royal Highness. Moreover, David had long ago instructed that there was no need to hide various things in Winter City from Her Royal Highness.
So when Princess Sofia expressed her desire to experience power armor, Floyd immediately found a set for her and personally served as the instructor.
“Is this a training program or a test program?”
“Both!”
Floyd briefly introduced the process. According to the standards of the Winter Knights, the time starts from airborne, landing safely, passing through specific obstacle areas while using various weapons to hit all targets, reaching the target location and completing the final tasks that appear randomly, such as rescue and killing, and taking no more than ten minutes to pass.
“It sounds like a very interesting project.”
While listening to Floyd’s introduction and watching Magnolia’s performance on the field, David had the idea of going up to experience it.
Just as he was thinking about this, Magnolia had already killed to the final location and successfully hit the final target.
“How long?”
“Thirteen minutes and twenty-eight seconds.” Floyd had been timing, and when David asked, he immediately gave a clear answer, and also gave more comments: “This Knight Tilan is not familiar with firearms and other hot weapons. If she is familiar with the use of hot weapons, she should be able to easily complete these projects within ten minutes.”
“Yeah!”
David also saw that when Magnolia was shooting, she either took a little longer to aim or had to fire a few extra shots. She was also unfamiliar with the coordination of firearms and missiles, grenades and other weapons, and needed some time to think.
Even so, it was only three and a half minutes slower. This shows that her strength is indeed strong. No wonder she can become the princess’s personal guard knight.
Just as David was thinking about this, he suddenly saw Princess Sofia wearing a power armor and walked into the field, and greeted Jingtianlei who had fallen back to the ground.
Before David had time to do anything, the Knight Magnolia had already rushed to Sofia’s side, probably to persuade Princess Sofia not to try such a dangerous thing.
Princess Sofia walked back with a look of regret, and found David standing next to Floyd. She immediately put on a surprised smile and ran to David happily.
“How is it? Does it look amazing?” Sofia held the helmet in one hand and pinched her waist with the other hand, then stood in front of David with her head slightly raised, waiting for David’s praise.
David smiled and praised a few words, then glanced at Magnolia who followed.
The female knight also took off her helmet, revealing her short brown hair, and immediately saluted and greeted David, the Lord of Winter.
David smiled and nodded in response, and seemed to ask casually: “How does it feel to use the blizzard power armor?”
“This heavy armor called blizzard power armor is a very powerful equipment!”
“Compared with the equipment of the Tilan Knights?”
“…”
David did not hear any answer from Magnolia, but through the reaction of the female knight, David had already got the answer he wanted.
Obviously, the Tilan Knights also have equipment “similar” to power armor, but I don’t know what it looks like?
David guessed that the Dilan Knights were most likely to have enchanted equipment, which enhanced their combat effectiveness by adding powerful magical effects to armor, weapons and other equipment.
He didn’t know if his guess was right, but he was sure that the Dilan Kingdom did have stronger equipment.
