Chapter 784 Blood Harbor Speed
Isabella sighed deeply as she rode on her horse.
When she saw the way people looked at Zeus, she knew that she would no longer be their queen.
Being a queen is actually a very simple thing. She just needs to charge forward, pave a way, and people will follow.
But now, when she raised her head, there was a figure in front of her that she needed to chase.
Thinking of this, Isabella couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
"Go faster, Galahad. What are you capable of? Open it."
"It won't open." Galahad said with a bitter face.
[Knight] can share power with his mount, and can also distribute power to his companions around him to strengthen them.
Because the enhancement range is limited, it is a huge improvement for mortals, but it is relatively useless for extraordinary people. It is also an ability that cannot be used in extraordinary combat.
This ability is usually activated when the cavalry is charging, and can greatly increase the movement speed.
But if you use it to rush, it will be difficult to maintain for too long.
"Maybe we should get a diesel engine."
"I don't trust new energy vehicles like internal combustion engines." Isabella frowned. "Just think about it, there are explosions happening under your butt all the time. If any one of them goes wrong, it could send you sky high. This is too outrageous."
"In fact, if nothing goes wrong, we can send people to heaven."
Most of the current diesel locomotives are experimental models jointly manufactured by Tata and Monica.
There's no need to say much about these two legendary researchers; their names alone could stop a child from crying at night.
If Hughes hadn't insisted on it, the car might not have brakes.
Even now, the car is equipped with an ejection seat, and the gear lever can be pulled all the way to enter takeoff mode.
——The reason why it is called takeoff mode instead of flight mode is because there is no landing gear.
Generally, only extraordinary people would ride it.
Galahad drove one and thought the experience was pretty good, so he bought one with his own salary.
On the one hand, he can strengthen his mounts, and a combustion engine locomotive naturally counts as a mount. He can even chat directly with the engine's spirit, and the two have become good friends.
The internal combustion engine spirit is much more passionate and has a more explosive personality than the taciturn steam engine spirit.
The kind of person who will explode with you if they have a disagreement.
As for the lack of brakes, it was not a big problem. Galahad made some minor modifications to the car and successfully solved this minor problem.
He dug a hole under the driver's seat so he could put his foot in to apply the foot brake.
However, after seeing him driving, Isabella firmly refused to ride. Galahad was very distressed and he couldn't understand why.
In fact, he should reflect on why he can chat with the spirit of the internal combustion engine - he is actually a pretty good driver.
As a knight, squeezing every last bit of horsepower out of the horse is normal, and he brought this style to driving.
The thing that an internal combustion engine that uses explosives as fuel has the most is power.
Monica's car was as docile as a lamb in front of Galahad.
Without Galahad knowing it, he had already become known as the fastest runner in Blood Harbor. Many banshees coveted the title and competed with him secretly, but they couldn't even see his taillights.
Perhaps in the future, the [Knight] path will get rid of the title of the weakest extraordinary path. In fact, there is such a trend now. Galahad has also taught himself some mechanical technology and is thinking about modifying the car.
As for Isabella.
She resolutely refused to take a car and chose to ride a horse.
This time after leaving Xius, she planned to step up her offensive.
There was no way. People's identification with Castel was so strong that even she couldn't help but think so subconsciously.
It is a good thing to have strong allies, but it is hard to say if the allies are ridiculously strong.
If she hurried to conquer more of the empire now, she might be able to compete with Castel in the future. If she was too late and Castel used all his strength, she would probably be inferior to Zeus for the rest of her life.
But her arrogance didn't allow her to be a human being, so she wanted to take off the crown again.
As for Jules
Honestly, Isabella didn't think it would be a difficult problem.
Pope Jules is strong, not the Holy See.
She has been the queen for so many years and she doesn’t know what the Holy See is like?
If the Pope relies on himself alone, no matter how capable he is in creating things out of thin air, his limit is limited and he can be killed by a pile of people.
Moreover, Isabella also has some accomplishments in the supernatural. Although she is not a supernatural person, the royal family has always done a lot of research on the supernatural.
In her opinion, Jules's creations out of thin air could not be without cost, and the fact that those creations turned into pollution was proof of that.
The fact that cognitive interference would cause pollution should not have been exempted. Jules just found a way to transfer the cost or delay the cost.
In short, this ability to create things out of thin air cannot turn the tide of the war. When it comes to large-scale warfare, no one is better than Isabella, not even Zeus.
The largest wars Hughes commanded were only the Deep Sea War and the Battle of the North, one of which only covered Caster Island and the other was a crushing defeat.
As for Isabella, her reputation was earned through wars. The empire was cultivated with bayonets and gunpowder, and it rose up surrounded by powerful enemies.
She was playing in a disadvantageous situation.
Now that she has the advantage, there is no reason for her to lose.
She took the train and then rode horseback, and it didn't take long for her to return to the front line with Galahad.
It’s not that she has to go to the battlefield in person, but mainly because the Principality of Tis has a long and narrow territory and lacks strategic depth. It was almost pushed to the seaside by the empire before.
The front line was not far from her command center.
Isabella did not have many capable people under her command. The previous purge among the nobles was too severe, and the talents to be trained from scratch had to grow slowly.
Therefore, as soon as she and Galahad left, Tis's attack immediately slowed down, and the two sides entered a stalemate.
Although the empire had been shrinking before, it was not in retreat. Although Isabella's new army had strong firepower, logistics was actually a big problem.
When Zeus went on an expedition to the north, he also built a railway there first, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble if he just built a supply line directly.
For example, it has been raining recently and many Gatling guns have gotten stuck in the mud and cannot be sent to the battlefield.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that each of the banshees has several Gatling guns, they look like small water pipes.
Strictly speaking, Gatling guns are not heavy machine guns, but machine guns.
This hand-cranked Gatling gun is full-sized and has a heavy base. It is impossible to lift it with human power, and it requires a large number of people to move it. Usually, wheels are installed on the base and it is pulled by livestock.
Fortunately, without heavy weapons, the bolt-action rifles alone were enough to give them an overwhelming advantage over the Empire, so Isabella felt relieved.
Nothing will happen.
