-5- Regular army of the kingdom
As soon as Charlotte entered the city, she saw the army escorting Prince Philip south.
This is the first time Charlotte has seen a professional regular army of the kingdom since she came to this world, all standard armor, all transcendental.
Although the vast majority of them are not ranked, they are extremely well-equipped, and the proportion of those who are advanced is very high.
Charlotte compared her own armored knight with it, and soon found that her own team was more than a little worse in terms of extraordinary strength and equipment.
They are also fully armoured, but the armor of their knights is chain mail and scale armor made of fine iron, while the armor of the regular army of the kingdom is brighter and shinier, it is plate armor made of stainless steel, and the chest is also inlaid with magic crystals and mythril.
Charlotte, who is a man of two lives, still knows a little about plate armor, chain mail, and scale armor, and also knows the gap between them.
Chain mail is generally made of iron wire or iron ring buckle to form a garment, each ring and the other four rings are buckled, like a net lock; The scale armor is composed of layers of armor pieces, like fish scales; Plate armor, on the other hand, is made from large, plate-like pieces of metal that have been shaped, making it truly top-of-the-line armor with a much more difficult process.
Under the same weight, the protection of plate armor and the flexibility it brings to soldiers do not know how much higher than other armor, even in Blue Star, it cannot be said to be a thing of the era, plate armor gradually became popular after the fourteenth century, but chain mail and scale armor were available BC.
Not to mention those high-ranking officers, the shiny plate armor on their bodies is even more carved with exquisite and intricate magic patterns, and it is a pure gold enchanted armor melted with a large amount of mythril, and the protection is comparable to the flesh of the Silver Moon Knight.
If the two sides really make a charge, I'm afraid that it won't be completely destroyed in a few minutes......
In short, it's very eye-catching.
"Sebas, can you fight these regular armies alone?"
Charlotte glanced at the Flame Elves accompanying her and asked curiously.
Sebas looked at the regular army of the kingdom that were moving in the streets and alleys, and muttered for a moment, and said:
"As long as you don't meet them on the battlefield, of course you can fight."
"Oh? Can't you beat it on the battlefield? ”
Charlotte's heart fluttered slightly.
Sebas said in a deep voice:
"On the battlefield, they have formed a battle array and a forbidden magic array, and with the blessing of the mage, they are like iron plates, and they are often led by the transcendents of the second order of the silver moon, unless they reach the blazing sun, otherwise the madman will fight them hard."
"Forbidden Magic Array?"
Charlotte was a little curious.
"Yes, master, do you see those crystals on the top of their armor? That is a subset of the forbidden magic array, a regular army like this, each army has at least five hundred people, they are themselves a walking magic array on the battlefield, they can limit the enemy's extraordinary power within a certain range, and directly suppress the extraordinary power of the second order of the silver moon and resonance. ”
Sebas said.
As he spoke, he let out a long sigh:
"The professional regular armies of each kingdom are one of the few existences that can defeat higher-level transcendents on the battlefield, and they are also a nightmare for middle- and low-level transcendentals......"
Listening to Sebas's words, Charlotte was thoughtful.
It's been a year since she traveled to this world, and her understanding of Miria's transcendent system is not insignificant.
In the world of Miria, the four levels of transcendence, Star, Silver Moon, Blazing Sun, and Legendary, correspond to the power of the low-level, intermediate-level, high-level, and sacred realm, respectively.
Not to mention the legendary sanctuary that began to control the power of the law, among the other three levels, the lower level is the individual power to break through the limits of mortals, the middle level is the ability to release and resonate power, and the high level is the qualitative change of spiritual power, which can directly interfere with reality......
If there is a forbidden magic array that can ban the ability to release power and resonate with magic power, then the transcendents of the second order of the silver moon may not be able to please in front of these iron cans.
"Of course, if you encounter the blazing sun, it should be them who run, on the battlefield, the blazing sun is the real natural disaster, and under the blazing sun are all ants."
Sebas said again.
Blazing Sun......
Charlotte was thoughtful.
Indeed, the blazing sun is the real hole card of many big forces.
She had seen the combat power of the Grand Knight of the Inquisition, a terrifying power that could easily destroy a town with a single move, far more terrifying than the Second Order of the Silver Moon.
Blazing sun, though, is quite rare.
After leaving the Duchy of Boulder, Charlotte has never encountered a blazing sun along the way.
"Of course, because the Blazing Sun is too destructive, the various countries of Miriath prohibit the Blazing Sun from actively participating in the frontal battlefield of the war between the domestic lords, and only when the two kingdoms are at war, the Blazing Sun will act as a strategic-level force."
"As for the legend...... I'm afraid that it can only appear in the war of annihilation. ”
Sebas continued.
Charlotte nodded knowingly.
From this point of view, even if there is friction with other lords in the kingdom after she returns to the territory in the future, and a war breaks out, the most she will encounter on the battlefield is the second order of the silver moon.
Even if other lords have Blazing Sun Professions, they will not participate in the battle head-on, and as long as they do not participate in the battle head-on, with the power of True Ancestor Liberation, she should still be able to deal with it.
There are many restrictions on the power above the high level in the disputes of Miria, which is determined by the rules of the game of Miria's transcendent system.
Without rules, Miria would have been broken by high-level transcendents long ago.
And the result of this is that after the number of middle and low-level transcendents reaches a certain scale, it will also be a huge force that cannot be ignored.
Unless you have the strength to ignore the rules, unless you have the confidence to compete with the Miriatan civilized world, otherwise, you still have to play according to the rules of the civilized world.
This also made Charlotte can't help but think of the dominion of the gods over Miria.
In Miria, the power of the gods is stronger, but they do not come to this world easily.
In addition to the fact that it is difficult for the gods to descend because of their own strength, I am afraid that there is also a reason to protect Miria from being destroyed by the power of the gods.
"When I return to Castel, I'll raise an army like that."
Looking at the well-built regular army of the kingdom, Charlotte said with a little envy.
"Then we'll have to find a way to make more Quintana. Did you know? The price of these regular army's extraordinary armor is in the black market, and the price of those officers' plate armor is even more outrageous, and because it is enchanted equipment, it is not a small consumption to maintain. To create these plates, the kingdom has a fixed source of extraordinary materials, and the cost may be relatively low, but we can only buy them. ”
Sebas said.
Charlotte: ......
Damn, I suddenly feel like I'm not that rich anymore!
……
Castell's convoy was arranged by the Duke of the Moon's envoy to one of the most luxurious hotels in Anro, while Charlotte was invited to rest at the Duke's Palace.
By the time the convoy had been settled, it was already evening, and Charlotte naturally attended the dinner at the Duke's Palace, accompanied only by Sebas, Nice, as well as Lottie, who was the attendant priest, and Shirley, the valet of the valet.
The Duchy of the Moon Protector is also located in the hinterland of the Crescent Kingdom, far richer than Boulder, which can be seen from the more luxurious decoration of the Duke's Palace.
The banquet hall can accommodate 1,000 people, if not a thousand, and the crystal lamps on the dome are glittering, and the frescoes and decorations on the walls are exquisite.
Charlotte subconsciously compared it to her own estate.
Although the level of luxury of his own manor is not much worse than that of the Duke's Mansion in the Principality of the Moon Protector, it is not comparable at all in terms of scale.
Not to mention the knights of the guard who first entered the Duke's Palace, Charlotte had never seen a standard plate armor that was lower than the stars, and it was the same color, which was obviously the same style as the regular army of the kingdom.
Black Cat Nice said that the Duchy of Boulder and the Duchy of Violet are two poor and remote lands in the kingdom, one south and one north, and the Duchy of Violet is not mentioned for the time being, and she vaguely feels the poverty of the Duchy of Boulder.
Everything is afraid of comparison, compared with the Principality of the Moon, whether it is the density of towns in the principality, the appearance and infrastructure of the capital, the luxury of the Duke's Palace, and the number of transcendentals...... You can see the gap between Boulder.
What's more, the moment she entered the banquet, there was a faint sense and warning from the Blood Sacred Book in Charlotte's consciousness......
At the venue, there is a blazing sun!
Charlotte was almost immediately vigilant, putting away her thoughts of using the Bloodline magic of the Domination Technique to distract the nobles.
As with every banquet in the past half a month, Charlotte became the center of attention as soon as she entered.
Pretty people are like that, not to mention Charlotte's beauty with half-elf blood is almost to the point of fouling.
The Castelle family was already known for its beauty, but Charlotte, who became a blood clan and was influenced by the Blood Sacred Codex, has also become more noble and naturally eye-catching.
Of course, the aristocratic dress that Sebas chose for his master also played a role, reflecting the elegance and pure beauty of the girl to the fullest.
And when everyone knew Charlotte's identity, there were more nobles gathered and more enthusiastic.
A beautiful young rich and unmarried countess, I don't know how much this buff stacks.
Even if Charlotte once made an oath, it made many nobles miss and yearn for it.
After all, the ruin of the Holy Court's church in Boulder has long been spread throughout the kingdom, and who knows if the current Countess of Castel is willing to fall to the church?
If you really take shit luck, not to mention that you can have one more famous beauty, you can also kidnap half of the Principality of Boulder!
"Your Excellency, beautiful Earl, may I ask you to do a dance?"
"Lord Castel, you're as charming as moonlight tonight, may I invite you to dance along?"
Enthusiastic aristocrats vied to extend invitations to Charlotte.
The banquets in the Duke's Court are far from being comparable to the banquets of the earls, viscounts and even barons that Charlotte has attended all the way.
The nobles surrounding Charlotte vied to make their names and send out invitations, and there were almost no counts below the rank of count, and there were even two marquis who did not even have the Duchy of Boulder.
Charlotte, who was surrounded by stars and moons, twitched the corners of her eyes slightly, feeling helpless.
Fortunately, she has a lot of experience along the way.
I saw her show an apologetic expression, a weariness visible to the naked eye on her beautiful face that attracted pity, a delicate and soft voice that was gripping, and a graceful and charming gesture of pinching the corners of her skirt:
"Thank you very much for your kindness, but...... Really sorry ......."
"I've been walking on the road for too long, I'm so tired today, I'm afraid I don't have the strength to dance with you."
The girl's voice is delicate and lovely, and her eyes as blue as the sky are innocent and flawless, which makes people can't help but feel love and pity.
Looking at her big watery eyes and somewhat pale face, the words of the nobles' invitation almost immediately stuck in their throats, and they could no longer bear to say them.
Charlotte was finally out of the encirclement.
And just as Charlotte was breathing a sigh of relief, a commotion came from the entrance of the hall.
Charlotte's heart moved, and she looked in the direction of the entrance, and saw that it was the lord of the Duchy of the Moon, John de Anro, the Duke of the Moon, who had arrived, followed by two richly dressed nobles, a man and a woman.
Duke Moongo was a middle-aged nobleman who looked a little emaciated, also a Blazing Sun Third Order professional, and an archmage.
As far as Charlotte knows, he is one of the four Legion Commanders of the Crescent Kingdom, as well as the title of Advisor to the Kingdom's Cabinet.
By the way, according to the information in the study of Castell's manor, the Duke of the Moon Protector and Castel also had a small friendship.
This involves a piece of history.
In the Second Star-Moon War, the army of the Duchy of Boulder fought with the Second Legion led by the Duke of Moongo, who was not yet the military governor of the kingdom at that time, but the deputy of the Duke of Moongo, and the Countes of Castel were also companions.
Seeing Charlotte, the Duke of Moon Protector immediately showed a warm smile:
"It's Lord Count Castel, isn't it? Hehe, I haven't seen you for many years, and now you look like this...... Well, pretty. ”
Charlotte: ......
You just hesitated to change your mind when you looked at my height, right?
You hesitated for a moment before you spoke, right?!
What's wrong with being short?
Eat your rice?
She took a deep breath, pinched the corner of her skirt and gracefully saluted the Duke of the Moon Protector, looked up at the other party and smiled:
"Charlotte of Castel, has met Lord Duke of the Moon."
After saluting, Charlotte couldn't help but look at the two nobles beside the Duke of Moongo.
On the left is a handsome black-haired man, with a gorgeous robe inlaid with a crescent moon motif representing the royal family, smiling and bright.
On the right is a woman in her twenties and thirties, also smiling.
She wore a burgundy gown, with a resemblance to Leno between her eyebrows, curly blond-brown hair, and blue-gray eyes.
However, when Charlotte saw the blue-gray eyes of the female nobleman, her heart suddenly jumped.
was obviously smiling, but through the other party's eyes, Charlotte couldn't see a trace of emotion, and even felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness.
That kind of emptiness gave her a very strong sense of déjà vu......
"Introduction, this is His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and his beloved wife, Eleanor."
Noticing Charlotte's gaze, the Duke of Moon Protector took the initiative to introduce.
