Before the sun went down, Nolan arrived at Evelyn's office.

He put the draft plan on her desk and bowed, "I am going to set up the Sky Knights Order to form a regular air force for Linfeng City. ”

"Regular...... Air force? ”

Evelyn's eyes lit up, "Meaning, can you raise more 'White Ravens'?" ”

The White Raven's outstanding performance in battle is obvious to all, and if Peak City can replicate its success, its strength will undoubtedly increase greatly.

Nolan hadn't mentioned it before, and she thought that the White Raven's equipment was extremely difficult to manufacture and mass-produce, so she didn't ask much.

And now this plan was proposed by him, which means that the technical barriers to restricting mass production have finally been broken by him?

"The regular air force and the white raven are two different concepts."

Nolan corrected sternly, "What we can mass-produce is only a one-man flying device, which doesn't mean that everyone can control it as smoothly as Yuna, and the white raven is not something that everyone can do." ”

Yuna has been able to get to where she is now, turning into an undefeated white raven and becoming a symbol of the will of Peak City, not only because of the strength of Valkyrie's equipment.

Her talent for fighting is unparalleled, her combat performances are spectacular, and she and Valkyrie's gear are mutually beneficial.

The excellent quality of the equipment and the superb driving skills of the driver - if you want to become a white crow, you can't do both.

It's just that although the equipment is energy-producing, how can a talented driver be easily found?

He felt the same way, and when he flew from the alchemy workshop to the training ground in the morning, he had already fully felt the difficulty of flying.

It is necessary not only to maintain the balance of the body, but also to remotely control the various switches of the flight device.

At the same time, the instinctive fear of ground creatures when their feet are off the ground is also something that needs to be overcome.

Even if he is the inventor of the one-man flying device, even if he has rehearsed countless flying situations in his mind, even if he is already a real knight......

But when it comes to getting hands-on, I still can't do it as easily as Yuna at the beginning.

Even if he was like that, how good could the traditional knights who stayed on the ground and never looked up at the sky be?

Therefore, he didn't think that after mass-producing the flying device, Linfeng City would be able to quickly cultivate a bunch of Sky Knights whose combat ability was comparable to that of the White Raven, and his expectations were not so high.

As long as he can perform basic maneuvering, reconnaissance, and long-range support, he is already satisfied.

"Yuna is indeed very powerful, but dreams must also be required, and I am not a knight in Linfeng City?"

Evelyn took the plan and glanced at it quickly.

"Selection from the Order...... Build an independent army with you as your commander...... Well, that's fine, I approve it. ”

The so-called independent troops are combat units with special numbers that are born in the army and independent of the army, and they only obey the orders of the direct commanders of their own units.

This is not without precedent in Peak, as in the last war, she had created an independent army codenamed "621".

Nolan and Yuna's names were hanging under her name at the time.

And now, with Nolen's status and prestige, he is indeed qualified to have an independent army.

Moreover, he is the only one who can be the commander of this force.

After all, not to mention Linfeng City, I am afraid that only Nolan has the experience of forming a so-called "air force" in the entire Roland Empire.

"Oh? Promised so simply. ”

Nolan clasped his hands to his chest and smiled, "Then I'm not going to poach all the elites of the Knights?" ”

"As long as you choose, dig it up." Evelyn waved her hand.

"I believe that if they can become knights of the sky, they will definitely be able to make greater contributions to Peak City."

"I'm a little uncomfortable to be so trusted by you." Nolan teased.

"I still remember when I worked with you before, I was treated with all kinds of bad words by you, why, now suddenly so easy to speak?"

Speaking of which, my first impression of Evelyn was probably not good.

She once put on a "slave" collar for her friend, so the conversation between the two was very gunpowder when they first met.

Later, he "betrayed" Evelyn's trust in order to force the city lord's mansion to go to war, which led to the bloodshed.

Although a reconciliation was finally reached, the two had no less quarrels in the process, saying that they were friends, and they were also bad friends who would play tricks on each other.

“…… Everyone grows. ”

Being teased by Nolan, Evelyn unexpectedly did not reply, but fell into memories and said slowly.

"At that time, I didn't think that I would eventually become the city lord of Linfeng City, and everything I thought about was too superficial.

And once you realize your power and responsibility, you have to think carefully through your brain about what you want to say and do.

"So, no matter what you say, I just hope that my modest efforts can make Peak City have a better future...... That's all. ”

The setting sun shines through the glass window of the office, obliquely on her mature and delicate makeup, and her face is half shadowed and half bright.

Unconsciously, her capable temperament is indeed completely different from the silly white sweet she used to be, Nolan sighed in her heart.

I remember that Evelyn was three years older than Yuna, and she just turned twenty this year.

It's been less than half a year since they first met, and who could have imagined that a person could make such a big difference in just a few months?

Stress makes a person grow.

Of course, this growth also comes at a price, as evidenced by the faint hint of exhaustion that lies beneath her delicate makeup.

The current strength of Linfeng City is not strong, how to protect itself under the power of the empire, presumably this is the problem she has been suffering from for countless days and nights.

"Take it easy, man, and don't always put the pressure on your own shoulders."

Nolan got up, waved his hand and walked out, "Laugh when it's time to laugh, hmph, I'm still more used to the unruly you before." ”

"Heh, your personality is the same as always."

Evelyn looked at his back as he turned away, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.

"If I could learn your self-confidence, wouldn't I be a little more free-spirited?"

……

The next day, the order for the Castle Lord's Mansion to set up an independent force was soon issued within the Order.

Become a Sky Knight like the White Raven - this slogan caused an uproar within the Knights.

After all, the White Raven is a true undefeated legend with whom they have experienced a war.

Her soaring posture on the battlefield was the motivation and belief that supported every Linfeng soldier to persevere in the difficult situation.

And now, I actually have the opportunity to become a "white crow"-like existence?

Due to the request for secrecy for the time being, the matter was only spread within the Order, but every member of the Order had great interest and enthusiasm for the matter.

After checking the number of people, more than 200 people in the 500-person knight order signed up to participate, which is still after excluding more than 100 mages.

Two days later, the first group of Knights who were interested in becoming Sky Knights gathered at the training ground of the military headquarters.

"It seems that the attraction of Sky Knight is even greater than I thought."

Sitting in the referee's bench on the edge of the indoor training ground, Nolan shook the list in his hand and said, "I only have two flying devices for testing, and it seems that they have to be reviewed for a long time." ”

It is said to be an indoor training ground, but in fact, the altitude is enough for a test flight.

And there is a spell barrier inside, which can prevent some stunned pilots from suddenly losing control and flying out of the field.

"It's only two hundred, so where is it."

Evelyn on the side raised her eyebrows and said, "If you want, I can call the people from the other legions for you to choose from, they add up to tens of thousands." ”

"No, it's too inefficient." Nolan shook his head, "The Sky Knights are taking the elite route, and it is better to have a lack than an abundance. ”

Flying skills also depend on understanding, and this is not a skill that anyone can easily master.

The Knights are the most elite part of the army, and those who can join the Knights have proven their strength and talent to be superior.

If even the Knights can't pass the test...... What is the pass rate of ordinary legion?

"I have instructed the military headquarters to fully cooperate with your instructions, you can decide for yourself."

Evelyn spun around, then left the scene to Nolan and went about her business.

"Okay." Nolan leaned back slightly, motioning for Yuna behind her to lean her ear over.

"I also need you to give some opinions later, don't have any worries, just use the strictest standards to evaluate them."

"I see." Yuna nodded, expecting it.

She was also curious about how other people besides herself would behave in the solo aerial vehicle.

"So...... Now the assessment has officially begun. ”

Nolan coughed lightly, and then ordered the attendants on the side, "Call Julius and Agaté first, I want to see what they are capable of." ”

They had accompanied him to visit Flamel, and their friendship was not bad, and they all signed up for the assessment of the Sky Knights at this time.

"Yes!"

The attendants went out to speak, and after a while, the two walked in from the outdoor preparation area and stood in the middle of the training ground.

The staff on the side began to put on their equipment, and the flight equipment used in this assessment was not a psychic type, but a mechanical joystick type like the first plane.

For ordinary knights who have never been exposed to soul spells, the difficulty of the telepathic operation is actually no lower than that of the mechanical operation.

It's even more abstract because there are no physical buttons, but the upper limit of operation is higher.

Therefore, if only the subject's flying talent is to be assessed, a traditional mechanically operated jetpack is sufficient.

After all, Yuna is also used from the traditional mechanical operation type, and talented people have talent for whatever type of jetpack they use.

"This is the switch that controls the device to move forward in flight, this is the switch that controls the suspension of the device......"

The staff introduced Julius and Agaté to the buttons of the joystick in detail, and quickly stepped aside.

"What's wrong?"

Nolan looked a little confused when he saw the eyes of the two, "If you don't remember it, let them repeat it again, be bold and don't be shy." ”

"No, that's not the problem." Julius scratched his head, how could the memory of a seventh-order knight be so poor?

"It's just, just know what these buttons are?"

"Otherwise, what else do you want to know?" Nolan wondered.

"That's it...... Let's talk about some points and precautions when flying...... You know, doesn't every recruit have to be taught by a veteran when he first joins the army? ”

"Veteran." Nolan turned to Yuna and whispered, "Do you have any tips to share?" ”

"I—I don't know what to say." Veteran Yuna pondered, "Hmm...... Fly by feeling? ”

"I see."

Noren smiled at Julius, "Just fly by feeling." ”

Julius: "......"

Agaté: "......"

Originally, there was confidence in Nolen's flying device, but now ...... Why did you suddenly feel that this thing had become a little unreliable?

But Nolan is also very helpless, what points and precautions do you really want to list, and how will you summarize it in a while?

Moreover, Yuna's first test flight of the Valkyrie backpack went smoothly and did not need the help of others, so he was not fully prepared for the "novice teaching".

This is the attack button, this is the dodge button, have you learned it?

Learned! OVO

So, let's take on the final boss now! :)

New: ???

Julius and Agaté were in this mood at this time, but they looked at Nolan with a helpless face and Yuna with an innocent face......

It was clear that it was unrealistic to expect the two of them to help.

"Up?" Agaté tightens the lever.

"Let's get on it!" Julius gritted his teeth, and his tone turned out to be a little tragic.

"Good!"

The two of them pressed the "levitation ascent" button at the same time, and the next moment, the cyan circle quickly unfolded under their boots.

"Hum—"

The circle activated, and the two of them rose into the air under the effect of the levitation technique.

Because the "accelerate" button was not pressed, they did not levitate fast.

In addition, they were also seventh-order knights, and their control over their bodies was extremely perfect, so they quickly stabilized their center of gravity, and finally straightened up smoothly in the air.

"Is this what flying feels like?"

Julius brushed the soft touch of marshmallow beneath his feet, a strange, unfocused sensation that did take some time to get acquainted.

How hard it is, though...... That's it.

"Flying? And that's just the beginning. ”

Seeing that they had all successfully completed the levitation, Nolan nodded in satisfaction and gave a command.

"Now it's the main thing, please control the joystick to fly around the training ground in a circle, and accelerate appropriately when you become proficient, while you explore other flying techniques on your own-

"You have a total of five minutes of free time to perform."

"Huh, take less time?" Julius's facial muscles began to stiffen.

Five minutes to master the basic skills of flying and start the free performance......

Brother, what kind of crash course is this!?

Seeing Nolan's "I think it's OK" expression, he seriously suspected that the General Staff had been killed by a genius girl, so that even common sense became distorted and he couldn't work with ordinary people.

Veteran Yuna, you're hurting a lot!
