As soon as Charlotte entered the city, she saw the army escorting Prince Philip south.
This was the first time Charlotte saw the professional regular army of the kingdom since she came to this world. They were all wearing standard armor and were all extraordinary people.
Although the vast majority of them have not yet entered the rank, their equipment is extremely sophisticated, and the proportion of those who have entered the rank is very high.
Charlotte compared her own armored knights with them and soon discovered that her own team was far inferior in both extraordinary strength and equipment.
They were also fully armored, but the armor of their knights was chain mail and scale mail made of fine iron, while the armor of the kingdom's regular army was brighter and shinier, made of plate armor made of fine steel, with magic crystals and mithril inlaid on the chest.
Having lived two lives, Charlotte knew a little about plate armor, chain mail, and scale armor, and was aware of the differences between them.
Chain mail is usually made of iron wire or iron rings that are put together to look like a garment, with each ring interlocked with the other four, shaped like a net lock; scale armor is composed of layers of interlocking armor plates, shaped like fish scales; and plate armor is very different. It is made of large pieces of shaped metal plates. It is a truly top-level protective gear and is more difficult to craft.
With the same weight, the protection of plate armor and the flexibility it brings to soldiers are much higher than other armors. Even on Blue Star, it cannot be said to be a thing of one era. Plate armor only gradually became popular after the 14th century, but chain mail and scale armor existed before Christ.
Not to mention those officers who have been promoted. The shiny plate armor on their bodies is engraved with exquisite and intricate magic patterns. It is actually a refined gold armor enchanted with a large amount of mithril. The protective power is comparable to the body of the Silver Moon Knight.
If the two sides really charge, I'm afraid our side will be completely destroyed in a matter of minutes...
All in all, it's very eye-catching.
"Sebastian, can you defeat these regular troops alone?"
Charlotte glanced at the accompanying Fire Elf and asked curiously.
Sebastian looked at the Kingdom's regular troops moving around the streets, thought for a moment, and said:
"As long as we don't meet them on the battlefield, of course we can defeat them."
"Oh? Can't you win on the battlefield?"
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
Sebastian said in a deep voice:
"On the battlefield, they form battle formations and forbidden magic formations, and with the blessings of the mages, they are as strong as iron. There are often Silver Moon Level 2 Transcendents leading the team. Unless you reach Blazing Sun, only a madman will fight them head-on."
"Forbidden magic circle?"
Charlotte was curious.
"Yes, Master. Did you see those magic crystals on the top of their armor? That is a subset of the forbidden magic circle. Regular armies like this, each with at least 500 soldiers, are a walking magic circle on the battlefield, able to limit the enemy's extraordinary power within a certain range and directly suppress the extraordinary power of Silver Moon's second-level external release and resonance."
Sebastian said.
As he said this, he sighed:
"The professional regular armies of each kingdom are one of the few that can defeat higher-level transcendents on the battlefield. They are also the nightmare of mid- and low-level transcendents..."
After listening to Sebastian's words, Charlotte was thoughtful.
It has been a year since she traveled to this world, and she is no longer unfamiliar with Miriah's supernatural system.
In the world of Miriam, there are four extraordinary ranks: Starry, Silver Moon, Blazing Sun, and Legend, which correspond to low-level, mid-level, high-level, and holy realm powers respectively.
Not to mention the legendary sanctuary that has begun to control the power of laws, in the other three levels, the low level is the individual power that breaks through the limits of mortals, the middle level is the ability to release power and resonate, and the high level is the qualitative change of mental power, which can directly interfere with reality...
If there is a forbidden magic circle that can eliminate the ability to release power and resonate with magic, then the second-level Silver Moon transcendents may not be able to fare well in front of these iron cans.
"Of course, if they encounter the Blazing Sun, they should be the ones to run. On the battlefield, the Blazing Sun is the real natural disaster, and under the Blazing Sun, we are all ants."
Sebastian said again.
Blazing Sun
Charlotte thought.
Indeed, Chiyang is the real trump card of many major forces.
She had witnessed the combat power of the Grand Knight of the Inquisition, a terrifying force that could easily destroy a town with a wave of his hand. It was much more frightening than the Silver Moon Level 2.
However, Blazing Suns are quite rare.
After leaving the Principality of Boulder, Charlotte did not meet any Chiyang along the way.
"Of course, because Chi Yang is too destructive, the countries of Miria prohibit Chi Yang from actively participating in the frontal battlefields of wars between domestic lords. Only when two kingdoms are at war will Chi Yang take action as a strategic force."
"As for the legend... I'm afraid it can only appear in the war of annihilation."
Sebastian continued to explain.
Charlotte nodded in understanding.
From this perspective, even if she returns to her territory in the future and friction arises with other lords in the kingdom and a war breaks out, the most she will encounter on the battlefield is the Silver Moon Level 2.
Even if other lords have Blazing Sun professionals, they will not participate in the battle head-on. As long as they do not participate in the battle head-on, she should be able to deal with it with the power released by the True Ancestor.
Powers above the higher level are subject to many restrictions in Miria’s disputes, which are determined by the rules of the game of Miria’s supernatural system.
Without rules, Miria would have been destroyed by high-level transcendents long ago.
The result of this is that when the number of low- and middle-level transcendents reaches a certain scale, they will become 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 civilized world of Miriam, you still have to play by the rules of the civilized world.
This also made Charlotte think of the gods' rule over Miriam.
In Miriam, the power of the gods is even stronger, but they will not easily come to the world.
In addition to the fact that it is difficult for gods to descend because of its own power, it is probably also for the purpose of protecting Miriam from being destroyed by the power of gods.
"When I return to Castel Territory, I will also raise an army like this."
Looking at the well-trained regular army of the kingdom, Charlotte said with a little envy.
"Then we have to find a way to earn more quintana. Do you know? The prices of these regular army's extraordinary armors are five figures on the black market, and the prices of those officers' plate armors are even more outrageous. Moreover, because they are enchanted equipment, they are also very expensive to maintain. To build these plate armors, the kingdom has a fixed source of extraordinary materials, and the cost may be relatively low, but we can only buy them."
Sebastian said.
Charlotte: …
Shit, I suddenly feel like I’m not that rich anymore!
…
Castel's convoy was arranged by the envoy of Duke Yuehu to stay in one of the most luxurious hotels in Anluo City, and Charlotte was invited to rest in the Duke's Mansion.
It was already evening when the convoy was settled, and Charlotte naturally attended the dinner at the Duke's Mansion. The only people accompanying her were Sebastian, Nice, Lottie who was the accompanying priest, and Shirley who was the personal maid.
The Moon Guardian Principality is located in the heart of the Crescent Kingdom and is much richer than Bolder, as can be seen from the more luxurious decoration of the Duke's Palace.
The banquet hall can accommodate at least a thousand people. The crystal chandeliers on the dome are shining brightly, and the murals and decorations on the walls are exquisite.
Charlotte subconsciously compared it with her own manor.
Although his own manor was not much less luxurious than the Duke's Palace in Yuehu Principality, they were completely incomparable in scale.
Not to mention the guards knights who had just entered the Duke's Palace. Charlotte had never seen any who were taller than Fanxing, and they were all wearing the same standard plate armor, which was obviously the same style as the kingdom's regular army.
Black Cat Nice said that the Principality of Bolder and the Principality of Violet were two remote and poor areas in the south and north of the kingdom. Not to mention the Principality of Violet for now, she vaguely felt the poverty of the Principality of Bolder.
Everything is afraid of comparison. Compared with the Yuehu Principality, 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 extraordinary people... you can see the gap between Bold and the others.
What's more, the moment she entered the banquet, the Holy Book of Blood in Charlotte's consciousness sent a faint feeling and warning...
There is a blazing sun at the venue!
Charlotte became alert almost immediately and gave up the idea of using the vampire magic of the Domination system to divert the attention of the nobles.
Like every banquet in the past half month, Charlotte became the focus as soon as she entered.
Beautiful people are like this, not to mention Charlotte's beauty, which is half-elf, is almost to the point of being a foul.
The Castel family is already famous for its beauty, and as a vampire, Charlotte, who was influenced by the Holy Book of Blood, became more noble and naturally eye-catching.
Of course, the aristocratic dress that Sebastian chose for his master also played a role, perfectly displaying the girl's elegance and pure beauty.
And when everyone knew Charlotte's identity, more nobles gathered and became more enthusiastic.
A young, wealthy, unmarried, beautiful countess, I don’t know how many buffs she has stacked up.
Even though Charlotte had made a vow, many nobles still had fantasies and yearnings about her.
After all, the mess that the Holy Court had done in the Church of Bolder had long been spread throughout the kingdom. Who knew whether the current Countess Castel was still willing to side with the church
If you are really lucky, not only can you gain a famous beauty, but you can also abduct half of the Duchy of Bolder!
"My beautiful lord, may I ask you to dance with me?"
"Lord Castel, you are as charming as the moonlight tonight. May I invite you to dance with me?"
Enthusiastic nobles vied with each other to extend invitations to Charlotte.
The scale of the banquet at the Duke's Mansion was far superior to the banquets held by earls, viscounts, or even barons that Charlotte had attended along the way. A brick thrown casually might hit the legitimate son or even the heir of an earl's family.
The nobles surrounding Charlotte vied with each other in naming their names and extending invitations. There were almost no nobles below the rank of earl, and there were even two marquises who did not even own the Duchy of Boulder.
Charlotte, who was surrounded by celebrities, twitched her eyes and felt helpless.
Fortunately, she has gained a lot of experience along the way.
She showed an apologetic expression, and visible fatigue was revealed on her beautiful face. Her soft and tender voice was touching, and the way she held up the hem of her skirt was elegant and charming:
“Thank you very much for your kindness, but... I am really sorry... ”
"I've been walking for so long. I'm really tired today. I'm afraid I don't have the energy to dance with you."
The girl's voice is delicate and pleasant, and her eyes, as blue as the sky, are pure and flawless, making people unable to help but feel love for her.
Looking at her big watery eyes and slightly pale face, the nobles' words of invitation almost immediately got stuck in their throats and they no longer had the heart to say them out loud.
Charlotte finally got rid of the blockade.
Just as Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, a noise came from the entrance of the hall.
Charlotte's heart moved, and she looked towards the entrance, and saw that it was the Lord of the Moon Guardian Principality, the Moon Guardian Duke John de Anro, who had arrived, accompanied by two nobles, a man and a woman, in gorgeous clothes.
Duke Yuehu is a middle-aged noble who looks a little thin. He is also a third-level Blazing Sun professional and a great wizard.
As far as Charlotte knew, he was one of the four legion commanders of the Crescent Kingdom and also held the title of advisor to the kingdom's cabinet.
By the way, according to the records in the study of Castel Manor, Duke Yuehu and Castel also had a small friendship.
This involves a piece of history.
In the Second Moon-Star War, the army of the Principality of Bold fought under the Second Legion led by the Duke of Moon Guard. At that time, the Duke of Bold was not the military commander of the kingdom, but the deputy of the Duke of Moon Guard. The Count and Countess of Castel were also traveling with them.
When he saw Charlotte, Duke Yuehu immediately smiled warmly:
"You are Lord Castel, right? Haha, it's been many years since we last met. You look so... well, more beautiful now."
Charlotte: …
You hesitated for a moment before changing your words when you looked at my height, right
Did you hesitate for a moment before speaking?!
What's wrong with being short
Have you eaten your rice
She took a deep breath, picked up the hem of her skirt and saluted elegantly to Duke Yuehu, then looked up at him and smiled:
"Charlotte of Castel greets His Excellency the Duke of Moon Guardian."
After the salute, Charlotte couldn't help but look at the two nobles beside Duke Yuehu.
On the left is a handsome black-haired man with a gorgeous robe inlaid with a crescent moon pattern representing the royal family. He has a smile on his face and his eyes are bright.
On the right is a woman who appears to be in her twenties or thirties, also smiling.
She was wearing a burgundy dress, and her features resembled those of Laino, with curly golden-brown hair and a pair of blue-gray eyes.
However, when Charlotte saw the blue-gray eyes of the female noble, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Although he was smiling, Charlotte could not see any emotion in his eyes, and even felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness.
That kind of emptiness gave her a very strong sense of déjà vu...
"Let me introduce you. This is His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and his beloved wife, Lady Eleanor."
Noticing Charlotte's gaze, Duke Yuehu took the initiative to introduce.
