On the west side of the Dark Mountains, an undisclosed military training facility is located in the forest.
This is a large-scale facility, with gray cement walls and large buildings no taller than two floors are its biggest features. This color scheme and construction method make the entire facility almost hidden in the background color of the mountain rocks In the middle of the building surrounded by walls and sentry towers, there are plain barracks and warehouses, as well as an unusually large open space, where soldiers undergoing training are gathering.
The chilly winter wind was blowing the imperial flag not far away. Soldiers in winter clothes lined up neatly in the open space. In the front row of the line, Griffin Knight Jin Na was waiting nervously for the officer 's arrival
This female knight from the family of Griffin Knights has received nearly a hundred days of training in this facility called "Windcaller Camp", as have the soldiers who came here with her.
The soldiers were not informed of their specific tasks and the purpose of establishing this camp, and their daily training content was basically divided into two categories: one was theoretical knowledge about magic machines and quick calculations of instruments, and the other was about the Perform operation drills over and over again on some kind of simulated equipment.
But even if the superior kept it secret, after receiving a certain period of training, Jin Na and her comrades probably guessed the purpose of this facility—
Seventy percent of the soldiers selected here are from Griffon Knights; they are constantly exposed to some nouns during the training process, and those nouns seem to be related to flying; a large area of open land is very suitable for landing something...
This world is not without flying arms. For these soldiers who have more or less dealt with the sky, flying is not an unfamiliar concept.
This is used to cultivate a new type of flying unit, and this unit should be related to magic technology.
Even though they have been locked in this closed facility, they have heard the news that the Magic Technology Research Institute has successfully produced a new type of aircraft, but they have not seen the real thing.
Jin Na took a light breath, the cold air kept her mind clear. Last night, she heard weird buzzing sounds coming from behind those huge warehouses, and then she thought of the magicians who came to the facility suddenly two days ago, and thought of the instructor's solemn attitude when the assembly time was announced yesterday , the female knight vaguely realized that something should happen today.
A few minutes later, the instructor finally appeared—the silver elf Sonia appeared in Jinna's sight, walking unhurriedly towards the assembled soldiers.
This high-level messenger is the instructor of Jin Na and other trainees.
At the beginning, Jin Na also wondered why a foreigner was used as the instructor of the imperial soldiers, but she did not question the order of her superiors, and she also fought side by side with this high-level messenger on the battlefield of the Holy Spirit Plain before, She understood the superb flying skills and reliable personality of this high-level messenger. During the subsequent training process, Sonia did show her excellent qualities as an instructor. To this day, this elf from the Silver Empire has won gained the trust of the soldiers.
When Sonia came in front of Jin Na and the others, all the soldiers saluted neatly and forcefully.
Sonia nodded and glanced at these soldiers.
"Today we will enter the final stage of this training camp," the high-ranking courier said loudly, "You have been training here for ninety-eight days. Frankly speaking, the training time is not long in my opinion, but I believe that during these ninety-eight days of training, you should have already guessed the purpose of your gathering here.
"Just as you think—you're here to fly.
"Soldiers, most of you should be familiar with flying, but you should have also guessed that the skills you are learning here are not intended to be used to control griffins.
"Raise your head and say hello to your partners who will fight side by side in the future."
A strange buzzing sound suddenly came from the sky and quickly approached.
Jinna raised her head subconsciously, and for the first time in the clear winter sky, she saw the thing—
It was a flying machine made of steel, leather, and crystal. It had a strange inverted cone-shaped main body, and wings that stretched out to both sides, like dragon wings.
Three identical aircraft were crossing the forest sea in the dark mountains, crossing the clear sky, and flying towards the square.
They looked heavy and huge, but they were as nimble and agile as birds. They slowed down gently over the square, as stable and skilled as the best griffins.
After entering the hovering state, the half-moon-shaped main wings on both sides of the three aircraft were folded and folded to form a stable support structure, and the rune rings at the bottom of the vertebral body slightly weakened the light, supporting the entire aircraft to lower its height steadily. It landed steadily on the open space not far in front of the soldiers.
At this moment, Jin Na, who had already accumulated a lot of magical knowledge, realized why a silver elf was her instructor.
Not only because this silver elf is reliable enough, and his flying skills are exquisite enough.
It is also because the Silver Elves possess the most advanced anti-gravity technology in the world.
——From the very first moment he saw the flying machine, the inquisitive Griffon Knight had already judged that it should be flying with anti-gravity magic.
Jin Na exhaled lightly.
It seems that it is really useful to study a lot of magic knowledge by myself on weekdays, and to study various mechanical devices when I have nothing to do.
The trainees got a little excited, although they still kept quiet under the restraint of discipline, Jinna could clearly hear the breathing of the comrades-in-arms became short of breath, and some of them even stretched their necks forward, as if wanting to To see more clearly.
"These are three training aircraft, and another seventeen aircraft are being assembled and adjusted in the hangar." Sonia looked at the soldiers who showed expectations, surprise, and curiosity, and nodded with satisfaction, "You have roughly learned You must have the knowledge of how to control them, but the actual flight still requires a certain amount of training, and you will be accompanied by these magical machines throughout the next winter—I believe you will control these machines as well as a griffin.”
Saying that, Sonia paused, her expression more serious and solemn than before.
Jin Na and her comrades subconsciously stood up straight, and they heard their instructor solemnly announce:
"Then, according to the documents of the Supreme Government Office, the orders of the military department, and the decrees of His Majesty Gawain Cecil, the first phase of the Cecil Empire's dragoon troops will be established today!
"The commander of the dragoon cavalry is temporarily held by Jinna Prince from Tanzania, and will become regular after the training period is over..."
…
After completing the initial introduction and guidance, leading the soldiers to know what the "Dragoon-i air fighter" is, and letting the soldiers have a basic understanding of these advanced big guys, Sonia temporarily disbanded the team.
Standing by the open space, the high-ranking courier watched the excited soldiers gather around the aircraft and refused to leave for a long time, and he couldn't help feeling a little emotional on his face.
"Combining the anti-gravity technology of the elves with the runes of the humans...it actually succeeded..." she muttered softly, "This way is indeed the right one..."
Footsteps came from behind, and a voice sounded behind Sonia: "It's because he is very good at finding the right way in adversity, so I trust him so much."
Sonia turned her head and saw Solderin standing behind her, and a small group of Iron Rangers patrolling in the distance.
Solderling and his elite steel rangers are also stationed here, but they are not trained soldiers, but are responsible for protecting the safety of this facility.
"Your judgment this time is correct," Sonia narrowed her eyes and nodded slightly, "but it's limited to your judgment this time."
"Mother, you have also seen that it really makes sense for me to stay here," Soldering spread his hands with a smile, "and you also stayed?"
"I am carrying out Her Majesty's order. She ordered me to serve Gawain Cecil temporarily." Sonia glanced at Soldering. "As for you, when you decided not to return home for seven hundred years Not because of allegiance to Gawain Cecil?"
A gust of north wind blew up and rolled up the long golden hair of the two elves. Soldering immediately remembered one of the reasons why he was stranded in the north, and couldn't help pressing the wig with some embarrassment. An indifferent and stable high-level messenger, but when he was here, she was more of a mother who liked to talk about her son, and whenever she talked about the things she didn't go home these years, the topic was very... bald.
Seeing the embarrassment on Solderin's face, Sonia couldn't help but sighed, and turned her gaze back to the three training planes and the soldiers who were surrounding the training planes and refused to leave.
The high-ranking messenger thought for a while and asked, "What do you think of that girl named Jin Na?"
Solderling: "... huh?"
"Jinna, the one with the ponytail," Sonia Nunu said, "I have carried out several missions with her in the Holy Spirit Plain, she is a steady and motivated girl, and she will officially become the commander of the dragoons in the future Officer, I inquired, she is unmarried..."
"Mother!" Soldering even forgot his hair problem at this moment, and cried in a low voice, dumbfounded, "Isn't it appropriate for you to say this here..."
"What's inappropriate, your father and I were born on the day Her Majesty the Queen was born..."
Solderling: "…"
Seeing that Solderin's expression became more and more awkward and tangled, Sonia shook her head helplessly, and then her expression gradually became serious, and her eyes shifted from the female knight from Tanzania to the three "Dragon Cavalry" "On the aircraft.
"The magical machine that relies on the anti-gravity ring to lift into the sky... this thing, it will be somewhat helpful to the difficulties faced by the Temple of the Stars."
"Master Banner said so," Soldering nodded, "He believes that although the 'anti-gravity ring' technology at this stage cannot be used to repair the engine group of the Temple of the Stars, they can be used to relieve the pressure of the Temple of the Stars. The load of the engine group is still feasible. Moreover, the analysis process of the rune logic to the elf runes also gave him some inspiration. He wants to have a good time with Verania, Master Silver Star, when exchanging information with the Temple of Stars next time. Talking about this aspect may provide some inspiration for the maintainers of the Temple of Stars."
"This technical exchange was not favored by those stubborn parliamentarians at the beginning. The queen and the first and second ministers withstood a lot of pressure for this, but as more and more technical materials have recently been published in Cecil and Silver Flowing between empires, those restless mouths have finally shut up a little bit," Sonia said in a low voice, "No matter what, no matter how pedantic a congressman is, they will not refuse real benefits, and benefits are the best medicine to shut them up .”
Solderin was silent for a moment, and said leisurely: "The interests... also include the trade activities with the Typhon Empire?"
"...The queen has her own considerations. This is in the interests of the country, not personal feelings." Sonia shook her head. "The Silver Empire is too far away from Cecil after all."
"I know, I'm not that naive yet," Soldering said lightly, "It's in the interests of the Silver Empire that I don't want us to get too close to the Typhons..."
Sonia didn't speak, but just quietly looked in the direction of the playground.
She is a high-ranking messenger sent by the Silver Empire to the north of the mainland.
The high-level messenger is also the eyes of the Silver Queen.
"The greatest courage of a mortal is to challenge the sky and the ocean..." Sonia said as if she was talking to herself, "Now, let us hope that the feat of challenging the sky by the Cecilians can help them break the blockade of that wasteland Bar…
"Only by breaking this blockade, can there be further cooperation between Cecil and the Silver Empire, otherwise, everything can only be empty talk."
