As soon as Charlotte entered the city, she saw the army escorting Prince Philip south.
This is the first time Charlotte has seen the professional regular army of the kingdom since she came to this world, all wearing standard armor, and all being extraordinary.
Although most of them have not yet entered the advanced level, their equipment is extremely sophisticated, and the proportion of those who have advanced to the advanced level is very high.
Charlotte compared her own armored knights with them, and soon discovered that her own team was more than a little behind in terms of extraordinary strength and equipment.
They are also all covered in armor, but the armor of their own knights is chain mail and scale armor made of fine iron, while the armor of the Kingdom's regular army is brighter and flashier, it is plate armor made of fine steel, with magic crystals inlaid on the chest.
and mithril.
Regarding the knowledge of plate armor, chain armor, and scale armor, Charlotte, who has been born in two generations, still knows a little bit about it, and she also knows the differences between them.
Chain mail is generally made of iron wires or iron rings interlocked to form a clothing shape, with each ring interlocking with four other rings, shaped like a net lock; scale armor is composed of layers of armor plates buckled together, shaped like fish scales;
Plate armor is quite different. It is made of a large piece of plate metal that has been shaped. It is a truly top-level armor, and the craftsmanship is more difficult.
Under the same weight, the protective power of plate armor and the flexibility it brings to soldiers are much higher than other armors. Even in Blue Star, it cannot be said to be a thing of the same era. Plate armor only gradually became popular after the 14th century.
, but chain mail and scale armor existed before BC.
Not to mention those advanced officers, the shiny plate armor on their bodies is even more engraved with exquisite and complicated magic patterns. It is impressively made of fine gold enchanted armor melted with a large amount of mithril, and its protective power is comparable to the body of the Silver Moon Knight.
If the two sides really charge, I'm afraid their side will be completely destroyed in a matter of minutes...
All in all, it is very eye-catching.
"Sebas, can you defeat these regular troops by yourself?"
Charlotte glanced at the accompanying flame elf and asked curiously.
Sebastian pondered for a moment and said:
"As long as you don't meet them on the battlefield, of course you can beat them."
"Oh? Can't you beat me on the battlefield?"
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
Sebastian said in a deep voice:
"On the battlefield, they formed battle formations and forbidden magic formations, and had the blessing of the mage. They were like iron plates. They were often led by extraordinary people of the second level of Silver Moon. Unless they reached the blazing sun, the lunatic would fight with them.
They go head-to-head."
"Forbidden magic circle?"
Charlotte was a little curious.
"Yes, Master, have you seen those magic crystals on the top of their armor? That is a subset of the Forbidden Magic Array. A regular army like this has at least 500 people in each army. They are a walking force on the battlefield.
The magic array can limit the enemy's extraordinary power within a certain range, and directly suppress the extraordinary power of Silver Moon's second-level outward emission and resonance."
Sebastian said.
As he spoke, he let out a long sigh:
"The professional regular armies of various kingdoms are the few who can defeat higher-level extraordinary beings on the battlefield. They are also the nightmare of middle- and low-level extraordinary beings..."
After listening to Sebastian's words, Charlotte was thoughtful.
It has been a year since she traveled to this world, and her understanding of Miria's extraordinary system is no longer a beginner.
In the world of Miria, the four extraordinary levels, Stars, Silver Moon, Blazing Sun, and Legend, correspond to the power of low-level, middle-level, high-level and holy realm respectively.
Not to mention the legendary sanctuary that has begun to control the power of laws, among the other three levels, the low level is where individual power breaks through the limits of mortals, the middle level is where power can be released and resonated, and the high level is where mental power changes qualitatively and can directly interfere with reality...
…
If there is a forbidden magic circle that can ban the ability to radiate power and resonate with magic, then the extraordinary beings of the second level of Silver Moon may not necessarily be able to get a good deal in front of these iron cans.
"Of course, if they encounter the blazing sun, they should be the ones running away. On the battlefield, the blazing sun is the real natural disaster, and everyone under the blazing sun is just an ant."
Sebastian said again.
Blazing sun...
Charlotte was thoughtful.
Indeed, Blazing Sun is the real trump card of many big forces.
She has seen the fighting power of the Grand Knight of the Trial, which is a terrifying force that can easily destroy a town with a single movement, and is far more terrifying than the second level of Silver Moon.
However, Blazing Suns are quite rare.
After leaving the Principality of Boulder, Charlotte had not met a single Blazing Sun along the way.
"Of course, because the blazing sun is so destructive, the countries of Miria prohibit blazing sun from actively participating in the frontal battlefields of wars between domestic lords. Only when two kingdoms are at war, blazing sun will be used as a strategic level
Take action with force."
"As for the legend... I'm afraid it can only appear during the war to destroy the country."
Sebastian continued to popularize science.
Charlotte nodded in understanding.
From this point of view, even if there is friction between her and other lords in the kingdom after she returns to the territory in the future, and a war breaks out, the most people she will encounter on the battlefield will be the second level Silver Moon.
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 still be able to deal with them with the power of the True Ancestor's Liberation.
There are many restrictions on the power of high-level and above in the conflict in Miria, which is determined by the game rules of Miria's extraordinary system.
Without rules, Miria would have been beaten to pieces by a high-level transcendent.
The result of this is that after the number of middle and low-level extraordinary beings reaches a certain scale, they will become a huge force that cannot be ignored.
Unless you have the strength to ignore the rules, and unless you have the confidence to compete with the civilized world of Miria, you still have to play according to the rules of the civilized world.
This also made Charlotte couldn't help but think of the gods' rule over Miria.
In Miria, the power of the gods is more powerful, but they will not come to the world easily.
In addition to being too powerful and difficult to descend from the gods, there may also be a reason why Miria is protected from being destroyed by the power of the gods.
"When I return to the Castel Territory, I will also raise an army like this."
Looking at the well-equipped regular army of the Kingdom, Charlotte said with a little envy.
"Then we have to find a way to earn more Quintana. Did you know? The price of these regular army's extraordinary armors on the black market is five figures, and the price of those officers' plate armor is even more outrageous, and because it is enchanted equipment
, it is also quite 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:……
Fuck, I suddenly feel like I’m not that rich anymore!
…
Castel's motorcade was arranged by Duke Moonguard's envoy to one of the most luxurious hotels in Anluo City, while Charlotte was invited to rest at the Duke's Mansion.
It was already evening after the motorcade was settled, and Charlotte naturally attended the dinner at the Duke's Palace. The only people traveling with her were Sebas, Nice, Lottie, who was the accompanying priest, and Shirley, the personal maid.
The Moon Protectorate Principality can be considered to be located in the hinterland of the Crescent Kingdom, and is much richer than Boulder. This 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 lanterns on the dome are brilliant, and the murals and decorations on the walls are exquisite.
Charlotte subconsciously compared it with her own manor.
Although the luxury of his own manor is not much worse than that of the Yuehu Principality's Duke's Mansion, it is not comparable in terms of scale.
Not to mention the knights of the Guards who had just entered the Duke's Palace, Charlotte had never seen any lower than the stars, and the same standard plate armor was obviously the same style as the regular army of the kingdom.
Black Cat Ness said that the Principality of Bold and the Principality of Violet were two remote areas in the kingdom, one in the south and the other in the north. Let alone the Principality of Violet, she could vaguely feel the poverty of the Principality of Bold.
Comparing everything with the Yuehu Principality, whether it is the density of towns in the Principality, the cityscape and infrastructure of the capital, the luxury of the Duke's Palace and the number of extraordinary people... you can see the difference between Bold.
What's more, the moment she entered the banquet, a faint feeling and warning came from the Blood Scripture in Charlotte's consciousness...
There is a blazing sun at the venue!
Charlotte became vigilant almost immediately and put away her thoughts of using vampire magic of the domination system to divert the attention of the nobles.
Like every banquet in the past half month, Charlotte became the center of attention as soon as she entered the venue.
Beautiful people are like this, not to mention that Charlotte's half-elf beauty is almost to the point of foul play.
The Castel family was already known for their beauty, but as she became a vampire and was influenced by the Blood Scripture, Charlotte's temperament became more noble and naturally eye-catching.
Of course, the aristocratic dress that Sebastian chose for his master also played a role, embodying the girl's elegance and pure beauty to the fullest.
And when everyone knew Charlotte's identity, more nobles gathered and became more enthusiastic.
A young, rich, unmarried and beautiful countess, I don’t know how many buffs she has stacked up.
Even though Charlotte had made a vow, many nobles still felt yearning for her.
After all, the scandal about the Holy Royal Court's church in Boulder has long been spread throughout the kingdom. Who knows if the current Countess of Castel is still willing to turn to the church?
If you are really lucky, not only will you get a famous beauty, but you will also be able to kidnap half of the Duchy of Boulder!
"My beautiful lord, may I ask you to dance?"
"Lord Castel, you are as charming as the moonlight tonight. Can I invite you to dance with me?"
Enthusiastic nobles rushed to send invitations to Charlotte.
The banquets at the Duke's Palace were far beyond the banquets held by the earls, viscounts and even barons that Charlotte had attended along the way. Any brick thrown casually could hit any of the earl's legitimate sons or even heirs.
The nobles surrounding Charlotte rushed to announce their names and send out invitations. There were almost no people below the title of earl, and there were even two marquises who did not even have the Duchy of Boulder.
Charlotte, who was surrounded by stars like a moon, had her eyes twitching slightly and felt helpless.
Fortunately, she has gained a lot of experience along the way.
She showed an apologetic expression, her pity-inducing and beautiful face showed visible fatigue, her delicate and soft voice was heart-wrenching, and her gesture of holding up the hem of her skirt was elegant and charming:
"Thank you very much for your love, but... I'm really sorry..."
"I've been on the road for too 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 lovely, and her eyes as blue as the sky are innocent and flawless, making people feel a sense of love and pity.
Looking at her big watery eyes and somewhat pale face, the nobles' words of invitation almost immediately got stuck in their throats, and they could no longer bear to say them out.
Charlotte finally got rid of the siege.
And just when Charlotte was relieved, noises came from the entrance of the hall.
Charlotte's heart moved, and she looked toward the entrance and saw that the lord of the Moon Guardian Principality, the Moon Guardian Duke John de Anlo, had arrived, followed by two nobles in rich clothes, a man and a woman.
Duke Yuehu is a middle-aged nobleman who looks a little thin. He is also a third-level Blazing Sun professional and a great mage.
As far as Charlotte knows, he is one of the four legion commanders of the Crescent Kingdom, and also holds the title of advisor to the kingdom's cabinet.
By the way, according to the records in the study room of Castel Manor, Duke Yuehu and Castel also had a small friendship.
This involves a piece of history.
In the Second Star-Moon War, the army of the Principality of Bold followed the Second Legion led by Duke Moonguard. At that time, Duke Bold was not the military commander of the kingdom, but the deputy of Duke Moonguard, Castor.
The count and his wife were also traveling with him.
Seeing Charlotte, Duke Yuehu immediately showed a warm smile:
"Is this His Excellency the Earl of Castel? Haha, I haven't seen you for many years, and you look so... well, beautiful now."
Charlotte:……
You just hesitated before changing your mind 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, held up the corners of her skirt and gracefully saluted Duke Yuehu, looked up at him and smiled:
"Charlotte of Castells, I have met Lord Guardian Duke of the Moon."
After saluting, Charlotte couldn't help but look at the two nobles next to 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 is smiling and bright.
On the right is a woman who looks to be in her twenties or thirties, also smiling.
She was wearing a burgundy dress, and her eyebrows looked a bit like Lenno's. She had golden-brown curly hair and a pair of blue-gray eyes.
However, when Charlotte saw the blue-grey eyes of the female noble, her heart suddenly jumped.
He was obviously smiling, but through the other person's eyes, Charlotte could not see any emotion, and even felt an inexplicable hollow feeling.
That kind of emptiness gave her an extremely strong sense of déjà vu...
"Let me introduce, this is His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and his beloved wife, Ms. Eleanor."
Noticing Charlotte's gaze, Duke Yuehu took the initiative to introduce.
