On the west side of the Dark Mountains, an undisclosed military training facility is located in the mountains and forests.
This is a large-scale facility. The cement walls with gray as the main color and the large buildings with a maximum height of two floors are its biggest features. This color scheme and construction method make the entire facility almost Hidden in the background of the mountain rocks, and within the building complex surrounded by walls and guard towers, there are simple military camps and warehouses, as well as unusual large open spaces, where soldiers undergoing training are Rally.
The cold winter wind was blowing the imperial flag not far away. Soldiers in winter clothes formed a neat queue in the open space. In the front row of the queue, the griffon knight Jinna was looking at her. Waiting nervously for the arrival of the commander.
This female knight, who comes from a family of gryphon knights, has received nearly a hundred days of training in this facility called the "Windcaller Camp", and those who came here with her This is true for soldiers.
The soldiers were not informed of their specific tasks and the purpose of establishing this camp. Their daily training content was basically divided into two categories: one was the theory of magic machinery and instrument speed calculation. Knowledge, one type is to practice operations over and over again on some kind of simulated equipment.
But even if the superiors kept it secret, after receiving a certain period of training, Jin Na and her comrades roughly guessed the purpose of establishing this facility——
Being selected Seventy percent of the soldiers so far are gryphon knights; they have been exposed to some nouns during the training process, and those nouns seem to be related to flying; the large open areas are very suitable for landing things...
This world is not without flying arms. For these soldiers who have had more or less contact with the sky, flying is not an unfamiliar concept.
This place 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 up in this closed facility, they have heard the news that the Magical Technology Research Institute has successfully manufactured a new type of aircraft, but they have not seen the real thing yet.
Jin Na took a gentle breath, and the cold air kept her mind clear. Last night, she heard a strange buzzing sound coming from behind the huge warehouses. She thought about the magic technicians who suddenly came to the facility two days ago, and the solemn attitude of the instructors when the gathering 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 slowly towards the waiting soldiers.
This high-level messenger is the instructor of Jin Na and other soldiers in training.
At the beginning, Jin Na was also curious about why aliens were used as instructors for imperial soldiers, but she did not question her superiors' orders, and she had also fought with this man on the previous battlefield of the Holy Spirit Plains. Fighting side by side with a high-level messenger, she understands that this high-level messengerThe messenger's superb flying skills and reliable character, during the subsequent training process, Sonia indeed showed her excellent qualities as an instructor. To this day, this elf from the Silver Empire has won the trust of the soldiers.
When Sonia came to Jinna and others, all the soldiers performed a military salute neatly and vigorously.
Sonia nodded and glanced at these soldiers.
“Today we will enter the final stage of this training camp,” the senior messenger said loudly. “You have been training here for ninety-eight days. Frankly speaking, in my opinion, this The training time is not long, but I believe that during these ninety-eight days of training, you should have guessed the purpose of your gathering here.
"It's the same as you thought - you are here for it. Come flying.
“Soldiers, most of you should be no stranger to flying, but you should also have guessed that the skills you learn here are not intended to be used to control griffins.< /p>
“Raise your head and say hello to the partners you will fight alongside in the future. ”
A strange buzzing sound suddenly came from the sky and approached quickly.
Jin Na subconsciously raised her head. In the clear winter sky, she saw for the first time Arriving at that thing -
It was a flying machine made of steel, leather, and crystal, with a strange inverted cone-shaped body and wings that stretched out to both sides, like dragon wings.
p>Three identical aircraft are crossing the forest sea of the dark mountains, flying across the clear sky, and flying towards the square.
They look heavy and huge, but they are as nimble and agile as birds. They slowed down slowly over the square, as steadily and skillfully as the best griffins.
After entering the hovering state, the half-moon-shaped main wings on both sides of the three aircraft folded and folded, forming a stable structure. The support structure, with the rune ring at the bottom of its vertebral body, slightly weakened the light, holding the entire aircraft down smoothly, and landed steadily in the open space not far in front of the soldiers.
Here. In an instant, Jin Na, who had acquired a lot of magic knowledge, realized why a silver elf was chosen as her instructor.
It was not just because this silver elf was reliable enough and had superb flying skills. < /p>
It’s because the Silver Elf possesses the most advanced anti-gravity technology in the world.
——When he saw the aircraft for the first time, this diligent and inquiring griffin knight. It was already judged that this thing should fly using anti-gravity magic.
Jin Na breathed out lightly.
She studied a lot of magic knowledge on her own and had nothing to do. It seems that studying various mechanical devices is indeed useful.
The trainee soldiers became slightly excited. Although they remained quiet under the constraints of discipline, Jinna could clearly hear it. I saw that the breathing of my comrades was becoming rapid, and some of them had even askedHe stretched his neck forward, as if he wanted to see more clearly.
"These are three training aircraft, and there are 17 other aircraft being assembled and adjusted in the hangar." Sonia looked at these soldiers who showed expressions of expectation, surprise, and curiosity, and nodded with satisfaction. Nodding, "You have roughly learned how to control them, but actual flying still requires a certain amount of training. Throughout the next winter, you will be accompanied by these magic machines - I believe you will be able to control the gryphon. Control these machines well."
Sonya paused and her expression became more serious and solemn than before.
Jin Na and her comrades stood up straight subconsciously. They heard their instructor solemnly announce:
"Then, according to the documents of the Supreme Government Affairs Department and the Military According to the order of the ministry and the decree of His Majesty Gawain Cecil, the first phase of the Cecil Empire's Dragoon Force was established today.
"The commander of the Dragoon Force is temporarily appointed by Jinna from Tanzania! Prince will serve as a regular until the end of the training cycle..."
...
After completing the initial introduction and guidance, he led the soldiers to understand what "Dragoon- "I-type air fighter", after giving the soldiers a basic understanding of these advanced big guys, Sonia temporarily disbanded the team.
The high-level messenger stood next to the open space and looked at those The excited soldiers gathered around the aircraft for a long time and refused to leave, with expressions of emotion on their faces.
"Combining the elves' anti-gravity technology with human runes... actually succeeded. ..." She murmured softly, "This path is indeed the right one..."
The sound of footsteps came from behind, and a voice sounded from behind Sonia: "It's because he is very good at dealing with difficult situations. Find the right way, that's why I trust him so much. ”
Sonia turned her head and saw Solderin standing behind her, with a small group of Steel Ranger soldiers patrolling in the distance.
Solderin and The elite Steel Rangers he leads are also stationed here, but they are not trained soldiers, but are responsible for protecting the safety of this facility.
"You were right this time," Sonia said. He raised his eyes and nodded slightly, "But it is limited to your judgment this time. "
"Mother, you have also seen that it does make sense for me to stay here," Solderin smiled and spread his hands, "and didn't you stay too? "
"I am carrying out the order of Her Majesty the Queen. She ordered me to temporarily serve Gawain Cecil." Sonia glanced at Solderin. "As for you, you decided to When you didn't go home for a hundred years, wasn't it because of your loyalty to Gawain Cecil? ”
A gust of north wind blew up and rolled up the long golden hair of the two elves. Solderin immediately remembered one of the reasons why he was stranded in the north, and couldn’t help but press his wig with some embarrassment. ——Although Sonia is a calm and steady high-level messenger in the eyes of outsiders, when she is here, she is more of a powerful messenger.A mother who likes to talk about her son, and whenever she talks about her absence from home these years, the topic is quite... bald.
Seeing the embarrassment on Solderin’s face, Sonia couldn’t help but sigh, and her eyes returned to the three training planes and the soldiers who were surrounding the training planes and unwilling to leave. One glance.
The high-level messenger thought for a while and asked: "What do you think of the girl named Jinna?"
Solderin: "...Huh?"
p>
"Jinna, the one with the ponytail," Sonia said, "I have performed several missions with her in the Holy Spirit Plains. She is a steady and motivated girl, and she will officially become a Commander of the dragoons, I asked, she is unmarried..."
"Mother!" Solderin even forgot about his hair problem at this moment, and whispered in a dumbfounded voice, " It's inappropriate for you to say this here..."
"What's inappropriate? Your father and I were on the day Her Majesty the Queen was born..."
Solderlin: "..."
Noting that Solderin's expression was becoming more and more awkward and tangled, Sonia shook her head helplessly. Then her expression became more serious little by little, and her eyes changed from the one from Tanzania to The female knight was transferred to three "Dragoon" aircraft.
"The magic machine that relies on the anti-gravity ring to lift into the air... This thing will be somewhat helpful to the difficulties faced by the Temple of the Stars."
"Ban That's what Master Na said," Solderin nodded. "He believes that although the current 'anti-gravity ring' technology cannot be used to repair the engine group of the Temple of Stars, they can be used to relieve the engine group of the Temple of Stars. The load is still feasible, and the analysis process of elven runes by rune logic also gave him some inspiration. He wants to have a good talk with Master Velania Silver Star next time he exchanges information with the Temple of Stars. This matter may provide some inspiration for the maintenance personnel of the Temple of the Stars."
"This technical exchange was not favored by the stubborn parliamentarians at the beginning. The Queen and the Chief Minister were not optimistic. This has withstood a lot of pressure, but as more and more technical information has been flowing between Cecil and the Silver Empire recently, those restless mouths have finally closed some," Sonia said in a low voice, "In any case, no matter how pedantic a congressman is, he will not refuse real benefits. Benefits are the best medicine to shut them up."
Solderin was silent for a moment, then said leisurely: "Benefits... also Including trade activities with the Typhon Empire, right?"
"...The Queen has her own considerations. This is the interest of the country, not personal feelings." Sonia shook her head, "The relationship between the Silver Empire and Cyprus Syl is too far away after all.”
“I know, I’m not that naive,” Solderin said lightly, “It’s in the interest of the Silver Empire that I don’t want to. We are too close to the Typhons..."
Sonia didn't speak, just looked quietly in the direction of the playground.
She is a high-level messenger sent by the Silver Empire to the north of the continent.
The high-level messenger is also the eyes of the Silver Queen.
"The greatest courage of mortals is to challenge the sky and the ocean..." Sonia said as if talking to herself, "Now, let us hope that the Cecil people's feat of challenging the sky can help Let them break the blockade of that wasteland...
"Only by breaking this blockade can there be further cooperation between Cecil and the Silver Empire. Otherwise, everything can only be empty talk. ”
