Rifle charge in Ark, but without a mount

Ms. Zofia and Maria hugged each other and lay on the carpet, looking more like a pair of sisters. Mr. Mainna propped up his head with one hand and fell asleep sitting on the chair. The others also looked different, but the furry Koval was very popular. When the others fell asleep, they couldn't help but get close to him, and Old Martin and the others even huddled together with him.

Claude smiled and wanted to stand up and put them all on the bed. They couldn't sleep on the floor forever.

There was a slight noise from her legs, and the girl made a small sound and soon opened her eyes. She looked around in confusion, but soon figured out the situation and found herself lying on Claude's legs, which made her face flush with an unusual color. She slowly turned her head to see Claude's current condition, but she only saw a pair of heroic golden phoenix eyes.

"Are you awake? Actually, you can sleep a little longer. It's still early."

As Claude spoke, he took the opportunity to retract his legs and sat down on the sofa. The awe-inspiring and powerful blonde knight's face was burning hot at this moment. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Claude was considerate and ran to the bathroom.

"I'm sorry, Claude. We were a little too crazy last night. I don't know when I ended up lying on your lap..."

Margaret also straightened her clothes, smoothed out all the wrinkles, and put on the arm and leg armor that were placed aside. Although her clothes did not seem to have a breastplate, it was actually hidden under the clothes and was usually covered by the white outerwear. But her strong waist was exposed. Although this might be designed for flexibility, it was still a little unsafe in Claude's opinion.

"No need to apologize, Margaret. It's a rare occasion for everyone to get together, so don't spoil their fun. Let's move them all to bed. They probably won't wake up until noon. I can't move Koval alone."

Margaret also calmed herself down, and looked with a smile at old Martin and the others who were huddled together on the ground, as well as her aunt and sister who were hugging each other. Even her uncle, although he maintained his usual serious look, was actually drunk last night, and it seemed that he drank a lot. When his uncle, who was highly skilled in martial arts, heard the noise made by the two of them, he was not alarmed at all.

The two men began to cooperate tacitly and moved their friends and relatives who were sleeping on the ground, especially the huge Koval. His muscles were not grown in vain. After putting his aunt and sister on a bed, he was about to move his uncle, but he saw that Mainna had woken up and was rubbing his eyes.

"Good morning, Mr. Mainna."

"Uncle, are you okay? Do you have a headache?"

Maenna stood up without any sway, but his face was still tired. The physical discomfort reminded him of the feeling of being hungover when he accompanied his boss to social events. But it didn't matter. He was very experienced in dealing with this kind of situation, not to mention that he didn't have to go to work now.

After looking at his niece and Claude, he still didn't say much. After all, young people should have their own choices.

"I'm fine. I just drank a little too much and have a headache. It will be gone in a while. You guys go take care of those guys, and Maria. She seemed to have slept on the floor yesterday..."

The three of them began to clean up the messy living room, put the remaining food in the refrigerator, dumped the garbage into the trash can, mopped the floor, and put the tables and chairs back to their original positions. It was still early, and when they woke up, the bar could still be open.

After completing the preparations, Claude put on the Silver Spear Pegasus' equipment with the help of Margaret. He didn't expect that he didn't get back last night, otherwise he would have just kept it on, which would have been more convenient. But when he was drunk, he had already asked the crossbowman on the roof to notify others, so nothing should go wrong.

"Claude, you look very handsome in this outfit. I think it will cause a sensation if you walk outside. Fortunately, it is early in the morning and there are not many pedestrians."

Margaret also looked at Claude with a smile. Claude in knight armor was more in line with her aesthetic taste, which made her feel much better.

"Thank you for your compliment, Margaret. I wish you success. Please go ahead and do it. I will come to help you in time."

"I wish you the same, Claude. The Silver Spear Pegasus are all the best knights in our country, but I am sure that even among them, you are the best. I wish you victory. I will definitely win too. May the light protect you forever."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the early morning of the Great Knight Casimir's territory, the streets were covered with a thin layer of mist and the air was very damp and cold. Those who got up early would put on two more layers of clothes, complaining as they hurried forward in the biting cold wind and squeezed into crowded buses and subways.

While people were noisy, the sudden silence began to spread among the crowd like a virus. The whispers that rang out also made more and more people focus their attention on one side of the street.

"Is this true? He is actually a Silver Spear Pegasus..."

"It must be true! Who would be so reckless as to pretend to be a Silver Spear Pegasus? Look at him..."

"So handsome!! I'm going to ask him for his autograph... ...leaving! So fast!"

"Quick! Take a picture! How can it be so fast?! It's not clear at all!"

"Where is it? Where is it? Why is there no one here? Are you guys lying to me?"

"Who lied to you? It just disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 146: An Unexpected Encounter

A silvery-white shadow leaped across the street like the wind, and the black cape behind it made the air rustle. It moved towards the central block at a very fast speed. Passersby along the way could only see a silvery-white light and shadow, and could not see what it was. They were whispering to each other.

But the news that the Silver Spear Pegasus appeared in the Great Knight Territory had already spread across the intercity network, and the front pages of various news outlets highlighted the news. Although most of them were just a blurry image, plus a short essay written by the reporter using his imagination, the speed of transmission was still quite fast.

After all, the Silver Spear Pegasus has always been the pride of Casimir. Those extremely powerful knights have created countless miracles even in the battle with Ursus. Every Casimir grew up listening to the legend of the Silver Spear Pegasus. Every aspiring knight, their greatest dream is to become a Silver Spear Pegasus.

However, the Silver Spear Pegasus, as the most important military force, had been deployed at the border of Casimir and was not visible to ordinary citizens. So even if this was just an uncertain news, it instantly topped the hot search list of the city, and people in every corner were discussing this uncertain news.

The instigator of all this was still unaware of it. After all, the Great Knight Territory was a rather large city, more than four times the size of an ordinary mobile city. So in order to reach his destination as soon as possible, Claude rarely let go of his speed and ran wildly on the streets in the early morning when there were fewer pedestrians.

According to common sense, when Claude started to speed up, ordinary people would not be able to see his appearance clearly, so even if someone took one or two blurry photos of him, it would not be a big deal.

But this is a city of knights. Although most of the competitive knights are just filling the numbers, there are still a few knights who possess real skills.

When Claude passed an alley, he felt a very obvious gaze. He turned his head slightly and saw a tall knight wearing a strange helmet that looked like flames and scale armor. The other party was holding a long-handled broadsword in his hand and was staring at him silently.

This is a relatively simple armor, made by weaving metal sheets together with armor ropes. Although its defense and comfort are not as good as the plate armor that fits the body, it is cheaper, easier to maintain, and can provide good defense.

Although the knight looked interesting, Claude had urgent business to attend to, so after taking a few glances, he continued on his way. But then he heard footsteps from behind and turned his head in surprise, only to find that the strange knight had dragged his sword and started running with him.

The opponent's speed was no less than his, and was getting faster and faster. Claude immediately understood what he meant: he wanted to compete with him in speed.

It is 6:03 in the morning. There are very few pedestrians on the road. The traffic light is on at the intersection ahead. The two people stopped tacitly and waited with the vehicles for the red light to turn green. The two people couldn't see each other's faces clearly because of their helmets, but they accepted this challenge at the same time.

5, 4, 3, ...

The numbers above their heads were slowly decreasing. The two men were ready to go, lowering their bodies.

Claude thought slowly in his mind: I still have an hour, enough time to fight him. Since Claude became a knight, he has never refused any challenge. After all, the First Legion fights all day long, bringing together a group of energetic and highly skilled young people, so it is natural that this kind of thing will happen. And he is also a well-deserved champion, not only the champion of the legion, but also the champion of the human empire.

He likes challenges and never refuses anyone who challenges him.

"The third stop on Kentney Street, 2 kilometres away, is the final stop. The first person to arrive wins."

"Ah."

The red light turned green, and the two of them disappeared on the road like a gust of wind, leaving those cars far behind. The whole street was filled with the sound of their footsteps like thunder and drums, and they disappeared into the distant horizon at an extremely fast speed.

…………

A slender, white hand slowly pushed aside the curtain, reflecting the woman's tranquil and beautiful figure on the window. She became the only knight who had the honor to witness the two knights competing in speed on the street. The heroic figure of Casimir's silver spear Pegasus attracted her attention, but then the bump on her head forced her to retract her action.

The woman has a pair of exaggerated horns on her head, with numerous forks, which makes her look as elegant and charming as an elf in the forest.

"A Pegasus with a silver spear? It's really rare. No... I have never seen one before. It's just like what is described in knight novels. There is no empty words, and it's even a little conservative."

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Claude stomped his foot heavily on the ground, bringing his speeding body to a stop at the shortest possible speed. The ground beneath his feet was cracked by his footsteps. Next to him was a road sign. He stood there, turned around, and waited quietly.

Two minutes later, the knight finally arrived. Seeing that he had lost the match, he came to Claude without saying a word.

"You win. You are strong, stronger than anyone I have ever met in this city."

"You are also very powerful. Most people can't keep up with my speed."

"You are a real warrior and you won't participate in such a boring game. I want to compete with you again and fight with real weapons."

"I still have important things to do. If there is a chance, I am willing to use all my strength to compete with you again. I will return to this city again in three months. If you are still here by then, come and find me here."

"I'll be waiting for you."

…………

'What an interesting man.'

Claude gathered his cloak, as this place was not too far from his destination. He made a promise to himself for the future, and then he turned his back to the other party and left at a very fast speed.

There were still complicated plans that he needed to execute. It was not an easy task even for him to master the entire Silver Spear Pegasus within three months. All the operations of the organization and the affairs of the Lin Guang family would have to rely on themselves. He could not help them in these three months.

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 147 Cutscene

"No. 36."

Looking at the house number in front of him, Claude pressed the doorbell without hesitation.

It looked like an ordinary family apartment, with a brown oak door and a narrow entrance hall.

Even the doorbell is just a brass bell hanging on the doorplate, which looks quite retro. The people who live here can only remind people of the elderly who are used to their previous lives and are too lazy to change even though the city is changing with each passing day.

A few seconds later, hurried footsteps were heard behind the door. Then the wooden door was pushed open, and a young Kuranta maid stood on one side of the door very naturally after seeing Claude, making way for him. Claude carefully wiped the soles of his shoes on the mat at the door, and then stepped into the building. The door was immediately closed by the maid.

"Please go to the second floor. The master is waiting for you there. The master has instructed that if you haven't eaten yet, you can get food in the lobby on the first floor."

"Thank you. I've already had breakfast. I'd better go to the second floor to meet the adult first."

"Please go this way. Please hand over your weapons to the staff next to you for safekeeping before entering. This is the rule. Please understand."

"Of course, thank you for your help. Please continue to work. I already know the next route."

………………

Holding the helmet under his arm, Claude slowly walked up to the second floor. The most eye-catching thing on the second floor was a study, because there was a big gold-plated number "2" written on the door panel.

Claude stood at the door of the study. It was empty here, and there was no so-called staff. But he naturally took off his carrying gear, including the weapons hanging on it. Then he lifted these things into the air:

"Miss, please keep these things for me. According to the regulations, I can't bring them in."

A slender hand with calloused hair took the items, and the pink-haired girl flipped down from the ceiling. She was only wearing simple armor, with two short swords on her waist. She had round ears on her head, which looked like Zalak's. She quickly opened a box next to her, stuffed all of Claude's weapons into it, and closed it.

"Come in, Mr. Claude. The master is waiting for you."

The wheat-skinned girl saluted Claude and opened the door of the study for him.

"excuse me."

………………

Warm sunlight shines into the study from the huge French windows. The dust in the air is clearly visible in the light. They move irregularly in the air, but their bodies seem to be arranged in an orderly manner.

An old man with white hair was lying on his chair with his back to Claude, and the table was piled with various documents and books. He was motionless and looked like he was asleep. In this quiet study, in the warm sunshine, everything seemed so harmonious and warm.

Claude did not disturb the sleeping old man, but found a chair and sat down.

…………

He didn't have to wait long before the old man sighed, slowly opened his eyes, and turned his chair around. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, groaned comfortably, and leaned back in his chair.

"If that girl saw me, she would definitely tell on me. But now that she can't come in, I can rub my eyes without any worries."

"Rubbing your eyes hard is not good. It can easily lead to bacterial infection or something."

"But sometimes it's uncomfortable if you don't rub it, you know, young man. When you just wake up and feel that there is a layer of stuff on your eyes, who can resist rubbing it at this time!!"

"That makes sense. I also have a hard time controlling this urge sometimes. It should be fine as long as I rub it gently."

"You are very smart! Young man, no wonder the master likes you so much. I almost thought you were his grandson-in-law, otherwise he would be so concerned and even used a lot of his military connections... Okay, young man, fill out this form, and a car will take you away this afternoon. You are lucky. If you are an officer from the beginning, you will have a higher starting point than most people."

Claude took the form. The requirements on it were extremely complicated, even to the point that he had to write down the specific birthday of a relative in his family. But as a third-level transcendent, Claude's enhanced brain allowed him to easily retrieve the specific information from his memory.

10 minutes later, Claude finally stopped writing. The form was filled with densely packed small characters, listing almost every piece of his information. However, he managed to write each of these tiny characters very neatly, just like they were printed out, which was pleasing to the eye.

The old man took the form and checked it carefully, then picked up the seal next to it and stamped it. He then took out a metal box from under the table, entered the password to open the box, and carefully put the paper inside.

"Okay, that's settled. Stay here for a while and talk to my old man. The person who's going to pick you up won't be here until the afternoon."

Watching the old man put the box on the ground, and then pushed it hard under the table, the old man's sometimes careful, sometimes rough movements made Claude hesitate to speak.

"When Lord Cyril called me and said he would use his connections to send someone to Silver Spear Pegasus, I almost thought that some criminal was talking to me in his voice. After all, how could a man as strong and upright as him say such a thing? But I believe he is not wrong. With his prestige among us, it would not be a problem for him to send 10 people to Silver Spear Pegasus, let alone one person. None of us old guys would question his words, and I also believe that you, a young man, will not disappoint him."

"Of course, I will become the best among all the Silver Spear Pegasus, and more than that."

Under the sunlight outside the window, Claude's sharp eyebrows were raised high, and his expression was still calm and calm. But the old man felt something else from it, something that could be called ambition.

"It seems that you are very confident, but I still have to tell you one thing. Those who can enter the Silver Spear Pegasus are the best knights in this country. It is not as easy as you think to surpass them."

"Please rest assured, I am confident in what I am doing, so I dare to say this."

Claude lowered his head and looked at his chest. Next to his heart was a new organ, which was tightly attached to it and beating slightly. Driven by it, ether flowed throughout his body like a stream. The key organ of the 4th stage - the "Ether Furnace" had been completed.

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 148: The Fortress

The sun set completely below the horizon, and the city, which had been bustling all day, became even more bustling, with neon lights illuminating every street and alley. At this time, Claude had already boarded an armored vehicle and left the city.

The vehicle was driving at the highest speed in the wilderness. Tomorrow morning, he would be able to see the Silver Spear Pegasus' camp. The two people driving the car were also Silver Spear Pegasus. They said nothing and did not greet Claude. They just did their own thing. But Claude knew that part of their attention was always on him. Before he joined them completely, this group of excellent soldiers would remain vigilant against him.

Claude sat quietly in his seat, entering a special state. He looked like he was asleep, but his breathing was even and gentle, and no matter how bumpy the car was, his body could not shake more. With his long and rhythmic breathing, the whole space became quiet, and the dust and chaos outside the car could not disturb the tranquility inside the car.

The two people sitting in the front seat of the vehicle looked at each other, and then returned to their previous state. The tacit understanding of many years of fighting allowed them to convey their meanings with just their eyes. The person in charge of driving the vehicle silently increased the speed. Facing the two bright moons in the sky, the armored vehicle with heavy tires drew a long trail of smoke and dust on the ground.

………………

When it comes to the residence of knights, the first thing that comes to mind for people who often read knight novels is a heavy stone castle. This impression cannot be said to be wrong, but it can only be said that it has not kept up with the times.

As a regular elite military organization, the area where the Silver Spear Pegasus was stationed was a fortress. This fortress was located directly in the mountain, a mountain peak was hollowed out and built with steel and concrete. There were densely packed gun ports on it, each of which was large enough for a person to get into. The density of the city defense guns here was even higher than that of some mobile cities.

The top of the mountain was completely flattened, turning it into a large airport, with aircraft of all sizes taking off and landing on it. A huge land-based warship slowly sailed into the steel gate of the fortress, with traces of large and small shells on it, and smoke was still rising from many places.

After the huge ship entered the mountain, the two alloy gates, which were several meters thick, slowly closed. The jagged structures on them were firmly bitten together, and there was no trace of any gaps at all.

The fortress is surrounded by dense primeval forests. It is located in a very dangerous position, which is the intersection of two mountain ranges. At this location, not too many troops are needed. Just an elite team of a thousand people is enough to hold off tens of thousands of enemies.

As they got closer, Claude saw that underneath the huge mountain was actually a huge moving land mass. The mountain he had just seen was just the tip of the iceberg. The kilometers of tracks were clearly visible, which meant that this powerful fortress was mobile and could change its position at any time according to changes in the battle situation.

Although the newly born bourgeoisie of Casimir had many conflicts with the nobles, they never dared to withhold the military funds for the knights. With the injection of large amounts of funds, the border fortresses became larger and larger year by year, and more and more reactors and various war machines were added.
