Rifle charge in Ark, but without a mount

The knights have always despised the knight competitions organized by the merchants in the city. In their view, it is as childish and ridiculous as children playing house, selling their own honor as if it were a commodity or a toy. They also never think that those fakes who dress up beautifully and perform in the arena like clowns according to other people's fixed repertoires can be called knights.

They have their own pride, a pride written with the blood and corpses of their enemies. This is an honor that no one can take away, not even the Ursus people, and certainly not those clowns.

This is the fortress of Silver Spear Pegasus, the fortress of the conquering knights.

…………

Although it is a modern mobile fortress, it still has the characteristic architecture of the Knights Templar, a meeting hall built with huge stones, where the commander of the Silver Spear Pegasus discusses strategic decisions and various affairs with his officers and generals. Although there are several windows on the top of the hall, the light is still not sufficient, making it seem a little dim.

Claude walked into this place holding his helmet. The leader of the Silver Spear Pegasus, Silver Spear Pigassos, would be waiting for him here. After all, the way he joined was too unique, and he was mentally prepared to be subjected to various tests. Facing the subordinates who would be under his command, how to make those war-hardened knights convince him also required careful planning.

"That guy didn't even come back to take a look and just left. He didn't even say hello in person. I don't know when he will be back."

Yelena picked up a glass of juice, and a layer of ice mist filled her hands. She waited until the temperature dropped to a suitable level before she slowly drank it. Even though she had been treated in Rhodes Island and the deterioration of her mineralogy had been effectively curbed, her body temperature still did not rise much, and she still needed to lower the temperature when eating.

"Xiao Ke wants to drink too!"

"I also want!"

The two figures slumped on the sofa jumped up when they saw her take out juice from the refrigerator. In order to prevent the two of them from overeating, the refrigerator was now locked. Only Yelena and Hintereja had the key. Sasha didn't come over often because she had a mission, only Yelena would come over every day.

"You just finished your meal, so you can only drink juice, not bread or anything else."

Yelena took out two two-liter bottles of juice from the refrigerator and placed them on the table, then locked the refrigerator door and ignored their cries.

"So cold!"

"If it's cold, drink it slowly. Leave it outside for a while and wait until the temperature rises before drinking it. Otherwise, it will upset your stomach."

"It's okay, I can heat it up!"

Yelena was horrified.

"The plastic is melting! Stop it, what are you doing?!"

"Hurry up and catch it in a cup!! Don't catch it with your mouth!"

After a flurry of activity, Yelena got them two glasses, which finally calmed them down. They were two beautiful girls, but they were as troublesome as children. Thinking of Claude saying that he would not be back until three months later, and then realizing that she had to take care of them for three months, Yelena's face suddenly became dark.

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 149: Conquest

The bread was frozen dry and hard, and it was like a sponge when chewed. After being soaked and softened by saliva, the aroma of grain filled the mouth. The hot beer in the double-layer thermos was still hot at this moment, and drinking it in one gulp warmed up the whole body. There was also dried meat with very little water, which tasted very salty. Generally speaking, it was put into the pot to cook soup together, but now they didn't have time to waste.

Claude stuffed the last bite of food into his mouth, chewed it hard for a few times, and then washed it down with hot wine. The blood was melted by his body temperature and seeped into the military uniform under the armor. He mobilized his ether furnace, and the surging ether immediately raised his body temperature, causing steam to emerge from the gaps in the armor.

With every breath he took, a large amount of ether would be generated in the ether furnace, stripping and decomposing the complex energy in the air. This originally complicated process could now be completed in an instant. At every moment, the free energy in the surrounding air would gather into his body and accumulate in the furnace.

Claude let out a long breath, and the hot air flow melted the snow in front of him, revealing the still green grass underneath.

This is where the fourth-order extraordinary people are far superior to the third-order ones. With the high-efficiency ether furnace, they can generate a large amount of ether between breaths, and have inexhaustible magic power. Coupled with the magic organs in various parts of the body, they have a powerful destructive power far beyond the third-order one with every move.

"gone."

The silver-white knights stood up one after another, clearing away the traces they had left behind. They formed into columns of four and followed behind him. The swords and spears in their hands reflected the light of the snow, so sharp that people dared not look directly at them.

Such a team of hundreds of people were trudging through the snow at an astonishing speed, as if the ground under their feet was not thick snow but solid road surface. Each of them walked briskly and climbed over one mountain after another at a very fast speed. This was the world-famous Kuranta Knights' charge.

With their strong physical fitness, the knights of Kuranta can cross various complex terrains at a speed that no other vehicle can match. Whether it is a snowy mountain or a lush jungle, a rocky hill or an endless desert, no one can keep up with their speed in this terrain.

In the snowstorm, the Silver Spear Pegasus was like a silver sword, passing through the mountain peaks and over the ridges, pointing to the north of this land, the border between Casimir and Ursus.

………………

In his hand was a thick piece of cloth, with a black velvet surface and a cotton lining. This cloth must be very warm, enough to protect its owner from the cold. But now it was covered with blood, and the coagulated blood scabs showed a dirty and bloody color.

But it now has another use, to wipe off the half-coagulated blood on the spear blade. The Silver Spear Pegasus are searching among the corpses, looking for those enemies who are not dead yet, and giving them merciful relief. There is half-coagulated blood on everyone's spear blade, but they don't have time to wipe it off.

A high-speed battleship was burning nearby. Most of the Ursus soldiers had died in the previous battle, and only a very few had managed to escape. No... it was too early to say that they had escaped, as several Silver Spear Pegasus had already caught up with them. They were destined to die here.

After quickly searching for the supplies they needed, the 101 Silver Spear Pegasus disappeared into the woods, leaving the Ursus army that arrived later empty-handed and unable to even obtain enough useful information.

………………

This is the winter offensive launched by the Ursus army. This combat operation does not mean that they want to capture Casimir or occupy a certain area. It is more of a harassment and exhaustion behavior. It intends to rely on its own strong national strength to effectively consume Casimir and continuously bleed the border of this country. The main form of combat is to use high-speed warships carrying thousands of elite soldiers to enter Casimir to burn, kill and loot, which has always achieved good results.

But this year, the offensive they launched suffered an unexpected setback. The sixth battleship had been destroyed in Casimir. They didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, and all the attacking forces were fooled.

Although they knew that the instigators must be those knights, they were too dominant in the complex terrain of Casimir. The Silver Spear Pegasus, who were familiar with the terrain, used various methods to attack the invading Ursus troops head-on. They appeared and disappeared in the forests and hills, making it impossible for the Ursus army to catch the enemy's tail.

The enemy commander not only possessed a smart mind and keen combat awareness, but also had rich experience in fighting in this kind of terrain. Now it was the Ursus who were slowly bleeding, the losses of the troops were gradually increasing, and they did not even succeed in crossing the border of Casimir.

If a single warship encountered those swarms of silver spear Pegasus, it would be captured. So the remaining warships of Ursus began to form small groups of twos and threes, trying to use this method to counter the enemy's tactics.

But they overlooked one thing. In such a place, the Casimirs were the ones who really had the upper hand. If they tried to continue invading the border in this way, they would only put themselves in a dead end.

After the second commander was hanged for ineffective combat, the losses of the Ursus army finally reached their limit, and under the order of their general, all troops withdrew from the border of Casimir. This battle ended in complete failure, without any results, but heavy losses.

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

Claude stood on the top of the mountain, with tall trees beside him, and the knights hiding among the trees. In the distance, the Ursus warships were retreating, and many of them had visible damage. The power of the silver spear Pegasus's javelin was no less than that of the Originium cannon, especially when they were close to the enemy, they could often cause a huge blow to the warships. Relying on these highly mobile elite knights, Claude severely damaged the Ursus invasion force at a very low cost this time.

This also enabled him to establish a strong prestige in this army.

"Casos, take your team and keep an eye on here to prevent them from making a surprise attack. As for the rest of you... let's go back and return victoriously."

The knights knelt before him as one.

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 150: Triumph

The tall tree was cut in half by the sharp axe in a few strokes, and the fallen tree trunk was gently caught by Silver Spear Pegasus, as if it were made of cotton, without even causing his shoulders to shake. He placed the thick birch trunk under his feet. There were already 6 trunks piled here, and two more would be enough for their fuel consumption today.

He searched carefully in the woods in front of him, found another suitable one, and walked over with the axe.

They were now 327 kilometers away from the Casimir border, and they had walked here in 5 hours, relying only on their feet. But it was still a long way from their fortress, so their commander ordered them to set up camp, and the knights began to work together and set up tents and camps in this hidden depression at a very fast speed.

"What a victory and glory."

The knight couldn't help thinking in his heart. What a victory this was? They beat back the Ursus just as they entered the border, making Ursus taste a bitter defeat. For decades, no one in Casimir had ever been able to do this, but their commander did it, and did it so cleanly and neatly that it completely subverted his imagination.

After putting the last tree trunk on the ground, he raised his axe to start the next step, breaking the tree trunk into wood piles and then chopping it into firewood. These fuels, which still contained a lot of water, were sent to the side, and other knights were responsible for drying them. With orderly and tacit cooperation, they quickly completed their tasks and used a makeshift sled to send the piles of firewood back.

They are the most elite and powerful knights, and it stands to reason that this kind of work should be done by menial workers. But they are also the most disciplined soldiers, able to complete all harsh tasks, and those fools who would complain about this kind of thing cannot join the Silver Spear Pegasus.

Under the snow-capped mountains, the silver-armored knights slowly returned to the burning fire.

…………

This is a small portable lamp. As long as you turn the knob, the source stone solution inside will contact the light bulb to produce a chemical reaction and emit light. It is quite solid and durable. Even after a violent fall, it can ensure that the delicate structure inside will not be damaged. Just like the tent he is in and the folding chair under him, this is also the military supply of Silver Spear Pegasus.

Under the bright light, Claude was writing his diary. He had developed this interest while leading his men to fight outside, and brought a notebook with him to record what he encountered.

11 month 08 day.

There are many high mountains on the border of Casimir, and the terrain is very rugged and dangerous. In addition, there are Originium creatures everywhere and the temperature is extremely low. It is definitely not suitable for anyone without military skills to come here, but this is also the home ground of the Silver Spear Pegasus. With our high mobility, my subordinates and I can fight against the Ursus battleship cluster.

They are indeed excellent knights and will not question my orders. This is also the basis for my plan to proceed smoothly. After all, if they have any doubts about me, we may suffer more casualties in this conflict.

I also increasingly want to recruit these elite warriors under my command. I have achieved considerable results this time. This achievement should be enough for me to enter the upper echelons of Silver Spear Pegasus. This is also thanks to Grandpa Cyril who prepared a high enough starting point for me, giving me room to perform.

They can't really play a role here, as the Silver Spear Pegasus is best at long-range raids. Under the current national conditions of Casimir, they can't play their advantages at all.

A series of tactics of the Sky Knight can be applied on them. If I can achieve my goal in the end, a lot of things I know can be applied again.

By the way, there is a kind of short and thick Originium beast here that is delicious. Its meat is fat and lean, with a very beautiful pattern. It smells very good when fried, but the internal organs must be removed in time, otherwise it will contaminate its meat. I don't know why it was fine when it was alive, maybe because of some strange chemical reaction.

There are not many vegetables here, so we can only soak some dried vegetables we brought with us. Although we are moving very fast, our food consumption is also astonishing. According to the distance we have traveled, we will be able to return to the fortress tomorrow.

…………

I miss you all a little bit. Does this mean I have become weak?

Okay, that's all.

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

The Pegasus were running on the road like an unstoppable torrent of steel. Before seeing them with his own eyes, Claude had never thought that there was a kind of soldier in this world who could keep up with the car with just his legs, and had strong endurance, and could run at the highest speed for two or three hours without rest.

Ah? He can do it easily, so it's okay.

The gate of the fortress was opened for the knights, and they walked in calmly in an orderly formation. This was the honor they deserved as victors. All the soldiers gathered on the high wall to cheer for them. The swords and crossbows in their hands pointed to the sky, and the fortress's defense cannons pointed to the sky and fired for them. The knights passed through the intersection of light and shadow and returned in true triumph.

As the commander of this team, Claude received the most honors, but he was already used to it. The officers surrounded him, hooked their arms around his shoulders, and talked to him enthusiastically. He responded calmly. This was the lifestyle he was most familiar with. Every day he heard the sounds of swords and guns clashing, and drills and fighting. The people he could see were also these elite soldiers. He understood their way of thinking, what they liked, and what they wanted to see.

So it didn't take long for Claude to gain the respect of all the Silver Spear Pegasus. It wasn't because he had a deep background, they wouldn't admit such a thing, these warriors who fought through iron and blood, the only thing they believed in was iron and blood.

This was not his first victory. With victory after victory, all the voices of doubt had subsided. Looking at these people who were looking at him eagerly, just like the soldiers of the Integration Movement in the past, they entrusted their lives to him in victory after victory, and he had never let them down.

Surrounded by many knights, Claude stepped into the meeting hall that he saw when he first arrived.

PS: I found myself having no ideas at night after working during the day. I don’t know what’s going on. ┗( TnT )┛

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 151: Stormy

If you ask people from any other country what the symbol of Casimir is, they will say without hesitation that it is the knightly competition. The knight is not only the economic pillar of Casimir, but also the most specific and representative image of this country in the world. The knights who once charged into battle on the battlefield now appear in the prime time of radio stations in various countries, wearing bright and beautiful armor and costumes, competing with the same opponents in the arena... or a kind of performance.

After all, in previous knight competitions, knights would not go on stage to sing and dance, and they couldn't do that even if they were killed.

Every city in Casimir has its own arena, and knightly competitions bring countless income to the country every year. The current prosperity of Casimir is all built on this foundation, just like a high-rise building with only one pillar that cannot tolerate any storms.

There is no shortage of infected people in this country, although they are not exploited to death like Ursus. However, there is extreme discrimination and oppression. Just a few years ago, no infected person was allowed to walk on the street openly, and they were not allowed to participate in knight competitions, which was the only chance to change their fate here.

After the Brilliant Knight Margaret won the championship, the city's policy towards the infected was significantly relaxed. The infected were granted some basic rights, but they still struggled to survive at the bottom. But at least they had the possibility of survival.

What really caused a huge change in the city's policy towards the infected was the next champion after Margaret, an infected knight named Blood Knight. His appearance gave the infected the right to become competitive knights, giving them a tiny chance to turn things around.

Countless infected people are fighting with all their might for this tiny chance, but even if they become knights, they can only be the bottom of this feast of Casimir.

Among the countless infected knights who were regarded as consumables by the upper class, there was a knight group that stood out. The Red Pine Knights achieved quite good results in this season, making many people in Casimir look at the infected with new eyes.

It seems that this knight group has achieved good results, but only these infected knights know how much they have paid to achieve everything they have now, and how cautious they are.

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

"How's the situation?"

This is a Zalak girl, she has red hair and a fluffy tail of the same color. She is wearing a soft armor made of heavy fabric. Although it is flexible enough, its protection is far from comparable to that of metal armor. However, the biggest advantage of this soft armor is that it is cheap and can provide a certain degree of protection. It is the choice of many knights who are not well-funded.

"These two can't be saved. We have to send them away quickly, otherwise they will pollute this place. This one can still be saved, but it requires medicine, which we no longer have..."

The one who answered his question was an infected knight, but this knight looked extremely poor. Not only was his armor tattered, but the robe outside the armor was also very dirty. It looked like this set of equipment was picked up from a garbage dump, but here, his equipment was already considered relatively good.

The girl bit her lip, with an embarrassed and hesitant expression on her face. She knew that she needed medicine, but medicine was so expensive. If they used the money they earned to buy enough medicine, then the Knights would have to disband. After all, if they did that, they would spend all their money, including food expenses.

"It's okay, Sona. We all understand you. This is our fate. After getting this disease, each of us knows what our final fate will be. We can't drag you down for our sake. You've finally gotten better."

The Infected Knight understood the other party's difficulties very well, so he quickly dissuaded the other party. According to his thinking, at this point, it was not worth using precious medicine or funds. The best way was to put the other party in a corner where no one was and let him fend for himself. After all, they had done everything they could.

"No, wait a minute, I remember I still have some things I can sell..."

"That's enough, Sona... Really enough, you've done enough. You've participated in such a dangerous competition, and you have plenty of money to spend. I know what my situation is... I should have died a long time ago..."

The only conscious infected person struggled to interrupt the girl's words. Black Originium crystals had covered half of his face, making him look extremely hideous and terrifying.

"Throw me into the sewer... Only if you can survive can you save more compatriots... I can't hold you back any longer."

The girl held the hilt of her rapier with great force, as if she was going to break it. She had bitten her lips and blood was flowing out. But in the end, she could only turn around and listen to the noise of the infected knights carrying the patients out. It was not until the room returned to silence that she had the courage to turn around.

There were no traces of the patients on the ground. Only blood mixed with fragmented Originium crystals drew a shocking picture on the ground. It seemed to have life and people dared not look directly at it.

They were so weak, and compared to this city, they were just a bunch of scum. But scum always wanted to survive, so they could only live in such a humble, lowly way, and try their best to survive until the day they were destined to be turned into a pool of Originium fragments.

…………

"It's really shocking that there are so many infected people in this city."

The dark-haired Fidelia boy held his crossbow and sat on the eaves of an abandoned high-rise building. His sharp eyes could clearly see what was happening below. This was the most dilapidated and darkest place in the city, and it was also the gathering place for the infected. The scene here made him involuntarily tighten his crossbow.

"He's right. This is where we are needed. We still have a lot of things to do. Don't just sigh and complain. We are the most critical step and we must not make any mistakes."

It was rare for Xinteleya not to wear her white clothes. After all, they were conducting a reconnaissance operation.

"Got it, where do we start?"

Faust put on his mask and returned to his usual calm and composed self.

"In this case, we still have to use our traditional methods. The first and most important step is to start with publicity."

Casimir's New Chronicles: Chapter 152: Hunting and Festivals

The knights' armor would quickly become extremely cold outdoors in winter, so in order to resist the cold, the knights would put on an outer robe over the armor and a cloak over the coat to keep them warm enough.

Most knights wore standard robes and cloaks, but Claude wore a thick fur cloak. The dark and shiny fur could withstand even the freezing climate of Ursus, not to mention that the temperature was far lower than that of Casimir in Ursus. So in the heavy snow and wind, the knight walked on the streets of the fortress.

A few minutes later, he entered a heavily guarded building, and the knight guarding the place nodded to him.

On the tall tower of the building, the large bell used to tell time was struck vigorously. The clear sound spread throughout the fortress, startling countless birds and beasts in the surrounding forests, and the roars of wild beasts and the flapping of birds' wings echoed in the jungle for a long time.
