"Don't repair that building. Have someone blow it up again."

"what?"

The adjutant was stunned.

The colonel's expression remained calm.

"Not just that building, but also a few less important ones. Then report back to the higher-ups. The damage caused by the Stormtroopers' rebellion has not been recovered yet, so we can only do our best.

If anything goes wrong, let them blame the White Wolf Earl for raising a traitor."

The adjutant, who was also an experienced man, understood it immediately.

"As expected of you, Colonel. I'll arrange for someone right away."

Those intelligence officers up there are only good at slacking off. Why should they be forced to do the hard labor and take the blame? I don't know who's the best at the job, but after all these years in Victoria, who can't pass the buck?

"Ah."

The colonel responded indifferently, then continued to walk towards the cafeteria while smoking his cigarette.

The adjutant who had to work overtime was not angry. He shouted at people to get ready to work, asked someone to bring him food from the cafeteria, and then walked away in a swagger.

then,

Soon, before even encountering the enemy, the conservative nobles suffered a large number of casualties in their camp.

***

Another two days later.

Lying on the deck chair of the moving transport ship, Luo Hang almost began to doubt himself.

I've already walked most of the way. I think I can reach my destination in three more days... Where are the people?

"Our disguise shouldn't be that perfect, right? We're already over a thousand kilometers away from Shi Huaiya's territory, and we're still deep in the heart of the conservative territory. Those guys won't be able to find us, right?"

Luo Hang, lying on a recliner, held up his sunglasses with one hand, tilted his head and asked Dai Feien beside him with a confused look on his face.

But Dai Feien was also confused about this issue.

"We haven't docked in the city for resupply. Perhaps the conservatives really don't have sufficient control over their territory?"

Dai Feien spoke hesitantly, and he himself was a little unconvinced.

Although they did not approach any city in the territory of the conservative nobles, it was such a large land ship after all. Even if it passed through land, the traces left behind could not be covered up in a few days. How stupid must the conservatives be to not have discovered their traces until now?

"Or maybe they've already discovered us and are setting up traps to catch us all at once when we're off guard?"

Dai Feien thought about it and came up with a second conclusion that seemed more reliable.

But the problem still exists.

"They haven't even come close to check, and we haven't found any signs of surveillance. How are they supposed to confirm who's on board this ship?"

According to their original expectations, the first group of people who came to trouble them should be some ordinary inspectors. If they could not deal with them, there might be escalating interceptions later.

but now……

Dai Feien was also at a loss.

When they set out, they saw the armored knights boarding the ship with them and were excitedly looking forward to the scene of the armored knights fighting, but they waited so long——

What about people?

If we keep letting it go, the knight's armor might rust. You don't really want us to reach our destination without any trouble, do you?!

Daphne, who was a relatively rational person, had a rare and inappropriate thought.

After all, it would be a good thing if they could reach the destination safely.

But the current situation really leaves everyone quite confused.

"What's there to worry about? We have so many armored knights here, and we have the doctor. If those guys set up any traps, we can just dismantle them!"

Indra came up with a simple and crude solution.

Dai Feien was a little speechless.

But I have to admit that this is actually quite consistent with the current situation.

"Having eight steam knights as guards is truly the treatment of a king."

While sighing like this, Dai Feien couldn't help but look at Luo Hang next to him.

"Our armored forces are currently no match for the Steam Knights, but you really don't need to worry too much. The conservatives can't pose a real threat to us unless they spend a lot of money."

Luo Hang put down his sunglasses and spoke leisurely while lying on the recliner.

"Right!"

Indra also shouted.

"Lemonade, Doc."

Dagda carried a tray and placed a glass of drink on the table next to Luo Hang.

"Ah, thanks."

He stood up and thanked him, but Dagda behaved very seriously, even standing at attention. His short stature stood straight, and he looked him straight in the face as if he was reporting.

"This is what I should do."

"All right……"

Luo Hang has also gotten used to it.

Ever since Londinium came back and successfully brought back the national sword, Dagda's trust level has skyrocketed, directly jumping to [Current Trust Level: 148 (32↑↑)]. Then, when he met the First Armored Team, he became a completely different person.

If we look at the trust level, Dagda's current status is:

Current trust: 186 (38↑↑)

? 154√

And judging from my own condition...it's like this now.

The small young tower knight acted almost as formally as he would to the king's teacher. Everything he did in front of him was very methodical and respectful, to the point that people were not sure whether he was the king's tower knight or his own knight.

However, according to Indra, Morgan and Vina, Dagda was in this state when he first came to them. It was very common for him to kneel on one knee in front of Vina and beg for mercy, but they corrected this later.

But Luo Hang, this scumbag with a bad taste, had no intention of refusing. Instead, he let Dagda do what she wanted and happily enjoyed the respect of the tower knight lady.

The only thing that made him want to complain was,

"Why am I working so hard, but the results are just getting worse?"

Surely it's because I'm too charming, right?

[Confirmed. The enhanced level 2 psychic enhancement's effect on consciousness disturbance can be interpreted as a further boost to the commander's charisma, aiding in the management of subordinates.]

'Shut up. ’

Luo Hang sipped his lemonade expressionlessly, and responded in his mind, "You don't need to explain at this time. You should learn more about emotional intelligence, adjutant."

[…Confirm the command, the response system will be silent within 15 minutes]

whispering sound.

How come this artificial intelligence doesn't know how to read the atmosphere at all?

Indra on the side was also teasing the serious Dagda:

"When you were at the foot of the palace, you shed so many tears looking at the Steam Knights buried there. Now the Doctor is in charge of the Armored Knights. How about you ask the Doctor to let you wear a suit of armor too?"

"Shut up."

Dagda glared at Indra directly, "If necessary, I will earn my own armor through my actions and merits. A knight's armor is not something you can insult like this!"

"What? I'm doing this for your own good!"

Seeing that the two seemed to be about to fight, the others around them hurriedly tried to dissuade them, but Luo Hang touched his chin.

The Steam Knight certainly held a special place in Dagda's heart, or rather, in the eyes of many Victorians, the Steam Knight was a symbol of Victoria, a special mark. But for Dagda, who had always aspired to be a knight, this attachment was even stronger.

The Steam Knights were tragically annihilated in the Lair of Kings, but now the National Sword was brought back through his hands, and the Armored Knights, who replaced the Steam Knights, were also revived in his hands. Dagda probably transferred all his original emotions to him, which is why he looks like this now.

But that's true,

Victoria's king, national sword, steam knight, almost all the most iconic elements are in his hands. It seems hard for people not to believe that he is not an orthodox Victorian, right?

As the king's tower knight, Dagda's attitude seemed to be nothing wrong.

However, as a typical old scumbag, he has very little confidence in himself even though the tower knight lady in front of him is so loyal and respectful.

After all, I am not an old grandfather with white hair and all worldly desires gone, but a 'young man' who has undergone two enhancements and is full of energy!

This tempts me, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself...

And one more thing that must be mentioned is,

As he made great contributions and was seriously injured before successfully bringing back the national sword, it was not only Dagda whose trustworthiness was affected.

King of Push

Current trust: 182 (41↑↑)

Standards have been raised

Current standard: 176√

As he taught Vina, the future king seemed to have grown somewhat, but even so...

It seems that this pair of king and knight, master and servant, are all their own people?

Chapter 5: Blood Flows Like a River! (k)

The uneventful voyage continued for another day.

At noon on the fifth day after leaving the Dukedom of Shihuaiya, the disguised transport ship that Luo Hang and the Glasgow Gang were riding on finally welcomed the first group of uninvited guests.

"Stop! Route inspection! The ship ahead must stop immediately for inspection!"

Two small fast ships approached the two sides of the bulky transport ship, pointing their weapons at the transport ship in the middle. A man who looked like an officer stood on the deck and shouted into a loudspeaker.

"Doctor, do you want to stop?"

Dagda on the bridge asked Luo Hang seriously.

When the two fast ships approached each other, they had already discovered each other's traces, so the current situation was not unexpected.

"Stop, let them come up."

Luo Hang glanced at the gloomy-faced officer on the fast ship next door and continued, "In terms of speed, the big guys under our feet can't match them. There's no need to rely on luck, just prepare for action."

As he said this, Luo Hang picked up the bridge communicator and instructed the First Armored Team, which had also been prepared in advance, on the other side:

"Send two men to eliminate the weapons on the other ship. Don't let our big guys get hurt. We still have to rely on these guys for the rest of the journey."

After a pause, Luo Hang continued with malicious intent, "Just send two people, no more, and then use the most intimidating tactics you learned during training. If you don't scare the enemy to death, your mission will not be completed."

"Yes!!"

An unusually passionate and powerful response came from the other end of the line.

This was the first actual combat since the establishment of the First Armored Corps, so they couldn't help but be excited.

Equally excited were several girls from the Glasgow gang who had been looking forward to the Armored Knight's performance.

"Doctor, can I go too?"

While the others chattered, Vina gave him a questioning look.

"Just perform with confidence,"

Luo Hang smiled and said, "This is the stage of your Glasgow Gang. If you, the King of Advancement, are missing, wouldn't it be meaningless?"

"Yes, Master. We finally have all the members of the Glasgow Gang together again. How can we fight without people?"

Indra rubbed his hands in preparation.

"I just arrived and the enemy is the Inquisition Army? This welcome is too grand."
