"... Since signing a garrison contract with the DuPontlin family, we have provided them with twenty-five Paladins, twenty-five Rangers, eight Watchmen, eight Crusaders, one Fortress Master, as well as thirty Punishers and twenty Lancers, and another 192 different types of attendant mechas."
When Soshyang heard this number, he was surprised.
"So many? I remember that Ulanhuda started supplying the knights of the DuPontlin family for only 20 or 30 years? This combined... there are 104 knight mechas, and there are nearly 200 attendant mechas."
"You don't know that before the Great Rebellion broke out ten thousand years ago, we originally wanted to provide armed equipment for the two Knight families. When the production task was issued, the casting world began to mass produce all kinds of accessories needed for the Knight mecha. Although the assembly and production work of the Knights was interrupted after the outbreak of the Great Rebellion, the large number of spare parts produced were still there and were always placed in a huge stagnant warehouse. Only the foundry director has the authority to start. This time, the restart of the factory was only to restore the assembly work of 10,000 years ago."
"Oh...so that's it, that Lancer and Punisher...I remember it seems...a model that is rare now."
"Kerpent Viper."
"Yes, horned viper, I saw it when I was looking at the historical information of the Knight Mecha."
As a relatively complex ancient knight mecha, the horned viper-level knight's complex frame system is efficient and sensitive, and has an amazing speed far beyond the rangers and paladins. This makes the horned viper-level type often catch the enemy very quickly and eliminate the enemy in melee combat when the enemy fails to react. This is also the biggest difference between the horned viper-level and the Trail Blazer-level. The design of the horned viper-level was born purely for war from the beginning.
The Trailblazer level is more a symbol of guardians who are responsible for defending their territory, while the Horned Viper is a pure warrior and conqueror, and a tool born for destruction.
Thinking about the military parade before the expedition, the DuPont Delin family had only 13 knight mechas and 32 escort mechas, but now it is close to the size of a third-level family. Soshiyan couldn't help but sigh and worry in his heart.
Aware of Soshiyan's emotions, Bangula spoke in time:
"Legislative Commander, IMHO, the knights need to be tempered in the war. Long-term comfort will only corrupt the armor and depress the sword... You did not let the DuPontlin family participate in the expedition because they were worried that their strength was still weak. This is understandable, but now they have grown up. The adopted sons of the Grand Duke of Olga have given birth to many children. A new group of knights will grow up soon. They need blood and death to feed them to grow into eagles on the battlefield. Otherwise, the DuPontlin family will probably live up to your expectations..."
After pondering for a while, as the anti-gravity platform slowly moved, he stared at the giants in front of him with a huge metal skeleton exposed, and said slowly:
"How is the DuPontling family going through the years?"
"Overall, but...slightly slackened."
"A little slack..."
Soshiyang was in thought. At this time, the anti-gravity platform stopped in front of a Knight mecha that had been basically completed and not painted. This thing is nearly 10 meters high and has a "slim" shape that is very different from the common Knight mecha model. The relatively slender waist and legs occupy most of the body. The lower half of its legs is a very unique anti-joint design. You can imagine how quickly it will run. Its torso looks much simpler, with only two thick armor combined together. The narrow head is surrounded in the middle by dome armor and chest armor. The shoulder armor is also very small and there are no weapons, making its arms visible to the naked eye. Soshiyang likes this simple and capable militarized style very much.
"Is this the horned viper?"
"Yes."
"It's a very pure body, and it's probably all its weapons are on the arms."
"The lances-type weapons are mainly impact spears."
Under Bangula's command, the anti-gravity platform turned to the test site on one side, and a huge spear was dragged to everyone by a hook.
"This is a power spear with an electromagnetic-hydraulic joint power that can attack enemies at relatively long distances in close combat."
As he said that, this power spear was brought to a machine, and as the energy was input, the spearhead of the giant spear burst out with dazzling current.
The next second, with a puff sound, the spearhead of the spear slid out of the electromagnetic sleeve at an extremely fast speed, rubbed out the sonic boom ring, and broke into about three or four meters, and quickly shrank back.
"...With the dual help of hydraulic and electromagnetic devices, the spearhead with the decomposition force field attached will pierce out at an extremely high speed. The experienced knight will perform this action one second before stabbing the target. At that time, the terrifying speed and strength, coupled with the decomposition force field of the spearhead, enables it to break almost any armor, including the Titan's leg armor.
Soshi raised his eyebrows.
"Is it purely melee configuration? Is the risk too great? It doesn't seem to have too strong defense."
“Not exactly.”
Soon, energy was input again to impact the inside of the spear, and as the spearhead shone again, it was different from before. At the same time, a thick alloy guard plate in front of the test site rose.
It got brighter, but there wasn't so much current, and it seemed that the energy was being suppressed.
"By adjusting the output and decomposition modes, combined with the structure in the spear rod, the electromagnetic field acceleration mechanism that impacts the spear head can emit plasma jets."
With a sound of thunder, the rushing plasma flow swept out like a furious giant snake, instantly piercing through several layers of alloy armor plates, and it was not exhausted or disappeared two or three hundred meters away.
"This powerful high-temperature jet has great power. Although it does not have too long range due to its own design, it is already enough to deal with most threats and obstacles from the middle distance."
Before Bangula could finish speaking, a huge translucent shield with a solid structure lowered down.
"In addition, in order to make up for the shortcomings of the defense of the lancers, it will also use large plasma arm shields, which are usually equipped on the right arm armor of the lancers. However, it also depends on the knight's own habits. The ion arm shield has more concentrated energy in the protection area, thus bringing extremely excellent protection capabilities within the projection range of the shield and also resisting melee attacks, which is something that most of the existing shields in the empire cannot do."
"Ha, the knights ten thousand years ago were really classical, but once the cluster launched a charge, I could imagine this power and scene... It should have huge lethality against enemies like Greenskin or Tyron who are interested in melee combat, but its charge requires long-range cover firepower. I guess this is the role of the Punisher type, right?"
"Legislature Commander, you must check out the Punisher type."
When Soshiyang heard Bangula say this, he smiled slightly.
Chapter completed!
