Before the War of Daybreak, the core of an army was the soldier types. It was quite obvious that a soldier type's average combat strength was Bronze or Silver.
Although a soldier type sounded quite high and mighty, it was actually a job class that had been perfected through actual combat, together with corresponding weapons and equipment.
For example, beastmen wolf riders required training and techniques such as stealing nets, tossing axes, and riding. Their equipment included mounts, axes, ropes, nets, and so on.
Once a troop type was formed, it would be able to use its own tactics (Wolf Cavalry's encirclement and night raids) and cooperate with other troop types (Wolf Cavalry's role was to harass the flanks and clean up the battlefield). As long as it accumulated enough numbers, it would become a reliable core combat force.
In the old generation, a country's military strength was supported by these powerful and ordinary soldier types.
This was quite different from ancient times on Earth. After all, there was a difference in individual combat strength between the Aishi people. Yesterday, ordinary civilians could be used as weapons the next day … In front of professional warriors, ordinary civilians wouldn't even be considered cannon fodder.
But no matter if it was Earth's civilization or the world of Eich, the advancement of technology and magic would greatly increase the difference between individuals. While ordinary citizens would become more and more powerless in front of warriors, this also allowed technology and magic to transform into advanced equipment capable of creating a qualitative change in combat strength.
The powerful individuals of the previous generation would never have imagined that with the development of magical engineering, foreign items that they used to look down on would become more and more valuable.
The Magic Armor had already become the standard combat unit of the various countries in Eich.
"… Is this also a military item? Are these emblems even part of an ace squadron? How did you get them? "
Rorschach looked at the four different types of magic armor that had just arrived. Even though he wasn't very familiar with them, the emblems of each country and the squadron's emblems still hadn't been erased. How could he not recognize them?
"This witch's broom emblem and the Cloud Tower's emblem should be … the Magic Aerial Biqi Squadron? Aerial combat bitches? "
"Cloud Tower ambushing ace witch sweepers … As your teacher, I'm rather pleased that you remember what this emblem represents. However, you don't even remember the official name of the emblem. You only remember such a dirty nickname, and you even directly say it out loud. If you meet any member of that faction, they'll beat you up."
"Ha, I can't be that unlucky."
"I served in the Biqi Legion for three and a half years."
Adeline said with a smile. If one ignored the large cross staff that looked like a spiked club, she really looked like a friendly teacher.
"… The weather is really nice today."
Rorschach abruptly changed his rhythm and forced himself to focus on the magic armor.
These were two light magic armors that were similar in appearance but had very different accessories and styles. But I had to admit that no matter how I looked at them, they were two beautiful magic armor ladies.
She had a handsome figure and body proportions like a slender female knight. Under the red paint was a light and sturdy mithril coating. Under the wing helmet she wore were the highest magnification magic compasses and probes. Under the four blood-red wings made of metal were real guns and high-threat weapons.
The Crimson Witch was the standard magical armor for the all-female aerial assault squadron of the Cloud Tower. Not only was it equipped with a powerful mechanical system, it was also made with large amounts of magical alloys in order to reduce its weight. Coupled with the fact that the user was equipped with magical powers, the cost of the armor was astonishing.
The two magic armors were basically identical in appearance. However, the slightly slender magic armor wasn't equipped with any weapons. In fact, even the magic bullets under the wings seemed to be the same as the other magic armor.
"Tsk, even the Crown Witch was sent over. Adeline, you're really honored to be able to make the stingy Shasha give you so much face. As expected of a former vice commander."
The one who jumped down from the other magic armor was Isabella, who would always leave a deep impression on me. She now had her hair tied up in a ponytail, and she looked even more valiant in her tight-fitting pilot uniform. She was completely different from her previous image.
The gray elf Adeline smiled mysteriously when she heard Isabella's words.
"What do you say? Isn't it because you were the one who shot down the Fallen King in a night battle back then? She sent over all the magic armors according to your habits back then. Do you want me to tell you just how many excessive parts are in the 'standard' model?"
Alright then, so both of them had once served in the Magic Beige Squadron. For the sake of his own safety, Rorschach decided to forget about those nicknames that would make it easier for him to remember them. He would just obediently remember their official names.
The Witch Sweeper Squadron was an A-rank ace squadron of the Cloud Tower. They specialized in all sorts of chaotic battles and unannounced battles. They would suddenly descend and ambush, turning everything upside down. Then, they would suddenly leave and rush to the next battlefield, leaving the mess to their teammates.
"Magic Aerial Combat Bitches" and "Crazy Battlefield Bitches" were nicknames that their brothers and opponents used to call them. These nicknames were specifically used to describe these aerial combat enthusiasts who would casually toss out weapons of mass destruction everywhere and blast both allies and enemies into the sky.
"Isn't it a bit too much to be directly equipped with a fifth-generation magic armor, even though it's only a school-level tournament …?"
Rorschach was still hesitating, but Adeline and Isabella exchanged glances and laughed out loud.
"… Ha, alright, let's stop laughing. We didn't directly bring these magic armors here for some school-level tournament. Do you think that since they were willing to give fifth-generation magic armors to outsiders just to test us out, they'll bring out even more ridiculous magic armors when it's time for the Battle of the Gods? For example, royalty or nobles?"
If Adeline's explanation was even slightly polite, Isabella wouldn't be merciful at all.
"Tsk, you're even a top student from the Star Knight Academy. You don't know anything about this at all. While it's true that military products are better than civilian products, do you think that the handmade products we use in Ansorenne will be any worse than these mass-produced toys? "
Rorschach finally understood the current situation after listening to their explanations.
A true powerhouse would choose components that could strengthen their strengths and make up for their weaknesses based on their own abilities. Then, they would assemble specially made magic armors that were most suitable for them. Even if mass-produced military products had obvious advantages in terms of technology, numbers, and other hardware, in the eyes of a high-level job class, they couldn't compare to custom-made products.
"It's too late to start assembling them now, and it's not worth it (I've already invested all my money into Ansorenne). I'll just make do with the models I'm familiar with."
Adeline and Isabella were both mages, and had even served in the same squadron. However, it seemed that the two of them were walking on different paths, and the difference in their magic armors was quite obvious.
Adeline's Crown Demoness (Crimson Demoness domain battle armor) seemed light and easy to use, but it was actually the slowest of its kind. A large amount of resources were used to provide her with a unique combat system.
Isabella was using a personal modification of the Crimson Demoness' signature armor, which was heavy firepower and high mobility. However, she had specially installed metal rams on certain parts … Yes, you didn't see wrong, these were the metal rams used in ancient ship collision tactics. It seemed that this Crimson Demoness was also a melee fighter.
Next to the two Demonesses were two brand-new magic armors.
"Su Nanna said that she's in the faction that doesn't use magic armors at all … Also known as the faction that uses magic armors will make you weak. Strange, then why did she come to the Star Knight Academy? She probably has some strange hobby, such as being a wolf in sheep's clothing. (Su Nanna: I've been screwed over so badly by you siblings, and you're still slandering me?)"
He eliminated Su Nanna, eliminated the lionman senior apprentice brother who had already equipped his own magic armor, and eliminated Lynn who also insisted on not using his magic armor. There was only one person who knew the truth.
"You prepared two magic armors for me? That's so nice. "
[One is for you, and the other … He should be here as well. From today onwards, he's also a member of the Third Gaming Society.]
