Chapter 172: -5- Kingdom’s Regular Army
As soon as Charlotte entered the city, she saw the army escorting Prince Philip southward.
This was Charlotte’s first encounter with the professional Kingdom’s Regular Army since she had come to this world: Uniform armor, uniform Transcendents.
Although the vast majority were not tier-entering, their equipment was exceedingly fine, and the proportion of tier-entering men was quite high.
Charlotte compared them to her own Armored Knights and quickly realized that her own troops fell short both in Transcendent strength and equipment.
Both sides were fully armored, but her own knights wore Chain Armor and Scale Armor made of fine steel, while the Kingdom’s Regular Army shone brighter, clad in fine steel plate armor, with Demon Crystals and Mithril inlaid on their chests.
Charlotte, having lived two lives, knew something about the difference between plate, chain, and scale armor, and understood the disparity between them.
Chain Armor is typically made from iron rings or wire linked together in a web-like pattern, with each ring interlocking with four others; Scale Armor consists of overlapping scales; whereas plate armor is quite different, fashioned from large shaped pieces of metal and representing top-tier protective gear, requiring more complex craftsmanship.
In terms of equal weight, plate armor provides much better protection and flexibility for soldiers; even on Blue Star, it is not considered an item from the same era, as plate armor became widespread after the fourteenth century, whereas chain and scale armors were present before the Common Era.
Not to mention those tier-entering officers, whose gleaming plate armor was also carved with ornate and intricate Magic Patterns, unmistakably Fine Gold Enchanted Armor with a large amount of Mithril, offering protection rivalling that of a Silver Moon Knight’s body.
If the two sides were to charge at each other, it’s feared that her side would be thoroughly crushed in minutes...
In short, it was a sight that sparked envy.
"Sebastian, could you take on these Regular Army troops by yourself?"
Charlotte glanced at the Flame Elf accompanying her and asked curiously.
Sebastian pondered for a moment, looking at the Kingdom’s Regular Army moving through the streets and alleys, and said:
"As long as I don’t encounter them on the battlefield, of course, I can."
"Oh? Can’t beat them on the battlefield?"
Charlotte’s heart stirred slightly.
Sebastian said solemnly:
"On the battlefield, they form battle Arrays and Magic Prohibition Arrays, complemented by Mages’ Blessings, solid as iron. Often they’re led by a Silver Moon Second Tier Transcendent, and unless someone has reached Blazing Sun, only a madman would directly confront them."
"Magic Prohibition Array?"
Charlotte was somewhat curious.
"Yes, Master, did you see those Demon Crystals on top of their armor? Those are components of the Magic Prohibition Array. Such Regular Army troops have at least five hundred men each, and on the battlefield, they themselves are a walking Magic Array, capable of suppressing the external Transcendent powers and resonance effects of the enemy within a certain range, clamping down on the powers emanating and resonating from Second Tier Silver Moon Transcendents,"
Sebastian explained.
With that, he sighed deeply:
"The professional Regular Armies of various Kingdoms are among the few entities capable of overcoming higher-tier Transcendents on the battlefield, and they are the nightmare of Mid to Low-Tier Transcendents..."
After listening to Sebastian’s words, Charlotte reflected on them.
Having crossed into this world for a year, she was no longer a novice in understanding the Mireya Transcendent System.
In the world of Mireya, the four major Ranks of Transcendents: Starry, Silver Moon, Blazing Sun, Legendary, correspond to Low-Tier, Middle Tier, High Tier, and Holy Domain powers, respectively.
Not to mention the Legendary Holy Domain that begins to control the Laws; among the other three Ranks, Low-Tier involves individual power breaking the limits of mortals, Middle Tier is capable of external power projection and resonance, High Tier undergoes a qualitative change in spiritual power, able to directly interfere with reality...
If there is a Magic Prohibition Array that can eliminate the abilities of power projection and magic resonance, then Silver Moon Second Tier Transcendents might indeed have a hard time against these metal cans.
"Of course, if they encounter a Blazing Sun, then they should be the ones to run. On the battlefield, a Blazing Sun is a real disaster, everyone else is insignificant beneath it,"
Sebastian added.
A Blazing Sun, huh...
Charlotte pondered.
Indeed, a Blazing Sun was the real trump card of many major powers.
She had witnessed the combat power of a Great Knight of the Judgement Court, wielding terrifying power that could easily destroy a town with a simple gesture, far more frightening than any Second Tier Silver Moon.
However, Blazing Sun Professionals were exceedingly rare.
Since leaving Bold Duchy, Charlotte had not encountered a single Blazing Sun on her journey.
"Of course, also because of the Blazing Sun’s sheer destructiveness, the countries of Mireya prohibit Blazing Sun Professionals from actively participating in the frontlines of internal disputes among Lords; only during a war between two Kingdoms would a Blazing Sun emerge as a strategic-level force."
"As for the Legendary... Perhaps they would only appear in a nation-destroying war,"
Sebastian continued educating.
Charlotte nodded, understanding.
From this perspective, even if she returned to her territory in the future and conflicts with other Lords of the Kingdom led to war, the most she would encounter on the battlefield would be Second Tier Silver Moons.
Even if other Lords had a Blazing Sun Professional, they would not engage directly in battle, and as long as there was no direct confrontation, with the power of True Ancestor Liberation, she should still be able to cope.
Forces above High Tier have many restrictions in the conflicts of Mireya; this is determined by the game rules of Mireya’s Transcendent System.
Without rules, Mireya would have been torn apart by High Tier Transcendents long ago.
