Chapter 567: New premises

Under the orders of the first mate, although they knew that the other party was not the enemy, but the well-trained crew still immediately returned to the battle stations, carrying ammunition to carry ammunition, should make preparations to make preparations, machine gun cannons, although they did not support pronged up, very impolite pointing to other people’s faces, but also ammunition loaded, at any time in the state of can be activated.

Judging from these performances, although the Sacred Shield was full of internal conflicts, the training of its personnel was still quite in place.

However, the speed and agility of the fighters still blew them away, especially in numbers, if they really swarmed the Silver Shield, although it didn’t crash, it was feared that it would suffer considerable damage.

What was most frightening to the first mate was that because there was no magic involved in the construction, it meant that these thin and simple looking craft were perfectly capable of mass production.

Because of its special expansion method, the Sacred Shield was able to absorb a large amount of money and talent from the outside world, after all, no one would want to miss out on joining a department that was able to exercise power across the region in the name of justice, so the term “rich and powerful” was not enough to describe it.

Even so, the number of magical airships in the entire Sacred Shield has only just broken through a hundred, most of which are still bronze shield and iron shield level airships, and such a combination is not because they cannot afford to build them.

Therefore, once they encountered this kind of flying machine that didn’t need to rely on magic and could be mass-produced, they simply couldn’t compete with the consumption.

“Good thing we’re not enemies.” The first mate’s words were unbelievable even to himself, because he was well aware of the expansionism and authoritarianism within the Sacred Shield nowadays, and it could be said that it was only a matter of time before there would be conflicts with the various stations.

Just thinking about the fact that he would be facing an overwhelming number of flying machines in his lifetime, the first mate felt that it was time for him to retire early.

Once they had left the confines of North City’s no-fly zone, the fighters also returned to their flights, much to the relief of the combatants who were standing by.

Don’t look at the fact that the Sacred Shield had created quite a few magical airships, but they didn’t have much experience in aerial combat, and when they occasionally encountered one that could fly, they could only run for their lives in the face of the ship-hardened magical airships, so the magical airships had always been used as aerial platforms for ground attacks.

But now it is different, dozens of flexible and fast flying machines are not only equipped with machine guns, but also carry bombs, really fight, in case of hitting the keel, they are afraid that it is even difficult to leave a whole body, after all, the defense boundary is not omnipotent.

In the ship personnel expressed fear, but Jonathan knew that this is only the territory to show the tip of the iceberg, how deep the water here, not to mention him, even if the Chief Minister Harvey is not clear.

However, this is good, only to feel the bottom of the details, in order to let those who have already begun to see the top of the sky to understand the fear, do not dare to easily do.

“The destination is about to be reached ahead, lower the altitude and start slowing down.” Jonathan kept giving orders, and these orders were then passed on to all parts of the Silver Shield, slowing down the behemoth’s speed through cooperation.

Compared to the Divine Shield, which hadn’t been figured out until now, and the Golden Shield, which the Legends had stepped in to build, the Silver Shield, although cost-effective, had many flaws, such as the lack of attachments, and the lack of precision components, which led to cumbersome maneuvering and slow response of the entire ship.

This requires that the commander of the airship must have a wealth of experience, pre-judgment to give orders, just like a huge ship at sea, must take into account the inertia and other issues, especially airships, air currents in the air, the ground bumps, can lead to airships damaged or even crashed.

Fortunately, the Northland is vast, as their stronghold is even more carefully selected, do not need to consider too many problems, the Silver Shield is very smooth docked in advance of the construction of the dock, this will also be the daily maintenance of the ship place.

Magic airship because the shape is a sailboat, it is impossible to dock directly on the ground, but there are people who want to design into a flat bottom, but not good-looking not to mention, will also be due to the problem of airflow will lead to the hull of the ship violent bumps, after all, vigorously flying bricks do not apply to the atmosphere, even if the magic is not a long term solution.

Because of these reasons, the magic airship has always retained the shape of the sailboat, so when docked for maintenance must be situated in the special dock on the overhead, or directly overturned will become a joke.

After docking, the crew didn’t stop, while shutting down the functions that didn’t need to be turned on to save magic power, while carrying out maintenance, after all, this was a new ship, still in the break-in period, no one dared to be careless. The side of the cabin suddenly lowered to form a sturdy wooden ladder, and Jonathan, dressed in a gorgeous division gown, walked down the docking bay with the lean members to meet the garrison that had been waiting there for a long time.

“Subsecretary Jonathan, I am the leader of the 103rd Reserve Corps, welcome.” The dark reddish black and red face of Tua came to greet them with a team of soldiers in tanks, maybe the words would have been more believable if there was a bit of a smile on his face, right now it was more like some kind of silent warning, so a lot of the members behind Jonathan’s face turned not so good, but the veteran staff didn’t have much of a reaction to that, instead they focused their attention on the soldiers’ looks and equipment, which was a sign of a veteran.

The 103rd Reserve Corps was stationed not far from S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Northland branch, a well-equipped veteran corps that had participated in battles against the Noble Alliance, the Border City Alliance, and the Barbarian Kingdom.

Arranging such a regiment here was nominally to cooperate with the Northlands branch of the Sacred Shield, but in reality, those who understood understood.

Receiving such treatment, the members of the Sacred Shield were actually no strangers, as there were even more excessive ones.

There is no way, the sacred shield’s hand stretches too long, now in addition to the southern five countries belonging to the elf root dwarves of the country has no branch, other places are more than one branch, at the same time have the right to cross-region to combat any defined as evil organizations and criminals also let them suffer great suspicion and ostracism.

However, the rulers need the existence of the Sacred Shield, because through this platform they are also able to interfere with other forces and achieve many ulterior motives, therefore, even if the following no matter how much they do not want to see, the Sacred Shield still grows.

After a brief handover, Jonathan ordered his first mate to stay on the ship to keep watch, and then took his men into the branch.

Although he gave a warning at the meeting, the territory didn’t discount the treatment it should have given elsewhere.

The branch premises that the territory prepared for them was not an old-fashioned castle, that thing was not suitable for living at all except for defense, so it was a reinforced concrete poured building, which was much more sturdy and durable, together with the internal pipeline, it was also very convenient to use, at least there was a flushing toilet, not needing to pout on the terrace.

Thinking about this, many female members revealed satisfied smiles, especially after seeing the double dormitory with its own bathroom and toilet, it boosted their favor.

The magic airship modeled after the Divine Shield was not bad in terms of living conditions, even the Silver Shield, which pursued cost-effectiveness, hadn’t diminished too much, after all, a large number of people had to be considered more comprehensively, with an appropriately increased level of comfort.

So the locally prepared quarters became a nightmare for many members of the Divine Shield, especially when going to the toilet, many people have had the experience of elevating their asses on the second floor balcony.

The men were fine, for the women it was similar to public execution, even if that was how they used to live, but after joining the Sacred Shield, the habits had long since changed.

What pleased the female members the most was that there was also a nice garden with many beautiful and exotic plants.

In contrast, the male members are more concerned about the training ground and food in the building, after all, iron and protein supplementation is very important, the male does not want a fit and shiny muscles.

In this regard, they would like to praise the olive oil placed in the bathroom, just do not know where to buy, no other meaning, is simply convenient to replenish, this thing is used quickly.
