Will Beast Ear Girl Encounter Alien Ranch Story?

"Probably think that eight pieces of armor can be made in a poor place like Kazdel." Kerber, the platoon leader of the Ranger Knights, shrugged, "I hope those knights on horseback and on foot will not be killed by my army." The mount is scared out of nowhere."

"Probably yes, your baby Joanna is quite hot, unfortunately, those knights are not suitable for such a big guy."

"Forget it, I just hope I don't hurt anything, it's very troublesome."

The "Fiery Joanna" is very comfortable to use, but if it is injured and played badly, the whole company will be busy for several days.

"The spears of those knights can't hurt your cutie." After all, it weighs 122 tons, and it takes 15 people to start it. It can sweep the entire block and all the things that move on the street into pieces in half a minute. The ultimate heavy knight mount.

Eight fully armored tracks covered the whole body with weapons. The carbon-metal composite armor is as thick as 600 mm. It is definitely the knight among the knights and the best embodiment of the chivalry spirit in the new era.

You don't even need to use any weapons, just that it is slowly coming towards you can defeat the psychological defense of ordinary people, you only need to make good use of its wide body and heavy weight, no one can pass through the intersection guarded by these knights.

The solid appearance and unpretentious character will definitely bring a great sense of security to allies and the protected. It is so full of the glorious spirit of knights:

Bravery (50mm multi-tube type), compassion (will not attack unarmed enemies, because it is unnecessary), tenacity (600mm main armor, please put on the naval gun), steady (122 tons, more stable than it is called a land cruiser) , Loyalty (without a little secret and careful thinking), purity (if it is not pure, it will take several days to repair any stuck parts), sweep away the darkness (high lumen searchlights and infrared detection devices, the darkness has nowhere to hide), eliminate evil (demons) can take away the shelling)

If it wasn't for the fact that the knight arena really didn't allow this heavyweight knight to play, it would definitely become the star of the arena. Of course, the knight arena may also be renamed "Battle Lane".

"Speaking of which, our establishment is armored cavalry. How about we also start a similar competitive event, using armored cavalry to fight against armored cavalry? The scene of people wearing iron armor fighting back and forth has been played for thousands of years, so it's not as good as ours. What’s new? It’s safe and exciting to fight in chariots. There must be a lot of spectators, right? Platoon leader”

"Shut up!" The logistics engineer's face changed drastically, "Shut up, you devil!"

"The era of people fighting against each other is almost over. Next is the era of fighting tanks fighting tanks, tanks fighting mobile suits, and mobile suits fighting mobile suits!" Platoon Leader Kerber, as a fanatical tank fan There was a shocking outcry.

Although thinking about it carefully, Kazdale's Great Plains environment seems to be very suitable for doing this kind of thing......

Chapter 20 Crossroads of the Times

Kavaleriaki is not the only arena in Casimir. In fact, all major city-states have their own arenas. Only in the three-year special tournament, the merger of the four cities will form the largest The arena is used for such national events.

And Casimir's knight competition is not only Casimir's participation in the battle, Victoria's steam knights are here to hone their skills, the servants of the tower are here to blog the master's smile, and Ursus's legion occasionally appears here, Earn bonuses for their generals.

For the commercial federations that established and managed the city, each of them is trying to find a way to build a bigger arena and attract more hot money and spectators. In order to achieve this goal, the harvest and tax ratios of each village in Casimir have been adjusted. It has reached a ridiculous and absurd level.

"This is what Boss Xia said... Do industrial sheep eat people? Although here it is the arena that eats people." The countryside is exploited to the extreme, and landless farmers can only enter urban factories and factories as props in human form. Mines, as long as industries and mines exist, infected people will be produced continuously, and then infected people will become tools in the arena.

It was a complete, assembly-line cannibal operation, and Tallulah, who came from Ursus and was exposed to the Casimir countryside and the bottom for the first time, felt an unbelievable anger and anxiety, so that she was not sure about assisting Whether the behavior of the business association is right or wrong.

"This is a village in the suburbs." Yanwei Sona and other competitive knights of the Red Pine team took everyone to visit the poor village here, but Tallulah didn't do anything, just visited here normally, and then lingered for a while and made an excuse Leave and give the time to the team members who went home for the last time before the game.

Their burden is already heavy enough, and Casimir's conflict has not yet reached its peak. To put it bluntly, although the titles of nobles and knights are gradually decreasing, the knights of the Federation and the Supervisory Council are still A certain tacit understanding was maintained.

And the real intensification will be when the Federation's conspiracy is implemented, and Margaret Linguang, an important member of the Linguang family, is also the leader of the most intense anti-commercial competition.

It is not difficult to explain the motives of all this. In terms of personal character, behavior and past achievements of the family, the Linguang family is a very rare noble without black spots. For the country, they fought to the death on the battlefield and did their best to protect the people and national responsibilities.

In terms of chivalry, each of them is almost a perfect knight. There may be some minor flaws, but it is generally the embodiment of chivalry.

Yu civilians, servants of the Linguang family, and farmers can be regarded as the kind of people who live relatively comfortably. Of course, because of this, the income of the manor has never been able to increase, so... forcing someone to find a way to manage and invest a little Other industries to maintain the basic expenses of the family.

Compared with Victoria, Casimir is a country standing at the crossroads of modernity and conservativeness. On the one hand, merchants have begun to rise, knight competitions, and more and more developed industries and trade have seized a lot of wealth. On the one hand, they include the Linguang family The nobles and knights, including them, are still entrenched in the villages and manors.

To put it bluntly, in their eyes, only those who own manors and secure rents are decent people. Those who have gained wealth by operating industries and factories are just a group of nouveau riche, and now these nouveau riche are not only meddling in the glory of knights , They even began to encroach on the knight's fief.

The Federation of Commerce has already put forward some proposals in the National Council, such as changing the real seal to a virtual seal, and allowing the nobles to sell the right to use the land and ensure that private property is sacred and inviolable. There are more than 60 items in total. Of course , Most of them were rejected in the end, and there are only more than 30 articles that are still under discussion. 【Proposal of the Magna Carta】

At the same time, they tried their best to promote that competitive knights should enjoy the same power and status as normal knight nobles. The knight's, even after commercialization.

Among other things, you, Casimir, strictly speaking, can only be said to be a great knight. Under the feudal system, you are not even counted as a kingdom (without a king). Can you deny that Usa has an undisputed imperial lineage? The noble canonization of the Sri Lankan Empire is invalid?

Feudalism means strict hierarchy and personal dependence, which is different from capitalism, which does not have too many hierarchies. It only measures hierarchies by one thing: money or means of production.

Compared with the dense hierarchy under feudalism, it is more simplified, which also means that people at each level have a wider space for development, which can expand the development of productivity and ease social conflicts.

This example illustrates that in a feudal society, farmers could not eat meat, not because they could not afford or did not have meat, but because they could not!

[The genuine European feudal system is also the system before the Han Dynasty in China, including the Han Dynasty. The common people are not allowed to eat meat, and the meat eaters refer to the nobles]

In a capitalist society, the only reason you can’t eat meat is because you don’t have money, instead of restricting your consumption and power because of your rank. Therefore, the whole society is guided by money, more money, and more capital. .

This is indeed a kind of liberation for personal freedom and power. For example, after commercialization, knight competitions allow civilians to watch games, and infected people and civilian knight teams can also be equal on the field but not Definitely a fair fight.

Therefore, they could not deny Ursas's knight status. After commercialization, their resistance in this area was not fierce, but their fierce resistance was to deepen commercialization and extend to civilians and even infected people. Civilians from other countries go up.

Similarly, Margaret and the entire Linguang family, who followed the tradition and abided by the last wishes of their father and grandfather, were very opposed to this commercialization, and their prestige was there, which meant that even the bottom-level civilians, tenant farmers and infected Those who are not so obedient.

"They are already the de facto embodiment of chivalry. They are already the pillars of the Kasimir's knightly belief. If they cannot be desanctified, their aristocratic glory and status cannot be abolished or marginalized, then the Kasimir people I won’t break free from this belief for a day.” Tallulah found reasons to convince herself, the most important of which was the countryside she saw in front of her eyes.Is it really good to have businessmen in power?

No, Tallulah made it clear that this is not good, because the villages here will become more dilapidated, their lands will be merged, and the major city-states will definitely increase their exploitation in order to build their own arenas, even compared to the past The knights are more effective.

Because the knights need to use a knife, and they don't have to do anything, the farmers will give their property and land themselves. After all, why not take the money?However, how long can they sit and eat with their little money after losing their land and unable to farm in the city?

This is still based on the fact that they don't go to the arena to gamble two hands, otherwise the money they get is just a hand.

Moreover, during this process, wouldn't the merchants really collude with the local landlords and the stewards under the little nobles?Tallulah has seen a lot of what is called Hades is good to see, little ghosts are difficult to deal with, and all these evil businessmen can be thrown on the heads of knights and nobles logically.

But this is indeed what they do. In order to maintain dignity and maintain the honor of the family, why not sell the right to use the land and collect rent in another way?As for the life and death of tenant farmers who lost their right to farm, do they care?not give a damn about!

But is it better to have the knights in charge?That may be even worse, because the commercial competition of merchants will attract more spectators and passenger traffic, which means that a large number of Casimir's goods and goods can be sold, and prosperous trade will lead to a developed In industry, in factories, both infected and civilians can have a job, even at the cost of overdrafting their health.

If you just see this step, like Tallulah in the past, Kelsey and other idealists before, then Tallulah will stop the federation, because with the development of international trade, a large amount of capital and profits will eventually flow in, In fact, for the Casimirs, life may be the same or worse, but the whole country is developing at a high speed.

"At that time, when the gap reaches a new peak, these workers will completely control production. At this time, they will demand their own right to speak just like the businessmen in the past. The infected, civilians, farmers, small businessmen and even Craftsmen, the distinct groups of people will be in the factory, and they will be forged into a common whole by their own hands.”

"It's as if the knights used the butcher's knife and the noose to unite the merchants and farmers into a whole, and even made the robbers and killers who couldn't survive become decent people now."

At the same time, Kavaleriaki Grand Knights, Night Market, this is the night market in the lower city, where the infected and workers gather, it is also the location of the city's power plant and the furnace of the Origin Stone Factory, with steam overhead Condensation condensed on the pipes and metal, turning into a never-ending drizzle, and the dilapidated lighting made the place almost in eternal darkness.

But billboards from the arena, neon pipes extending from the shops on the previous block, and glowing installations assembled by locals from garbage and scraps, illuminated the street, and the heat vents on the side of the street were perpetually wafting heat.

Each block has its own power plant to provide the city's electricity needs, and each city has its own power center to distribute the energy provided by the origin stone power plant.

As for the employees belonging to the business association or "enterprise", it is difficult to see that Manna Linguang is a member of the Linguang family. He is just a new employee. As for the reason, it is because the family has no money .

Margaret insisted on participating in the knight competition, she was determined to win the whole competition with real skills and chivalry, and let everyone know that real knights would not be defeated by those competitive knights, but Manna obviously did not convince her.

"It's really stupid!" Pegasus, who already had a little stubble, shook his head. What can a young, fledgling knight do?Inside the opponent's rules trying to beat the master of the rules?And didn't she even think about what she was doing?

She thought she was taking back the honor of the family and the glory that belonged to knights, but in fact, she was giving the Chamber of Commerce a free knife.

Who is her opponent? They are competitive knights, those civilians who are eager to rise up. Why does Manna never oppose commercialized sports, and even willingly treat him as a dog, because he is cheap?

No, because he had been a ranger, he had walked every inch of Casimir, he had traveled through the wasteland, he had been to Ursus and many more countries.

He knew that that stubborn girl was not self-righteous at all against those merchants who tarnished the honor of the knights, she was against the dreams of all Casimirs, they yearned for the arena, they yearned for this relatively fair way to rise, They hope to become competitive knights and enjoy glory like nobles.

But she wanted to close the door with a bang, and then put a sign saying "Inferior people and dogs not allowed!" on the door!

"Stupid! Vanity! There is no cure!" But there was nothing she could do, because it didn't make sense for her to choose or not. She went to the competition and lost, proving that competitive knights can fight better than traditional knights, and they are also more chivalrous. ;

Winning, as I said before, closed everyone's promotion path, not only the common people, but also those of the little nobles and little knights-the Linguang family and her Margaret are the most dazzling talents of Casimir. Knights are also the existence that the Casimirs hate the most.

If she doesn't go, then even the Linguang family won't take the lead, then soon, the Chamber of Commerce will make progress, and there will be no honor and glory of knights. Merchants will gradually deconstruct the spirit of chivalry and entertain it. To be sanctified, to be sanctified, to be elevated, as if in the clouds, without any moral standards that anyone can achieve, it is tantamount to non-existence.

In other words, since my father's generation chose to stand in the knight camp, since Margaret received knight education since she was a child, and since every Tianma of the Linguang family can only stand on the side of the nobles, they have no choice. No, there should be another option, which is to surrender like myself and join the party that is bound to win.

"Knight, it should have been eliminated a long time ago!" Manna sighed, "Boss, a bowl of sour noodle soup." Casimir's land is fertile and flat, and there are many agricultural products. Therefore, in order to deal with the problem of too many vegetables, they ordered Just started making lots of pickled vegetables.

Pickled sweet and sour cabbage is a traditional local export commodity. It can be bought even in Longmen and Kazdel. Even Lao Xia is also doing this canned business, because...his cabbage and sugar Cheaper, well, it looks like the farmers in Casimir are going to suffer when Kazdel runs out of money for construction.

The sour noodle soup is a bit like the pimple soup in Chinese food. It is stewed with butter, mushrooms, pickled cabbage, and various meats. There are a lot of pimples in it. One bowl is enough to make an adult eat It is one of the main daily diets of urban bottom workers.

The other kind is cooked with beetroot, sauerkraut and potatoes, which is cheaper and is eaten by the lowest-level laborers.Besides that, because there are dreamers and contestants from all over the world.

Therefore, Casimir's diet also integrates the styles of many surrounding countries. Here you can find mead and honey marinated venison from Ursas and Sami, as well as baked pies from Victoria and baked pies from Letania. Pork knuckle can also be seen.

Therefore, for Kerber, who came to Casimir for the first time, the lower city here is much more comfortable than the upper city. It's a farmer from Ursus.

"Red cabbage soup, I like this, let us have one each, do you have bread? Ah, no, forget it, let's have a portion of grilled sausage and baked potatoes, and one of your barbecue."

Casimir barbecue is second only to their famous food of sauerkraut. After all, they are a country of knights and a country of bravery. Whether it is a knight, a gladiator in the arena, or a trainee chasing this dream, they do not eat meat. is really going to die. [Do not eat meat and practice martial arts, and you will urinate blood and prepare to belch in a week]

"Which team are you competitive knights from?" Manna looked at these strangers. There were more than a dozen of them, but only four of them were wearing fine armor. The clothes were standard uniforms, but the material was good. City team.

"Us? We are not here to compete, we are here to do security work." Kerber thought for a while, and said that he could not reveal his identity without explaining, and it seemed that it was not a black job.

"security?"

"Ah, I can't tell you the details."

"Are you Ursus?"

"No, the people of the Kazdel Republic now" This is something that can be said, and it still needs a lot of publicity.

"The Kazdel Republic, the newly established one? Where's your demon king?"

"We don't have a devil king now." Kerber shrugged. "Well, there is still one, but it's not a king. Who would expect a child under the age of six to be a king? That would be too ridiculous."

"Indeed..." Manna could only agree. After all, there are even three-year-old knights in Casimir, so it is because he does not hold back on the so-called chivalry and noble glory at all. There is something to look forward to.

Obviously he can get the title in the arena by himself, and he can also win military exploits on the battlefield. With his strength, he can severely damage more than half of the business alliance before the Wuzhou League reacts, but what?What's the use, he can't stop the people of Casimir's country from pursuing the glory and wealth that originally belonged to the nobles.

He can kill businessmen, but he can't destroy desires. Besides, there's nothing wrong with it, and he doesn't have a more advanced thought to destroy another kind of thought. Instead of letting ignorance and backwardness replace it, it's better to join it directly.

"Then who are you?"

"Company and row of the 'Titan' Armored Battalion, [-]st Division of the Kazdel National Guard"

"Wait, soldier!?" The mercenary is one thing, the regular army is another, Manann swept the street and hands, damn it, went out without a weapon!

"Now, during the vacation, watching games, traveling, and doing some odd jobs to earn a tip, is this normal for Ursas?" Kerber took out the rhetoric he had prepared a long time ago, and it is true for Ursas For the army, this is so normal that Pegasus is speechless.

However, the nature is still the same, the Chamber of Commerce or the Supervisory Committee, in short, one party must have chosen to introduce foreign forces to intervene, which touched his bottom line a bit.

"And our defense mission is actually very simple. To protect important personnel on our side, in other words, it's okay to bring regular army guards into the city, right?" It's really no problem, there is nothing wrong with it, as long as the number of people is small, for example, they There is only one row of people.

"A platoon?"

"Well, two cars"

Manna heaved a sigh of relief. If there are two cars in one row, it is indeed a normal security measure for foreign dignitaries. As for why he is not the one who arranges for Casimir... He himself thinks this question is very funny— —Who really trusts your people?

Who is the most famous killer group in all of Terra?What if the two families fight and prepare to bring disaster to the east?Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, so there is no need to tell such jokes here!

"This is the first time I've seen Ursus soldiers like you"

"It's also our first time in Kazimir. By the way, we are Ursus people, but we are not Ursus soldiers, we are the army of the New Kazdel Republic." Kabel corrected the little question.

"Then why did you appear in the lower city..."

"can not say"

"Sorry, I have an occupational disease." Manna gave up continuing to ask.
