Chapter 402: Chapter 402

[The Golden Pansy Knight Order is one of the most elite armies among the followers of the Goddess. They are an elite unit belonging to the Divine Champion, with all its members being powerful knights above elite-level. Members typically wear finely crafted silver armor and luxurious blue cloaks, with the emblem of the Goddess of Fortune—a rabbit gazing up at the goddess—adorned on their chests. They wield legendary-level sharp weapons, making them one of the most formidable units in the goddess’s army.] ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel•fire.net

[Endowed with strong faith, they believe that the blessing of the Goddess of Fortune grants them and their companions the necessary strength for battle, able to turn the tide of battle. Within the knight order, honor, faith, unity, and good fortune are the core values of the knights. They believe that as long as their faith in the Goddess of Fortune is devout enough and they remain calm and courageous in battle, they will attain victory and good luck. On the battlefield, they always maintain a stable mindset, believing the moment of opportunity will come.]

Characteristics: [Outstanding Equipment: The equipment of the Golden Pansy Knight Order is exceptional, with all members outfitted with heavy armor and wielding powerful Spiritual Energy Field weapons, their armament so superb it is almost unrivaled in the world.]

[High-Quality Soldiers: The knights of the Golden Pansy Knight Order are high-talent units with powerful traits and extraordinary qualities, able to react quickly in battle and forge ahead without hindrance, able to withstand great military pressure.]

[Exceptional Will: The knights of the Golden Pansy Knight Order all possess strong faith, embodying qualities such as loyalty, honor, faith, and steadfastness. They have extremely high battlefield adaptability, immune to spiritual damage, and ignore numerous negative restrictions.]

After reading this section, even Su Xi couldn’t help herself. Her ever-cool eyes raised: "Is she just blowing her own horn? Didn’t she feel ashamed when writing these?"

Lin Rui suppressed his inner amusement and said expressionlessly: "Maybe what she said is true. I think the summary at the end matches our knight order’s traits well."

Even the sweet but naive Audrey could see through it—the Lucky Lady was just using this formal occasion to stealthily insert her personal touch! Crafting a perfect persona!

Also portraying herself as generous, kind, beautiful, elegant, wise, outstanding, graceful, and noble in appearance!

After all, she never showed her face, whether beautiful or ugly; isn’t it all just based on her own claims?

Audrey immediately linked her arm with Lin Rui’s: "Dad, you must not be deceived by this green tea. Women at such a high level are the best at mixing some vague viewpoints into a piece of text that seems extremely righteous. By the time you finish reading, it feels reasonable, but actually it subtly instills her own views! She’s definitely inserting her personal touch."

Hanna also bit her cherry lips and nodded approvingly: "It’s a pity she doesn’t go play mind games with Tzeentch. Little ancestor, you must remember this. Women called goddesses are never easy, their hearts are always dirty. They love to toy with men who treat them as goddesses. You better watch out and not get played."

Lin Rui glanced at her: "Whether the Goddess of Fortune plays mind games with Tzeentch, I can’t say. But it’s a real pity you’re not a Tzeentch believer. You two complement each other perfectly. What you’re saying is extremely righteous and then you falsely accuse an innocent goddess of being a woman who plays with men..."

Given Lin Rui’s Wisdom Value, the little tricks of the two of them couldn’t possibly sway his will—it was purely wishful thinking. All their intentions and methods were seen through clearly.

Just like the Goddess of Fortune summarized, the battle style of the Golden Pansy Knight Order is one of calmness and stability, maintaining courage, and then fortune will follow.

This goddess, perhaps lazy and capricious, has a very deep and comprehensive understanding of her Divine Champion.

It can be said that she summarized the knight order’s background, culture, style, traits, etc., very thoroughly and aptly, to the point that not even Lin Rui had thought this comprehensively before her summary.

In all fairness, through her systematic construction.

Even this newly established Golden Pansy Knight Order can rival other famous knight orders in detailed background and knight order culture, even historical heft.

If you only look at the knight order’s introduction, ordinary people wouldn’t even notice any difference between the Golden Pansy Knight Order and the White Wolf Knight Order, Sun Knight Order, or Red Flame Knight Order.

Especially since there are four knight order legends, much like a chronicle of the knight order. At a glance, it’s impossible to tell which of the four knight orders is newly established.

Then Lin Rui put the Golden Pansy Knight Order’s [Knight Contract] into his Heroic Space.

Unless he is slain himself, no one can steal this [Knight Contract]! There is no possibility of it being lost.

However, now that the knight order exists, the problem is where to find mounts for the knights.

After all, such a massive knight order theoretically should be fully equipped with various units. Surely it can’t be that when it reaches a thousand, or even ten thousand strong, they still remain as mere foot knights.

Most knight orders of the Empire include both foot knights of the Imperial Knight Order and mobile knights. Some even organize their own ranged units.

Of course, due to the uniqueness of the Golden Pansy Knight Order, Lin Rui controls all religious faith and territorial politics single-handedly.

The Golden Pansy Knight Order is destined not to fight alone. Since it’s a subsidiary knight order of the territory, it inevitably joins forces with other territorial forces.

The Mage Corps, Priest Corps, and ranged units are all formed by the professional soldiers of the territory.

The Golden Pansy Knight Order only needs to organize foot knights on two levels, and knights are sufficient.

Foot knights are easy to say, most of the knights within the knight order are foot knights. After all, even a Celestial Punishment Fear Knight, a Doomsday Calamity Knight wearing mechas, counts as a knight. Knight King Violet, a foot two-handed sword knight, also fits into the knight category.

But this mobile knight is not so easy to solve.

Lin Rui furrowed his brow deep in thought: "Where to find a batch of mounts, with maneuvering speed even exceeding Tier Five Celestial Punishment Fear Knights, for the battlefield?"

Audrey naturally widened her eyes: "Griffins. They have the [High-speed Flight] trait. Once they reach Tier Four, without acceleration, they’re already thrice the speed of sound. If accelerated now, their speed can be seven or eight times the speed of sound."

Eight times the speed of sound would be an unbearable overload for pilots on Blue Star. The instant acceleration to eight times the speed of sound, the pilot’s brain might directly lose consciousness from the shock.

But in this supernatural world, eight times the speed of sound is easy-peasy, merely enough to ruffle hair.

Even Audrey, a charm element apostle not known for her physique, sitting on the back of a black dragon, simply experiences her skirt fluttering, rather than being blown off by the storm.

"Griffins are indeed one of the best choices." Lin Rui nodded: "The problem is the griffin numbers are too few, only twelve, and only six of them are females, their reproduction rate is too slow."

While a unit of about a thousand having twelve aerial cavalry is already a very impressive configuration.

For the wealthy Golden Pansy Domain, this ratio is too low.

People, after all, must be strict with themselves. Can’t just be satisfied by reaching the Imperial Province Guard Army’s ratio.

Audrey enthusiastically said: "You can use Territorial Essence to hasten it. If you accelerate several rounds, Death’s Wings could mature even faster. Then I could ride the black dragon and become a dark element powerhouse riding a black dragon! Hahaha."

Lin Rui glanced at Death’s Wings, whose head was drooped, leaning against her skirt.

This idiot dragon, although already upgraded to Tier Six, and its head almost at Audrey’s height, didn’t swell or grow arrogant.

It’s still in a juvenile dragon mindset, heavily reliant on its stepmother Audrey. Although it’s even more afraid of its stepmother Su Xi.

Even though Audrey is only Tier Four, when she pets its head and climbs onto its back, it doesn’t make a peep.

But now, hearing Audrey’s words, it swiftly raised its head, blinked wide-eyed: "What? Females? Reproduce? Daddy, are you going to find me a little female dragon? How about we charge into the Underground City right now? Let me tell you, little female dragons among black dragons, to us male dragons, are just like you human men seeing a beauty in black silk!"
