Chapter 182 The You of the Past
With a tap of the fingertip, you are instantly transported to Chapter 181, the wonderful world of the past you.
On the training ground.
Many soldiers, like Martin, kept talking to their packhorses.
Some were whispering.
Some were brushing the horses' manes.
After all, they were partners who had been together for a long time, and it was hard to part ways with them.
Just then, a white figure floated down from mid-air and landed steadily on the high platform in the center of the training field.
"My lord!"
Someone shouted, and all the soldiers fell silent instantly, quickly forming ranks and standing tall as pines, their eyes fixed intently on the lord on the high platform.
The packhorses beside him seemed to be affected by the solemn atmosphere and quieted down.
Richard glanced at the neat ranks and nodded in satisfaction.
Time is tight.
The task is arduous.
He didn't waste any words.
To get straight to the point:
"Next, I will distribute war mounts to everyone."
Done.
Before the soldiers could react, he had already closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the system panel, and selected all the packhorses on the training ground.
[Hint: Should we upgrade the 580 packhorses to Dream Unicorns?]
【Yes】
The moment it was confirmed, all five hundred packhorses on the training field were simultaneously enveloped in a dazzling white light!
The white light came quickly and fiercely, causing the soldiers to instinctively squint, and they could faintly hear a soft magical hum in their ears.
They didn't know what had happened, but their trust in their lord kept them from becoming agitated.
Just a few seconds later.
The white light suddenly faded.
The soldiers were dumbfounded. Where were those drab, gray packhorses they had been leading just moments before?
"Little Martin...?"
Martin's voice cracked, trembling with disbelief.
It was so tall that he had to look up to see its deep, star-like blue eyes.
The unicorn seemed to recognize Martin.
Lower your head.
It carries a hint of intimacy.
It nuzzled Martin's stiff shoulder with its smooth neck, as affectionately as the corn-loving packhorse of the past.
Martin suddenly jolted awake!
Her posture was elegant, her figure perfect, just like in legend...
Oh...
It's not a legend...
It's a real unicorn!
The packhorse, which was originally only 1.3 or 1.4 meters tall and had dull and messy fur, has now completely changed its appearance!
Its back is a full two and a half meters tall, making it tall, strong, and handsome.
Its lines are smooth and powerful, and its snow-white fur shimmers with a silky sheen in the morning sunlight.
The most eye-catching...
It was the spiral-shaped, crystalline horn on its forehead, seemingly formed from moonlight, and the faintly flickering flames beneath its hooves, as if treading on an invisible, sacred land!
He finally came to his senses, and a huge surprise and an indescribable excitement overwhelmed him instantly!
"Awooo—!"
Martin let out a strange cry, and the melancholy of parting was instantly overwhelmed by ecstasy.
"Is it really you!?"
"My God!"
"You're so handsome I almost didn't recognize you!"
He grabbed the unicorn by the neck, jumping up and down excitedly, his eyes turning red with excitement!
That shrill, piercing voice was like a fuse igniting gunpowder, causing the entire training ground to erupt in chaos!
"My lord, you've actually turned my packhorse into a unicorn! This must be a miracle!"
Someone was screaming incoherently.
"Old buddy, is that you? Is the fire on your hooves burning your feet?"
Someone cautiously tried to touch the burning flame, only to find it wasn't hot to the touch.
"It saw me! It recognized me!"
Some people, seeing the elegant creature before them casting a familiar and affectionate gaze at them, couldn't help but grin foolishly.
The soldiers surrounded their own dream unicorns, shouting excitedly and shaking with excitement.
Those packhorses, once disliked for being rustic, ugly, and incredibly slow, have now undergone a complete transformation...
Changed!
It has become a dreamlike mount that only exists in the songs of bards!
And they...
It still recognizes its owner!
...
On the high platform.
Richard looked at the soldiers' flushed faces below the stage and was also infected by their excitement, revealing a smile.
He raised his hand and gently pressed down.
It's just a simple action.
The training ground fell silent instantly, and all the soldiers instinctively straightened their backs, their eyes fixed intently on the high platform.
The only sounds in the room were heavy breathing and the occasional soft hiss of the unicorn.
"The packhorses are very weak..."
"Just like you guys used to be."
Richard's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a penetrating power, reaching everyone's ears and stirring their emotions.
"But in chiffon cake..."
"Nothing is impossible!"
"The miracle of life will take root and sprout here, giving new life to the ordinary. You can do it, and so can they!"
He paused.
His gaze swept over every fervent face.
"Starting today..."
"They are not merely livestock carrying you, but your sharp blades in battle, your shields that protect you through life and death, and your most loyal comrades on the battlefield!"
The resounding voice, like a war drum, struck the hearts of everyone.
"They will also be the force that carries the glory of chiffon cake, crushes all obstacles, and propels us toward the future!"
"Now..."
"Feel them, accept them, and become one with them!"
The words fell.
The soldiers' blood was boiling!
They all turned to face their unicorns and reached out to gently stroke their smooth, warm necks.
"Chiffon Guardian, Fusion!"
Karl, who was standing at the front, shouted a command. Upon hearing the order, the soldiers closed their eyes and activated their special skills.
moment...
Between the soldier and the unicorn, a pale golden light quietly appeared, establishing an invisible telepathic connection.
This is the pure bond between a knight and his mount.
No words are needed.
They are of one mind.
...
next second.
The dreamlike unicorn transformed into a beam of white light, disappearing entirely into the soldier's chest, and a strange change quietly occurred within him.
Their bodies swelled up as if they were being inflated, and their originally loose training clothes were stretched taut.
The muscles under the skin are knotted and raised.
The lines are grotesque yet full of power.
Like the hooves of a dreamlike unicorn, clusters of blazing white flames rose from his hands and feet.
Martin flexed his wrists, and he could clearly feel an unprecedented, surging power coursing through his body.
She tried lifting her foot again, and the light beneath her feet flickered slightly with her will, a feeling of lightness filling her entire body...
It's as if a single leap could pierce the sky!
After fusing with the mount, the rider can fully inherit all of the mount's attributes and effects.
Although the Dream Unicorn is currently only at the beginner level of the extraordinary rank, its stamina, defense, and movement speed are all at the SSS level.
After conversion...
It can almost double the attribute boost for soldiers.
The passive ability of the [Dragon Emperor's Guard] can increase defense by two times, and after fusion, it can be directly stacked to four times!
And its movement speed is even faster than Richard's!
If it were a duel between equals, Richard himself would probably be no match for these soldiers in a one-on-one fight.
but...
The stronger they are...
Richard was more and more satisfied!
—This is the confidence that chiffon cake should have!
...
He slowly floated up from the high platform, smiling and waving to the ground.
The soldiers immediately understood and, based on their fused instincts, poured a small amount of life force into the burning flames on their legs.
In an instant.
Everyone slowly floated up.
of course.
Classes like Soul Reaper, Life Apostle, Arcane Sorcerer, Contract Soul Master, and Shadow Blade can only take off on a unicorn.
However, they also looked very excited.
Flying war mounts!
There aren't many Frost Foam and Running Wolf!
And yet, even though I'm not a main combat unit, I still managed to get one!
...
finally.
Soldiers, standing on flames and riding unicorns, floated densely in mid-air above the training ground, as if on parade!
They looked up at the lord who was suspended in front of them, their eyes filled with fanaticism and piety that could almost scorch the air!
Richard looked at this nascent air force, which was enough to overturn the continent's understanding, and felt a surge of pride in his heart!
This is a team that we built ourselves...
Absolutely loyal to their legion!
"I said..."
"We will make you stand atop the highest peaks, reaching to the heavens, and make other legions tremble and howl in your shadow!"
"Warriors!"
"The mission of bringing glory to chiffon cake is now entrusted to you!"
Done.
He suddenly raised his right fist high and let out a roar that shook the heavens.
"Chiffon cake!!"
In response to his...
It was a roar like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down!
"glory!!"
"glory!!"
"glory!!"
More than five hundred voices converged into a violent sound wave, shaking the trees around the training ground. The flames beneath their feet surged wildly with the roar, their momentum unstoppable!
...
...
Catherine, who was standing guard on the city wall, saw this scene from afar and got goosebumps all over her body.
Looking up at the lord in the sky.
She looked longingly at it.
He muttered to himself...
"glory..."
