MTL - Age of Empires From Scratch-Chapter 286 Winter Knight Thaddeus

  Chapter 286 Winter Knight Thaddeus

  My name is Thaddeus and I'm a Spartan!

  Born in Sparta, raised in Sparta, after receiving rigorous training, he became a glorious Spartan warrior.

  I originally thought that after officially becoming a glorious Spartan soldier, my life would be one battle after another until I died in a battle and could no longer fight.

  Maybe before that day comes, I'll take a wife, have kids, and teach them everything I know about combat.

   If I'm lucky, I might be able to see the day my kid becomes an honored Spartan too.

  But I never imagined that my future would become like this...

   "Thaddeus!"

  Commander Gareth Stanton's voice is not loud, and there is no anger or dissatisfaction, but I know that I made a mistake and shouldn't be thinking wildly at this time, but I just can't control myself.

   "Don't be nervous, Thaddeus, this is no different from normal training."

  Commander patted my shoulder. To be honest, wearing Blizzard Power Armor, I couldn't feel the commander's hand on my shoulder at all, it was all because of the sound of metal impact that made me realize what happened.

   "Let me ask one last time, does anyone have any questions about this combat mission?"

   "No, sir!" Like the comrades around me, I answered Gareth Stanton's question loudly.

   "Now put on your helmet and check your gear!"

  According to Commander Gareth Stanton's order, I put the helmet on my head like the comrades around me.

With the sound of the short power supply, the display screen in the dormant state turned on again, and my eyes became bright again. If it wasn't for the front of my eyes, I could still see a bunch of data information representing various conditions, as well as transmissions from various places on my head. I felt so oppressive that I suspected that I wasn't wearing a helmet at all.

   Even after using it countless times, I still feel amazing.

   This heavy armor called blizzard power armor is really armor that can only be made by gods, right?

  When checking the status of the equipment, I couldn't help but recall the scene when I first came to Winter City.

  At that time, I didn't know anything, but I was happy to be selected by His Majesty the King as the best fighter.

  Although I was not selected in the first selection, I was still very proud to be one of the best fighters in Sparta in the second batch!

   Unexpectedly, what happened next was so incredible!

another world? another language?

   What's all this? I don't really understand, but as time passed, I saw more and more magical items, as well as magical powers such as holy light and arcane, and I suddenly understood what His Majesty the King said earlier, "Choose for God" What the **** does 'warrior' mean!

  Soldier of God!

   What an honorable title is this? Although this place called Cold Winter City... oh, it was also called Cold Winter Town at that time, the partners who came here with me and I were only called Spartan Phase II.

  Even mere students are not real fighters! Because only half of the partners who came here with me will stay in the end, and only those who stay here can become 'Soldiers of God'.

   "Never be eliminated!"

   I don’t know when, being eliminated and returning to Sparta seems to be a shame. My partners don’t want to leave, especially after seeing those magical powers. Everyone thinks that this is the world where the gods live.

  I also don't want to go back to Sparta, but I won't tell others that the real reason I want to stay in Cold Winter Town is because I feel that life here is very comfortable.

   Thankfully, I managed to stay!

  Joined the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment as a recruit of the second phase of Sparta, and not long ago entered the Winter Knights, the real ace unit of Winter City!

  Today is also my first mission as a Winter Knight.

   "Open the hatch!"

  The rear hatch of the Quin-jet fighter has been opened, and the strong wind of the storm poured into the cabin in an instant, but I, who was wearing the blizzard power armor, was not affected in any way.

   "Follow me!"

  Commander Gareth Stanton looked at me and several comrades around me, and after making sure everyone was ready, jumped out of the Quin-jet fighter first.

   "Come on!"

   One by one, my comrades jumped out of the hatch, and I was the last one.

  Stepped to the hatch, took a deep breath and jumped out directly, feeling the feeling of falling fast, I stared at the various parameters on the display screen.

  Before I joined the Winter Knights, I did not receive much airborne training. After all, the Spartan Heavy Infantry was not equipped with power armor before, and most of the equipment was changed to fight on the ground.

   But if you want to join the Winter Knights, airborne combat is a must-have skill!

  Start the thrusters to ensure that my descent speed remains within a safe value, and I looked around by the way.

  The four comrades-in-arms were scattered around, and Commander Gareth Stanton was diagonally below me.

   "Thaddeus, pay attention to your position."

   "Understood, sir!"

   Is this the first time the commander has called my name? I was a little flustered, my performance didn't seem to be very good, could it be that today is also my last mission in the Winter Knights?

   Controlled the thruster and adjusted the orientation and angle, ensuring that he landed smoothly beside Commander Gareth Stanton.

  Boom!

  The huge explosion and flames not far away finally made me realize that now is not the time to think about these things.

   "Thaddeus, pay attention to the left side!"

   Pick up the Piccolo assault rifle. I like this new rifle very much. It is much more powerful than the Garand rifle I used before. In addition to being more powerful, this new gun can not only burst fire, but also burst fire.

  Relying on the detection function of the blizzard power armor, I simply and neatly killed two elf archers who were shooting arrows at the convoy.

   "Thaddeus, kill the giant tree in front of you on the left! Don't let it continue to attack the convoy."

"clear!"

After killing two more elf warriors who rushed towards me, I turned my attention to the giant tree mentioned by Commander Stanton. This thing is a huge tree, but it has hands and feet. Or is it a plant?

   I'm too lazy to worry about what this thing is, after all, this is the world where gods live, and it's not surprising that there are any weird things.

  Control the missile launcher of Blizzard Power Armor, select the incendiary bomb, and then lock on to the giant tree in front.

   Boom boom boom boom!

  The four incendiary missiles hit the target accurately, directly turning the giant tree into a huge moving torch, and soon stopped and never moved again.

   "The target has been eliminated!"

  My attack attracted the attention of many elves. Many elf archers shot arrows at me frantically. As long as I lowered my head a little, I could see the energy ripples constantly rippling on the power armor.

  He raised his gun and shot, and called the elves in front of him one by one. At this moment, the commander's shout came from the communicator: "Thaddeus, be careful!"

  Boom!

  A huge explosion happened right next to me, the powerful impact caused a lot of damage to the shield, and my display interface kept flashing red light.

   Immediately afterwards, there was another clanging sound, without the protection of the shield, the arrows of the elves hit the Blizzard Powered Armor like raindrops.

  Boom!

   There was another explosion, this time different from before, it didn't explode beside me, but directly on me.

   "Arrows? Arcane Shot?"

  I have seen a similar ability in Winter City. Instructor Jack Krause, who taught us Spartan soldiers to use guns, can use this trick after mastering the magical power of arcane.

  The arm armor of the left forearm immediately popped out a flash bomb, and I bought myself a little buffer time.

   After a few seconds of relief, the energy shield returned to normal, and I found the guy who sneaked up on me—a tree very far away from me, and this guy was hiding among the leaves.

If it weren't for the energy reaction on the elf's arrows, I wouldn't be able to find him so quickly, and when I aimed my rifle at him, through the telephoto function, I could even clearly see that the elf seemed to be so interested in me. Surprisingly easy to find.

   Pull the trigger!

  The blue fire spewed out a deadly metal bullet, and the elf was shot and fell to the ground almost as soon as the gunshot sounded.

   Exhaled lightly, and continued to turn the gun to find the next enemy, but there were no other elves around.

   "The elves have retreated, don't pursue them!"

   Commander Gareth Stanton’s voice came from the communicator, and I realized that my first mission after joining the Winter Knights was over.

   "Everyone leave the forest and evacuate to the main road." Commander Gareth Stanton continued to issue instructions: "Thaddeus, how is your situation?"

   "All good!"

I glanced at the distance, and then touched the place where I was bombed. I am very glad that I am wearing snowstorm power armor. He was injured at that time and was shot to death by random arrows.

   After thinking about it, if I was still in the Spartan heavy infantry regiment, it would be impossible to perform this kind of mission of airborne directly behind the enemy.

  However, with my performance, I'm afraid I can't stay in the Winter Knights, right?

   After sighing, he walked out of the forest. At worst, he would return to the Spartan Heavy Infantry. No matter what, as long as he could continue to live in Winter City.

   Walking out of the forest and stepping onto the flat road, several comrades also came out of the forest one after another. I saw some traces on everyone's power armor, including Commander Gareth Stanton.

Forehead…

   Does this mean that other people are in the same situation as me? In this case, I should be able to stay in the Winter Knights, right?
