Chapter 695: Let’s rename ourselves as the Blue Earth Knights

Armor like this, with bare arms and legs exposed, would probably be considered obscene if worn by a female commander in the East. Fortunately, this is the West, and Madeline is pretty generous about it. She didn’t protest about the exposed arms and thighs, but she felt a little confused. With such a small coverage area, it’s not really an armor, it’s more like fashion.

The Black Earth Knights couldn’t help but comment, “Hey, there’s something wrong with this armor.”

“Yeah, it’s supposed to be a helmet, but it only protects a tiny bit of the forehead. The commander’s hair is all loose, and the back of the head is completely unprotected.”

“And this armor only covers a small area on the chest and back. The waist, legs, and shoulders are full of gaps, making it easy to get hit.”

“The skirt armor is too short and doesn’t protect the legs. It’s very dangerous.”

One Black Earth knight even suggested to Robb Smith, “Mr. Robb Smith, the Arcanite you just picked up is a very rare mineral. Godfather made this thing? Shouldn’t we suggest to him to make a proper armor that can fully cover and protect the commander?”

Another Black Earth knight added, “Yes, if the commander goes into battle wearing this, she will be easily injured.”

Robb said, “Don’t worry, although this set of armor looks like it’s made of very little material, it’s actually very strong in defense. Don’t you feel the powerful enchantment on it?”

“Yeah, I can feel it,” said a Black Earth knight. “Just by looking at the blue glow, you can tell it has a powerful enchantment effect. After all, it’s made by Godfather, who is known for making good things. But… having only enchantment effect is not enough, this armor covers too little. On the battlefield, arrows, axes, spears, and magic fly all over the place. Relying on only a little extra enchantment effect without actual protection, it would be hard to assure the commander’s safety.”

The Black Earth Knights were saying this for Madeline’s safety, and Robb didn’t blame them, he just smiled.

But Madeline wouldn’t have it, she kicked one black earth knight and said, “What are you guys doing? Mr. Robb gave me a gift, I’m so happy, and you’re criticizing the gift? Do you need to consider defense when giving gifts? For gifts to girls, they just need to be pretty, right? I like this pretty gift.”

The Black Earth Knights: “……”

She looked delighted and patted the blue-glowing armor on her body, “But this armor is blue overall. It seems a bit inconsistent with the style of the Black Earth Knights when I wear it.”

The Black Earth Knights beside them nodded together and said, “Yes, yes, commander, although the armor looks good, its protective properties… cough… the color… is blue, which does not match the style of our Black Earth Knights. We suggest you change back to black armor.”

Madeline shook her head and said, “How can that be? Mr. Robb gave me this armor, and I have to wear it all the time. How about this, we rename our group the Blue Earth Knights, and all of you paint your black armor blue. Also, don’t call yourselves Black Earth Knights anymore, call yourselves blue earth knights from now on.”

The Black Earth Knights remained silent for a strange moment, and then five seconds later, they said in unison, “Blue actually matches black very well. Cough, they are both very handsome colors. It’s okay for you to wear blue armor, and it will highlight the differences between the commander and us subordinates.”

Madeline smiled and said, “Then there’s no problem.”

The Black Earth Knights said, “Right, no problem.”

Robb covered his face and thought, [The Black Earth Knights are finished. This army dominated by love is unimaginable. Fortunately, my Wind Knights are not so extreme.]

As he was thinking this, he heard a soldier outside loudly reporting, “Captain of the Wind Knights, Lord Barry is here.”

The Black Earth Knights turned their heads and saw Captain Barry walking over quickly. He greeted the Black Earth Knights first, then turned to Robb and Madeline, looked left and right, and suddenly had a “Ah, how nice” expression on his face. He muttered, “I can see two families getting married again.”

Robb said, “Huh?”

Barry said, “Ah, I didn’t say anything.”

He turned to Madeline and said in a low voice, “Duke, our scouts have found suspicious movements in the forest across the lake. They may be the scouts of the Mondra army. I plan to send a small team to the other side of the lake to check it out and kill them if they are scouts.”

Madeline nodded, “Yes, this is a disputed area, and enemy scouts can be seen everywhere. It’s always better to be careful.”

“Go deal with the enemy scouts?” Kante suddenly became interested. “Commander, please let me go.”

Barry glanced at Kante and nodded, “Okay, then you can go with the team. Be careful, new recruit, don’t die on your first battle. I don’t want to explain anything to your uncle.”

Kante said, “Captain, don’t look at me as young, I have fought many battles. When I was in Westwind City…”

“Is fighting in Westwind City considered a battle?” Barry asked irritably. “You were just following behind the lord of Westwind City and shouting ‘666’ and ‘The boss is really cool’. Think about the real battles you’ve fought and what were the results.”

Kante thought carefully, and then said nothing.

Robb chuckled, and Kante looked at him with a mournful expression, “brother Robb, are you laughing at me?”

Robb said, “No no no, I have received professional training and will definitely not laugh unless I can’t help it.”

Kante pretended not to hear his comment and grabbed Robb’s arm, pulling him hard. “Come with me, together we are invincible.”

“Yes, yes, with us working together, we are invincible,” Robb said helplessly as he followed Kante out.

Soon, a small team was formed. Although the number of people was small, they were all elite. The team consisted of Kante, a “knight,” Robb, a “wind magician,” and two elite scouts from the Wind Knights. Their professions were mostly assassins and warriors.

Madeline was a bit worried when she saw that Robb was going, so she asked two Black Earth Knights to follow them.

Thus, a team of twenty-four people sneaked out of the camp.

The other side had probably been secretly watching them from across the lake, maybe even using the Hunter’s detection technique with a range of several thousand meters. Therefore, they could only sneak out of the camp and could not let the other side notice that they had discovered them. Their speed of travel could not be too fast, and they could only quietly sneak around the tree cover to avoid the other side’s line of sight as they silently made their way to the other side of the lake.
