Chapter 302: Assisting Troops and Snacks

Ji Lin sat on a soft chair, and the light from the window indicated that it was almost night.

Unlike the weak lighting network of the territory, which relied on flames and small rune lamps, the Holy City had special street lamps for lighting. The suspended lamp post separated from the underground nacelle and stretched out its umbrella-like body on the bluestone steps.

Then, with the help of the rune circuit, all modules were connected. Each rib of the umbrella with only a skeleton emitted a slightly cold soft white light under the urging of the rune.

These rune-based lights enveloped the entire Holy City at night, making this city in the fifth era burst out with a dazzling luster that was no less than that of the modern times.

Alicia took Ji Lin out of the Pope's Hall and walked with him briskly for a long time until the only thing he could see was the small tip of the top of the central church.

Came to a pastry shop on the side of the road, chose a table for two, and sat down.

It was not the pastry shop where they met, but a street shop that can be seen everywhere in the city, but few people come and go.

Alicia chose this shop. She said that the Pope's Hall was too noisy. If you want to communicate, you should choose a quieter environment that is suitable for getting along and discussing.

However, is it really necessary to come to this kind of pastry shop to communicate?

"This is for you. Just write the application on it as much as you need."

Alicia took out a document with a faint fragrance from her arms. The document left blank for the number of secondments and the name of the secondee.

"The Pope has already entrusted me with the work. We will have a long time to talk next."

She put the document and the gold-rimmed fountain pen pinned on the document on the tea table, turned around and walked to the front desk of the pastry shop to communicate with the owner about what kind of food to order.

Ji Lin watched her back as she turned around and left to order food, and picked up the document on the table to check it out.

It was a very ordinary secondment document, but the handwriting on it did not look like printed text at all - it looked like neat handwritten printed text.

Normal people's handwriting is not exactly the same, as if there is an invisible border that constrains the text. There is space between the pen tip and the shape of the characters, and they are not connected.

Suddenly, a large figure of the Crusader Army wrote on the paper with his fingers holding a pen that was like a toothpick compared to his fingers, and compiled a document template temporarily.

Just imagining this scene makes people laugh.

He scanned the clauses one by one, some of which required the dispatch of troops to be taken care of, and any loss of equipment must be compensated at three times the original price. Such information occupied most of the entire document.

"There are so many clauses."

The chief person in charge column was signed by 'Alicia Reina'

Ji Lin blinked his eyes and saw the other party's full name.

Write the temporary application for ten Crusader Army soldiers in the secondment quantity on the document. He only needs this many. No matter how many secondments there are, he can't use them all, and the troops that are difficult to run in are more like a burden.

Ji Lin wrote on the paper and signed his name at the end of the document.

Before ‘Alicia Reina’.

In the next cleaning mission, he finally had a powerful construct infantry, and his troops no longer lacked close combat capabilities.

He closed the pen cover and pressed it on the document.

But the system had not yet told him the specific content of his cleaning task. At this time, the system was still waiting for all the consenters to confirm. It could only start work arrangements after everyone in the record answered ‘yes’ or ‘no’.

For a year, he had not come to see Alicia.

Want to treat her as a love object... Compared with Jeanna and Guiyu, who had not seen each other for a long time, Alicia, who could always get along, was obviously more suitable as his love object.

Maybe there was a little bit. He initially only regarded her as a person who communicated with the Holy City and obtained greater benefits for the territory.

That's all.

The trade between the territory and the Holy City and the transfer of personnel were inseparable from her help.

It seemed that he was really a little sorry for her.

Ji Lin thought and sighed.

There were so many work affairs in the territory, and he could only spare a little time recently. Compared with external connections, only the bricks and tiles built in the territory will accompany him. Work, work is to build bricks and tiles for the territory.

But if he is really given a long window period, will he really choose to come to the Holy City to see Alicia...

Maybe, he prefers a more relaxed life alone.

Alicia put a cup of coffee with milk from the tray in front of Ji Lin, leaning slightly, revealing her proud chest under the loose priest's uniform. Her hair fell on the side of her cheek, and she reached out to gently lift her hair and hang it behind her ear.

"Here-this is your coffee."

She put the sugar and milk on the tray on the table, and then sat back opposite Ji Lin. The light silver hair was tied up from the middle and fell on the soft chair.

But it would look good if someone handled official business with him, so Ji Lin turned his eyes away and pushed the document on the table a little forward.

"I have signed it."

Ji Lin pushed the completed document to the center of the table and handed it to Alicia.

The mission of advancing to the fifth era is imminent, and he must also make the greatest efforts to ensure the advancement of his territory. The reward given to him by the system in advance is only temporary, and he can get some of the benefits of arriving in the fifth era in advance.

It would be best to let the seconded Skitarii conduct exercises and cooperation with their own territory in the remaining days, so that the musketeers can get used to the Skitarii's tactics and combat mode.

Seven days, five days left.

"Let me see, um..."

Alicia brought the document to her and confirmed his needs word by word.

"When can the team set off?"

"It will take a day to prepare the Skitarii, and all the equipment must be brought from the warehouse,"

Alicia thought for a while, answered and raised a new question.

"Ji, is there a special means of transportation?"

Ji Lin nodded and gave Alicia a positive answer.

Although the largest transport vehicle in the territory has a speed of only four kilometers per hour, it is definitely enough to use if the terrain factor is ignored, and it is not a problem to carry construct infantry such as the Skitarii.

The movement of the airship ignores the terrain factor and the physical consumption factor.

Humans cannot walk five kilometers per hour steadily for 24 hours a day, but airships can move 4 kilometers every hour for 24 hours a day regardless of the terrain.

"Then there is no need for transportation assistance... The Skitarii are not suitable for long-distance raids, and the joints are severely worn out - but we will provide spare parts, so you don't need to worry too much about maintenance costs."

"Serious joint wear? How many days can they continue to fight?"

Ji Lin noticed the wear and tear problem she mentioned and immediately took it to heart. It would be very troublesome for him if these Skitarii were to break down while fighting.

Alicia nodded her chin and answered Ji Lin uncertainly. The Skitarii have not left the Holy City to fight outside for too long, and now no one knows how long these things can sustain the battle.

"Well, the high-intensity combat time is only seven days?"

Seven days... It's really a Versailles statement.

Ji Lin suppressed his distrust of the Skitarii. How could the hidden ultimate unit of the Church of Light that was praised in the forum in the previous life be so simple? Every time they discussed combat power in the forum, they would compare various arms. The ultimate unit of the Church of Light on the surface was the Holy Wing Angel.

Even the heavy combat tanks of the seventh era could not do it without a maintenance team to operate for seven days without maintenance or even low maintenance.

The territory's steam spiders can only fight continuously for thirty minutes. After thirty minutes, the mechanical parts inside the steam spiders will begin to break down and crack.
