687: Chapter 620 Prismatic Sniper Armored Suit (5800, First Update) 687: Chapter 620 Prismatic Sniper Armored Suit (5800, First Update) The genius of the White Folks who had been seriously injured left the hospital and imdiately entered his own research lab, declining all external visitors to conduct closed research.
For those who were paying attention to Ian, this beca an interesting piece of news.
At first, they didn’t quite understand the direction of Ian’s research, but soon, it beca known that the boy was now wholeheartedly studying various special potions and had even started collaborating with the Firestone Group to research Armor Suits.
Then, everyone started to feel amused.
——Clearly, this was after being indirectly affected by the aftermath of the Heavenly Flood King, a decision made in pain to equip himself with a strong defensive suit, right?
To tell the truth, so reactions were over the top.
After all, how could Armor Suits withstand the aftermath of the Fourth Power Level?
But everyone understood that soone who had just recovered from a serious illness and narrowly escaped death was indeed in a sensitive state of mind.
Ian channeling his unease into research was a very normal thing.
Moreover, such a reaction made Ian’s image seem a bit more real…
They preferred to believe in these realities they saw, seeing a person with flaws.
However, those who had actually seen Ian’s research process and had personally witnessed the Armor Suit gradually taking shape knew better.
This was not so emotional outburst or an overreaction.
Ian was serious.
The year of 773 in the Era of Tara, October 5th.
Half a month after Ian returned from the Avak Domain, the Spiral Spire District.
The Spiral Spire District, managed by the Ledillia Family in the Lower City District of the Imperial Capital, is divided into two levels.
The upper level is a normal residential area with restaurants offering delicacies from all over The Empire and even what is said to be The Empire’s best ice cream shop.
The proprietor is rumored to be a Butterfly Person from Icewind Valley, whose family’s maple honey ice cream and hazelnut vanilla ice cream are highly praised.
The underground, anwhile, is the heavy industry park of the Imperial Capital.
Along with the Double Ring District, it is one of the industrial pillars of the capital, equipped with complete alchemy vehicles, armored vehicles, and complex Spirit Energy equipnt production lines.
Most of the capital’s Armor Suits are also produced here.
In addition to this, things like industrial machine tools and alloy processing are mostly done here, with defenses capable of resisting attacks by Fourth Power Level fighters.
Of course.
There are also Armor Suit testing bases here.
In the suburbs, the lighting in the Experintal Garden is consistently uniform.
The open ground is filled with gravel and large rocks that seem to serve as targets.
In the distance, one can see several long streaks caused by acceleration and deceleration.
Towering sand dunes are deliberately piled to the side, likely targets for testing so kind of high-powered weaponry, occasionally showing traces of lting, frost, or electrocution.
An elderly man with white hair but with a very tough appearance sits at the top of the observation tower in the center of the Experintal Garden, using a telescope to survey the whole area.
Anna Tekumse had survived both the Leap Campaign and the Blood Desert Campaign.
It was a stroke of luck to have co back alive.
To say that might be an understatent; not everyone could go through The Empire’s two big campaigns against Steep Ridge Fortress and Fiery Fla Land and remain unscathed—more than luck, this required extraordinary skill and quick reflexes.
Especially as a land-based Armor Suit pilot, Anna’s entire military career was spent amid enemy fire and the roar of enemy Armor Suit engines.
His piloting skill and combat artistry, as well as, most importantly, his luck, were all exceptional.
It was for this reason that with the military’s support, he attained the strength of the Second Energy Level, retiring with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Imperial Second Armored Division, and afterwards, took up a leisurely job at the Armor Suit testing base providing recomndations and assisting with observations.
Leisurely indeed, but maybe too leisurely.
Compared to the post-war period when various new-model Armor Suits kept erging, in today’s peaceful ti, research funds are mostly allocated to Sky Armor.
Even when the land-based Armor Suits are occasionally upgraded, there’s nothing too fresh.
The daily routine involved reading newspapers or drinking tea, leaving the veteran not without boredom.
However, with the recent years of dia propaganda, Anna also sharply sensed that war was coming…
A few weeks ago, Prince Michael’s declaration of preparedness for war had already influenced the military internally, from soldiers to officers, and even the military leadership, who sensed both the scent of blood and the allure of military exploits.
Duke Sorin’s Domain had been incommunicado for more than two weeks, just like the Avak Domain.
The movent in Steep Ridge Fortress to the north made clear that if The Empire formally declared war on Fiery Fla Land, those separatists from back in the day wouldn’t hesitate to attack and try to take a piece of The Empire for themselves.
But no one was afraid of this.
Military personnel were gearing up their weapons and equipnt, Armor Suit pilots patiently checked every part of their machines, previously drunken officers started to tidy up their appearance again, and the nearly corrupt northern legions began to repeatedly stress the importance of military discipline.
Everyone was preparing for war of their own accord.
Peace had been too long, and the Sublimator Collective, nurtured by The Empire, was eagerly in need of a victory to further their own accomplishnts.
The citizens needed the triumph of a foreign war to satisfy their pride and accumulated anger, while the leadership required a war to unify internal thinking.
Everyone was aware that war was inevitable and would start soon.
It was for this reason that the testing base gradually received various new Armor Suits for testing, making Anna’s days finally less monotonous.
